I am 10 weeks in flowering and these Cheeze are still not completely done. My issue is bortytis and worms. Every outdoor crop I've ever done has same problems all up and down Cali coast.. What can I do this late in game besides bringing inside every night?
Also I'm posting pics here , my iPad won't upload anywhere else...
nevermind , I deleted pics till I set up another photobucket, give me a sec

We're all battling the same issues Bro :hump: The mold is most likely a product of the worms, since it's not very humid/dewy here in paradise. Next year you can take preventative measures to minimize the issue (apply BT early and often), but it's probably too late for BT now. Tweeze the worms and remove the area around the rot, like daily. If you are losing the war and most of your prime buds, chop em early. The worms will leave, or fall out during drying and you can remove any rot you missed during trim. "Early" bud bein better'n than no bud :roll:

Hate these little fucks. I don't mind sharing, but they seem to go for every large cola.. :cuss:

Good luck these last few weeks...you can do it! :hump:

I put up a large bug zapper in my front yard to kill moths this year and I'm spraying with BT (safer caterpillar killer) regularly.

If you can protect them with a screen house or greenhouse that works even better.

The bt is what I'll go w next time, already harvested a few because of the worm/mold issues and def. some strains are more prone to gettin it. Also seems the more dense the cola the better chances of not getting penetrated by the worms until these last weeks. I let mine ride out as much as possible.
Does anyone use a cordless leaf blower? I think I MIT get a cheap ryobi and blow em off in the morning.
They just look sooo good and hate having to lose anything from the dankness! The one i didn't supercrop as much doesn't have the tighter nugs and loses some every day so I've been bringing that one in @ night

All you can hope to do is keep the worms to a minimum. If you stopped all spraying you will need to inspect your buds manually using tweezers and or a hemostat. If you see any dead areas or bud leaves drying out, cut out the area, clean it and dig for the worm. Usually if you've sprayed, the worm will be dead but some damage will already have been done. Worms are a bitch but I'm not going to let them take all my prime buds- I've worked too hard to get to this point so there is no way I'm giving up. Good luck, if you keep on top of the problem you shouldn't lose mush.

Rotate BT and Spinosad for worms and Actinovate for the mold they create. All foliar sprayed in rotation once a week.

Thx for the experienced response. I will def. get in on the bt/spinosad next year in my outdoor. I am wanking about less than 1/2 zip of finished dankness, In the big picture , not worth cryin bout. These are my best grows to date and they're just bag seeds. I did end up 100% female (9 for 9)

Shit, 9 for 9 is a big win :clap: With that kind of luck I hope you bought a lottery ticket? :eyesmoke: I also notice the same as you and BWG707 (in another thread), the denser buds don't seem to get hit anywhere near as much or as hard. And some strains are definitely hit harder than others. A good reason to "diversify" your grows, if at all possible :hump: And doncha be knockin' bag seed bongsmilie Some of the best smoke I have ever had, came from "bag seed" :weed: Hope yours is just as tasty!

Good luck.
