Outdoor LST w/ Pics come look

[Kole477]

ok so i went back to my spot today a week later (kinda forgot about it for a while) and i come back to some really really bad bug damage. i don't know if its caterpillars or slugs but they left poop on the leafs i hope someone can identify it.

im going to get a shitload of salt and dump it around my plants for the slugs.

heres some pictures, any comments or feedback is appreciated

wow this is so cool... I noticed that this is from 2006, were your plants a success? If they were, were the pesticides effective? How did you make them?

[cupcheck]

2008 avatarjo, maybe you noticed his "join" date of 2006??

anyways, nice work on that LST Kole, the plant is doing just what it should. as far as the bugs i have no idea, just wanted to comment on the fine LST work you have done so far, keep it up!

[Kole477]

thanks cupcheck, but i noticed that since i didnt go back for a week the bigger plant just kinda grew upward and it took the hooks out with it LOL they're dangling from the plant ahha. i don't know weather to try to lst it more or let it grow. the other one is staying low with LST.

can someone asnwer me this- If i do decide to Put more hooks on my plants do i have to make them longer so the leafs of the plant dont touch the dirt? could i cut the leafs that do touch the dirt? i've heard of mold from that.

please comment !

EDIT- and can anyone identify the poop??? i need to kill those mother fuckers

alright so i just went back to my spot. bug damage is really bad i hate to see my babies like this it just makes me so f'ing madd

i used 2 sysco salt things that i stole from work, dumped 1 canister around each plant

i dont know what the shit on my plants is from, im going to google it right now
type in snail shit and caterpillar shit see what comes up

anyone reading this think if i get more pesticide that i can get buds from these plants???

any feedback is appreciated

i saw in another thread on here someone put a copper wire around his plants at the base and it suposivly keeps snails off..

I don't grow but I do my research, and I kknow that putting copper pennies around the bottom of your stem this will keep the snails off.

thanks guys but i dont think its snails, the poop doesnt look like snail shit so idk. caterpillars are more likely. i need to get a good pesticide been looking at neem oil anyone know how much it goes for?

Pennies havent been made of copper for like 50 years. You can get a 8oz bottle of Dyna-Grow Neem oil for like $10, it will last you until the end of next season most likely.

just looked at them and they are doing so much better with the salt around them

heres some pics from a few days ago, im going to head back soon and take more.

[Kole477]

Alright heres the plants as of this day.. they are looking good in my opinion

i can't wait to find out if one is female so i can look forward to some buddd

THe salt did the trick for getting rid of the slug problem. now mostly healthy green leaves not eaten up ones

so far i spent 10 dollars on pots and im pretty happy with my progress : )

I have my 2 main plants that were originally LST, but one grew out of it. and the other one is hard to maintain because i can't go back there every day.. but you can see that its sort of LST.

any comments are appreciated

Nice Plants man, hopin i can get that next year

[Kole477]

so i added 4 more plants to my spot, now i have a small plantation to look over

heres what they look like, one is really big and bushy and some are just tall with no branches


THe last picture is the one that is LST. I switched over to using string because it holds better and rust wont form on it like the clotheshangers. I have a question for someone though, if the string is tight around the stem will it restrict growth at all..?
just something that popped into my head.
