that's great! Personally what I enjoy the most is the learning, and I started with a really simple setup knowing that there is much to try and to improve

I'm more excited about the next one actually, there were a few really bad decisions along the way (I planted it almost 5 months ago) Right know I'm still surprised that it got this far, even cactus haven't survived around for long

I got two grow led lamps on a total of 350w on amazon to try it out, and never actually measured the lumens, but they are quite bright and worked out so far 😅 these were the lamps: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09MFCKQ1R/ref=pe_2515531_419610681_fb_remail_prodpg

I'll do that !

the smell is getting intense. It has Yesterday I turned of the carbon filter and left the tent open for a couple if hours and we could sense it from outside the house (the plant is on the second floor)

So I'm finally getting there. After dealing with a process that I consider to have been a happy disaster, with early pests, overfeeding problems, broken stems and cat curiosity issues, I realise how much of a warrior spirit this Monster Skunk has. Learning so much at this point I still don't...

Hey there everyone, I'd like to make my 7th growing week update around this infestations. I've been spraying the soap based insecticide on my plant once a week, and aside from that I've been mixing some diatomaceous earth on my soil (I've put a fair amount so far) and sprinkling around the...

I started feeding them 2 weeks ago. I've been watering them every 3 days because the soil takes a while to dry

that might me a good idea yo try. I'm tempted to try the diatomaceous earth, but I'm doing some research and finding nany ways of applying it. should it just be mixed on the soil? sprinkled around the leaves?

That would require me to use loads of eggs wouldn't it? Then crush them and dilute them in water? (these might be some dumb questions but I never heard about that)

so just to update you guys, everything seems to be holding on. I just found out that Spinosad isn't available in Switzerland anymore so I got a biological insecticide (soap based) ment to be used against these kind of pest (whiteflies, spider mites and aphids. 3 days after I don't have any webs...

and what about those tiny white jumpers on my soil, should I also spray it with spinosad? I don't even know if they are harmful since they've been there from the beginning, but getting rid of them would ease my mind.

I was afraid that having an infestation this early would compromise the whole process. I'll definitely try those methods. Is spinosad a brand or a component? Because I only seem to find some similar products.

Thank you everyone! I just posted it in a different thread (I hope it's on the right place) https://www.marijuanapassion.com/threads/bugs-bugging-should-i-continue.81210/

Hi there, I've been growing my first plant (Monster skunk) indoors in a tent for 3 and a half weeks. While being focused on lights, humidity and temperature I feel that I ignored something important, and I'm suspecting having more that an infestation coming. I'm using an all-round biologic...
