The Fruity Donutz have finally stopped stretching and are now fully growing their buds. The two plants are two very different phenos where one is turning into a beautiful purple lady. The ladies are very thirsty and I water them two times per day just to keep up. Overall they look very healty and the buds are developing fast. Can't wait to see how they grow this week!
๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ Mid-week update
Because this strain only has 8 to 9 weeks from seed to harvest I started with a little bit of Green Sensation already to support the blooming. The two plants are developing quite differently. The plant in the back is producing lots of trichomes, even covering the smaller fan leafs as well as the sugar leafs. It would be cool to have leafs with thick resin trails at the end f this grow โ๏ธ. The plant in the front doesn't produce that much trichomes just yet, but it has beautiful purple buds and sugar leafs. Even though they're very different in appearance, they are both beautiful.
The smell is getting stronger by the day and *spoiler alert* it's damn fruity ๐ !
Itยดs not only about sticking-traps . You need to eliminate all the larvae , cause they are the problem . Just use some nematodes , itยดll work quickly and safe ! Good luck , Growmie
@Zengrower, welcome , buddy !! Yeah , i tried mites just once , as i found nematodes to be the terminal solution ๐๐๐๐ . And yeah , most times itยดs much more than expected . The yellow stick-traps are mostly for controll of infestation and also to catch the adult gnats ( black fungus gnats / bot. Sciara analis) , but dem larvae are (imo) only really affected by nematodes (you could also use Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis , but more as prevention) . So if you have many adul gnats , there are a bunch more larvae . Also you should watch your watering , as too humid substrate will get all those gnats round you attracted ๐ณ
Edit : those yellow stick-traps loock quite full ๐ if you calculate 1 female gnat will lay up to 200 eggs , you might get a clue of how many of the larvea are feasting on your plantยดs roots (as the larvae normally eat fungi (those fungi helping your plant to live , and as there are not many of those fungi in a pot , as you can imagine , theyยดll switch to roots )๐ป
Yeah lots of cheap soil comes with pests(eggs, larv, ).. i always had to use nematodes to kill em, Canna terra proffesional plus is great soil, without pest so i never have to use thise nematodes again .. (but yeah, always keep using those sticky traps .. those bastards will always be there just have to keep it under controllโ)
.. But i dont think those yellow leaves is bc of lack of nutes btw.. i think she doent need some yet! she got enough! Good luck ๐ฝ
@Hologram, thanks Hologram โ๏ธ Yeah I didn't have pests before when using Biobizz and Plagron soil as well. What do you think could be the cause of the yellow leafs?
