Earwigs eating my plant!
- Thread starter Hodgey420
- Start date
I’m super impressed with my discovery of the crackers for earwig bait. They swarm on it every night and I go around spraying them with the dish soap and water mix. It takes about half a minute for it to take effect and then they curl up and writhe around, screaming in agony with their tiny tiny shrieky voices, and die a hideous death, before going back to hell where they came from.
Damn if I could patent this somehow I could be famous. I’d call it Wig Out! Instead I guess I will just have to be ‘that guy on the Internet’. And here I am right on the cutting edge of earwig killing technology. There’s just no justice. Gonna change my name to Earwigcracker....
Or, change it to EarWig Whacker and start selling EarWig Whacking Sticks. Hickory hammer handles for the traditionalists. Plastic hammer handles for the younger generations. And, of course, Wiffle EarWig Whackers for use by innocent children........ snipped ...... Gonna change my name to Earwigcracker....
Someone should check the toy department to see it there are already Wiffle hammer handles. Should be next to the Wiffle Balls and Wiffle Baseball Bats.

@Hodgey420 get some sticky tape (the one to catch flies), put on gloves and wrap the pot so that the will get caught in the dew, or Nuke em and let them know we don't play that S***.

If you are outdoor i would cut a fruit up eat it and place the rine in the garden to draw them towards the fruit instead.

Stay away from petroleum jelly, mold can be possible. Always remember to think about you remedy and not to take immediate action. Do research or ask the guys at the mag! Sorry i didnt see this sooner!

Sweet all my plants are female then these 2 were started from bag seeds stoked there both female lucky lol also my 2 bigger plants that started earlier there showing white hairs should i switch my feed to pre flower or wait
Late reply and it sounds like you’ve sorted it out-
not really showing sex in those pics but also nothing there to indicate a male. Generally in the very early stages if you see it looking like a round ball or it’s on a small stalk then it’s probably male. Female calyxes - previous to putting out hairs- can look very similar but are usually more pointy and not on a stalk.

Off topic but my buddy switched my nutes feed to transition to flower is that to early ? Is it possible to switch it back to veg I did 5 days with the transition to flower nutes
I don’t know what stage your plant is at exactly. You could post a photo of the whole thing if you like. But the short answer is- Yes your options are open, you can carry on with the transition ones, or switch back to veg nutes- usually won’t make a huge difference. If you see that the plant is looking a bit yellow then probably switching back to veg nutes, for more nitrogen, would be better. If she/they look fine then I wouldn’t worry about it and just carry on with the transition blend.
Generally flowering nutrients have a little bit less N and a little bit more of the other major elements - P and K. The difference isn’t huge though.
Check the ingredients list on the backs of the containers and you’ll get a better idea what the difference is between the different nutes. For the most part the ingredients will be the same thing- in slightly varied ratios. Part of the reason for having different mixes at different stages is so companies can you sell more stuff.

Before I was giving 2 gallons of water with micro 10ml, gro 10ml, bloom 5ml, calmag 5ml of GH flora series and I would split it and I would do that twice so both plants get 2 gallons each now the nutes I'm giving for transition micro 8ml, gro 8ml, bloom 8ml, calmag 5ml so not to much difference
Here's pic

Yeah there won’t be much difference. Plants look fine. If they get any paler you may want to consider boosting the nitrogen in the mix. I would up-pot before flowering.

Up-pot that mean put them in a bigger pot? Also 2 of the smaller branches at the very bottom all the leafs are sagging down like they need water o e branch all the leafs are dead and dry the other one there just sagging down and starting to die but everywhere else looks fine is that normal some of the lower older branches start dieing?

Yeh up-pot means transplanting to a bigger one.
Yes it’s normal for older lower growth to die off a bit over time. But not like that. That branch looks like it’s been broken- or has some other stem issue (rot, caterpillars/whatever) that’s killed it.

It did tip over 3 times from the wind but they don't feel broken or look like there's anything wrong , should I cut them off?
