That kush mints the smell is identical to the buds got a gram on the dot! Very happy with this nugsmasher!
Everything looks real good except that last picture. It doesn’t look bad but there is something all over the leaves on that flower. Can you get a closer picture of the white stuff on those leaves?
Looks like. Bug bites. Or tiny bugs. Thrips maybe. Kinda blurry.
Yes it kind a looks like bugs to me too. The only thing is they’re on top of the leaves. Pretty unusual.
It’s aphids I have extreme aphids on all my plants especially the go-go auto. The tiny white bug looking things I thought was thrips or something but it’s aphid carcasses left by the ladybugs!

Well it sounds like you’re on top of things.
I’ve used a leaf lower to get rid of the dead ones but it just made a bigger mess and pissed off the ladybugs lol
The autos are at 80 days Tuesday the 23rd they’ve been looking close pretty milky some amber so I’ll just water one last time this Tuesday then let them dry out for a week chop em wash them hopefully it washes those suckers off. Then either use lost coast with isopropyl and spray for 10 days straight or find some strong chemicals and eliminate the aphids once and for all. Then flip the tent to 12/12
Aphids do not do well with water. They wash off fairly easy. So if you can take your plants outside that are not in flower and spray them off with the pressure from your hose without getting too much moisture in the pot you can get most of them off. Then after you’ve got rid of most of them outside while your plants dry off a little bit you can sanitize your tent and once your plants are mostly dry you can treat them with your plant therapy or whatever you choose to use.
If you do a bud wash after you harvest your auto flowers that will remove pretty much anything that will cause a problem through the drying process.
If you do take your plants outside and wash them off, you could put a fan blowing directly on them for a little while and this will help them dry out a little bit quicker so you can get to spraying for bugs sooner.
Oh yeah make sure you do a treatment on your soil also. There are some types of aphids that lay their eggs there.
Thanks I’m definitely skeptical on washing but I don’t see a choice. Man seems like they never go away!
I wash off my outdoor plants usually a couple of times before flowering and sometimes there are five or 6 feet tall and I’ve never had a problem. The more bugs you get off your plants before you treat them the greater the chance of success.
And on another note, any bugs any foliar feeding any possible mold spores that could be on your plants that can cause problems when drying and curing Get washed off in a bud wash.
Well if you need a little ipm advise. What i use that works is einstiens leaf shine. Its a first extraced cold press neem oil and the first extracted is a big deal And i also use coco wet. Its an emulsifier and wetting agent. Non organic. Take 1.5 oz of the neem and put into a 32 0z spray bottle and then 10 drops of the coco wet and add them with warm water. Shake up the spray bottle and mist the plants and shake everytime you spray to agitate the mix as your spraying every 3 days. Dont spray to run off of the leaves. A light misting does the trick. This combination always works. The coco wet makes this neem stick to everything. Including the bugs. And if the dont suffocate right off the neem melts there outter shell. And makes ot imposible to molt and shed there skin to go to the next stage in the life cycle and they just die off. Another one im testing now is dakine420 flatline. Its mainly for aphids and mites. All natural. Only available from dakine420.com
Is Neem okay to use during flowering? That Flatline sounds promising!
Neem is not supposed to be used in flower. Its will brown the pistils. And gives it a bad smell.
I’m gonna try that flatline! juat waiting till payday!
Hey long time since I’ve posted on here. I got some autos coming up to harvest soon figured i share the results
I don’t know about with pot, but all my garden stuff (edible food) I put in a 5 gal bucket with salt water, it make all the bugs turn loose, and they float to the top, then I put the hose in the bottom and gently run it, they all run off the top of the bucket. Amazing how many bugs come out that you don’t see when your picking your stuff lol.

Hey everyone it’s that time of year again my 2022 outdoor just transplanted these girls today I plan to force flower them with a black tarp hopefully by the second weekend of June to beat September’s horrible weather I got forbidden fruit, runtz,Tahiti blueberries and grandpa’s stash this will all be done with earthdusts base and boost super soil mix
Nice. Have you used earth dust before? I am also using it on some outdoor stuff this year. First time I’ve used it happy with it so far.
