how old do the plants have to be before you start adding neem oil to their feed? i dont have any pests or anything but I heard its beneficial for the plants to receive some neem during veg.

is it safe to use these during flowering? i have a white widow with 4 more weeks left of flowering and i still see little thrips crawling around the top soil. all the yellow sticky traps & organic neem oil i've been giving my plant has not completely eliminatd them. someone recommend these...

I guess I will cut them early ... What happens if not all the thrips are killed/shaked off though? Will they destry my buds while they are drying?

My plants are a few days away from harvest and I found thrips on a piece of bud I cut off to sample. What should I do? I gave my last watering (+ molasses) today so I am going to cut these plants soon. Need advice on how to proceed. Thx

I have a WW mother plant that is 2-3 months old and about 3ft tall. I noticed today there were little female pre-flowers (white pistils) on a couple branches. I dont want this plant to bud so I keep t5's on her 24/7, but a couple days ago I had a power outage and they were out maybe 8-9 hours...

i'm fighting some kind of mold/fungus problem too. it doesnt show up as a white powdery substance, its more like a dark splotches that spread all over and curl the leaves until they look deformed/eaten...i think my plant got it because my humidity was too high and my room was really dusty. i...

I ordered a fungicide (some stuff called Serenade) and i sprayed with a baking soda solution in the meantime because I was told that helps stop the mildew from spreading. I just want to be extra careful by cutting the leaves that were most affected.

i am a newb so i took peoples advice and got the fox farm oceanforest soil. its 100% organic i think, very good for growing herb. except for shiping cost it was pretty cheap, i think under $20. i also got the tri-pack of fox farm nutes which include grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom. my plants...

I made the painful decision today to trim some leaves off my mother plant because I'm fighting off a mildew infection. I cut about 9 shade leaves with signs of the fungus. I want to know if this will stress the plant to the point of creating a hermie? And How long does it take for the plant to...

it looks like i have early stages of 2nd and 3rd. i'm going to buy one of those sprays and put a better filter on my intakes because my room is really dusty. is there any danger in using those sulfur vaporizers? because i'm kind of paranoid about that stuff.

I have noticed recently that my plant is developing little small fuzzy white-ish spots on its leaves. They look like mold to me. I am pretty certain its not spider mites or anything like that since this problem only started happening after I added a humidifier (my humidity was at 20, now its at...

when I started out in early Oct I was using a 400w hps but I couldnt keep the temps under control, so I switched to a 2' 4-bulb T5 HO setup for veg. I dont know the watts of each bulb but it says it puts out 8,000 lumens total. Do you guys think this is enough for two plants? I was going to buy...

yea, i let my tap water sit overnight, then i add nutes,adjust ph, and then check ph again right before feeding. it was a solid 6.7. the runoff was slightly more acidic for some reason (6.0 according to my liquid tester)v

if i add some dolomite lime to the surface of the soil do you think that would help on my next watering?

it was time to water my plants today, so i fed them with a nute solution that as ph'd at 6.5.. checked the runoff pH and it was 6. that means my soil pH is lower than 6 right? i'm using ff ocean forest, what should i do to fix this or is that big a deal?
