Well she is one sad looking plant, I believe it was white flies that were eating the crop. If I hadn’t intervened with the neem oil that arrived a couple days ago, They would have munched through both plants, as they found them so tasty.
The been oil seems to have done its job, and they have stopped biting, so hopefully she will grow back with a fury.
There have been thunderstorms in the past few days, also I have been spraying her with soapy water, which is why she looks so droopy.
Any advice for protecting the plant from getting eaten by insects? I think it is small flys I have found on the leaves. I would rather not use chemical pesticides.
Neem oil is an organic pesticide made from a plant. I use it as do many other growers. Just don't use it last 4 weeks of flower. You can plant marigolds around your crop to help deter alot of pests. And 🐞 are a great pest predators!! Happy Growing! 👊
Update: Went to the crop, and the situation is worse some leaves have now been eaten off. Ive ordered some neem oil, but read that soapy water is also a solution, so using that in the meantime😬
