About a buck and change. I had a few laying around and bought about 14 I think from home depot. It was less than twenty $.

I got an XJ-13 clone today that I'm throwing outside (the clone tender said they do well outdoors and yield quick). I also picked up a WhiteFire Og clone to grow indoors.

took some pics after a watering. she's really spreading out after I topped it last week. I may have to move some of my veggies out of the way.

Blue Dream - Startin to flower now. I gave it a light dose of bloom nutes last week. Up until then, only fish tank water.

XJ-13 - put out in early July, The main stem at bottom of plant snapped from strong winds a few weeks back. I taped it up and it has recovered, but stunted big time.

I hope not. Are bud spots a prime spot for laying eggs? and what color are they?
I have not sprayed anything on my plants, only some snail killer around the perimiter. I do have some pests munching around my veggies in the garden. thanks for the tip! I'm planning to clean her up and treat her this weekend.

She might need some phosphorus (possibly N). You might give her another light feeding (something with mostly P, but some N & K as well) and a shot of Earth Juice Microblast to be sure she has her micronutrients. There is some lightening of the leaves that may indicate a minor deficiency.

Yes, it seems that once plants start flowering and buds appear, so do the eggs/caterpillars. The good news is with some preventative maintenance you can keep it under control. Last year was bad in the bay area. Almost everyone I knew that was growing outddoors were dealing with them. From what I've read on here, spraying early and getting a routine down, you shouldn't have too much of an issue. I've been spraying once a week (best time is either sunrise or sunset). Once your girls start packing on the weight and the buds mature, it's probably best to spray at sunrise rather than sunset in order to prevent any type of mold that might grow from moist overnight conditions in/on the buds. I use a product by Safer, its called Caterpillar Killer and contains a chemical called BT. The bottle says it safe to use up to the day of harvest. Be aware, from what I've heard, it only kills Caterpillars and isn't good for any other type of pest control. Growing outdoors, I highly recommend that you get the proper products to control pest and get a routine down. They can ruin all of your hard work come harvest time if left ignored. Good luck!!
