This will cure your insect problem. I spray my plants and surrounding vegetation before flower, once flowering starts, I only spray surrounding vegetation. I dont spray at all in the last month.

Bifen IT with Bifenthrin 7.9% is a flowable multi-purpose insecticide. Bifen IT has a long residual control with a product label of over 75 insects. This broad label on Bifen IT includes turf and ornamental applications, food handling applications, indoor and outdoor applications, and termite treatments. Bifen IT is a synthetic pyrethroid and a low odor chemical.

Hopefully, I'm pretty sure shock has a lingering effect though, as in if a plant suffers sever shock and is stunted, it's kind of gimped for life If the shock is severe enough. I could be very wrong about that though.

im sure it does bc i have always noticed once a plant gets stunted it takes ages for it to even get back on track and not at full potential as it was before the accident. im just glad it survived though bc when i went there i couldnt find the plant got to digging in the soil and it was buried alive lol it couldnt have been like that for long though bc the leaves didnt even wilt. hows the temps down ur way? its fkn hot and humid here! mid 90s tomorrow with 100% humidity

it may cure my insect problems but it may expose me to a ton of other shit..there is no way in hell i would ever use this stuff man! i wouldnt even use it on my veggie garden, especially if i plan to smoke the product. i know for a fact that neem oil works and works very well and its alot safer.i would highly advise u to look for safer control products... here is some facts to ponder over with the product u mention:

Signs of Toxicity - Humans
• Paresthesia was the most commonly reported symptom from dermal exposure in occupational studies involving pyrethroids.
Skin sensations were characterized as tingling, itching, burning, and numbness of the skin after dermal exposure.
The paresthesia was reported to be temporary and reversible in a period of hours, sometimes lasting up to 48 hours.15
• Paresthesia is typically reported only at the site of dermal exposure and is not associated with systemic intoxication.15
• Respiratory and nasal irritation may be caused by the inhalation of aerosol droplets or dust of pyrethroids.7
Ingestion of pyrethroids may cause a sore throat, nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting almost immediately after ingestion.
Other reported symptoms included increased oral secretions, ulcerations in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, headache,
dizziness and fatigue. Symptoms less frequently reported include blurred vision, heart palpitations and tightness in
the chest.7

• Always follow label instructions and take steps to avoid exposure. If any exposures occur, be sure to follow the First Aid instructions
on the product label carefully. For additional treatment advice, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-
1222. If you wish to discuss an incident with the National Pesticide Information Center, please call 1-800-858-7378.

Humans
• The U.S. EPA classified bifenthrin as a Category C, possible human carcinogen. This rating is based on an increased rate of
urinary bladder tumors in mice, adenoma and adenocarcinoma of the liver in male mice, and bronchioalveolar adenomas
and adenocarcinomas of the lung in some female mice.24 See the text box on Cancer.

Environmental Fate:
Soil

• The aerobic half-life of bifenthrin in soil ranges from 97-250 days, depending on soil type.5
See the text box on Half-life
(page 7).
• The soil half-life of bifenthrin ranged from 106 to 147 days when the soil was exposed to sunlight.5
• In field dissipation studies, bifenthrin half-lives ranged from 122 to 345 days in a variety of soils.4

After a bunch of storms, I made it back out to feed the girls. Holy shit they're taking off.

In this pic the top of the pic is roughly the top of the surrounding vegetation. These girls are going to outgrow the surrounding vegetation for sure. I may have to tie them down.

Found this little bastard on one of my plants. Sprayed with the Karanja oil and washed it away.

Couple more pics from plot 1:

Here is the double planted hole:

The girl who made a solid recovery from insect damage. You can tell they went a week since last feeding in this pic though:

And can anyone ID this dookie? Never seen a deer dump this big (the picture doesn't do it justice, it was much bigger than it appears):

Plot 2:

Double planted hole:

I was going to leave the wire up to support the smaller plant (as it is topped down near the base) but I just took it off. We'll see what happens.

The rest are all Spontanica, which have very nice form! Typical of KC genetics.

It's POSSIBLE that an elk is in the area, but that's a pretty rare thing around these parts.

It'll be about a month or so before I start seeing flowers. Right around then is when the stretch is going to hit too, and Special Queen is a pretty stretchy strain. Hopefully everything else continues to grow in too.

