I accidentally somehow made a small rip in plant 2 after the picture but I think it will be fine. It was on the larger bottom leaves.
My Bio Bizz nutrients are arriving tomorrow so I can soon introduce those to the plants as directed.
7/28 - Gave then a first through feeding will
little runoff. Using Bio Bizz nutrients. I actually went a little under the recommended feeding schedule to avoid burning them. Since I’m a noob and this is my first grow I’m just trying to see how they are reacting to this without going overboard. I also waited until the pots were very light to water since I am paranoid about overwatering. I check them hourly.
I do have another photoperiod plant in there not documented here, it was showing a bottom slight yellowish leaf so seemed it was time to introduce the feeding schedule.
I should prob LST but honesty I am a bit intimidated the first grow I just want these to make it though
7/30 - Raised the light a bit. Seemed a bit close saw some possible light bleaching on the lower leaves. It was about time anyway since they are taller now.
7/31 - Confirmed I have some Thrips, you can see the damage on the bottom leaves on Plant 1 and I've seen 3 of them. It's been recommended I can use Neem Oil or Dr. Bonners Soap to fix the issue. I'm going the soap route. It's advised 3/4 water 1/4 soap for the solution in case anyone is curious. Plants don't need feeding for at least another day or 2 more the pots still have some weight to them.
@Inganjawetrust, TY Ill update frequently! I have a few other plants in there I don't have documented its too much work lol. At least I've learned preventative measures now for next grow I think they will make it!
@djelektra,
Good luck with the little fuckers. I see a lot of people who recommend mixing a little neem oil in with the soap . You don't have buds yet so I don't think it would hurt.
Best of luck man 👍
✌️
@Inganjawetrust, Thanks! I am a bit concerned with the Thrip issue ( its not out of control yet) but the soap mixture I'm going to use arrived today hope that helps. I'm going to feed them tomorrow, last watered Tuesday and the soil is now almost dry that inch. Really nervous as this is my first grow and I also hate bugs. I really appreciate it! Makes me feel a bit better lol
