Jack is looking really nice now, with deep red hairs appearing, and buds fattening up again. I noticed the leaves had burns on the very tips of them so I backed of nutrient and just fed rain water for a while. This seems to have had a positive effect, I feel the plant has matured and thickened up more this week than recent weeks. Jack definitely looks like it’s gonna be sensational.
Hi,
I believe we are in the same area. Have you notice these tiny black bugs that can fly. They look like beatles. My plant look fine. I used Eco Oil from bunnines. But the little bastartds keep coming back at night.
@Shooey, thanks. I will consider repotting. Issue is my plant is so big now in veg state 1 meter. LOL. They are not doing damage, i look everywhere. But they are annoying the hell out of me. Plus side, I see lady bugs running around on the plant. So i guess they are keeping them under control. Seen 3 lady bugs and a few smaller ones.
@Med_in_Tropic,thanks med as always. I had a search of this product. It looks really good, an organic fungus which infects insects. I might try and find some as I have small grasshoppers in the herb garden and wasn’t sure what to try, this looks ideal. Much appreciated med👍
@Shooey, I also use soil microbes that infect insects. The scientific name is Beauvaria bassiana. Brand name varies from one region to another. Basically mix with water and douse the soil with it. For thrips, aphids, and mites you will need to spray.
Cheers guys
@Shooey, safety first. I agree.
But about cloning, it is easy. Cut lower branches. Stick in soil. Cover with clear plastic cup or bottles for a couple of weeks. 2/3 of the branches would survive.
Much easier than other plants. Really, the only thing that I find easy about growing weed.
I still grow from seeds because I am still new at this. And I want to try different strains.
Cheers
@Med_in_Tropic, hi Med,, no I have not tried this yet. I don’t know much about how this is done but it is a good topic for future research and trial. I’m in Australia so I am trying to keep a maximum of 2 grows at any one time. Although it’s not legal where I am, we have just made it legal in Canberra, so I figure if things go bad (cops) I may be able to argue “personal use” more easily. This is my fist go at growing so I’m still a bit paranoid about getting sprung,,,, all the best bro
