Looks great. Mould and mildew are due to humidity so airflow is key to avoiding problems. Defoliation, or lolllypopping, the lower branches will help a lot. The lowest fan leaves are likely shaded and not contributing anyway, and lower small buds won’t mature without sunlight and become just popcorn buds that aren’t good for much. Defoliation directs the plants energy toward the bigger upper buds. The inner core also won’t produce much and thinning that out also improves airflow. Good luck.

They're look great so far, congrats. I like the bending clips, I should get some. Do you ever have problems with caterpillars and other bugs?

Chungacommenteda year ago

@DeWandelaar, good analogy - I'll buy some and hope most of them stick around.

@@Chunga, yeah I thought the same at first about the ladybugs but after having done this for 3 years now I really do see a difference with before. I can easily count up to 10 ladybugs at a time in my garden where I would be happy to spot 1 a few years ago. I guess they are just like ppl, some move away from the nest and explore the world while others stick behind and remain local peeps.

@DeWandelaar, great tips, thanks! I actually have a bunch of empty pots near the plants, I'll buy some friendly neighbors. I had thought of getting ladybugs but I figured they would just fly away. Good to know they really work! I do have some ladybugs already in my yard but not a lot and they're usually on the mimosa trees far from my plants. I'll try it out. I get spider mites, whiteflies, caterpillars, etc but have managed to mostly control them manually and with fly paper. But it requires a lot of attention. I'll try the ladybugs and neighbors. I'm in the southeast US and it's just super hot, muggy & buggy here 👍

Hola bro Ese tallo se ve curado No lo cubras más para que no se pudra La planta se acabará de curar sola!

nonick123commenteda year ago

@DeWandelaar, otro consejo es que la proxima vez lo cubras con esparadrapo de tela para tapar heridas en humanos ¿Por qué? Porque es transpirable, e igual que tú piel transpira, también lo hará el tronco de tu planta 😬

@nonick123, Hey man, Thanks for the advice. I wasn't sure if it was healed yet. I shall leave it uncovered from now. Thanks 😊
