anyone tried the 'cannacure' leaf nutrient/pest spray?
Got a bottle coming,says it does the borg,but as long as it kills thrips at 20 paces I'll be happy.

I've always found scotts bug clear has worked on thrips, coupled with sticky paper. You can get bug clear in places like b&q

Not too put you off, but I once wasted about £60-£80 on cannacure once when battling thrips.
I found all it did was knock numbers down but I had them pretty bad.
In the end I won by introducing predators, so, be aware cannacure may not work alone if you have a heavy infestation.
You may have better luck than me and it may work, but be prepared to try other methods if not.
Mine were in flower when I tried cannacure, if you’re are in veg, you may do better, I find it’s easier to battle pests in veg.

I've used every method I can think of to manually remove the thrips,and have used predators myself.The spray is a last line of defence.I usually dip the entire plant upside-down in warm water with washing up liquid (ecover) several times vigorously to physically wash them off the leaf,and hope that any remaining soap/bubbles either dissolve them or stop them from being able to breathe.The affected plants are in veg but bloom last time was a battle between thrips and gnats.It's enough to make me want to stop using soil.

id try this

I might invest in something for first response. I never have stuff when I need it and hours are like days to these fuckers. Zero tolerance is my policy. No more "ah shit" then order something online that turns up a week later by which time the whole place is colonised. There was a leaf coat spray that worked really well years ago. Was made with starch pretty much i think. Plants were bulletproof after that went on but I haven't seen it for years. Im sure it was in a blue plastic tub. looked like wall paper paste and you added loads, maybe 20ml per litre. Other thing that worked well in the past was providing the pests preferred thing - lettuce in my recent case of moth larvae (i know weird right!) and predators as a last resort. That stuff in the bottle is a fungal disease thrips and others get killed of by in commercial settings but its natural so id use it. Theres also pheromone traps! theres ones for thrips halfway down this page http://www.fargro.co.uk/products/biologicalControl/traps.asp#thripline

I shall cut everything back to the lowest healthy node and treat them.
I have a good mind to boycott canna pro plus as every infestation I've ever had has come from their medium. Given my chaotic home and lifestyle I am amazed I haven't been beseiged more often over the years,but I have culled more than one grow midway through bloom for the sake of bugs.

Spinosad is the only thing that worked for me to totally wipe out thrips.Is hard to get hold of over here,had to get it from an Italian vendor even though it was discovered over here.

Get some harkas harka mectin from amazon, 5ml bottle for a tenner. Its used to kill mites on pigeons and birds but will kill mites, thrips and most other pests on canna, just be careful spraying it if you have dogs, as it can be dangerous to them.

It contains ivermectin, google it and you will see its used to kill most pests. Or search ivermectin cannabis and a thread will pop up here and on the other uk site.

Yes give the plants a good defoliation and trim back before you spray them down so there is less to spray.

I think the dilution rate is 1ml per L of water and the bottle costs a tenner.

If your growing organic then you might not want to use it but if you dont give a fuck and just want to get your stuff pest free then use it, it should work.

I got sent cuts that had mites a while back. Luckily i was able to get an old bottle of plat vitality that contains abamectin, part of the same family as ivermectin. The plant vitality killed everything. Ive only got a small bit of the PV left but if i ever have to use the last of it then it will be harkas all the way. Ive not used the harkas myself, but did enough research in to it a while back and im very confident it will work for you! I bought a bottle a while back but didnt need to use it, but im happy knowing its there if i need it.

I've used every method I can think of to manually remove the thrips,and have used predators myself.The spray is a last line of defence.I usually dip the entire plant upside-down in warm water with washing up liquid (ecover) several times vigorously to physically wash them off the leaf,and hope that any remaining soap/bubbles either dissolve them or stop them from being able to breathe.The affected plants are in veg but bloom last time was a battle between thrips and gnats.It's enough to make me want to stop using soil.

Reason they keep coming back is because your not killing the eggs. Spray them with the harkas then follow up again in around 5-7 days, i reckon after 2-3 applications they should be gone.

I use biobizz allmix myself, been using it for years and have never had any issues with bugs or pests from the soil, only from other people passing cuts with pests, or bringing them in on your clothes if your outside in the garden etc.

I looked in to using predators a while back but people said they take too long to get established. I have also used dr schimmels, both the thrip and mite spray along with another product called laminaid th for the thrips and a different product called green cleaner. Most of them are bollocks, the only thing that worked successfully was the plant vitality because of the abamectin that it contained. So im pretty positive the harkas should solve all your pest problems! Its definitely worth a shot for a tenner.

I've actually already got some spinosad someone gave me in a jar but I am not sure of the dosage, and I have harkers sat here as well. All the warnings have put me off ever using it. I'll try this cannacure and if I don't see a drastic improvement in 3 weeks I'll spray with something harsher before flowering.

