Blue Mystic - First Ever Grow

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. ✌️👍
