Been about 10 days since I last updated. My CBG is finally done its reveg, and starting to fill out nicely with some light training. Everyone else is going strong, but Japanese Beetles are starting to eat some of my fan leaves.

Hi plants looking fantastic. Would you put insecticide powder around the bottom of the pots? If it's outside the pots it wouldn't contaminate the soil in the pots, but the beetles would walk on it and poison them.
Also coachroach gel might be worth trying. They take it back to the nest.

Thanks on the plants, but no insecticide for the bugs as they can easily fly. They are rampant on our Raspberry plants with what looks like an orgy of 4-6 piled on top each other. Plus my 2 golden retrievers would lick/eat whatever I put near my pots

Ctc has these traps for $15. They work well.

Would need a shit ton on these guys for what we have. We just get a bucket of soapy water and flick them in. I think on the raspberry plants yesterday, we flicked a good 30 of them into their death bath.
