a nice outdoor garden! i love outdoor plants, cant wait to see the buds that these plants produce. Ive noticed though that corn can hide it the first couple months but at the end of flowering they are still very green and everything around them is dying off!!
i had the same problem awhile back with the caterpillars the moths lay there eggs near the nodes and they like suck the nutes right outta that section, and anything above that part starts to die!! i used a pair of needle nose pliers and a toothpick to extract the pest, then sprayed some organic pesticide on the underside of the leaves.this was for tomato's and is safe the day after use, to eat the fruit so i figure it'd be the same for pot and it worked out.
since your plant it so massive it may take much more time to find these spots, sometimes ladybugs work to get rid of pest!! i have about a million flying around in my grow room( aggressive lil bastard!) not to sure where they came from but i don't mind cause they help control pest problems so I've been told.
the plant in general is looking healthy and looks like your gunna get some sweet buds!!

I'll have to give an organic pesticide on monday I don't want it getting any worse if they are gonna leech off my plant. Do you know if the organic pesticides will effect the PH of the soil, I'm sure I'll have to use quite a bit for the whole plant. I'm not sure if ladybugs eat moths as well as aphids but I don't think they'll work to great outdoors, they'd be gone within 30 seconds.
I have a real bad feeling that if I let it continue this thread will end up like that other one with caterpilars eating through his bud.
I'm not to sure if it would or not my guess is though it would make the soil acidic when it leaves the plant though the roots. i didn't water it with mine, i just sprayed it on the bottom of the leaves and watered normally. it didn't seems to change the soil to much since it was outdoors and on a much smaller indica plant!
you don't want to spray much on though just spray on the effected areas!! to much and the plant may wilt or even worse die!!
