Day 49 since being cloned. The plant has continued with the weird mutation stuff, and if it wasn’t because of nutrients a bit of overnuting won’t help. But I see the plant coming around with water and time. Some more normalish leaves seem to be forming. I didn’t transplant this weekend like many others, maybe next weekend. I feel good about it and decided to defoliate a bit. I cleared out the dead growth, as well as the funky pointless stuff. A bit more airflow and distinct branching. The last couple pictures show the before and after.
@@Aiiogrow,yep. Just to be clear: its an ethyl group alcohol, just typical moonshine you make in a traditional still. Fractionally distilled to 90+% ABV.
It seems to have saturated and killed the mites with regular spraying, especially under the leaves. If it gets really wet it does need some air circulation/fan breeze. It doesn’t evaporate that fast that it can’t cause damage if soaked.
It does kill gnats on contact, but it seems to be more effective at discouraging them more than anything. That, combined with other measures, also worked with gnats. Like if you water and have flies that emerge, you can have the alcohol spray ready to fire. It will kill some, injure some, discourage some, etc.
It is a consumable though, I went through alot getting on top of all the problems. You have to be content making large quantities, which my source is.
@@BeanswithPork, Always nice work from you. Wish I had your green thumb, I fail at keeping my plants happy n healthy thru out the grow cycle every time I tried soil (perhaps it's the soil?).
@TheUsualSuspect, I noticed the soil matters, alot. A really light, good draining soil with small particle size is perfect. If it has mycorrhizae its a bonus (otherwise gotta add microlife). That has to be the bulk lest you risk poor drainage, too much nutrient, other problems. It also has to be available in bulk and affordable.
Sunshine Soil #4 or HP ProMix soil is reliable. Mostly peat moss and perlite.
