Konk's 1st Grow: ON Canada

You plants are looking good Konk. Sorry about your continued war on the bugs. @johnnystackz has a good idea I believe. FYI, there is a sponsor here - Sierra Natural Science - and the majority of their bug products that I’ve looked at are primarily Rosemary oil.... I’ve used them and they seem to work, but I believe you need to be careful about spraying the buds with oil. I used mine in the soil when I watered.
 
Feeling a tad Zen this morning.

It had rained overnight and I know the wet isn't great but these biotches had better toughen up and tolerate a shower. They are given a friggn' weed wagon parade twice a day. Really, they have been doused in concoctions for days and I think it would do them some good to be weeds...

Found a couple lady bug or beetle stragglers, everything is welcome if it preys on aphids at this point.

"hope" lol

It pains me to see the pistils brown but I am in this to beat those little ba$tards.
Pic dump, they look good and green...the pisitils look a little poisoned...just the tip

Okay pm experienced folks, I am not going to lose it just yet, but this pic is residue from all of my concoctions. Right? Makes sense, nice logical answer...

Konk. I haven’t kept up with all your concoctions. Was baking soda included in any of them?

No. Alcohol, dish soap, water over the week and GreenEarth the day before yesterday.
It is on everything...
 
Tried the mist and rub and it could be like a coating. Hopefully it is concoction related. 'Cause I am in over my head.

Watered and rubbed leaves
 
Deep breath. When you say everything do you mean all of the pot plants or is it on all of the grenery (bushes, flowers, etc). Also, what kind of dish soap?

Dish soap was lemon Palmolive. I just check the area, pots and soil are not fuzzy with mold and it doesn't smell like mildew. It appears to be on all of the leaves, we had rain overnight and it makes sense that the dew, concoctions and rain have pooled and dried.
I just have $hit end of the stick luck lol
 
Yeah. I agree w/BT. Almost looks like a protective barrier! Lol. I think you did a very good job of coating them! Other than that they look pretty good to me. If you are currently, I would stay away from the flowers. The aphids are on the underside of the leaves, right? They are disgusting but I don’t believe they are doing any real “damage” ( other than to your psyche lol) are they? I would just be careful that you aren’t damaging them more than the bugs. No offense! :hugs:
 
And growing outside can be really effing hard sometimes!

I hear you and am trying to play it cool, but they are on the leaves in the flowers.

Plant #5 - Good from far but far from good

I could be crying wolf, but they lay pregnant young and I am seeing all stages of life cycle.
I did bail on the 9:1 water to iso advice early but had I waited 4 days with them multiplying and GreenEarth on the shelf I would have been bitter. :oops:

You think I may do more harm than the bugs, I hope not, but I have seen way too many infestations to not try to stay ahead of them...at least while it's warm
 
Hey Konk. Understood. Have you tried a milk spray? That’s all I got. I hope it works out!
 
I have already thanked Boo for talking me down yesterday, that was great :nervous-guy: I have been on high alert anticipating the fall elements and am way uptight. :lot-o-toke:

Yesterday was sprinklings of rain and I left the crop uncovered, they got light rain overnight. l am chilling thinking they are weeds and have been sheltered for weeks and this is good for them. Meh, if I had been pampered I would want to play in the rain a while. If it gets heavy I can tarp them or bring the whole wagon inside.

This is the same plant I took the sketchy leaf picture of after some time in the weather. Looks good to my inexperienced eye.

Plant #2 - day after residue

Left side is yesterday, right side this morning about a day later.

Plant #2 L 9.29 vs R 9.30

Too wet to look for aphids maybe they will all drown, yup that sounds delightful.
 
Wandered out to the quarantine area and the wagon was so full of rain water these two are well satuarted, moved them up on some blocks.

And Plant #5.5 looking bushy. About 20 days since "nibbled" all flowers right of the orange line.

And this is a typical depiction of my two steps forward one step back footprint, swing and a miss but promising :eye-roll:

Today the crop turns 17 weeks from seed. Think this is week 3 of the aphid fight.

17 weeks from seed

Plants #5 & 5.5 are heavily infested, I have them quarantined off around a wind break from the weed wagon, but we will see.

Plant #5 - Good from far but far from good

Plant #4, the most robust of the crop, was pretty buggy yesterday so I hit the leaves with the aphids directly with GreenEarth concoction and any overlaps on the wagon. I took the left over and hit plant #5 & 5.5...ya, well we'll see...

This is clockwise plants #1-3 top 4, 5 & 5.5 bottom. Plants #1-4 lemon saphire seeds have shown pistils almost 6 weeks and plant #5 and it's unintentional salvage clone #5.5 have shown pisitls for about 7 weeks.

All 17 weeks from seed

They're not as pretty, but they are still kickin'!
