Hawaii Growers

image.jpeg image.jpeg This is my Blue Hawaiian Sativa. Planted from germinated seed on 4/14. Other than the fact that it is flowering early (which I'm learning happens here in Hawaii if you don't supplement light schedules!) and its only 43 cm or 17 inches tall, how does it look? Other than Foxfarm nutrients, I've added nothing. I hate the Leaf Miners, but they are always on my plants on fan leaves, and don't seem to bother the plants otherwise. Any suggestions from seasoned growers is welcomed! I used Foxfarm soil and added a little more Perlite to it.

Are you using 100% cold pressed Neen Oil with a little castille soap to control the leaf miners? Just started my first grow but had hell to pay with leaf miners on my tomatoes last year. Then I was using the diluted, not pure version of Neem.

I haven't used anything, although I do have the Neem oil (yes - 100% and I use regular dish soap) but this year they just recently showed up. Since they appeared after flowering, I wasn't sure if I should spray the plants - will it affect my buds?? Thanks for your input!
 
If you just have a couple leaf miners you can pluck them out of the leaves with any small pointed object. If you have a lot, try spinosad, one treament is usually all it takes, and it is listed organic. They are pretty much harmless though besides making your leaves look ugly.
That plant you posted is still early enough to spray neem, but I would spray more as a preventative measure than to treat that one leaf with the miner damage.
