TWS, you are not alone with the paranoia of large monster plants. I feel the same way too because where I live it's not the best place for kids on the streets at night. Another reason why I built my ghetto hoop house. I think for where I live (riverside county) June would be perfect for starting outdoors. Next season I am doing all SCRoG s outdoor, that will keep me at ease for height n security.
For bugs, I use SNS 209 (systemic). I also spray neem mixed with Pro-Tek n dish soap. I also use Safer for the fucking terminators, that's what I call caterpillars. I got destroyed by them last year.

TWS...Looking fing amazing! Good luck with the height control 
Jozikins...for your pumpkin, you can try to pollinate it yourself. I have a gord (I think that's what it is) that I pollinated myself. As soon as you see the flower open on the little pumpkin, find a male flower and carefully pick it off at the base so you don't lose the stamen. Open the female flower as much as you can and shake the stamen from the male around in there. That is the only way mine are growing. For some reason, otherwise they just close the flower back up and rot.

I know man. Im on the fence about getting a gun but don't want to go down with that rap if something was to happen on a search warrant . You never know how a knock & talk goes with the way things are. Even when in full compliance as I am. I would never shoot anyone in my backyard but Im afraid of someone coming in the house and being unprotected. Your not gonna steel my plants very fast to where I want see or hear a ripper. They are to big and tied the fuck down. They're enclosed in wire fence with a locked door. You would have to occupy my household to take them. I don't like being unprotected to follow the laws. On the other hand if I was to get a bad rap I wouldn't be able to own a gun anyways so what's it matter ? food for thought. If something was to happen would you call 911 for help ?
Thank you fumble, Imma gonna go to some sexing ! lol

hey TWS, sorry not to have been hittin the like button on yer show - my computer is a piece of garbage and I have a hard time seeing all the photos for some reason - maybe in the way they are posted. anyway I'm sure yer garden is rockin and I'm enjoyin the thread... hey maybe next year instead of starting later you could start at the same time, but do a light dep so that the first wave finishes in time to replant - that way you can keep yer plants a manageable size.
Been reading about everyone's problems w/caterpillars from cabbage moths. I'm in So Cal 10 miles inland. So far, I've had no problems. I have an Amnesia, Skywalker and Maui Diesel growing. I see the moths once in a while but usually they almost land on the marigolds around my girls but then fly away when they smell them. I also have spearmint, peppermint and nasturtiums planted at the base of the plants to keep away pests.
I have pulled off a couple cocoons from the underside of leaves and stabbed the green fuckers inside. The cocoons were fluffy white and you could see the worm inside through the cocoon. Are those from cabbage moths? Do you think cabbage moths will still be a problem for me? What should I look for?

Got 90% of my bamboo cages supports done, and ran out of my bamboo. So I am going to focus on my trellis netting next.
