Dinafem The green bandits dinafem story.

damn bugs.....I've been spraying with BT every few days but the catterpillers are persistent little bastards! Auto gorilla might be a right off, I think. Just about every bud has damage now.....real shame as she was a really nice plant! Will be building a shade house of some sort to help with temps and keep bugs out. The stunted cookies is startingto fatten up nicely ....I think another 10 days or so and she'll be done. If pillers stay persistent I will probably harvest her early as early bud is better than no bud! Th cookies in coco is going pretty well I think. Starting to show plenty of frost as she hhits bloom ...just hope I can keep the damn pillers out of her.

A lot of people think that outdoor growing is as easy as putting a seed into dirt/medium and then mother nature does her thing. This could not be further from the truth in my humble opinion

So many variables with outdoor growing with the pests just being one obstacle that the indoor grower rarely experiences

Is it just the caterpillars that's attacking mate? Or have you seen other critters around your ladies?

Auto Gorilla looks to be the most effected with the smaller Auto Cookies not looking to bad considering the pest issues

And the coco grown Auto Cookies also looks in pretty good shape. Let's see what mother nature has in store

Until next time

All the best

Thanks smokey....it's certainly looking like a bit of a tough outdoor season might be headed our way again ....at the moment I'd be glad to have a bit of humidity ....ahhh the joys of outdoor growing

Hello GreenBandit I agree buddy ! Outdoors so many pests and the weather whch we cant control. fungas gnats valley here, and your area seems to be pillar country. The poor girls with those pillars, Gorilla, a shame about her, she's very tall 3ft or so you said. Cookies is lovely thick and resinous:drool:. That's funny as my Seedstocker plant, Super Skunk, she has a few bits of her bud drop off, maybe its possible a pillar or something, so true the joys of outdoor growing in Australia with pests and weather against us !

Yeah Mark, just catterpillers the little fkrs burrow into the buds and eat them from the inside out ....I've had to pull the auto gorilla ....chopped the small cookies, was only about 80% cloudy but didn't wan't to risk losing her as well!....the cookies in coco is still powering along with maybe 2 or 3 weeks left to go.....going to build a shelter out of fly screen to keep the bugs out and cut down sun intensity a little bit .....as soon as I have it built I'll be dropping another auto gorrilla as I'm really disappointed I couldn't get her through to harvest ....your not wrong mate outdoor growing can be very challenging at times but very rewarding at the same time

Thanks for stopping by mate ....pillers are worse than I've ever seen before.....a little bit pissed at my self though as I should have built something a long time ago to keep the bugs out ...ahh well we live and learn I guess
