The growth has been good. However, #1 is developping better than #2; the reason might be that only #1 has Plagron Royal Mix, whereas #2 has a mixed substrate from last year; I will add Plagrom Grow in the next days. #1 responds very well to LST; #2 receives no LST. The plants are outside or in the greenhouse depending on the weather.
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 ladies look much happier now. 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 ladies.
