Ok that i have never seen before but bugs are bugs. A good blast of pesticide should work wonders.
I think this is a gall midge. The second one is tipped over.
Just 4 weeks or so 5 maybe that's all I needOh boy, ya I see what you mean. I'm trying to get rid of broad mites right now. I'm winning I think, but it's so close to flowering now and I have to ease up a bit. At least you can see yours, not that it's a benefit, but it made my plant a lot harder to diagnose.
First time I've seen your little buggers. Sounds like you got the right controls going though to eliminate them.
I'd hit em hard but I'm trying to keep as organic as possible. Since she's in flower I hope to go hard organic and pulling off the infestation bulk before it gets out of hand. we'll see
What sort of damage does this critter do to your plant?
Hi Slowpuffer, thats a very good question. At this point, none at all that I could perceive. There's the interesting twist. to consider. I picked most of them off with the leaves. Now I won't have to spray anything if it continues this speed. I hope.
Hi, mmm hugs are nice right back to you Lady . Your question about bottom mold is a good one and the Christmas tree has a really thick bottom. I'm going to clean the area up in the next few days. I have to truss her up to help her hold her giant sticky buds up. That's when I'm going to defoliate real good near the ground too. The spray for mold is working right now so there's little sign of it today. I'm not going to prune like that. The energy is crazy on this girl. Her branching and bud structure are amazing to me. When I visit long enough to admire and see where the future is going I see energy like all my tent grows in one tree. I gotta sit down i'm getting dizzy thinking. Don't want to jinx things either.Hey I just made it for the action part, big hug first, we all go through it. Now to avoid bottom mold, do you think it's a good idea to prune the bottom 1/3 away so you can send the energy to the top? My little runt beauty would have gone nicely with your beast.
i wouldn't spray anything on the plants, if there's no damage. And If you was going to do any trim, then It should have been done 2-3 wks. ago. At this stage, i wouldn't do anymore trim. i can hardly wait till harvest time !! Favorite time of yr. !!
Thanks for the advice. I however took off a few small branches that were touching the ground. I'll put your advice in memory for the future. Now I have to give these tiny buds a quick dry. Do you think I can remember who posted an awesome tutorial yesterday? Nyet
Ok OK I agree. A bit of thinking about your advise to remove the bottom 1/3. You're right to get some of that off the floor. So I took the shears to her and got up close and personal. Took everything touching the ground off. She;s liberated of those branches holding her down. Now she can rerout her energy and be less prone to get cooties from the ground. BTW Your beauty and my beast. I can get this here at home ya know.Hey I just made it for the action part, big hug first, we all go through it. Now to avoid bottom mold, do you think it's a good idea to prune the bottom 1/3 away so you can send the energy to the top? My little runt beauty would have gone nicely with your beast.
