Removed that terrible lst, thanks for letting me know! Haven't checked the pH of the soil but will get a pH meter before my next visit, plants have only been fed with 7ph spring water or rainwater. Noticing more bug bites this visit, not too sure what to do about it.
Spiders are good for your garden. They clean up all the bugs from your plants.
But if there are to many maybe it could turn into some issues I dont no man!
Keep growing 👍
I'm not too familiar with lst but based on lst technique I see being used in other diaries and looking at your plants it doesn't seem too early for lst.
Eghads, remove that 'lst' thing, that is not how you do it and that plant is not ready. You have to do it on branches, not the whole plant. I don't think your plant is getting enough light. I'm guessing the one with spots is probably some awful bugs, look under the leaf with a microscope. The healthy one should just be left alone, and try to get it more light. I think it might be too late to 'repair'.
Hey, I'm also growing autoflower blackberry gum outdoors. I'm in week 5 right now so you can check me out to compare your progress. I haven't used any boosters or nutrients until now but going to use a biotabs booster starting next week until 2 weeks before harvest. Good luck on your plants! Shall be following ur progress as well to learn more.
@BeefWellingtons is correct the proper way is branches, looking ok atm. You need to protect it against frost though, cant you build a some type of poly shelter for it out of clear plastic?
