Day 24 - finally figured out what is murdering the forgotten strawberries. Leaf Hoppers. Got some neem on the way so hopefully it will be a thing of the past very shortly. Managed to kill two of them and didn't see any others, but there are a lot of places to hide in the big greenhouse. In general everything is pretty stunted from the lack of light so far. Too many rainy, overcast days. I'm interested to see what the impact is overall though. I'm worried for the forgotten strawberries & to a lesser extent the animal mints & AK which have also both been impacted.
Even with the severe miner damage (to the point where it was topped at the second node, yikes) the forgotten strawberries seems to be a bigger plant than animal mints. Genetics are definitely king when it comes to autos, this will likely be the last crap king seeds plant I grow.
Grab a bottle of bbg (bug b gon) and spray the living shit out of your location before those buds get any bigger or devolope anymore then they are mate! You won't regret it and it should take care of any issues you may have !!!! Goodluck happy growing. Excited to see this one through I will be following
@@Billyandbarb, totally forgot to mention it but everything got sprayed with neem & BT this week for pest control. Haven't seen any caterpillars and there aren't many signs of leaf hoppers anymore but I have seen a bit of leaf miner activity. Plants seem to not mind the minor bits of damage here or there.
@CalyxHunter, DE could work in theory, but having to reapply every time I water makes it a giant pain, especially since I have all my vegetables in here as well. Ladybugs won't touch leafhoppers either. My best bet is to get some mantises in here (two types live in my garden already) but it's hard keeping them confined when the greenhouse doors are open during the day and only close in the evenings.
