Pests/Diseases in Sth east QLD?

Gday Queensland, just wondering what (besides the obvious snails, slugs, roos, wallabies) problems we get here? Any one ever see any spider mites, bud worms, that sort of thing?

Never had big issues with any pests like those outdoors here tbh. The plants tend to get big fast here so they can handle being munched a bit… Skippies can fk things right up though :slight_smile: Bud rot on the other hand can be a problem here because feb/march are right about harvest time and is also when we have the most rain and humidity.

Bud Rot is a big deal on my side towards the end of season as well
bugs , hmmm not so much , slugs n snails are a hassle during the early stage but once the plants get some size to them its all good - grasshoppers also sometimes have a chew , but as I said if you got some size on the girls then they tend to make it through ok
its the big things living in the bush that mess things up alot , Skippies and their rabbit mates can destroy everything super fast

Righto, thanks guys. Got a couple of pure sativas from the Himalaya region that apparently is very hardy, and can handle intense rain, cold and humidity. I’ll focus on the critters.

Thanks. I suspected that but I was concerned that it might come up as a Final Jeopardy answer.

Wouldn’t want to piss off, Alex.

My worst bug problem this year is grasshoppers but they can’t compete with the amount of growth and there must be a wallaby of some kind eating leaves on one of my plants and splitting the branches from the stem.
