I tried LST in week 3 but did it wrong. I also accidentally pulled off a new leaf during week 2. My newbie mistakes have slowed the grow, but we all have to learn somehow! I have a dehumidifier running as the climate is quite humid at the moment. The new stalks are purpling up! Watering twice a day as they're thirsty girls in small pots :)

I moved the babes outside, one (his name is Isaac) at the start of week 5 and the other one (named Eoghan) today at the end of week 5. Isaac saw a HUGE burst in growth even though he was initially the runt. Isaac is doing well aside from some slug issues, which were fixed with copper wire, he was transplanted from the 1L pot straight into a hole in the ground. Eoghan's lowest leaves are yellowing and crisping up but I think that was due to lack of light so he's outdoors now too. Eoghan is showing his first pistils! They're covered for now as it will be 1°C tonight. They're in a discrete spot of private land but are about 3 metres from the road, so let's see how smell progresses!

Not supervising them very much. Visiting them 2 or 3 times a week. Watering about once per week as soil is quite wet here. Found some pests had eaten off one leaf, not a big deal. Gale force winds tonight so I moved some branches to surround them. I'm hoping the nettles and other growth will shield them.

Hi. As you can see in my most recent week's diary I have had a huge increase in pest issues. First signs showed four days ago. Now the plant is mangled. There are ferns and nettles nearby if that changes anything. All I'veI'veu seen are spittle bugs. The newer leaves are worst.

In picture 2 I can see a spider mite middle leaf right above the bite holes. So u definitely have spider mites. And those big new Mark's are either Caterpillar or grasshopper damage.

Your best bet. Is to go pick up some neem oil and some organic insecticidal spray and mix it up and spray it onto your plants.. Tops and the undersides.. Doing this once a week will help combat Pests and a ton of other issues like mold / and or bud rot.. Just don't use it in the last 3 weeks of flowering!! Cheers and happy growing!
