Im not gonna talk down bout these ladies and try take pity points like anyone else, erhem!! Psu!
They look GREAT! look at those....stems, and those........ petioles!
Last one is the runt of the group- c'monnn gimme a TinyBomb!
Naw, once things do get going Ill try and take a picture everyday then upload them all per update, I forgot who had done this last year but I loved watching things chug along..
I dont necc know when.. or when not to water, so thats why I am so happy they are even standing.. pretty little tga bitches and your midget leaves... The mix is feeling VERY dry up top, and all "hardened together?"
Helpful advice? Should I squeeze the edges to loosen the soil in case it is compacting?
My last watering was my first ever, "SST..."......scotch's. stupid. tea.
1/3 of 1/3 Cup Kelp
1/3 of 1/3 Cup Alfalfa
handful currently cooking soil mix
Some ZHO
Ooooo... two shotglasses of Molasses (guesstimate.)
All in about a gallon and a half, and wasnt dilluted before I fed it... SO. we'll see how that goes.
I did go ahead and get some Ace of Spades going, through them in the same chamber, help cut consumption, as the PCCs till they sex, my other "active" area is running 20/4 with some SLH and Fruity Chronic Juice
Be safe everyone!

I'll do an update tomorrow or sun. Mine are not doing to well. I just had a white fly invasion. Sprayed everything down with a soap/ neem / alcohol mix. The soap and been doesn't do shit to white flies on their own. So leaves on cups are droopy. I'm waiting for the hydro shop to get ladybugs in stock.

Hyroot. Squish the white flies by hand, do the best not to disturb them while lifting up the leaves looking on the underside and squish the ones you see. They suck fluid from the phloem of the plant which can also attract aphids. That is something you most def do not want! as a single aphid can transmit disease and viruses.
I have come to learn when it comes to IPM that the best preventative measures are before something happens. Meaning usually parasitoids and predators work best when you have their population built up over time and before an infestation even starts. The chances of them completely riding or reducing an infestation after it happens and applying them after they are already their is not as good as if you already had them as preventative measures.
Also I highly rec. ordering lady beetle larvae as they as more prolific at eating pest than adult lady beetles. Plus when they hit their pupae stage they will turn into lady beetles and keep feeding after going through all their instar stages. But the larvae are more prolific eaters on pest, and cannot fly away. If you can get them go with them.
Remember that the soap and alcohol will kill any microbes in your soil or on your plant that could help protect it making it even more susceptible to disease and issues with pests. I would also brew a fungal tea and do a foilar spray, it tends to help coat the leaves and protect the surface, fungi are also known to attach and kill pests themselves.

Also do not wait for the hydro shop go to a nursery as they usually will have them on hand. OR order them which is usually the best.

^^^^^ The nurseries here do not carry any beneficial bugs. They told me to get them online. They hydro shop said Sunday or Monday they will be in stock. I know all about white flies spreading disease. I also have good strong genetics. So there is no damage. I was using Dr .bronners lavender and peppermint soap (organic) and 91 % ISO and neem meal. Diluted. I just sprayed leaves. Then topdressed with castings and watered with a compost tea. I believe its the neem that made them droopy by clogging stomatas

Sounds good. Still no matter how strong genetics are they are susceptible. I'd really look into lady beetle larvae if you can order them. Good luck I wish you the best of luck in ridding them. Reminds me I need order some Dr.bonners shampoo lol

Broke my phone too so any updates I would have I can't post and my last chack was barely enough for rent so ill do my next one in q better place.
