Your plants look great.  Nice and big.

I am unable to grow plants outdoor in my area in permanent plots.  Bud worms are laid at night, so I always had to plant in pots and bring the plants indoor before sunset.  Good luck with the grow.

Thanks Dipole

I am winging it here don’t know much about outdoor and have problem finding answers to questions for my specific zone but seem to be on track with some YouTube growers and their outdoor plants so I am hopeful but nervous as hell for flower as I dislike the unknown but to the best of my knowledge they are healthy, maybe a little hungry, going into stretch and pre flower and that’s a big goal hopefully the diversity of my garden will be a beneficial not an attractor of pests need to get some deer prentice measures up I have seen their poop droppings near and we about to stank!

I grow outdoors every year, although not as many plants as in years past.

Budworms can be a devastating problem for sure where I am in zone 9, but I have found that if I spray with Thuricide BT every 12 days once the plants start to flower, it keeps the budworms from getting started.

The product is a biological that is not toxic. It stops caterpillars from being able to grow and they die. Works great on tomatoes as well for horn worms.

 

Your plants look great !

Ok good info that lead me to reading more I have a feeling I have some beginning signs on the green crack and the vibe shift the twisted or clumped leaves of growing tips description I have seen 2 times now not several at all but I believe from the descriptions this is the likely cause also seems to be soil born for future generations I have been dropping the leaves that I have pruned

I am gonna get some mustard seed meal and dust the soil surface after I pull back the current mulch layers then I will re mulch after I do a little feedinng /top dressing

I have a EM5 spray from build a soil I got to start a ipm regime on the indoor garden I will start with this on the outdoor plants and get the recommended product to start a cycle of spraying

I had purchased some lacewings, online supplier, but got hit with a HUGE shipping cost because I did not pay attention to the shipping fee it was also in the heat wave we had and the shipment to my place out in the country seems to be a challenge in general I don’t think I got anything out of that purchase but maybe I did I had been noticing 1 or 2 lady bugs (not the Japanese Beatles) near the growing tops so hopefully they are helping in the clean up

The peanut butter plants have not seemed to have this problem

I will take a look at driveway dog and update her thread I saw a ladybug on her this morning
