Want to learn everything

[Darkhorse Gardens]

Hello from So. Cal. I joined this community to build on my knowledge of growing and to work on perfecting my craft.

I am relatively new to Cannabis. Only started using it a few years ago as an option to curb my drinking and control work stress. I have to say it has been awesome for me. I have lost 40lbs and my doctor has never been happpier with my numbers. My BP is under control and i am an entirely new person. I started growing 1.5 years ago and have had 3 successful grows. I am currently getting ready to harvest my current white widow crop and was hoping for some advice on dealing with pests during late bloom. Have some spider mites that i just started seeing. Been using spinosad and BT for pests throughout but am eorried about using at this stage.

Welcome darkhorse. Nice looking outdoor setup you got going on. Sorry to hear about the flower pests

Welcome Darkhorse, afraid I don't know anything about pests. But I'm sure someone will give you the answer.

You could try alcohol, dilute with water and spray them on both sides of the leaves.

Have not started a journal yet. Since i am finishing up this grow, i figured to start a journal next time. I go from seed to bloom and am changing my process next round.

do you think that will negatively impact the bud, since i am so late in flower? I am starting a 10 day flush tonight.

Thanks the sheds are just PVC frames with lightweight bug netting on them. Works great to keep the pests out. Until the plants get too big

It won't harm the plants but if your that close to harvest you may want to hold off.

Hi Darkhorse, welcome to
I want to kind of hijack your thread for information that will be helpful to both of us regarding the alcohol spray.
Hi Penny,
can I ask what concentration you use for the solution? You know I have been using Neem but tonight I want to blast the alcohol...can you help out on that?

 

[Darkhorse Gardens]

Hijack away

Thank you my friend. I never knew i had such a passion for gardening.

My wife has been gardening for 20 years and I never got involved..never cared. I get 5 seeds of White Widow and I can't get enough information regarding planting, growing etc. I'm hooked and loving it.

The Neem Oil seemed to turn the trick. I am keeping a close eye on the girls every morning before work and every evening after work. Looking int a post harvest bud wash.

Thanks so much for your shed idea Darkhorse.... Hope you don't mind me copying it. They say copying is the greatest form of flattery you can give someone. LOL.
