what exactly is BT? I had budworms bad last year, and def. need something to keep them in check. Absolutely right they will do some serious damage to your crop. Found that out the hard way. Budworm doodoo = budrot

thank you! a little bit of planning and a early start gets all the credit. I'm just now getting back into it, I had been a little under the weather for a while.
It's a bacteria that kills caterpillars. It's organic and safe to use. I like Spinosad as well. It's another bacteria that's safe and kills bugs.

Heer you go. You will want to start treatment rite away ! Trust me. You can spray once a week and this will help in the end. http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5344/bacillus-thuringiensis-a-natural-and-safe-microbial-pesticide
The tobacco worm will form on your plant, eat , crap and then spin some type of webbing or silt material . All this happens inside your flowers. Once they do all this the flower begins to dye , next creating mold ! Control it now and thank me later ! Good luck!

im in SW part, like by the infamous siesta key beach, we have plenty of Lowe's and Home depots around here.. im growing 18 this season, about 7 of them are only about month and half into veg and are about 2 ft tall, some of them root bound as i couldnt transplant right away, but they are taking offf now..im going to be buying molasses soon too when they flower, i also use bamboo stick to make cages, it helps me spread out the tree and get light inside the plant, if needed,plus it helps the plant be more stable when the storms come..i got 4 skunk #1 seedlings that are germinating right now, and another 7/10 seedlings that popped open are said to be good beans form Cali, so im really counting on my source..

looks good. yea I had to do it that way. the area they are planted in will hold 1 to 2 inches of water when it rains. So I kept the pots 6 inches above ground level to help the pots keep the plant from flooding.

LOL that's exactly what it is florida hydro! by planting in ground and using water crystals I haven't had to water once since they were transplanted. haha. I'm loving it. However I will start watering regularly once budding is in full swing.

its hard to say what you would pull of her Russian man. There's a lot of factors that go into it. But I do believe it's possible to pull a couple ounces to maybe a half a pound. I wouldn't count on anything more then that. My Pineapple Chunk is 6 ft tall now and I'm hoping to pull a half pound.
