Few plants are flowering and they need more phosphorus for bigger buds so I bought myself some Gaia Green power bloom that has an n-p-k ratio of 2-8-4. Says to use as top dressing and mix in 1 tbsp per 4 liters of growing medium, and apply once a month or as desired. has anyone used this before...

So the pepper spray is working but I had to give the girl a good haircut to help with the spider mite infestation. Doing daily sprays and it seem to be working. It's not a one hit fix for sure.

Yes, I read somewhere else that they used 50% water and 50% dish soap and sprayed their plants with that. Bunch of different ways to get rid of them.

Thanks Bacala. I went to the greenhouse today to see if they had neem or spinosad, and nope they didn't. Had to get on the problem asap so the pepper spray was handy as I have a bunch of cayennes from last year.

So far so good. My pepper spray is killing the spider mites. Gonna do another application tomorrow as well. I am strictly organic so that is why I decided to go homemade pepper spray.

I'm brewing up a batch of pepper spray made from 10 cayenne peppers and a liter of water. Will let you know how it works out.

Thanks for all the help guys. So here is what I found this morning. Looks like spider mites and not thrips. How many do you see?

There you go MoMoGrows.

Here's a pic of what I found. Guessin that's a thrip. Would neem oil cure these? I read that spinosad works really good. Plant is probably 3 weeks into flower.

Got this plant growin and its a few weeks into flowering. Leaves are lookin a little suspect and I can't find any info on what it may be. Been feeding her alfalfa tea once every 10 days and 1 gallon water daily. Gonna feed with banana peel molasses tea today. Any ideas?

That's awesome. Looking forward to next years grow and picking out the female seeds again.

Have you guys tried it?

Morning everyone, So a while back I saw this video on you tube that said you can sex your seeds. Watched it and went through my seeds and picked out a couple. Only a couple cause I already had a bunch of plants started. Yesterday I confirmed the second plant as a very lovely female. So 2 for 2...

I had the plant inside and it started to flower. Then when the weather got warm enough I put it outside and some of the lower branches started to reveg.

Yes, the main part started to bud a few weeks ago and there are a few branches that are reveging. Those leaves came off the main part.

So a few of my girls are looking a bit off today. It's been really hot lately. Could it be heat stress?

Thanks YesMamNoSir, Little strong indeed hey. Oh well. Cool story about your Mom. Just purchased a 50 pound bag of organic non gmo alfalfa pellets. Guess they will be around for a while. Gonna aerate next time Is the foliar that beneficial? I've heard about it but never done it.

Forgot to add that I put about 10 cups of alfalfa pellets and 2 cups kelp meal in the 5 gallon bucket. To much?

Thanks. I added some kelp meal and alfalfa pellets to 5 gallons rainwater and stirred a few times over a 36 hour time frame. Then I made sure the solution was mixed well and cut 1/3 mixture to 2/3 rainwater, to make up a gallon, and watered my plants with it. Is it better to aerate the mixture...

Thanks YesMamNoSir. I just went and picked up some Gaia Green organic kelp meal 1-0-3, and some Gaia green organic bat guano 10-3-1. My alfalfa tea is made by putting about an 1 1/2" rehydrated alfalfa pellets in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and filling it with water and stirring for a...
