First of all, hello to all of you out there, this is indeed a community that cares for each other's success, and that is awesome!
I have been a medical meds patient for 3 years at which point, I started growing my own for the first time ... once I was legal.
I only grow for myself, so a little goes a long way...
I have had some issues with pests, such as fungus gnats, coming from new soil, from just about every manufacturer out there....soil is soil, and gnats like it. To control them I have used a 5/1 solution of water/Peroxide each time I transplant to a new soil, which has helped....
I Have slowly evolved from a complete novice of the subject, to feeling very confident in identifying nutrient issues, as well as the art of cloning etc....and it's become one of the most interesting experiences.
I currently have an issue with spider mites, I got it as a prize from a clone that I picked up from a friend (Can you say "Never again?")
I thought at first it was a mag deficiency....but the cob webbies don't lie....luckily again, I only have a small number of small plants to deal with, and only one flowering (2 weeks to finish), and there is nothing on it......I pulled it and sprayed it down with some soapy/ non-phosphate dish soap underside and then all over every inch of it, then rinsed it thoroughly the next morning....Going to do it again in 2 days...hopefully my buds will stay free of webs....
The vegging plants have all gotten the same treatment, except, I've added a pest strip to each box, and leave it for a week to get rid of them completely... and obviously flush the plants as soon as I remove the strips.
Hopefully the problem will be resolved...I am so grateful for all the info
It's all come from good folks like yourselves, thank you.
I look forward to returning the favor, if I can.
