Hey, I've been having some problems,
About a week ago, I saw grass hoppers on my plants, eating the hell out of everything, I killed about 4-5 , and shoot ALL of the plants around it to see if anything would get spooked and jump out, well, I got all that I could see/hear.
Thing is, I keep going out , and finding more, and more leaves half way chewed off and shit, and it's starting to become a problem because they are now eating the top of my plant, the new growth, causing deformites. Now, to extract revenge, I took the largest grasshopper and smashed his ugly little body under a rock.(Still made me feel bad though, maybe Im crazy)
But that doesn't fix my problem
Every day theres maybe a new 1/2 of a leaf missing, which , In the large picture, isn't much, but I know if I dont deal with them now, they will start to eat the buds (plant is 1 or 2 weeks into flower)
I have sprayed with neem oil, that worked for the mites and leaf hoppers.
Also, do larger plants take alot longer to flower? I have mainly the same size plants, (around 2 ft), and then I have one 4-5 ft plant.
All of my plants seem to be OBVIOUSLY flowering, but my large plant just keeps putting out preflowers.
