if it was low n hovering be alarmed...if it was flying by don't panic.....iv had the chopper so close it blew 2 plants in tubs over the other year and no bust (surprising considering i mooned them)...but then i really don't care as i'm only growing for myself and the cops know it too.......C.I.D. visited once during that time and i was smoking a fatty when they turned up......luckily for a statment on a fatal accident...i stank o weed,the house did too...all the cop said was put it out til they leave and nice smell!!!!!!! good cops lmao but that was 3 or 4 years ago now

bastard catapillers in my green house. been looking for dam slugs all week thinking one of the fuckers got past me. and this morning i find a catapiller. any advice on how to get rid without spraying on shite chemicals ? or spending hours picking around the leaves

Just pick the caterpillars off by hand it's the best way, if they're still eggs then lift the leaves and you'll see a bunch of yellow looking goo just squash the little fuckers, I agree on the no chemicals part as well.

its the best way for caterpillocks....slugs n snails if you dont want to use chems is to put copper bands aroud the pots...they have a slight charge that slugs n snails hate...or good old beer traps...they get drunk and drown in beer

if you're staying in the green house put a perimeter of pellets or salt OUTSIDE the green house...no chems inside,dead slugs outside.....i'm still in favour of no chems though....i was a cheapskate and didn't buy the copper bands....i got some copper wire ,wrapped round pots and connected to AA battery.....didn't work either lmao,but garden centres/gardeners recommend the copper bands
