Day 29 of flower;
I gave her another spraying of cinnamon today to keep the white powdery mildew at bay.
Day 30 of flower;
I'm LST'ing the buds a bit to grow fatter. I exercise them a couple of times a day. The buds are fattening up beautifully.
She'll get another cinnamon spraying tonight.
Day 31;
She didn't get the cinnamon spraying last night. Instead she got a Tec-Fort spraying today. I found what I think is spider mites on her.
Day 32;
She's looking happy after yesterday's spraying. I'll spray her again with Tec-Fort in a couple of days, and then I'll see if I can keep them away with cinnamon.
Her branches are getting very heavy, and when I spray her it seems as if they might collapse. Hopefully not...
@HazeyBobby, we're thinking alike, mate. I'll talk to my friends who own a van to see if I can use it. Then I'll just hope I won't get pulled over. The Police has road blocks quite often due to my home town being a gateway for drugs into the country.
@HazeyBobby, yes I'm lucky regarding the sun. We have some pretty intense sunshine here most days. The Banana has started to grow very well the last few days. I haven't grown any outdoor photos before so I'm not sure when she'll start flowering, but hopefully it won't be too soon. She needs a bit more meat on her legs before flowering.
@Ferenc, thanks mate. She needs another few weeks, so I hope she'll survive. Too risky to move her now, so she'll get less direct sunlight. Bummer! She was doing so great...
They look like aphids - my balcony grow always gets them and I've been using neem oil for the first time. Seems to have been doing ok but have not gotten rid of them - just controlling their population.
@HazeyBobby, yes I think at this stage the plant benefits from keeping all the leaves it has.
Those gnats are a never ending story for me. The H2O2 treatment got rid of most of them.
@HazeyBobby, cheers mate. I started a bit late, but we'll see how we go. I'm interested to see how the slow release nutes will do. If it works well, I'll keep using it for my outdoor plants. It costs near nothing and if I don't have to mix any more nute mixes I'll be super happy.
