Keith's Real Second Grow - Banana Jealousy

[KeithLemon]

Thank you @Carmen Ray 3 1/2 weeks and I will not be so nervous. The flowers are already changing with little orange, brown hairs. I love and hate this part of the grow. Thanks for stopping by.

All you can do is hold on tight (and spray)!

Dawn dish soap

Don't use Dawn on plants, it's got petroleum in it!

I'll write this down in case I ever get a PM problem! Thanks for teaching me something new

After many weeks of testing, I'm here to offer my endorsement of 0.3% canola oil spray for powdery mildew (PM). And to break it all down for you, here is the Thursday update (after you've congratulated @Grand Daddy Black for his triple OTM win last night...I'll wait!). Text, then pictorial...

Is their a safer alternative to cheap soap that kills insects?

Honestly not worried about it. It's negligible when diluted correctly. The petroleum is in the parts per million and I dilute it again. It works and doesn't affect the health of my plants as far as I can tell. But if you have a better solution I'll try it. Just saying not everything will kill you because it's got oil or metal in it. We already have microplastics in our blood streams.

I have been using it. Guess I will go back to hand soap. It was only a couple drops.

Dr Bronner's unscented.

There are alternatives, so I dont see a reason to use Dawn.

Have I mentioned Dr Bronner's unscented?

Hey Keith!

INCREDIBLE! STUNNING! WOW!

Those girls are thriving and filling those colas out beautifully!

It makes me get urges! I wish I could grow outside. I live on a farm. But, I did one year (in the neighbors corn field) and it wasn’t so cool when seasons change and the plants needed 5 more weeks and the corn was brown and going to be harvested, but the girls were very green and 8’ tall. Not cool. The autos I planted also taught me that those busy bees, or the breeze, or whatever, those autos finished but they were plumb full of seeds. So even if I could, I can’t.

I’m going to say what I feel many here will feel is a nasty word, but to me it is organic and natural. Why is it that no one uses Neem oil?There’s the word! No soap, just neem diluted in lukewarm water - shake often. I am not a super experienced grower (yet), but I have used it on my garden veggies for years, especially my tomatoes that are vey susceptible to PM, and on my past cannabis grow when I got spider mites. My thoughts are that continuing to get the plants wet every other day is exacerbating the PM. If I sprayed my tomatoes to water them it would kick up the PM. So I learned to water the soil when I watered them instead of spraying the whole plant. Neem just seemed to clean up the PM and made the leaves and fruits shiny and happy looking. And it is supposed to be garden safe. Always to be sprayed at dusk or dawn, never in the hot sun. I only repeated it if my plants needed a second spraying 3-7 days later (PM still there) and/or after rains.

So please point me to what I’m missing, cuz I just know some of the growers feel it’s bad but I don’t know why? It’s worked so well for me. Isn’t it natural and organic?

PM aside, my goodness do I envy your outdoor girls! Gorgeous Keith!

Neem is great in veg and pretty much all I use then, but once I see pistils I stop using it. It turns the pistils brown and makes the flowers taste funny.

Neem oil smells horrible lol only reason I don't use it.
