I'm spent from filling holes and transplanting. I still gotta start my new pile of soil cookin this weekend for the next batch. Gonna be a loooong season. I just cant wait to cut some plants down and get them the fuck out of my patio greenhouse lol. So many plants so little time.

These fuckers deciding to autoflower on me. They will make some cute presents for my sister and wife.

Hopefully I can get some explosive growth this month. I accidentally snapped a branch almost clean off of one of my seahash plants. I justcross tied that cola to the other one. It seems to be fine for now.

Not sure. I have always used neem as a peventative but got lazy this year and BAM! They caught me slippin. I have neem oil and some Captain Jacks Dead Bug Brew spinosad. I will hit them with the captain jacks first and then treat with neem oil every 3 days. Should be 7-8 treatments.

For sure. I am going to ad some mo nce I am done spraying. I found some on a few flowering plants too right now upon inspection. It's on now. And they are the two-spotted spider mites. Bullshit. They are only half way through flower so hopefully I can eradicate them before harvest. Aint tryna smoke no damn spider mites.

Eek.. I'd be leery about using anything harsh on the flowering plants. Hopefully you can get them with minimal damage to the crop.

So should lady bugs only be put on the plant when u can visibly see the mites ?

I would suspect that if you cant see them u don't have them.... As far as spider mites go!! But if you happen to have root aphids the lady bugs can definitely eat and you might not be able to see them....As a precaution I use lady bugs and praying mantis Every year..
