After a week of being away it’s hard to train them. Main lines 10-15 centimeters above the net and some stems are too hard to be bent.
I don’t know how I will manage to keep their growth under control.
Nothing special in terms of nutrition:
OHN to protect them and water with FAA to keep the soil alive.
sweet, but in myopinion your plants are to close
i normally give my outdoor ladies 1-120 cm distance to each other
or you do some advanced training or scrog we will see- follw with interest
@Biotabs, they might be too close but i am not sure a training would fix this , because lst or scrog is taking more space horizontally. I was planning to do it, but then I decided to let them go upwards. Maybe when they pass their fence I would gently guide them out of the flowerbed. I would gladly take any advice. Should I transplant one of them?
Garlic spray is supposed to be good for most pests. Lactic Acid bacteria (LAB) can be used as a foliar spray to out-compete other micro-organisms and prevent bud rot. Easier than making LAB is just spraying plant with dilute milk solution, but I haven’t actually tried that yet. I also agree about using BT which works great on caterpillars. Main thing is get buds drying off after rains. Better luck next time.
well, in my opinion using BT is not for outdoor use, because it is poisoning birds and bats, that eat the poisoned insect too
and all the other insects gt a portion of the poison
and there is an aquatic toxicity too, when the bacterias are washed into the envoirement
greetings
@Biotabs,
As I know BT has a lot of specimens and one is only dangerous on a very few species. That’s why they use it as a biological defense against mosquitoes in a huge scale, as well.
The one I use (bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki) it is against caterpillars, no other thing is harmed by it. On the package it also says: it has no effect on the aquatic life either.
By the way : today it turned out that Fusarium is my enemy this year. So my plants are doomed :(.
