Hello again,
I got neem oil last night but I couldn’t find safersoap. I bought a spray that is for direct use and the lady said Its safe to spray the plant with it. I mixed 500ml of water, 5ml of neem and 10ml of the spray I got.
Sprayed all plants because I noticed some damage on my smaller Gorilla Punch that was untouched until last night..
While spraying I noticed two really small bugs in the soil but i couldnt catch them.
I sprayed the leaves on both sides but they were rly wilted and the soil was dry so I gave them 1 hour and then I watered with plain 6.3 phd water (my tap water is 8ph and I squeeze abit of lemon and managed to get it down to 6.3 but it will go back up if i let it sit. I guess using ph down is what I should be doing instead of squeezing a lemon ?
I have one issue though..
I cant get the 20L pots to runoff.. they took 2 litres of water and the bottom was barely wet
Do I need to water to runoff? My smaller 10L pots are worrying me abit because as soon as I start watering 3 seconds later the water is already at the bottom and there is around 20-30% runoff and this time they took around 1.5l but if i keep watering it all goes at the bottom

I found this bad boy on one of the leaves i cut. Should’ve smoked him.
Should I remove all of the yellow/ dead leaves?

Try that link, it explains how to water properly.
Neem spray on top of the soil will help with the bugs.
Hope you are well my friend.

Stay safe
Bill

Hi Tin! Personally I'd go ahead and remove the damaged leaves. It won't matter much what you do, I just don't like looking at them lol

No point in smoking them they have no resin glands. Been there done that!

 

[Tin1017]

Hey Bubba, thanks for replying, Every opinion matters to me
I have removed some of the leaves.
Is it safe to remove them by hand or do I need to cut them? I just removed some with scissors but then realized its alot easier to just “gently” remove them by hand. They broke pretty easily
This leaf has the letter “V” on it. My name starts with a V so I guess thats a good sign, eventhough its dead
I didn’t sanitize my scissors though and not sure about my hands but I will make sure not to touch my plants with dirty hands.
Is it really bad to use “dirty” scissors and whats the worst that can happen if you gently touch your plants leaves without washing your hands first? Sorry for the dumb questions..

Hey, Thanks Bill. I am reading that now.
I will spray some neem directly on soil. I only sprayed the leaves

Did you get top and bottom of leaves.
Also 10% of h202 and water next time you water will help kill the ones in the soil.
You might not be waiting long enough for your soil to dry properly.
Try to follow @Emilya 'S instructions in the tutorial.
She put a lot of research into the subject of soil and proper watering.
I found the most common mistake is over watering so make sure you get that dry cycle going right away.
Have a great evening my friend.

Stay safe
Bill

 

[Tin1017]

Hey Bill, yes i sprayed top and bottom. I also sprayed the soil when I read your comment.
They have 1h left of darkness then I will check on them.
About Emilyas guide I read that a couple of weeks ago but I feel like I should read that every morning with my coffee

 

[Tin1017]

Hey, I love to check on them quite often. I guess it isnt a big deal if I open my tent 10 times per day, right?
I think ill have to take them outside pretty soon.. Worried about the stress and I sprayed them with neem yesterday. Should I wait abit before bringing them outside in the sun, and when should i spray them next?
Thank you
Pics were taken 1 minute after I turned the Leds on.

As long as your not handling them looking 10 times a day is just perfect.
If your talking them outside it's recommended to harden them off.
So slowly into the sun so it doesn't cook the.
Spray every other day or so until gone.

Stay safe

Morning Tin! Also make sure the neem oil is dry before you put them into the sun or back under the lights, at least that's what I've always done. They'll love the sun.

 

[Tin1017]

Thanks for that tip, Bubba
and good morning to you too!
Thank you for helping me with this but unfortunately I sprayed them and put them back in the tent under strong light.
Migro aray 8 pro is around 630 true watts i believe and its at 100% now.
I will be spraying neem oil in a bit
My gorilla punch plant is extremely bad btw.. both plants are same age and u can see how bad the gorilla is
There was also some water on my leaves.
My girl swore she didnt spray them but she turned my whole ventilation off when i simply asked her to just turn leds off since i wasnt at home. Idk how hot it got in there with leds off but it was 27 degrees whej i checked it

Thank you Bill.
I appreciate your support you all are truly amazing. Pics didnt upload last time. First three are the sick gorilla punch 2022 i had high hopes for her hope it isnt too late to save her. She is 27 days old and the 4th pic is my 27 day old pineapple express
The 20L pineapple express is growing so fast and no signs of pest dmg.
I will spray them with neem again but let the leaves dry out this time.
I am so sad for her
And i will get the trays u suggested I just used all my money on my phtester. Should arrive tomorrow or monday
For some reason photos wont upload

 

[Tin1017]

I will be taking them outside tomorrow. Will be 25+ degrees during the day but it gets as low as 12-13 during the night.
I will keep them inside during the night but they will be getting no light.
It will be too late before I get my salary and im able to buy a small cheap led so they dont sit under 10 hours of darkness.
Would 5-6 hours of sun be enough?
It is 25+ degrees and the sun is rly strong.
Once i take them outside tomorrow I will read Bills comment again to make sure I do it as he suggested. I was too busy yday and today too but i have weekend off so I can fix the outside area and give the rest some space
I wish I had two tents Now but once I harvest this I will definitely get a cheap grow kit that I can also use for drying..

When going outside I put them out for a bit in a shady spot first.
See how they do.
If they look good keep them there for the day.
If they start to look wilty bring them in side right away.
Repeat this until you can get them into direct sun without any problems.
Could take a few days.
25c is perfect , just take your time.
As long as they don't get more than 10 hours absolute darkness at night they will stay in veg.
All you need to do is leave a fluorescent light on in the room they are in at night.
Most lights will keep them from producing enough of the hormone that makes them flower.
Do you have an old fridge?
Some people use them for drying.
But you can't grow in them.

Stay safe
Bill

Hey, Bill. I will do as you said and see how they feel.
I have an old fridge but I don’t have a fluorescent light, Ill get one in a couple of hours.
Its funny how 2 months ago I thought I had everything Id need for a grow and I was not even close..
I will do as you said and see how they do, thanks again Bill.
Btw do you think that gorilla punch plant will survive? She looks extremely bad, I will spray her again with neem in abit. It will be their 2nd time getting sprayed. Other plants seem ok

She can recover no problem, and be a star.
Never give up on a girl, I learned a lot from taking care of problem girls.
Plus she isn't bad.
Are you doing h202 still?
How are you feeding her again?

Stay safe
