I have been out of the loop for awhile so cut me some slack.
I have done hydro (a lot) never out door. Im helping a friend (or trying to) here are my questions.
1. He has two plants both are sativa and been growing around 8-9weeks. They are both green and seem mostly happy however both have yellow dots on the tops of leaves (aphids right?) at this point would spraying with them with neem oil be a good idea? One plant is yellowing a bit the other is pretty much green beside some damaged leaves I believe from these red bugs that are on them. Little red dots on the leaves, small black dots on the bottoms of leaves, small white dots also though not a lot most the plants are healthy though the smaller of the two has some leaves that point down (which means its unhappy right?) the tops of the plants are green and healthy.
2. He waters them once a day, they look well fed however he is using miracle grow bloom which is high and phosphate seeing as we are at 8-9weeks would it be a good idea to stop feeding them and just give them water?
3. How will I know when there ready? I think by looking at them two more weeks at least I figure let them go until I notice bananas right? Is there a better way to know when to harvest? He has no idea what they are there 8-9weeks old and I figure that at most they will require 12 weeks. I mean right?
So to repeat
1. Do I spray them with neem oil
2. Do I keep feeding them this miracle grow? or just water at this point
3. How can I have a good idea when to cut them, by looking I think 2 weeks (wait for bananas then cut?)
Other questions. Should I worry about bugs on out door plants? Is there a chance to infect a (unused) room in side the house that will be used to grow hydro in a month? I told him to shower before going in the room and chance clothes so not to bring in anything. right? Is there anything else to think of with these plants im missing. I mean let them go till buds start to really tighten up and look done is how I do it with hydro, I don't cut early. Cut them then dry for what 1-2 weeks? right? Then trim and cure for 1-2weeks?
When drying it must be a controlled environment right? so I don't loose to much weight, not to cold not to hot right?
Any websites with info I could refresh my memory on? and thoughts ideas? I will browse around the forum and read up, I just though I could ask some basic questions the main things being just spraying them with neem, when are they ready, bugs a problem? and do I keep feeding them this bloom formula. I don't even know if you need to flush out door plants having never done a out door grow. Thank you for the information sorry if my post is messy, Im not used this forum or the computer in awhile im still getting back into the swing of things.
