5th week, Big grow and small trouble, I have some hole on some leaf and I have some soil fly. I have put some Citrus Essential oil, and I have return the soil to remove the fly larva and make the soil dry. Because of the rainy days, the soil stay wet. After return the earth I have found 2 larva I have throw away. And for the hole on the leaf I think that a start of aphids. I have put some oil solution on the leaf, and this remove all the aphids. I think this oil solution make the bottom leaves become a little brown, don't know why. The LST work well.
I want to know if I put my plants in my green house made by wood and plastic cover, with temperature of 10°C during the night, do you think this will be bad for the plant ? The temperature will be to low for the plant ?
Thanks :)))
As stated it’s strain dependent. Low temps will most likely stunt your plant or limit its growth. I’ve had outdoor plants withstand 2 C nighttime temps for 2 weeks. That being said if you don’t want to add a heater to your little greenhouse at night you could try and get your hands on some bricks. Bricks act as a thermal mass and if you place some in your greenhouse they can absorb the heat from the sun during the day and slowly release the; heat back during the night.
Hello, I want to know if the hole on my plant is due of aphid ? What should I do to protect the plant and kill them all ? I can make a preparation with soap, garlic, oil, and water ? It can be bad during flowering ?
Thanks
That is what most people do. Soap and neem oil and spray heavily you can also use pink himalayan salt diluted with water, this will kill the bugs but not harm the plant, normal salt will harm the plant 🌱👍
