Oudoor Autos - Earth Juice Trials 1

Ohhh noo peeps!!! Tragedy. This has been a very good outdoor grow and I have had very few hiccups overall. Everything was going well and then boom... the Elements and Original's tops were attacked by worms. I had been closely watching them because something didn't feel right and I woke up to the tops showing what appeared to be light burn. Upon closer inspections I found the culprit and was able to salvage a lot of the plant. However, it was not without the loss. In the end I lost about 2 grams from the top each of the infected plants. The Control plant remained unaffected, thankfully. This is not the end of the world, but I am a visual person so seeing the tops damaged is going to hurt me for the remainder of these girls's short life. I believe the reason these two were attacked is because the were too far along in bud development by the time I began spraying for pest prevention. Also, I could have sprayed them weekly once I did begin my pest prevention regimen. In the end would it have been worth it to spray these nugs deep into development... I guess so. The weather is getting a bit hotter and the sun is beating down. I have begun flushing all three and I believe I may be taking them down within the next 10 days. The smell of these nugs is amazing and the coloring on the tops before we lost them was pretty. The trichome production on the remaining nugs leaves me to believe this is going to be great smoke soon. I dry for 14 days in darkness and 60% humidity to make that happen. See you next week for what could possibly be the last entry in this diary. I will update after cure as well to update on the final results of the nutrient line comparison. PS. I am trying a different camera. Lets see if it helps the quality.
