You're right about neem in bloom, you could try applying neem with a cloth and only hitting the fan leaves and leave the bid sites alone. Also if you have pyrethrin I would try that! I'm not sure if diatomaceous earth works on whiteflies but you could research into that. With pyrethrin you only want to hit the fan leaves as well!
Aren't the white fly eggs in the soil? Try a neem soil drench...I could be mistaken, maybe I'm thinking of gnats.
Whiteflies lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves, a lot(maybe all, but there's always an exception to the rule) of gnats lay in soil http://www.ghorganics.com/whiteflies.html
Yep, you're right just looked it up. I have read all this before but for fucks sake I just can't retain any knowledge lol. That's why almost all my posts end with IMO, or if I'm not mistaken.
Lol I hear ya! But yea they lay on the leaves so Its best to check the leaves for eggs and crush them manually, coat the leaves with pyrethrin to kill on contact and then the neem oil for a longer lasting repellant as the oil evaporates much slower!
Lol, you're more than welcome to message me with questions! If there's something I don't know I always look it up and usually remember it for the most part unless I'm more high than usual! I actually enjoy doing research as long as I find the topic somewhat interesting.
Hey there fellow northerners! Finally made it to my dry garden after another 2 weeks away! Everything is looking really nice so far! So far I'm most impressed with the White Lavender! Its a solid 9' tall and budding along really well! Its one of the furthest into flower so far and has the nicest bud structure in my garden IMO. The FlowerBomb Kush is coming along as well. Its still the darkest green of all my plants and is the slowest to start flowing. The node are quite tight compared to most of the other plants. I'm hoping it catches up with the others and finishes in time! The short pheno of the Blue Widow is doing g nicely and has started building some decent top colas! The taller pheno is also doing really well. It has started flowering nicely and is filling out. They are nice and branchy compared to the shorter pheno with colas starting to form nicely! Anyways I fed each plant a 1/4 cup of flowering bat guano on Saturday morning and gave them each 2 gallons of water! Compared to July august has been quite dry but my large holes in clay filled with peat based super soil absorb a lot of water as the clay surrounding isn't nearly as absorbent! Peace & Love PyspherE
Very nice. I dont think they will get any taller, they will only fatten up from here out.. its always a good possibility that it will start budding and just blow by the rest. My sativa was budding 4 weeks before my indicas and now my indicas are way past my sativa
Looks great man! Can't wait to see some harvest pics. I also just got back from my garden. We had a really hard rain and wind that beat the garden up pretty good. I shook all the plants off and propped a few back up. Some look amazing, the northern lights unfortunately does not. It's my largest plant, with the biggest buds but the crystal formation is minimal to this point. But some of the others...damn..straight up stanky trichome covered buds. Look denser than I predicted too.
Them are huge.. mine was small the last time I checked. That was a week ago. I been to busy to get in..
good luck, I'm adjusting my timeline. I think I'll be able to have a few down by the end of September, some the first week in October and a few mid October-Halloween.
I dont think mine will survive a late October finish. They will freeze unless global warming kicks in this year
Most should survive until Oct 20 or so depending on the year! That's when I'm planning to bring most of mine in! The white lavender and blue widow will both be into the second half of Oct. The kush WAS supposed to be my early finisher but that's not looking so promising now!
