Still unhappy with this grow overall. I can't seem to control the aphids infestation as you can see in the picture. I am reluctant to cut her down, so I think I will wait until harvest and then wash the buds in a solution of lemon juice and bicarb soda. Hopefully that does the trick.
Open to suggestions.
@Ryder,
Bugger, that is something I didn't consider here. Running an average of 67% humidity all year round and I'm about 50 meters from the sea. Lets see how it all goes.
@RustyStarbuck72,
Mine was slightly deformed too when it popped out of the soil, but it has grown strong and doesn't show any deformity anymore. Lets see how it turns out.
@RustyStarbuck72,
Thanks mate. This is my first one and so far so good. I've been playing around with the LST this week, you'll see the pics in my next updated diary.
@Ryder,
Absolutely bloody spewing mate. I gave her a good hose down and we'll see how it goes. If she survives til harvest, I read that you can wash the plant in bicarb soda and lemon to kill them off before hanging for the dry.
