Skunk in Autopots:my 3rd indoor grow

Hey DST and Lacey
the moths are a stress for me because I can't be sure that they aren't mating and laying eggs on my buds before I get the chance to kill them............

Just got to keep watching them I guess.... the thing is I keep imaging harvesting and drying and finding caterpillars hatching on my drying buds.........eeewwww....

the drying buds are the 1st harvest off my lone nl/haze mother.....and I think they have taken 14 weeks to flower..... I've left a few on the plant to finish up ....so they would prob have been flowering for 15/16 weeks but the time I cut them.... it is such a gr8 smoke but the slowest flowering plant around....I can only really justify having a couple in my room at a time

Lacey your WW looks awesome ,,I wish I could try some

the shiva is very fast to finish 8/9 weeks tops..... she doesn't have much of a smell ,a very subtle floral sent,,,,but the buds are solid and huge... and the big one in the cnr is the orange bud......and this is the best one of those 5 feminised seeds I brought 3 years ago...I'm happy I've cloned her,,,she smells delish ........ happy day

Hey All.......................been going crazy squashing a new batch of caterpillars..... frickin tiny ones this time,.....they have totally shredded the leaves off my orange bud.....

........on a lighter note.....everyone else is ok for the moment,,,,but am watching them like a hawk

Using any sprays?

Hi Jats...
Sorry to hear about your catepillar infestation..
But I have a solution...If you'd like to hear one...

Mavrik is a yates product for sucking and chewing insects, you can pick it up at any garden centre or even Big W...I had to use it two days ago for my leaf miners, fixed the problem almost immediately... Doesn't harm the plants in any way... Check out my mother tent, the plants are super healthy....Thanks and props must go to my hydro shop guys...

Hi Jats
I have read your thread so many times I thought that I should finally subscribe. Great stuff!
I will be starting a coco/autopot grow in a week or so largely due to the inspiration I have got from your thread.
Keep it coming...

Thanks Lacey ....I haven't used any sprays yet,,am pulling them off by hand and I have to find them by finding their damage first,,,they are that small.... I am worried because some of my girls only have a week or so left to flower and I don't want to be spraying poison so close to harvest.....I really should have used that Maverik weeks ago.....I will think about getting some today and read the instructions I guess.... Thanks again

Hey EM welcome 2 me thread,,,gr8 to see you here ....I'm looking forward to see how your grow goes

Thanks for the welcome Jats. When I get something green going I will post some pics. Currently my cam refuses to upload anything. Must be spring fever!
lol

Spring fever..? lucky you ...we are about to start bracing for winter......still it doesn't get so cold here

the damage done................






............

Think of it as help trimming maybe?

How much longer on that one jats?

God damn catepillars, i got them in my jasmine in my living room (gnats on my girls) bugs....grrrrrr. I pulled a whole lot of the foliage out of my jasmine and I saw a freshly opened cacoon. The little moth fecker was still sitting on the ground drying out it's wings....not for long though.....squish.

My old man lives in WA and was telling me the other day about his neighbours growing nice ladies in their back garden...He said he would go and take pictures, I warned him not to make his neighbours paranoid...hehe....don't think I'd like someone haging around my grow taking pics.

Glad you stopped by the 600 Jats. Nice to see you over there.

Hope the harvest works out for ya.

Peace, DST

Yep.....driving me crazy,,,but 2 its late in flower for poison ......

I was thinking that plant had a few weeks to go .....but who knows..... the pistols started turning red/orange a couple of weeks in,,,,,but no sign of flowers anywhere ,,so I think its a trait of the orange bud...they are still growing loads of white hairs so a while to go... I like them well cooked

Hey All ,,,, I have fucked up.... .... one of the timers wasn't working for maybe 2 weeks... and I didn't work it out until a couple of dayze ago...my bad.....a picture says a million words so I'll post up these














............... I don't recommend you try this at home

Hey All,,,,,,well my girls are back on track and I'm thinking of harvesting on Monday...

Only 1 of the 9 seeds I planted did not come up...they are all cugging along just fine.. and the clones are thriving.... the photos are a bit wack because my phone is going down function by function. I can not see an image when I use the camera now,,the screen just stays blank ,,, so I just aim and shoot,,,still takes a pic though,,,,time for a new one I guess








...............

Sorry to hear about the timer drama. To me they look a little sad but there are still some huge buds in there. You also look like you have plenty on the horizon ready to go.

Hey Rocky,,,,, yep very sad looking indeed ... between the caterpillars and the 24/7 HPS light with no fans on 1/2 the time....they are kind of burnt and stripped but hey the buds are phat and I have sampled them and they are a very nice smoke... that's what we want

I'm x-cited about my seedlings...I've never smoked White Russian so it will be a journey of discovery for me and I just LOVE the skunky skunk smell ....but I've already told Uz that so I won't keep banging on about it....at least until it starts to stink

and the clones are going to be my next batch of flowering girls minus the caterpillars,,,,, thank fek ,,, I'm putting my foot down on any more outsiders coming in

Good stuff Jats.... I had another case of leaf miners on my new Super Lemon Haze babies the other day... Used the Mavrik and all seems to be back to normal... Thank God.. Still it could be worse aye???? At least we don't have spider mites...

Hi Jats
Really sorry to hear about your troubles, but I admire the way you take a lickin and keep on tickin.
Things are seldom as bad as they seem at first and we always learn something from adversity don't we?
My grow has finally started for real... the bagseed tests have taught me a lot and I am using the experiences of you and others, as well as my own to fine tune my methods.
Someday I will start a thread and hopefully help others as you have helped me.
Kudos to you, girl!!

hey jats....loving your tree style! shame about the timer issue tho! the autopots seem to be workin a treat! might have to invest in those myself next time round...what litre are the pots? and do you have a link to anywhere selling them? the only ones i can find seem much smaller, i'm a tree person myself so the bigger pots i can find the better check out my journal...not quite trees yet, but getting there...

Hey Lacey, Munkee and inked
oh yeah,,,spider mites.... I'm happy to say there does not seem to be any....if there were than they prob would all be burnt up just like all the leaves were I'm defiantly gonna get some Mavrick Lacey, I'm gonna be ready for any little chewers and suckers that come my way....
I feel the pain from each fuk up,,but if there is one thing I have learnt in this life is don't panic.. stay calm and think about.... I've got to say , it was hard to get myself in the mood for squishing all those , what seemed like 100's of caterpillars.... I really had to psych myself up to go into the flower room... there are still one or two a day I have to kill,but its easier....
Thanks for the support/feedback Uz are all very sweet ..... I say Bring on the Triffords/Trees.......

Good Luck with your grows,,I'll pop over and have a squizz at them and subscribe

The autopots I use are 12' and the website is www.autopot.com.au
