is something eating my plant??

smokeynate · #1 (**permalink**) 07-19-2009, 04:13 AM

do you know what this could be? my plant is growing fine just these holes popped up the other day. The plant has been through some stress being moved around a lot.

Don't know whats eating them, but you should try Monterey Garden Insect Spray.
It contains Spinosad. which is a bacteria that colonizes on the plant. It kills most all eating bugs, including spider mites. It is also certified organic, and inexpensive.

ive been growing for quite a long time now and must say that by far the best way to deal with insects ive ever used are ladybugs. you can find em at almost any decent nursery or plant shop, theyre like $5 for a container of 30 or so and theyre cool n beautiful to boot! They eat most any small critter troubling your plant, wont harm your ladies in any way and can even be put in the freezer and frozen! Nothings funnier that taking ur sweet tea leaves outta the freezer in the winter to make some bubble, to only have 5 or 6 ladybugs come outta cryogenesis and fly around the house with 3 feet of snow out ur window

honestly, i put them in every grow right off the bat, cant hurt in any way and will nip any issues right in the "bud" (sorry for the bad pun

)

Yeps most decent nurseries have em. my local one gets em every week or two, they run out b4 the week ends. cheapest and by far the least harm inducing to your lovely ladies
