RADE245started grow question 5 years ago

Has someone out there used chillis to make a treatment for bugs (i.e. caterpillars off by habanero...😁) ? I don't know? I want to use something organic preferably. That's it. Thanks.

I have been trying 2tbsp cayenne pepper powder + 2tbsp garlic powder + 1 tsp dish soap + 1 quart of water Not all that sure it's helping, as I am slaying caterpillars on my Sour Diesel plant daily.

I'm going to try the garlic and chilli option. I have a reliable pH meter in case the mixture proves a bit stronger than expected.

Caterpillars will destroy your crop in days. Need to stay on top of them. Cinnamon, garlic , mint and cyan are all good deterents for them.

Si io uso per bruchi e insetti un decotto di aglio e peperoncino lo lascio riposare 24 h in una bottiglia e poi lo spruzzo sulle foglie, ottimo 👍👍

Micro nutrient lockout/deficiency?I think this is a micronutrient deficiency/lockout due to underwatering, underfeeding and PH imbalance. From my research it looks like Iron or sulphur. I fed them with Compost tea and more dry amendments, they seem to have perked up since.

Plant too small/ Flowered too early?Surprised to see this little runt flower so beautifully when shes so short and stumpy. Anyone know potentially how much bigger she can get?? Shes about 10cm tall but so far has by volume most flowers on it. Could this be an autoflower or a stunted dwarf that flowered Early?

Purple Gorilla Greetings all, new guy here. Have an outdoor Royal Gorilla in a 15 gal clay pot @ 19+ weeks showing purple sugar leaves and trichs for a few weeks. It has been suggested that low phosphurus (not likely) or low temps (possibly) are causing this. Sorry about the blurry photos.
