Poor little ts2 is just not having a good time. First he got kicked over and then my finger got stuck between him and my loup and I broke him! I keep calling him a him because I don't wanna hurt it if it's a girl.
I think the mites are actually broad mites, root aphids or a combo of two different mites. I've been battling them for weeks and it's taken a toll on my plants.
I'm calling this one a male even tho the stipules are crossed. Males are usually the first ones to grow and the last ones to show. It'll be nice if it's a girl too but it looks like it might be growing balls.
Notice the red on the petioles, that's why I sprinkled a bit of epsom salts on the coco. I give 5ml/gal calmag every watering, some plants just want more magnesium.
