I usually put it on the main stem of the plants. I never really have problems with earwigs in containers.

@Urhighness88 Yeah. Earwigs can fuck some shit up. They will tear up the root zone and foliage in large numbers. They can swiss cheese a plant in no time if you have a bad infestation. Best to keep them in check.

Good thing I've only seen like one but my purple haze is getting chomped by something thinking it might have something to do with the colony of ants around her

@curiousflower Should start flowering around August. Sometimes sooner, like mid-late july. You are gonna have alot of pot if your plant is already 3 feet tall.

@wvblazin I only Have 2 HSH, 1 SB, 9 Bahia Blackheads, 1 Brains Damage, 7 Seahash, 8 Seawarp, 7 Stumble weed, and 22 mixed(Super Silver Haze and Random Indica-dom) bagseeds. Gonna flower out all the bagseeds in a couple weeks. I still have 10 seeds I'm hoping germinate. I am hoping for a male and a female HSH so I can have some HSH seeds stocked up for later. About the internode spacing........I have found that using seaweed extract keeps the internode spacing a bit tighter on stretchier strains.

Do you know the NPK of the foliar feed off hand?

Some ants will eat the bark of the plants. But I have never seen ants eat the leaves personally. Earwigs eat ants and if the ants leave, they probably start chowing down on some purple haze. Kinda like smoking a blunt/bowl/joint after you eat a fat ass meal, but for bugs lol. Ants are cool to have sometimes because they aerate the soil. But they also farm aphids. I am experiencing this first hand right now. I have actually SEEN, with my own two eyes, ants farming aphids in my veg greenhouse. Now I am getting rid of the ants and the aphids. Fuck you bitch ass ants!! :cuss:bongsmilie

0.1-0.1-1.5 I use Growmore Seaweed Extract. You can get it at HD, Lowes, or the local nursery around here. I think even wally world sells it. Stuff works great. I only foliar feed with the Seaweed extract about once a week. Sometimes twice.

@wvblazin Nice. I can't wait till mine grow up. Almost all of the seeds I planting have popped up so far. I am still waiting on the brains damage seeds to germinate. I usually have seeds germinate in 24-36 hours. So I am very impatient lol. I have talked to one person that said they have had seeds take up 12 days to germ. So hopefully they are just slow germers. I would hate to have wasted my money. I started some more Seahash, Stumbleweed, and Seawarp just in case they don't germ. And if they do.......fuck it extra seedlings=extra bud lol

Thanks man.. I have a foliar feed but its not a seaweed extract. Its Master Gardner 4-15-12 but I'm kind of hesitant to try it. I think I'll hold off until I check out Lowe's and a few other places to try and find some of the seaweed extract. Appreciate the advice.

That's what I like to hear.. I threw in close to a dozen bag-seeds for that same reason.. to up my yields. They came from some lemon strain so I'm hoping they turn out as good as the bud they came from. I still have 4 HSH seeds that I didn't start because normally hazes cause my anxiety to flare up something fierce.

I foliar feed every morning around 9 am with Maxsea All Purpose 16-16-16. The key is to start at 1/4 strength one week and work your way up week by week until you see leaf tip burn. Then dose it down a tad and you have your ratio. And no problem with the advice. When I first heard about seaweed extract I was thinking "snake oil" but then I started using it. This shit works wonders for a strong root system and healthier plant. GL bro

I am using Bayer fruit, citrus, and vegetable imid for aphids. For ants I use Terro Outdoor ant baits. They help reduce the population greatly. They shouldn't be back till next year.

The only ant baits tha have worked for me were Terro brand. Raid is bullshit.

@Neoangelo147 I have had the same experience with Terro. I guess I got around to putting them out too late. This is the first year they have farmed aphids. I'm glad I caught them early. And thanks bro. Should be seeing some flowers in a few weeks. I'm excited.

The seedlings are healthy and enjoying the heat wave. I am just hoping that the fresh sprouts can pull through. I have faith in them.
100_0564.JPG I have a couple seedlings showing sex.

1 male100_0562.JPG
1 female100_0560.JPG

Got these all transplanted into 3 gallons. I am gonna let them stretch their roots a little bit and then start flowering in about a week or so.
