-1/22/23 Start of Week
-Foreword Note: watering is being pushed back by two days so that it is being done on sundays and will remain that way until harvest.
-1/22/23 seen some aphids so sprayed with neem max at 1/2 tsp to 24 oz of water. Will spray again if they are still there tomorrow
-1/23/23 still seeing aphids so another spray of neem max was applied at 3/4 tsp to 24 oz of water. Will check for aphids again tomorrow.
-1/24/23 all the aphids I am finding are dead of dying, did not spray with neem max today. Will check again tomorrow.
-1/25/23 all the aphids that are remaining on the plant are dead, sprayed with water to try and wash of the dead aphids.
-1/26/23 sprayed with water in the morning and will spray again before lights out. No aphids at this point and hoping that they do not come back.
-1/28/23 defoliated upper and lower branches, also removed some secondary branches that were in bad locations. No aphids were seen, will check again every few days. Tomorrow starts 12/12 light/night cycle, also will be giving full watering with molasses.
-1/28/23 End of Week
@Tweezer, thanks. they came out okay, even if the experiment was found to be a failure. Still waiting for the lower calyxes to Finnish, but should get around a few ounces off this plant.
@AutoGOAT, so I had it sitting on the humidity cap because the bottom was messing with the wooded surface I had it on. When I did the last watering I didnt see that some of the water had drained into the cap that it was sitting on in the morning (I water at night before the lights turn off), during that next 18h it had started rooting out of the bottom. When I found what happened the roots were sitting in the water, but a hasty transplant looks like it saved its life. It's looking good now and I'll have new photos at the end of the week.
