Neem oil, in my experience, doesn't work terribly well... I use Dr. Zymes which is organic and can be used up to the day of harvest and is FABULOUS and takes care of a whole HOST of pests... grab yourself some of it and grab it quickly! Good luck!

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?

Using Marigolds to deter bugs
Has anyone here used marigolds to deter bugs? I’ve germinated about 50 marigolds with my girls so they can all grow together(separate pots for the marigolds) are the marigolds worth the extra work?

Possible spider mites?
I can't get a good pic of it but I've found with loupe a couple black dots here and there one 1 plant. I'm not sure what it is. They aren't moving. This 1 is right on the line of harvesting. What do I do? Not sure but don't wanna risk it either way contaminating my other plants

Mites?
Hi. What are these? Slow crawling, not fast or jumpy, about the size of this period . They swarm by the thousands after I water. Plants are doing great. I hit them with CannControl and Lost Coast, population has reduced a bit. I’m leaning towards soil mites. What do y’all think?

Hungry hungry caterpillars
So here is a new fun one. So i thought the webbing on a couple of buds where spider mites….. turns out i was very wrong. Luckily im not squeamish so dove in and opened the bud cluster to clean off the webbing and low and behold little tiny caterpillar. Will a fine net stop this?

Is this spider fine where she’s at?
I know spiders are good, but is it okay if they web up in my new bud growth? She’s webbed up at the tallest flowering node of the plant.

Alright I am not sure what to do. The breeder suggests 60 days in flower and she is ready for harvest. But because of the thrips infestation I had, 1 girl seems to be stunted. Should I just wait longer than 60 days and hopefully they recover and fully mature?

Aphids found late in flowering
Looking closely at the week 11 photo, you can see aphids on one of the upper leaves. I removed all leaves that had them and gave the plant a light garlic concentrate to discourage further bugs. Should I just harvest now given that Im close to the end anyway? alternative ideas?
