Week went by smoothly. Lapsed on Ftb treatments over the last months as working in a new space for flowering.
Got a light infestation of white flies. Back to spraying them every other day with FTB and the problem is waning away. Soon I will return to daily low concentration sprays as a preventative. The pest is isolate to 3 plants only, and had not spread before intervention to the last. You will see subtle signs of the damage the pest caused on some of the remaining fan leaves. Otherwise plant development has been chugging along. This is a medium-long flowering strain and can take upward to 10-12 weeks for full maturity. At week five I’m pleased with the overall setup of the budlets as they are slowly beginning to swell into nice little nugs! As with my past experience with Sherpa the plant never fails to bombard these mid flower sights with tons of trichome coverage. I’m hoping to see these buds really start to fill out over the next two weeks during early-peak flower. I did some light pruning, removing obstructive fan leaves and lower fans that are beginning to yellow. One of the 4 is lagging behind the rest in progress, yet is taller, and larger budded than the others.
you have plenty of choice my friend….but the best is to build correctly at start a good bareer with beneficials….i mean fungus helps ! some specific strains of trichoderma acting like mobiles nutrients goes trougth veins to leaves to protect again and infect pests…..as philindicus said….but to be really effective you have to respect a full approach of what you call organic/végans processes 😊….there is new produts in coming from the pro market as bio ceres WP for example but pricey….as said again by my friend 😙 neem oïl is also really effective but needed to be dilued with vegetal soap to be correctly used….but one of the best remains others beneficials insects….lady bug, beneficials mites against mist...etc etc
but all solutions must have been thought of….feel free i you want to do a trip in microscopic world….to take alook on my 2nd Week of my diary let mother do the job if you want to see how works benficials fungals . hope this helps in the future 👊