I agree could be bear, hard to tell from pic. Check for tracks in the area. Bear prints look a lot like a barefoot human footprint only larger.
Very nice growth since last pics. Keep up the good work.
Peace GG

I think Bear because there was a lot of it, kinda like a walking dump like a dog does. Also no fucking way a stray cow was in the area, but bear is a definite possibility.

The pics are a week apart, and the weather was pretty shitty. I'm expecting these things to be huge; Jack's ferts are the shit.

yea im gonna be watching the special queen closely since u said it was a great guerilla strain. i may be adding that to my 2016 list of new genetics. for 2016 right now what i have is blue hash plant & blue widow,cheese candy,Hso green crack, Ghs trainwreck or Hso trainwreck,swiss cheese and Belladonna. i already know i will be growing Delahaze,Jacky white,the church, and biddy early again bc i have a couple packs of them still lol 2 of the churchs i have right now has got limbs all over them and i havent even started to super crop it yet. i think it will be a huge producer. i just hope its as mold resistant and the reports i have read on it.

i bet u dont even PH test do u LOL? i always laugh when i see ppl in these forums say ur ph is off check PH. i have honestly never checked my soil ph,water or nutrient solution ph that im giving my plants and ive never really had issues that caused me to take much notice.

Looking great in the woods there. Bifenthrin is some really good shit. I'm going to store today as a last resort for these four lined plant bugs dealing with. Nothing else kills them. Apparently the chemical is super toxic to pollinators . Spray directly in and limit contact to flowers in proximity. Love our lil' hover flies, honey, bumbles, butterflies, and bats.

Good luck to you

GL with the bugs, I had some leaf hoppers that were eating the hell out of a few plants last year. I tried sevin and it didnt help much, or wore off too quickly. Bifen saved them, but like I stated above, dont spray directly once plants start to flower.... You can still spray surrounding vegetation tho and it will be reasonably effective, as most pest insects travel primarily by crawling around.

Nah I don't. However, I do have a kit. I might test once down the road because apparently flower nutrients lower it, but in the end what am I really gonna do about it?

All holes have pulverized lime in them, but it's not like I can add more and raise the ph in a day. I'll check it though down the road, maybe get some ph up.

Can't say enough about Jack's ferts though. These holes are all native soil, amended with ONLY perlite and pulverized lime. The rapid growth that is only beginning to show (and it's only going to get faster) is due to Jack's . Like I said, even the weather has been shitty.

Best part about Jack's is how hard it is to burn plants. It would take a ridiculous amount of overfeeding with Jack's to accumulate a salt buildup. I'm already giving them a little more than a full dose a little more often than is recommended and these ladies are asking for more.

As far as bugs go, they leave most of my plants alone. Seems like they always wanna gangbang one or two, though.

That's why I grow hardy strains. If they can survive the bug bites from June through mid July, they're in the clear. I'd rather lose a little growth than spray with some heavy duty pesticides though. I've done it in the past, but who knows what these things really do?

I've never lost a plant to bugs, (although they love to pick one or two Green Poisons to gangbang early on), so I guess I'd rather have the piece of mind knowing that there's (to my knowledge) no DDT -esque shit in my plants that I could be smoking.

ya man that Jacks has ur plants looking really good right now...im having relly good results right now with GH maxi series only additives im using is B-52...i got this shit cheap from Ebay. i got 4.4lb of each the mxi gro & mxibloom for 30$ shipped.. im gonna be going this evening to hit my plants with a 4 hit combo of SAR inducer. i got insect frass for the chitosan,aloe vera for the Salycilic Acid,B-52 for the B-1 thiamine and Regalia. i will do this combo ever 15 days in veg and then once flowering starts i will start it ever 7-10 days and hopefully i will have less then -5% bud rot loss's. i got some pretty hardy plants this year though so rot shouldnt be to much of a issue but still want to be on the safe side of things.

I'm mixing my horsetail spray tonight. This is gonna be a busy week - I'm burying the bottles to "direct-inject" water a few inches below the surface of the soil to the roots. Gotta limit my water hauling. I don't plan on visiting each plot more than once a week unless absolutely necessary. Stealth is THE top priority.

I'm also going to juice up the surrounding vegetation.
