@Bos Whats up dude, Thanks for you reply, Exactly as you describe it! These worms seem to love the buds and I usually find them inside the buds along with their webs and poop. I have done it exactly as you have suggested, I opened all the buds and inspected them closely, and yesterday only found 3 bud with webs and poop but no worms.
I will have to check daily like this, I ended up with sticky fingers yesterday and quite a pleasant smell, its tiresome as I said earlier but I think its worth it. (Im wondering if I should be wearing latex gloves???)
@Stinger96 once mentioned indoor is not for sissies, well I think neither is outdoor!
@Bos where does one get the Margaret worm stuff from? do you remeber how much you paid? (Thanks in advance)
 
Does any one know what the hell this worm is called? Trying to read up on it but keeping finding things on caterpillars

Hiya, Thanks for the reply.
How did you remove the worm poop and webs? manually? 
Did u do a bud wash after harvest?
Im thinking about cutting out all the affected bud sites??? (like cutting out the cancer before it spreads)
 

@Stinger96 Dude is it possible that Im having 2 different problems occuring at the same time? As in is it possible to have a spider mite infestation as well as this worm issue???
Check out below link, really looks like spider mites.

You can also use a still to capture evaporated ethanol for reuse.

Food grade ethanol works out cheaper than Royal Vodka and extracts more - higher potency. A tincture is one of my favourite ways to consume.

You need to decarb the bho / rosin before it can be used as an edible. It is like using a more concentrated form of oil / butter when cooking.
 
A quick google search and I found these guys, never ordered from them before though.

Food grade ethanol is not cheap, I looked into it a few months back and was put off by the price and considering it is a consumable as well.
I wanted to use it to clean BHO and help purge the butane, hoping the Ethanol would be easier to purge.

Ok thank you for the advice. I understand where you're coming from. The reason I'm interested in tinctures is cos I really dig experimentation with edibles. At this point I can put cannabutter any place you can put a fat in food and make it taste nice and get you lit, but some things don't necessarily have the space for the fat, hence wanting to try the alcohol based tincture. Sure I can put cannabutter in a cap, but I'd rather have it in biscuit or a caramel or on a slice of toast. 
 
Whats BHO/dabs like to use as an ingredient? Is that something people do?

Hi All
I’m new to growing, and I’m about three weeks into flowering with some outdoor clones. 
 
I’ve been using vermipure all through veg and have some fire juice which I use once per week now. 
 
Should I stop the vermipure?  I’m worried they go back into veg. 
 
Apoligies for the silly question and thanks for the help. 
 
p.s vermipure is worm castings and fire juice is some organic chemical, both from freedom farms.
 
 

@SAgrowerI’d be keen on a group buy/share. 
 
@Golden-Goose what price range can we expect the seeds to cost and are they all regulars or feminised options as well?

Anyone up for a type of group buy? I really want to grow some of these strains but unfortunately can't spend that amount of money for an entire pack.

No have no Idea.. but will find out..

Yeah vet checked it out.. Done deal.. he's going blind and fast. I got some CBD oil for him to see if it might slow it down. I know it will help with his arthritis but the cataracts I am also not to sure about... but let's see..

@SAgrower please try again. Have increased the usage limit.

And it is live, you can see the product here

I have had a keen eye on this strain, as well as following the work of @Totemic since joining the forum. I therefore went and did the deed. 
I am not sure when exactly I will pop them, my next two grows are lined up quite tight but I didn't want to risk not having these 
Keen to see what I will be able to do with this 

Yeah, go easy on the ash (woodash only) as its very alkaline. 
Banana smoothies work well for me.
Blitz half to one banana per plant in a food processor (peels and all) with dechlorinated water. (I do banana, apple, comfrey, aloe vera and mix in a bit of carrot and potato peels) You can mix in some molasses 25 - 50ml as well.  Then dilute in 20lt water and feed your flowering plants. As an option you can add some organic flowering nutes as well. Just keep ratios and strength of the mix in mind.
Plain molasses in water also works well, it feeds the microbes, who in turn feed your plants.

Yeah that looks like they are fading to the finish.- which is very normal. Just remove the yellow and dying leaves.
Those ladies are very 'bushy', preventing decent air movement through the plant, that could possibly lead to conditions for PM, due to no air movement. Depending on your local weather conditions of course. Inland your RH would be lower than here by the coast.
I would have done a lekker defoliation before they go into flower. Just my 2c
Are you feeding them anything to fatten up?
 

Fade. Your plant is late in flower. It is normal
 

Looking gooooood!  Just clean the leaves the plants are giving up. And nice timing by the way  

These plants have been in flower since 13 December. I have noticed some of the lower leaves turning yellow, some dying.

Could this be fade or a nitrogen deficiency? Im growing in living soil so if its a deficiency, what could I use here?

The tallest is sour diesel, middle is GSC and the smaller one is a cannatonic cbd.

Hi, I'd say there's no harm in keeping her, unless you haven't got enough space. That being said, I am sure she will not deliver, what she would have delivered under normal circumstances.
I had a Gelato auto from fastbuds this year and I really looked forward to grow it as Prom recommended it. It broke soil surface without the two round leaves (forgot how they're called). They must have somehow broken off, while trying to reach the surface. That plant grew 2 cm in 4 weeks. Then I gave up on her.

I planted this Blow dream auto a week ago. The seedling had a bit of trouble getting rid of the seed but it eventually fell off. The day after the first leave and the one true leave fell off so I was wondering if I should keep it seeing as its an auto with limited veg time.

Thanks for this. Do you know what the microbe product from Jamie's Garden is called? 

Hi guys, I am about to transplant an outdoor plant into Jamie's Orgasoilux and I will update this thread with my findings and whether I experienced the same issues that some of you have had. 
 
One question, when some of you mention that you just feed it "microbes", what product is that? Apologies, I come from a coco/perlite substrate with ghe synthetic nutes. 

5 weeks.
Just a few more days to see sex. 1 confirmed female so far. Will have a little more space once the males are out. 

This is very very generous of you wow, well done man, we need more people like you in the world

I am certainly interested in growing some of this if its still possible. We made some medicinal oil with another cbd plant we grew and it has helped many people.

I actually told someone less than an hour ago I will try and find some of this for his girlfriend who is struggling with anxiety and I will pass some seeds off to him also.
