Shed will know more as I've never had to use it myself, but another source states this:
Spray soap on plants affected by aphids, scales and mites. ... A two percent solution, about five tablespoons of any soap in a gallon of water, will do, but insecticidal soap works best and is less likely to harm your plants. If you apply during flowering make sure to rinse with freshwater.

No seeds but may contain pollen so you want to pick them off gently. A wet paper towel to wet it down and wipe afterwards helps if the sac breaks. If you have lots you may want to look at harvesting.

Thanks Mr. S. That bud was the only one I found like it so I just cut it off instead of risking a (nother) newbie mistake - and I did get on the ladder to see the tops of the colas closer. There were two in it and both looked contained. I inspect that plant every day while trying to make it to the finish line so I’ll keep my eyes open. I’m not sure how long she has but I think another month? :thanks: :green_heart:

Yes on the insecticidal soap spray, either store-bought or home-made, it's good to rinse off after 10-15 minutes. And speaking of rinsing off, spraying water on the nanner bud before plucking it out would probably be the safest bet to prevent pollen from impregnating any pistils.

Thanks Shed. I’m off to find a recipe!
 
I have a bit of a dilemma... My boy made it through Firefighter/EMT training and will graduate soon! Family day is next Saturday so we are planning to drive up to DC for the weekend. My tent Cindy's are so very close. I was hoping I could harvest them this weekend. I have smoked a test bud and it has good potency, but it made me a little nervous/shaky and I don't want that. And that tells me - I think - that it has a little more time. However, the bud is from a week ago so.. Anyway, the world's are colliding and I need to figure out when to harvest based on my desired effects as well as the time involved in drying and curing. And then schedule it around my much needed weekend with the boy. Here are a few trich pics from today:

Congrats to your son!

Based on the number of clear in those pics (and your response to the tester), I'm thinking you can plan your harvest for when you get back. Unless things change rapidly over the next week.

Thank you! It was touch and go there for a couple weeks, but he worked hard and made it. Ha! Things change rapidly with my grows...as you've seen! Thank you!
 
Okay. Hope I did this right.
EDIT: tried to post a video but not quite right yet...
 
Sure... in the editor there is an icon that has three dots (...). If you click that a dropdown list pops up and you select 'Media'. Copy/paste the URL of the video location, normally a Youtube address, and you should be good to go.
Tutorial here as well.

So today was par for the course so far (maybe I'm a double bogey kinda gal...?). During my daily inspection I found an area of bud rot on the outdoor Cindy in full bloom. She got unstrapped from the pallet and dragged (literally!) through the door of the Playhouse where surgery was done to remove the section. I did a thorough inspection, did some serious (in my opinion) defoliation, and also made a video showing what I did and asking for suggestions to further defoliate. I will figure that out and get it posted. In Then, I moved on to the tent Cindy's since it was their day for iso spray and discovered, drumroll please.....budrot in two of the top colas. That kinda took the wind out of my sails...
After cutting and trimming the top third of the plant, I ended up with a little more than a pound of wet bud. We have a drying system that we use for drying hops -basically four 6" thick screens that stack in top of each other with a fan inserted into the top container to suck air up thru the screens and dry the hops. I'm drying my two tent Cindy's on the system now. Pics to follow. I'm a little blue and in need of some smooth sailing for the next couple weeks. :confused:

Thank you! I have done that already. But I'm a stealth grow so I have marked it private. Should I share it specifically with 420magazinr.com? My desire is to post it here via YouTube without it being public anywhere but here ,(and hopefully disabling the ability to share it outside of here. Am I being a Diva?

Geez I never thought of that. I would keep it private. I'm assuming it doesn't work when private. Let's see what @oldsmokey does and recommends.
