Update On Systemica™... and more:
OK, so I've been using
@Sierra Natural Science Systemica™ on my plants for a number of weeks now, but haven't been reporting on it. I'm changing that with this update.
1st a little background.
Every single year my garden is plagued with many different types of insects. I have tried a great many things over the years to deal with the recurring infestations and the only thing that's helped was continued and heavily repeated applications of neemseed oil combined with either dish soap or insecticidal soap as a foliar spray. The problem is, I never completely eliminated all of the bugs; especially the persistent black scale. Plus, the fact that I've actually worn out 2 sprayers over the years. Oh and heaven forbid if I ever skipped a spray day (!) as they'd all come back with avengeance! And then it seemed nearly impossible to get rid of them! And on top of all that, you can't really spray neemseed oil during flower, forcing me to switch to other products with limited results.
Enter Systemica™ from Sierra Natural Science.
The results are simply amazing! At 1st I wasn't quite sure if this was going to work as advertised, as early progress was slow. But the label did state this was the case and that full results would come over time, so I decided to be patient and ride it out.
As it turns out, I didn't have to wait long... by the 2nd watering, I saw a very dramatic drop in all visible insects. But by the 3rd or 4th watering, I still saw enough black scale to remain concerned, so I clipped off a couple of leaves and took them to my local Hydro Shop guy to view under his digital microscope to get a better idea of just what was going on. To the surprise of he and I, we saw
no live black scale. The black scale that we did see on the plants were dead. Some were flaking off and others had holes in them where you could see the green leaf right through the holes. My Hydro Shop guy could not believe his eyes, as he had much stronger doubts on this product working so completely. I've been bringing clippings into his shop every week or so and he continues to state just how impressed he is by this product because of how clean from insects my plants are. Needless to say, I am a very happy customer using Systemica™ in my garden!
I simply add 1 tbsp per gallon of water, watering my plants as usual. I have also discovered that this product is quite compatible when mixing with other products I've used, such as: Monosilicic acid, Chicken Soup for the Soil, Terpinator®, GeoFlora Veg/Bloom, and liquid kelp plant food.

I Love My Girls...
I can better focus on the pleasant little things while tending my girls:
Fingers crossed... 
. This morining around 8:15AM I measured her and she grew another inch over night! So now she's 33" tall with 11 nodes. I'm counting the nodes that she currently has, as I cut the lower 3 nodes clean off weeks ago... I never like them branches too low to the ground, and they seem to steal resorurces from the higher branches and main cola. Speaking of nodes, there's a full 5 inches between nodes 7 'n 8!!! Here's a pic of her:
I am so thankful.
