Damn pest, is there any specific well known brand for neem oil I should be looking for? I’ll be sure to read all of that post as well. ThanksYou have a few passing pests, maybe thrips + others.
In veg, outdoors, I liked to spray plants with diluted neem oil, which seems to repel just about anything.
BTW, don't water by measuring the amount of water you add, water by fully watering the pot. After watering, the side of a cloth pot should be damp.
If you haven't perused this post, have a look.
Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it
Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...www.thcfarmer.com
No nutrients yet, but the soil is organicWhat kind of soil and nutrients are you giving them?

Roots organic original soil to be exact.
Alright, my next watering will be tomorrow. I’ll be sure to make a mental note on how heavy the pots are before and after. Also I’ll be buying some ph up and down because I’m going to need to start using tap water instead of bottled water.Ok, I have never used Roots, but I just looked it up, it has a decent amount of organic fertilizer. So I think it is an irrigation problem, like mystice said, water the soil completely, until runoff comes out the bottom of the pot, then give it a decent amount of time to dry back, that could be anywhere from 2-6 days or so, it depends on alot of factors. The easiest way is to lift the pot after watering, get a feel for how heavy it is, then everyday lift the pot to see how much water is left. Don't water again until at least 50% of the moisture in the soil is gone.

Oh wow, yea I didn’t know about those buffers. Great post you mentioned, great info. Thanks a bunchWhen using the type of soil you have, you do not need to pH the irrigation water. I know so many will tell you different, but the only thing that changes the pH over time is the alkalinity of the water itself, not the pH of it. Soil has buffers that are added for this exact purpose, the only time you would need to pH the irrigation water is when you don't have buffers in the soil, like DWC or coco coir.
Read this post about pH, very insightful. Good luck.
Marijuana pH Levels for Growing Weed: A Basic Explanation
OK I'm going to do my best to explain PH since its something that is for the most part greatly misunderstood and can be confusing to new growers and even experienced growers alike. This will explain why we need both ppm and PH meters to give us informed information about PH This will be a...www.thcfarmer.com
