InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

Thanks @dr.h00k I'm learning as I go and I'm committed to kill every last one of those little buggers.

So I have a couple things.

First, is there a spreadsheet anywhere showing the sex guesses of the plants? I'm pretty competitive so I would like to know how my semi-educated guesses are faring.

Second, and more important to me is my bug/pest problem. I figured there is no better place to post a cannabis related question then the home of the MOTY. Since this is my first time battling bugs it is all a learning experience for me. As recommended since all my afflicted plants are smaller clones, seedlings, and small vegging plant I purchased a bottle of Neem oil and have been soaking (to the point the plants are all drooped over) the bottoms and tops of all the leaves on every one of my young vegging plant. Treatment is in 3 day intervals and so far I've applied it three times. Today I snipped off a bunch of leaves showing the telltale little white spots and looked them over really well with my cheap Chinese lighted mini microscope. I did not see anything crawling or snacking on any of the selected leaf fingers.

However, on a couple of the leaves I saw little round opaque balls. Some lighter in color then others. They appeared to be pierced by the hairs on the underside of the leaves. Almost as if they were impaled on the hairs. A couple people have told me that this is something that is on the leaves and probably aren't eggs. Others say they've never heard of that and they are eggs. The thing is they were not on all the leaf fingers I sampled just on a few. So if it is something that is found on the leaves why wouldn't it be on all the leaves?

I posted here because only like 3 people visit my thread. Any help is appreciated.

Oh, I was also told to buy a product called Spinosoid (sp) and to switch it up with the neem oil. One one day, the other the following spray. Good idea?

LOL!

I'm sure those things are eggs. Spinosad has a 6x per plant limit and it doesn't work on mites (in case these turn out not to be thrips) so I would just keep it on the "possible" list.

If you want to add something else to your bug killing arsenal, I would add food grade diatomaceous earth spray. Only in veg though.
 
I kept that leaf finger with all the "egg" looking things on it. How long approximately till they would hatch? I have it in a 1/2 gallon mason jar and want to keep checking it to see if they hatch. They can only be seen through a microscope.
 
As you are a retired person, it does not matter how long they take. You can watch it while timing the de-doming of your clones.

Oh, just for the record, DE should be mixed 4 Tbs/gallon and sprayed mostly on the underside of the leaves. Once dry, it will last a couple of weeks if it doesn't get wet. Which is to say, don't spray with neem oil while you wait for the DE to work.

By your description, I'm guessing they may be white fly eggs. I struggled with those in my outdoor garden (non cannabis) last year. What worked best for me (actually my wife did all the work) was diluted Castile soap sprayed/wiped onto the undersides of the leaves.

Those are white fly eggs. They get that weird powdery look to them.
 
Yes, I am retired. And something I learned in my working life was work smarter not harder. That being said...…………………….

Store-bought sourdough sandwich bread is what I have my PBJ on five days a week!

Hey shed
Sourdough bread. Decent!
Also these ladies here I think you might enjoy looking at some leaf loins a few ayahuasca purple's flipped a few days ago.

That's how you do it...you should teach Catfish how to properly post their pics in another person's journal :cheesygrinsmiley:. Nice pistils!
 
Quickie Wednesday update. 48º outside and 60º inside when I woke up this morning, so it was too cold to water or spray the plants outside. Into the shower they went! I heated the pre-mixed MegaCrop in the microwave to about 70ºF as well as the castille soap spray for Purple Skunk KRUSH 2 with the aphids.

Here they are:

In the tent

Back, left to right:
Golden Tiger 2, GT1, Fruit Punch
Front, l-r:
Flipped IIP, PSK2, PSK1

I moved them all into the chilly sun before I left for work. High of 64º today but I'm hoping the radiant heat will keep them happy.

:cool:
 
Beautiful plants, Shed.
 
Beautiful plants,Shed !- good eye catching that aphid-it only takes one- they're born pregnant,and all the babies are females- yep- feminized bugs...
 
Maybe you should plant aphids? :hmmmm:
 
That one got me...:rofl::laugh:
