This week brought a little bit of action on the pest management front. I discovered some spider mites on the clover growing underneath the plant, so the clover got a much-needed haircut.
I immediately scanned the cannabis leaves with my microscope to check for trouble. Thankfully, I couldn’t find any live pests or the typical webbing on the plant itself, but knowing they were nearby, I wanted to play it safe. I sprayed both the clover and the cannabis leaves with a hydrogen peroxide solution, carefully avoiding the buds as much as possible. A day later, I followed up by treating the soil and the remaining clover with a neem oil solution.
Aside from that minor skirmish, the plant is still making a very strong, very good impression and looks super healthy overall. Now it's just a matter of keeping a close eye on her to see if those little critters try to make a comeback, but for now, everything is looking solid!
