I started growing a few plants in my side gar- den this summer, but I just noticed some of those annoying little bastards fl ying around my front yard and in my house. Marij Mothra Dear Marij Mothra: Shhh. Do not speak their names out loud. I put those little demons up there with the bloody Mary, the Candyman and Voldemort. They took a little longer to descend upon Colorado this year, but miller moths (Shit. I said it, too. Run inside.) are back again, with a vengeance. Even though miller moths are annoying, you don’t need to worry about them doing much damage to your weed plants. But watch out for their younger form, the army cutworm. Although not the most common cannabis pest — and not nearly as damaging as grass- hoppers or spider mites — army cutworms live in Colorado and will defi nitely eat can- nabis plants, usually (but not always) before trichomes develop. What we’re talking about are caterpillars munching away on your pot plants, which is kinda funny to see on video but ultimately bad for the crop. There are a number of ways to defend your garden against these bugs in vegetative and fl owering stages, but read up before spraying anything. Dear Stoner: If Texas banned hemp products, would that have lead to more cannabis tour- ism in Colorado? Sweet Potato Dear Sweet Potato: For the uninitiated: Texas lawmakers passed a bill that would ban intoxi- cating hemp products, which are booming in Texas, but the governor vetoed it. If signed, Texas, like Colorado, would’ve banned all sales of THC products derived from hemp — but, unlike Colorado, Texas doesn’t have a licensed marijuana market to fall back on. Intoxicating hemp products can closely mirror licensed dispensary products in Colo- rado, and are essentially the same in some cases, but they’re also largely unregulated and untested. Still, the sweeping ban in Texas concerned members of the cannabis industry and medical marijuana community alike. If the bill were signed, southeastern Colorado dispensaries may have seen a small bump in sales, but with New Mexico’s market now online, there probably aren’t enough weed- hungry Texans to make a difference. Then again, everything is bigger in Texas. Herbert Fuego is the alias of a longtime West- word staffer. Send him questions through [email protected].
