Cosmos F1 April 2024

The growth has been impressive and the lady has entered the pre-flowering phase. Also, I really like the structure of the Cosmos F1. It already now has many flower stems which will later form a flower roof without much training. This looks like an epic harvest for an autoflower. These F1 strains rock! The plant is outside or in the greenhouse depending on the weather. On the downside, I had to fight a major attack by thrips and gnats. I manually treated every leaf and flower stem by rubbing of the insects and spraying them with CannaCure from every side. Also I applied nematodes to the substrate. The lady looks much better now, but the insects had already damaged a few leafs and flower stems in the upper part. This will not be a big problem going forward, but I learned an important lesson: Every day counts when these little devils attack your precious lady.
