I guess 'cause they eat all the little buggies????
If your growing outdoors collect garden spiders in tubs and chuck them all over your plants
good morning lacy. looks like your trimming. they look very good. thank you for waiting, you won't be disappointed. i too do not see the curled leaf tips but the buds look ready. with all the rain you've had it would be best to get them in before rot starts. they can handle a day or two of rain but need to dry out every day or so or rot will start to set in. i'd say they are ready and you seem to be ding it right. only biting off what you can chew at one time. i think you have done very well.
Good Evening. Yes I have been trimming and trimming and trimming.
I think our outdoor grows here in Ontario don't get the curled leaves because of the temps and humidity. We have high humidity and with all the rain we had, there was no way those leaves were gonna curl so I cut 'em down this morning. You have less humidity where you are plus have warmer weather while in the last stages of flowering.
I woke up this morning and some were starting to look slightly water logged.
I did not know I needed to dry my buds. Thats a lot of buds to dry off.
I still have about 1/4 yet to harvest but those buds are clearly NOT ready and are certainly not rotting.
Thanks for your help fdd.
P.S. I think most people pay attention to what you have to say.
Get your husband to collect the spiders if you don't like them and use them once the moths come into season.I've got my hubby and the neighbour wanting me to grow worms for them to go fishing and now you say chuck in a bunch of spiders????
Ewwwwwwwww!!!
Ok thanks. I think.
but watching movies makes it more fun.Get your husband to collect the spiders if you don't like them and use them once the moths come into season.
They kill a lot of moths and you can collect them back up again when you want to harvest and chuck them back into your normal garden area.
1 dead moth = 100 never to be born bud eating caterpillars.
10 spiders will eat many many moths
if its the chunky kinda gummy goo that i get on trimming scissors, it makes a great topper for a bowl because it's full of trich's. i used a razorblade when i started out but ive recently found that the exacto knife i use for cloning works even better to scrape the stuff off and ball it up.Hi Gygax,
Yes I do have a magnifying glass that I use to do some of my sewing like putting in zippers and stuff. It also has a light on it so it is good. I have lots of l;ittle trimming scissors too but they are getting all gummies up. My nail polish remover cleans them up really nice.
And of course I am enjoying the smoke.
That goes without saying.
Cheers!!!
if only i could get my wife to take as much as an interest in growing as you have........I've got my hubby and the neighbour wanting me to grow worms for them to go fishing and now you say chuck in a bunch of spiders????
Ewwwwwwwww!!!
Ok thanks. I think.
well............. i have found one tiny worm thing, it was dark and about 5 mil long but i assumed it was there by accidentbut one worm in loads of rot, cant be
all of my plants have it, even though they are no where near each other, strange....
i trimmed up a plant that had a bit of mold on the outside edges of the leaves and they have dried ok, thank god
two of my plants that have mold still have some clear thichs and just the odd amber one so i am desperately hanging on, dont look like i can stretch it for another 2 weeks
I used to love cleaning the resin off hash pipes for some hash oil. Thats potent too.
I have this stuff ALL to myself.
ling with a woman here. 
I used to collect frogs and spiders for my old mans greenhouse when i was a kid.
Just flick the spiders of with a spoon when you want to harvest.
Frogs in jars and spiders in butter tubs,lol,better than washing up or the hoovering for my pocket money anyway
