Well the neem oil nearly killed her. I bought ready made spray, I either applied to heavily or the concentration was way to high.
I checked if it was the neem oil by spraying one of my tomatoe plants... it was causing brown spots with just a small application.
It’s a shame, as it is uncertain if she will recover with such stunted growth.
But I have definitely learnt a lot with my first grow, next time round I will be more prepared.
Mother Nature can be unforgiving but I believe she needs respect in order for her to work with you.✌️
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😬
