Learning a lot of little things recently, I brought a 3rd plant inside because its doing well, and I want to salvage as much as I can from trying to use the sunroom. I have also come to the conclusion that the sunroom is just not a viable option to grow cannabis in,but lots of other house plants like pothos and stuff love that room. 2 plants, 1 that I have left outside and was the smallest, and one that had always been the biggest are now in the roughest shape. The soil was the same brand name in all 4 pots but 2 different types of soil, the 2 doing well are in promix organic in the red bag, and the 2 not doing well are in the promix potting mix pink bag. I bought some cal-mag because that is what the issue seemed like to me and I have fed that, and just once a day when I check on things foliar spray to see if it helps, but i think its too far gone. I also changed it to a fabric pot 1 because its already not doing well, and because i wanted to make sure I wasn't over watering all the plants, so it was kind of a sacrifice, My watering seems to be fine only maybe the bottom inch or 2 was really damp, but not soaking wet. I will let he plant just sit and see what happens. Biggest plant ( top center of the pic) is Blue Mystic, and everyday I can see changes in it and the distance to the light changes everyday. I just keep tucking the huge leaves behind the new branches and they all seem to be sticking out now and growing. Bottom left got given as a free seed, but seems to be growing well with new shoots coming out everywhere, and also has huge leaves.

In picture 2 of my week 4 post, the plant has gotten very tiny white spots on the leaves, if anyone knows what this means and what action I should take to get rid of them if needed or what impending doom I am in for let me know. Thanks, Raaneal

Hi Raaneal, You almost definitely have thrips. Thrips suck the plants leaves, which can become spotted and lose colour like yours in pic 2. For a minor invasion, sticky traps are a good idea, layer them on the inside of your pot under your plants leaves and the thrips will get caught on them! You can also look with a microscope and manually remove them. A great option is to bring in natural predators. Ladybugs are amazing and love to eat thrips. They will also do no damage to your plants. The third option is using Neem oil. Neem oil is oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of the neem tree. It is used as a pesticide and is completely organic. It repels a lot of pests including Thrips. You will need to get something to mix the neem into the water as oil is not water soluble. You can buy the two together usually online, it is normally a safe liquid soap. Use sparingly and start slow as neem is strong and in my opinion is horrible smelling so do not get any on your fingers! Good luck and let us know what you decide to do! RIP Thrips!

Hey raaneal i see you mentioned wanting your buds to bulk up and that youve got just the phase 2 nutrient being ran. A relatively cheap and organic way to give em a boost is adding a teaspoon or more of molasses to each gallon of water. It provides a good source of much needed natural sugars for the roots to feed of and all the micro life in your base. Also being all natural it doesn't require as much flushing as other nutrients or bulking/sweetening supplements. Im using it now and its a great additive for those last few weeks of flowering. Best of luck. She looks good for a first grow. Well done, im sure youre gonna be satisfied no matter what. โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

Oh btw if your worrying about mites or thrips, buy some of those yellow sticky papers and place them both at the soil level(mites) and hang directly above the plant(thrips) if theyre present they will be spotted stuck to the little papers and youll know exactly what bugs you do, or dont have. If you can look up a podcast called kis organics science and cultivation podcast and listen to the bug lady episode, it has incredible amount of useful info.

@Experimentgreen, as far as i'm concerned it's us against the bugs , get em all and their unborns crush them

@Raaneal, that's awesome you were able to find another place for them. I had a similar problem with where my grow was, too many things interfering with the sun. The bugs i just saw in the comment section of your diary about the thrips, i didnt know if anyone had recommended the sticky papers. Too often we go crazy on a bug before we're positive of which bug it is...i know im very guilty of kill now ask questions later.

@Experimentgreen, the bugs were an issues a while back, but not now. I had originally planned on trying to use my sunroom as the grow space, but it kept getting too hot, no air flow and just not constant sun, so I moved them inside and started piecing together my grow tent. Once they were inside, I just visually inspected and killed the bugs, and eventually they just went away. I will take a look into the podcast though, always looking for something new to listen to on my commute. ๐Ÿ˜

@IndoorOrganix wrote โ€œ... Use sparingly and start slow as neem is strong and in my opinion is horrible smelling...โ€ AGREED!! Iโ€™ve smelled too much neem - now a whiff makes me nauseous. No wonder bugs hate it!! Coriander oil is less effective but repels bugs anyway, and it smells terrific! Make it strong

@growdoctordc, Neem is now one of my most hated smells! I will have to try the coriander oil next time if needed.

Nice grow! I would start giving them nutrients. Plus, your stems are small because they are streching. With a good light, like the one you get, will help your plants. When you will transplant, try to burry the stem so your plant will have a better support!

Hi bro , It could be thrips or red spiders under your leaves ! Neem oil is the best cheaper natural product against almost any bugs ! Think about it and good luck

Hi @Raaneal! You're having a thrips invasion, I think I can even see one of those bastards on your picture #2. They are tiny insects that suck the nutrients out or your leaves, they hide below the leaves and everywhere they can, and reproduce very quickly in hot environment. The best solution I found so far is using neem-oil mixed with water, and spray this foliar solution at night when the lights are off. Remember to spray above and below the leaves. Your local growshop or your local garden store should have pure neem-oil for you, you'll just have to mix a few drops with non-calcareous water (I usually use 10 to 15 drops for 1L of solution). Hope this helps, keeps us up-to-date, and happy growing ๐Ÿ‘Š

I think a lot of the issues your having are due to heat and the soil type, I would definitely recommend using coco,it works more like a hydroponic, very hard to overwater, doesnโ€™t store nutrients for as long so you can manage nute burns easier as well. I would definitely keep a fan blowing cool air just above them, I like to keep tempatures at a nice 25 degrees Celsius, anything more than 30 can be risky. Your plants are recovering nicely, keep giving nice amounts of calmag - remember itโ€™s called โ€œweedโ€ for a reason, you can be surprised how they bounce back ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š keep persistent, your doing a good job! โ˜บ๏ธ

@Larimar, They are in my sunroom and even with the windows open I dont think they get much of a breeze.I have bought a fan off amazon, and Im hoping that helps I will start leaving that on during the day. Sun they get all day long, in the morning its more indirect, but from 11am - 7pm I checked on it and where they are sitting it just beams on them, and then it starts setting and is indirect again until 9pm. Let me know what you think, maybe I should move 2/4 onto the back patio and see if they start progressing faster than the 2 that will be left in the sunroom?

@Larimar,Im not at home right now, but its like a 10x10 room, white ceiling, hardwood floors, walls are all sliding windows, it faces west, and I have the plants along the south wall. Windows are set about 2 ft. off the floor and go right to the ceiling, maybe I should put the plants on a table instead of the floor so that they are right in the windows instead of under them? Hope thats some kind of help if not I'll clean up my mess and take a photo when I get home LOL.

To your plants outside and why they are looking not so good. in the picture i vcan see that it was very hot. the leaves rolling up (tacoing). and if it is so hot the plants stop growing. and just survive the heat. wait for better conditions or put them in a place whith enough shadow.
