It's been another rainy week, but thankfully the canopy is holding. Since they are no longer being watered by Mother Nature, I've been giving them each 2 gallons of water every other day.
In my twice daily inspections, I've found a mealybug nest, loads of leafhoppers and a few random spots of WPM. I've been spraying twice a week with a mixture of Greencure, pure castile soap and Organocide 3-in-1 Garden spray. (See pictures above for labels) I have noticed a reduction in numbers. I will keep spraying 2x a week until I see buds forming. Then I will have to reevaluate. I’m still putting slug bait out every 3 days and still only seeing a couple here and there, but none on the plants.
All 4 are showing signs of beginning to stretch, the Blueberry most of all. The 2 primary branches had stretched almost a foot above the rest of the plant. I supercropped them and tied them to bamboo stakes. She recovered well within 24 hours.
Daylight hours were 15:06 at the beginning of the week and 14:55 today. Losing light quickly will hopefully kick everyone into flower!
Great Job!👍
I found when I cut the tips of the leaves off, they rooted alot quicker... stops them from trying to grow and focus on rooting.
Good luck with the outdoor!😀
@Crawlndog, Thank you 🙏
I’ll definitely keep that in mind next time! I take cuttings of every plant I grow, just in case, ya know? I’m always looking to try new things and that makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for stopping by!