I picked up buds today of Windows cut and Dogons cut. Id given them to a mate because I didn't have room to flower them at the time. I ran Birdmans cut. I have now smoked them all.

First let me say that what Im looking for and comparing to is a clone only strain that originated where I come from and grew up. We (everyone) knew and referred to it as "cheese" and it was in another league altogether as far as smell went. Light green buds with tangerine pistils and fox tailed buds. This was from 1998 to around 2006 for me then it seemed to disappear.

Windows - NOT cheese. Doesn't even smell anything like cheese.

Dogon - NOT cheese. Doesn't smell anything like cheese. Possibly very similar or same cut as Window.

Birdman - NOT cheese. Definitely a cross. It has some of the traits and the cheese smell but its watered down because that cheese smell doesn't translate to taste in the smoke - theres a familiar cheese like aroma to the bud but the smoke is nothing like cheese (its ok though). Closest yet but not cheese. Also, looks totally different to cheese.

Well that went well

Honestly, Ive had BB Blue cheese buds that were much closer to the cheese than any of these cuts. Loads more of the cheese full mouth taste. Fruitier was the only giveaway. It wasn't as smelly either but way smellier than GG#4 or any of these. Maybe it was a good selection.

Lets hope the Livers cut is legit and some consolation. Im running that and a few other cuts now. Ive never had it so I won't know if its the real deal from sheffield. Hope it is.

Cheese isn't in many hands but then, it never was imo. The name travelled a lot further than the cut did - thats crystal to me now. Only one of those few can ever bring it back for the rest of us.

This is exactly my conclusion I’m still waiting for JDs legit cut I know she’s the one for sure it’s just a matter of time I’m inching to get hold of her but can’t chase a man too much who doesn’t owe me anything just hoping someday soon I’ll get the thumbs up ....


P.s I wonder how Ric is haven’t heard from him in a while

First person on here who ever agreed (offered in fact) to share a cut with me still hasn't lol I know other people he's given it to since then so I suppose thats the way it goes - I must have rubbed him up the wrong way somehow (not that hard to imagine). People he's given it to have offered me it but I'm funny about stuff - I won't take it now cos it feels somehow tainted and ill gotten that way. The guy decided he didn't want me to have it, for whatever reason and on some level, that makes me not want it. The clones I've got I was given by people who reached out, shared the love of the plant and others who grow her, it felt like I was receiving something more than just genes. Im crazy though.. (clinically diagnosed) so keep that in mind with me

edit - just read that and just want to say, Im not doubting that it will come - EVERY other thing anyone has said they will send got sent and received. Even the guy I mentioned may yet come through - like u said, patience :)

NBE One !

Well that went well

That livers is real Spaventa.Honest,Came from Hemperor Originally. [Sheff' Native]

The real bscheese I had in 2010 left such an impression on me ... SOo SOooo Smelly.Didn't have a great Cheese Smell & Taste but belonged in the Cheese category for sure. Skunk is a Good name (-; . The One I Brought here Smells so Similar up Close .

' S2 ... " Wots that again " !!iii - ...Round n Round We Go !ii
(-:

The type of Odour is " Stand Alone " , Very Exclusive to that and undeniable if you are to experience again


Agreeing with macks Thesis bscheese x suic' cheese.& Visually s. Cheese dominant . just saying ," Depressing Cheese " sounds better /-;
...

To be continued. Gonna get ma 3 rd brew in a while , been 2 hrs on this swine.

Big kudos bud and sampling those would be good. Not allowed to give more rep.

Stone ,lazy tired I didn't experience with the earlier " before obtaining the plant(s) " sample just that great flavour (-: - that did transcend/translate to taste I m o , and had me go whuuHUU -n drive No matter what i grew after Experiencing The "2010 Bscheese" there wasnt one that came close to the Quality of STENCH i look for.Bm was the Closest
Since reading from here tho - I find that Totally is the case. " cus of that lazy de-motivating s,cheese in the genes I say.". Real BSC is paranoia giving. Keep that as " happy paranoia " and there's no prob. (-; makes your " thoughts "
Race .
Window bro ... Yours looks the part and if IS the Same type of smell as mine (as you say) then deffo is part bscheese

-
Apologises with the length o' text. Not needed. Keep spirits up n happy .Otherwise STOP reading.
-
Ahem btw. Sure the guy you talk of is back- Quick to say of where is but not of return. Likes too talk much, - just saying.
Place is a life saver remember ; ... Ul never be far away ,

Dude . :yes: . remember on ma first post here - u said " you took your time " ... Well Why- you ' took' your time in accepting friend Request. ????
Regardless of this VGood man, [as all] but Delusional ego isnt Bra,
