welcome to the farm!Hey pals, first time farmer coming at you from the great northeast looking for any tips and pointers! Currently I have three mandarin cookie plants on my back patio. I give them general hydroponics nutes about once a week or every three waterings or so (they are sucking up water roughly every other day just about). Since I transplanted the two big ones on June 4th I have given them nutes about 3 times today being the fourth. I have two in their own 17 gallon tubs and one in an 8 gallon tub (using coast of main in two plants and fox farms in the other). Fan leaf stems are purple but main stalk and stems are green. Basically just looking for any advice as this is my very first time like I mentioned. Thank you
Thanks pal, any suggestions for keeping insects at bay? I’ve noticed some of those shiny like beetles climbing on the leaves every so often and they might have munched on a couple of fan leaves. Also, should I be pruning some of the fan leaves? I’ve been reading some mixed reviews.welcome to the farm!
lots of friendly helpful cool growers from all over!
everything looks good to me!
very nice!
i wouldn’t prune unless your area has low airflow/wind.,Thanks pal, any suggestions for keeping insects at bay?

Diatomaceous Earth works amazing for beatles. It can also promote root growth. I would stick with the food grade stuff. dust your plants with it and dust the top of your soil with it. It cuts the underbellies' of the bugs or just makes it so they don't like to walk or land on it. I don't know if its safe or not to use during flowering. Im new to outdoor growing also. I have been pretty pest free this year using just the DE.Thanks pal, any suggestions for keeping insects at bay?

I live right on a lake, so it’s pretty windy most of time. Very good, thank you! I think I’ll just let them bei wouldn’t prune unless your area has low airflow/wind.,
you’ll get different replies, none being wrong for the most part.
Thank you! I just drilled 1/2” holes all around bottoms of totes. Seems to work because I like to water until I see just the slightest drip come from the holesWelcome! And those plants look really good! What kind of drainage and aeration do you have for the bottom of those totes?
