Throwed done good. It's those little Caterpillows that come munching the dead of night that concers Me. "DE" (Diatamatious Earth" sp?) sprinkled at the base of each Baby. Also, a loosley strip of tin foil around the little base helps detour decapitation at ground level. Order the good seeds via "The Attitude, as Throwed said. I like the prices at KC Brains, via the Attitude. Using insecticide that will drain it the soil & effect your rooting system concerns me, also. Look up Preying Mantis,.. when the Babies come out. At that time, you may find a new nest' of them, as I have. I got about 20 & took to my "Pea Patch". 80& of the insects are beneficial. People do foliar feeding because nutrients & moisture DOES absorb into the trunk, limbs & leaves. It gets SO hot here, the Nursery's spray mist water on plants up to 7 to 10 times per day. Anyway, I only spary the plants with mollasses (2 Oz's per gal), Liquid Seaweed (follow directions)& Plant Wash, every 30 days. Molasses keeps the ants away, seaweed strenghtens the plants tissue to the extent that Spider Mites can't penetrate to outter layer of the bark to suck moisture. No moisture, no Mites. Plus it has 90 varies components. Neem works for a LOT of things, not all. In knowing that the leaves are made up of breathing, absorbing cells, I have concerns about coating the open cells with an oil base mixture, Organic or not. I also spray mist plain good water to assist in the transpiration of the plant (roots absorbing water to feed the plant moisture)and to wash the dust off the open plant cells. In HOT weather, up 70% of the plants energy is used for transpiring, taking energy from the flowering process. In droughts, the only moisture available is for the plants to absorb the "DEW" each morning. Never Foliar feed or spray during hours of Sunlight. Early morns or late evening. Super Thrive is for Plants that has undergone shock. But a little every 30 days would not hurt. "Thrive", on the other hand, You DO need. (See "use Thrive.com") The big Box Centers has nothing good for your Ladies. Stay with the local Plant Nursery's. At your local store, molasses & Epsum Salt is to be found. One hand full of the ES per planting area per plant, & always use thrive, seaweed, molesses, greensand, fish emulsion, and check out Garret Juice at Dirt Doctor.com. His Library is also wonderful, which will tell you what I've said here, but a LOT more. Pile up brush piles on the North & South sides of your grow area, plant fast growing vines- like the potato vine. They won't block the east & west Sun, but will block ground view & help block sky view in a natural setting. If shoe prints are a concern, put duct tape on the soles. Poke 3/8th inch holes one foot away & around you Babies, & that's where you fert/water them This makes the Plant's root system travel to get the nutes. Roots won't travel if they have what they need where they are at. Causing the roots to travel (root training), the root system will be twice the normal size, meaning twice the nutrient absorbtion capacity, twice the growth, twice the size, ect. The thrive & molasses will break down and/or assist breaking down the nutes, minerials, etc; so the roots can readilly absorb the Nutes. The KC Brains Afghan is a good for beginers plant, and the THC is 17 to 20%. Look for natural plants the exact same color green as your plants. Some strains is light green, some dark. Full Sun east & west. Hope this helped.
