Day 63 since being cloned. The spider mite spray seemed to have worked as I continue to take off damage and old vegetation. Sustained new growth is there. Finally, we will see what is actually up with BubbleGum! For so long the growth was sapped without me realizing.
So I can be clear message me if you want clarification on the spider mite spray. The solution is not accessible for everyone.
Now its just a waiting game for this plant to recover and start making some big jumps. It has other plants to catch! For now, it gets the corner of the tent, barely any room. The mite infested thing deserves it! Haha. Just water by the way.
@@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.
