    Hey,

    Feel free to take a look at the pictures. Plant is healthy overall I'd say but taking some hits. Hoping to get some ideas on what to do going forward

    I've treated once with an insecticide spray (potassium salt fatty acids) and can do so once a week going forward until flower starts... not sure if that will be good enough though

    Thanks for any suggestions

  2. Those round dots are leafhoppers, and the other damage could be catties.
    If it was my grow, I would have yellow sticky traps placed in and around the plant for the leafhoppers and other fliers, and spray BT (bacillus thuringiensis) all the way through flower to control catties and budworms.

  3. Going forward you can expect an increase in bug activity approching the anti-solstice

    try and use organic chems on your plants for your own sake\

    neem is grand great for both biugs and molds

    good luck

  4. Thanks guys for the advice. Absolutely going to up the defence by placing yellow sticky traps all over. As for the BT and neem - I don't think i have access to those in Canada (please correct me if wrong )

    At this point all i've done is one good spray all over of Safer's Insecticide (potassium salts of fatty acid). Didn't seem to help much - it's recommended to only do one spray a week but wondering if i can get away with more

    What about planting some herbs in the same container ?

    Bugs I've witnessed on the plant: red spider mites, flies, leaf hoppers, earwigs, a few ants
