What is this growing on my plant?

[lilmikeygibson420]

I mix up the neem in small quantities because it likes to separate after a while. I mix it according to the directions on the back pamphlet of the bottle, I think it’s like 2-4 tablespoons per gallon, I usually do a teaspoon for my little hand spray bottle I only fill halfway. I like to apply it just after sundown or lights off, it seems a lot of the critters come out when it’s darker so you really get at the little buggers plus it keeps it from causing leaf burn that might happen if applying in direct light. I will start out spraying every other day for the first 3 applications then every 3-5 days, for a total of two weeks or until you know you’ve taken care of them. That’s what seems to work for me but everyone has there own way depending on the pests and how bad it is. Most are still pretty similar to what I do.

As for the aglime, I’ll have Lil Mikey answer that. My aglime experience is applying tons of it via tractor and side slinging spreader on a few thousand acres of crop land on the family farm, not small scale by any means.

If I plant outside I use neem oil every 6-7 days then when that dries I cover with pulverized limestone.(rockdust)..I keep it covered always until flower...by that time the bugs are bout gone that destroy your leaves....then u haft to fight off theives and law...

I’ve been hitting my outdoors plants about the same as you with neem. I haven’t noticed anything in them but my garden right next to them I’ve seen some critters in there. I get the garden good since that’s probably where anything would come from and then only get my plants just a little.

Do you ever use Sevin dust at all? I used to use it back home in my garden infested with potato bugs every year on the farm there with good results but I’ve never used it on weed before.

Like it says on the bag. Its for acidic soil. It, "corrects" ph in acidic soil by RAISING PH. Thats how lime works.

If your soil is acidic, great. But if your soil is the correct PH already. Raising it might not have desirable effects. As nutrients are only available in a specific range.

As I said previously. The type of nitrogen your plants get can cause rootzone PH to drop over time. Lime is a good buffer against this.

My Bonsi tree experiment. Looks cool so far.

Did you get all the kinks with the bugs and deficiencies under control? Looks like all is well on your side of the world with that nice green growth.

Never have used it bro.

Update on the girls. They're doing great. But I had to learn a hard lesson on fungus as of late. The blanket that I was using to cover my plants up at night had gotten wet and it unleashed some type of fury mold that killed two of my females and was working it's way through the others. It was a sad day. But I have these four left and they're thriving now. My bonsi tree experiment is looking great too. I don't know how I did it but I got it to start flowering early and now it's just growing four colas of huge buds on it. Looks killer. The others are still in full veg state and it's grown with them but just started flowering on it's own. I love it.
It's gonna be August here soon and my other plants should start to flower at the end of the month so I can't wait. Thanks for all the help again guys. @MochaBud @The Phantom @lilmikeygibson420

So I think my bonsi tree is a hermi. I just found out about banannas growing on your bud and why plants hermaph. What do you guys think? Is this normal to be growing on a bud or is this plant both male and female? Please answer asap so I'll know whether not to worry or keep it away from my other girls. Thanks...

I am not seeing any clear male flowers but i can see some insect damage looks like spider mites.

Definitely some spiders. I'll add some more neem oil Tonite bro. So you say, I don't have to worry about it being male?

 

[BeanTownFan420]

No if there are male flowers its to late to worry about it you still did a great job!

Hey man, thanks. It's my 1st time growing and still learning. This forum has been a great help thanks to peeps like yourself. I just need to know so that I can sperate it from my other girls?

 

[CanadianJim]

I don't see any nanners, but you can separate her if you want and have the room.

That's great news to hear. Yes, I've got plenty of room. But if it's a female I'll just keep her with the others. I just don't want a hermi to fuck up my 1st batch of bud ever so I thought I'd ask you fine folks your opinion. So far both of you say I'm good so I'm feeling better already.

I don't see any nads ...are you talking about the calyxes against the stalk? Calyxes "will" form at the stalk, and "sometimes" will produce a bean or 2, but only because life finds a way

I am not seeing any clear male flowers but i can see some insect damage looks like spider mites.

Spider mite signs...Little white pin pricks, along with little hairs/webs on leaves and near stalk, the hairs/webs may look like animal fur, but breaks easily

What he has there is hopefully residue from spaying it before, either that or thrips which can be just as bad or worse, but I'm going with spray residue....looking good Slayer

 

[The Phantom]

I'm in agreement with the others, I think you're just seeing swollen calyxes and fresh pistils. Since you're still in early flower neem shouldn't leave anything funky smelling on your buds come harvest time but at some point you may want to look into using a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution to spray.

Whoops, @MochaBud beat me to it.

 

[Slayer717]

Badass!! Thanks for y'alls opinions. Don't watch YouTube videos then go look at your bud. It'll fuck you up lol. I'm like shit, that's it, mines a hermi, my crop is trash now! I'll be more observant in the future now that I know what I'm looking at.

No problem man quit watching you tube unless it's music videos

 

[Slayer717]

I just hit them all with the neem oil and I'll hit them in a few days with the cal-mag lime. That shit works great.

 

[Slayer717]

That cal-mag lime works great, it's some good stuff. I recently transplanted a huge plant into a bigger pot and saw it was withering from busted roots during the process. Then I met a guy at work who suggested using Super Thrive on a plant that looks like it's dying or needs help during transplanting. Im a believer now. This stuff totally brought the plant back to full veg in just a few days. The last pic in the lineup below is the results. It's got some very nice greenage going now.
