Grow Journal Conclusions:
- Good grow medium is a must. Check the grow medium for bugs carefully before using.
- First sign of bugs NEEM immediately and pay close attention for activity. Scratch at the surface to see if bugs are hiding. Incectasical soap really didnt work very well at all. Blue sticky traps worked very well. I did not try Neem, I should have!
- Keep nutrients low, try 1/2 recommended dose. Try to stay with the same brand name with all nutrients. Use mineral supplements, not just npk.
- Try Foliar spray on a weekly basis.
- Look carefully in detail at the plants color, texture, patterns, ect. Any slight change that looks unhealthy must be dealt with fast. I didnt pay close enough attention to the leaves brown spots and the damage went far beyond where I could have possibly controlled it.
- Garden with care but also allow for risks in order to gain more knowledge.
