Thrips infestation and chemical pesticide, help!

BigBeautifulWeedstarted grow question 6y ago

I've bugs, probably thrips. I'll not be able to obtain organic pesticide (neem oil based) before one week! Is the 7th day from germination, the white bastards are developing and spreading ultrafast. Would be safe to use a chemical pesticide made for roses at this stage?

Hey gardener, it worked for the red spider mites so it should work for the thrips too. You take a wet cotton ball and clean well under your leaves to get rid of them all. You can also use water and soap. Since your plant is still small, it should be fine.

Hey buddy :-) Why don't you want to use neem oil? As long as they are in the vegan phase, you can do that. Just not in bloom. :-) Nevertheless, it looks great so far 👍🙏🏻

Hole in stem I found a hole in the stem. I’m not sure if it was a burrow worm or from a tie down I had there. I injected it with a liquid that kills them. (Rosemary extract because everywhere is out of BT local to me). I also sprayed it on the leaves and in the soil. Looks better now?

I think 18" was a bit too much for the plants and has affected the growth rate. Do you think these are stunted? Also do you think that the yellowing is because of the light? or other issues such as PH (unknown)?

Fungal gnats( black flies)I have sprayed plants with neem oil, done a neem oil soil flush and also put sticky yellow fly traps in tent. Still catching lots of fungus gnats. Cannot seem to get rid of them. Anything else to try or will they eventually catch them all? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Partial Harvesting and flushing the medium.Can I do partial harvesting of the flowers that are ready and leave the other to ripe on the plants for longer? If yes, how should I proceed with flushing the substrate with plain water? I need to get rid of the salts before harvesting, even if harvesting partially. Please help.

White critters Found these little fuckers on two clone cuttings taken from Glenda. Immediately bagged and tossed both of them. They were on a leaf stem on both, one leaf had turned yellow. Careful inspection of all plants in the same space found no more. What are they and how fucked am I?

After speaking with the breeder about this plant that won’t flower, I’ve taken their advice to switch the dark/light to 14/10. I’ll post some pics tonight. Has anyone had such a hard time getting a plant to flower before? And, if so, what did you do to get it to switch?
