My Baby Plant Is Under Attack

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by MotoAnt, Jun 14, 2023.

  1. First time grower and am happy happy happy that my plant is doing so well, she's about 2 1/2 feet tall and bushy.

    I've noticed that a few leaves have these little holes so I've been using Neem Oil with no results.

    I feed it FoxFarm Big Bloom and Grow Big every other watering if this info helps.

    Any thoughts on what could be doing this?

    Thanks in advance for any help

  2. Can you get your hands on some Safer's concentrate (EndAll) ? It contains potassium fatty acid salts (ie. insecticidal soap) and a touch of pyrethrin. I mix a tsp of neem in the mix when I make it up. Also, those bites might be from caterpillars (or similar) and can be treated with BT. I suggest not spraying during flower, so best to get it sorted before that time.

    Not sure what BT is.

  4. Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki

    On most sites, we use a biological product that contains Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki, or Btk. Btk is a naturally occurring soil bacteria that interferes with the gypsy moth caterpillars' digestive system, eventually killing the caterpillars.
