It was a hot week last week. And according to the weather reports, it will stay that way until the end of next week.
I've tried to keep the plants in the greenhouse (because it has good ventilation) but have moved them out of the greenhouse into the shade because the plants are suffering from the heat.
The plant has grown 1cm. But it's safe to say it has stopped.
I'm giving the plant extra water in these hot days. And a bit less nutes because of the nutrient burn from last week. I'm planning to ramp it up slowly, but not giving as much as before.
No bugs found during my inspection (yay!)
There are several leaves that are damaged. But it doesn't look to be bugs. But mechanical damage due to the sun or something. I'll post a grow question just to be sure.
The flowers look good. Some slight frosting is beginning to show on the top.
The plant will stay in the shade behind my house for a couple more days. This protects them from the burning sun from the midday, but will catch some nice rays in the evening.
I have to hold some wood while saying this. But I'm glad the bug problem is fixed as far as I can see. The pesticide and neem oil has done its job. I've also sprayed neem oil into the greenhouse before putting the plant in there to persuade any bugs in there to leave.
See you next week!
I came back from a three week holiday and noticed some leaves have some sort of mold or bugs underneath them.
The leaf of the picture is the worst one.
What is it and what should I do?
I came back from a three week holiday and noticed some leaves have green spots scattered all over them.
The plant only had water and no nutrients for two weeks.
Is this due to nutrient deficiency? Or should I be worried?
Reposted the question because I forgot to add a picture.
Some parts of some leaves are looking like they're burnt or something.
Is this due to the sun? Or do I have another problem?
It has been extremely hot last week (around 35 degrees all week). And the plant has been in direct sunlight (I've moved it into the shade yesterday)
If you let the soil dry too much the plant starts uptaking more nutrients so that may be the issue, overdrying rather than overfeeding, try adding some straw or hay or whatever plant material on top of the soil to keep the soil more chill.
That's over feeding, also called nutrient burn (burnt tips and edges). See how dark the leaves are? that is not normal, leaves should be light green, not dark, that's another symptom of over feeding. Stop feeding it, and give it plain water.
Dear Fatanq,
She is growing beautiful! Good luck! 👍💪
As Your Lady is flowering try to change the description of the week. The other thing is that it is very risky to spray neem oil or other pesticides on flowering plants... I am a rookie but that is what I hear from every response from veterans.
Anyway, I wish You all the best with Your Lady. I would like to add that I love Your long and detailed reports on Your grow! 👍
