I got called in to work so uncle Pete showed up.
He's Not really my uncle but have been like family for 25 years. He is a real OG! Irish to the core.
Just as I was leaving a well dressed very polite and pretty woman in her mid 20's pulled up. She walked up smiling with a tablet in her hands. She introduced herself so I listened politely and made a little small talk. She was very happy to present the lords scripture to me.
Im not very religious myself...I did however attend sunday school/church and completed my communion etc. All when I was much younger. Anyways...
So as I kinda cut the conversation short...
She asked if she could come over sometime to hang out and go over some scripture?....Bill fricking behave 👼. Lol.
I work shift so it might be hard to line up. Phew!
I did talk crypto and quickly present Steemit to her. Then I wrote it down, and said check the platform out if you like it... join. Shes probably not going to be impressed with my posts. HaHaHa!. But maybe she will check Steemit out. Maybe even join and convert to a Steemian also.😉
Something about cute church chicks..gets me everytime.!
On to the renos. Pete came to help me finish grouting the floors. It took him 5 hours. Thanks Dude. You the man! Owe ya one.
When I got back and he was almost done.
tomorrow clean up, scrub, then finishing touches. Hopefully.
The boxes in the pic are the new cabinets, I am really pleased. I feel, I got a decent deal on them.
Self closing drawers and doors! Sooo cool. Just give them a lil push and they shut themselves. WOW!
One step at a time.
Then off to the landraces. Went back this time prepaired and just in time! Not a whole lot were left. Most had fell to the ground, ready for next year. Thats cool...
I did however retreive enough. Heres what The big fluffy skunk gave.
And the tight little pine...
Heres a pic of The "bane" to many outdoor growers
Greedy little grubs. With little info to be found. These buggers started showing up noticeably around 10-15 years ago🤔. This year is bad! hearing back from people all over.
I believe Eggs are planted by the parent flying insect in the spring...the eggs hatch into little flourecent orange or yellow grubs, feasting their way through the stem. Emurging through the dying rotten bud at the end of the season.
I dont know what happens from there?. I guess if left through the winter. The grub will transform to the flying insect by next spring?.
Also I have heard something like this was a major problem with corn crops until mass GMO was introduced.?
Thanks for stopping by. Have a good 1. Keep Steemin
OMG! Hahaha! ok maybe I don't need to take the lord's name in vain considering the way your post started out...
But HOW THE HELL DO I KNOW if these little worms are in the middle of my outdoor buds?
Will I know, or will it just be too late?
My indoor plants got hit with thrips this season. I hit them with a cinnamon solution and used diatomaceous earth, layered on my soil, just before flower.
It SUCKS! However...I have learned.

Pic1 notice the lump in the stem close to top node.
Tear it open look inside.
Another one!
Exit hole. One took a wrong turn. Lol
It damages xylem and phloem as the grub eats it's way through the centre of the stem. Reducing water nutrient and sugar uptake.
Cutting it off effectively removing from the plant is the best remedy if noticed late. You can pinch the lump and squish the grub also but at this stage of flower. The plant has less thime to heal...
Also the node below will continue to grow just fine.
Or leave it and the grub will continue to hinder development. Working its way through and coming out a bud!☹ killing part of the bud in the process.
You can see where it was layed. Close to my middle finger. See it left its refuse "tiny brown grainy substance". then worked its way the xylem. Living in the next node when found.

Thank you so much... I am going to be checking my plants as soon as I can open my eyes properly, beyond the 2 sativa slits that they currently are...
Now, Mr. @billmega... I kindly request that you take this wonderful teaching tool that you made to answer my desperate cry for help and turn it into a post of its own...
I appreciate your knowledge and I am grateful. ;)
