Hi, here I'll post some concerns about my first time outdoor grow. I'm using this plants as a experiment to see what I need to improve next time. I'm hoping you can give me a hand with the problems so I can make it better next time.
I live in central america (spanish speaker), so right now we're in raining season and its so humid that many of the problems are attached to this condition. As you can see in the images, the stem is very tall I think its due to the clouds that are very often shading the plants, so they tend to grow this tall. Already thinking in topping eariler next grow.
Set up: 1mx1m greenhouse with some extra led lights to get 18 hours of light a day for vegetative stage.
These extra lights attract way toooo many insects at the night and thats why the leaves have bites in some pictures, I tried some garlic with soap and olive oil but didnt work as I need it.
Concerns:
1) Insects as mentioned above.
2) Fungus(pictures 1st, 2nd): I had like a wave of fungus in my leaves so I made some Lactobacillus to control them, but I think I used it too often and the leaves were like wrinkle so i needed to get rid of them since they were too bad and just using energy (I guess). In the pics you can see the white spots all over the leave's surface.
I moved on after I pruned my plants, topped them and applied some LST. They were going good 'til this:
3) Overfertilization (pictures 3rd, 4th):This time i think its an over fertilization, it happened to one of the younger plants and almost to an older plant. Maybe I used the fertilizer too often and it was too much for the younger plant. The leaves just dried and died, starting from the inside of the leave to the outside, with a brown color.
What should I do in these two scenarios?
PD: I think I should move onto a bigger greenhouse with better growing conditions to avoid fungus and insects, what do you think?
