Ah nice. Actually reached well into the 90's here today and muggy. Bleeeh...

I need some good recommendations on pest maintenance products. I found a ladybug crawling around the plant today, which I think they are OK, but I want to be on the preventative side of pest control...any thoughts or products that people have used in the past with good luck?

lady bugs are fine, natural predators for spider mites/aphids. watered down neem oil sprayed on the plant works good up to week 4 flower max.

Thanks again for the input. I will give that a try. Haven't seen any other bugs at all so far but it never hurts to prevent!

Hey all just a couple pics at day 20 for the newest girl.

You can see how bent her trunk is lol LST is a crazy thing, she is now growing across the ground like a slithery snake!!

Seems like she will remain very short and bushy until I throw her into flower. Thanks for watching.

Appears to be some good new growth just overnight. I hopefully can get her trained around the outside edge of the whole pot within 2-3 more weeks before I throw her into flower, but that may not be doable, we will see. Not a huge rush or anything and I would like to wait until she makes it around the whole rim of the pot. Color seems to be looking OK still except for a few of the older and lower leaves on the plant that seem to have a few spots on them. Possibly nute burn?

Going to give her a feeding within the next day or two, and bend the new growth over as well. Thanks for checking her out.

Just a tip when youre circlimg the outside of the pot remember that you need to keep the top even with the lower branches that are growing up. Also need room to water otherwise youre dumping water on top of your plant. Looking good so far. Keep it up.

Well guys I just had my first bit of real idiocy and noobism just happen...went to bend her fresh growth over and snapped her trunk right in half because I was being an over aggressive idiot...not going to lie, I am pretty devastated right now...lol geez

My question now is....do I leave the broken in half plant in the dirt to keep going or rip her out and start over?

aww bummer man, that sucks

is there a reason you are growing it that way?
better to just top it and lst the branches. if you break a branch you can just tape it back on. break the main stalk and you're screwed.

best of luck on your next try man.

try and tape it, maybe you can save it.
if you just pulled the top off and it has nodes to grow branches leave it man.
should be ok if that is the case
