Ok What Is Wrong

Ok have problem with Aphids on my Tomatoes and gave in using a stronger Spray.

Plus I give them a good spary of water and put some Marigolds close.

What I am wondering is why can't use a stronger spray before bloom. I was even considering after bloom and wash your Buds?

And why can't use regular Fertilizer?

Not did but thinking. Some are saying you consume it but you consume vegetables too.

Why can't I use a stronger anti pest spray on my weed plants, similar to what is recommended in vegetable gardens? Can I bud wash if I DO use a strong IPM spray and still be safe? If I'm not in flower is it still unsafe?

Why do I have to use weed specific fertilizers, not just general plant nutrients?

Is that what you're asking, oldguy?

Bud wash good, bud spraying bad.
Ok on Bud wash some say you lose THC.

Spraying thinking more before Bloom and what about fertilizer?

Hey I'm just asking. My Baby Sister is all Organic on regular Garden.

Kind of funny I lived by the Amish for years and figured all organic. Wrong they garden just like me even spraying with Sevin.

Mode of administration of the drug is the issue. Vegetable intake is usually by mouth, cannabis is usually combusted or vaped so you would look at something like tobacco as a congener unless you are making edibles then vegetables work.

Well just checked the Tomatoes and they are clean but think I'm losing a Banana Tree. I sprayed it with Dawn and Peppermint mix and think it was already too far gone.

Preventative treatment is key. Get them bug free before bud formation. Good, consistent airflow will help alot. I use one of those tower fans, hung horizontally just above the bud line to cover my whole cannopy.

Edit: use spinosad and neem before bud formation and it should have some preventative benefits.

Thing with Neem want to use it during Lights out or just before or it will burn.

But this is an idea I have not tried.

Is Neem stronger than anything else for Weed?

I have Fans in my Tent. And now have Fans in my Greenhouse but my plants that are outside have just the breeze they get.

We do both. Big nice Buds get smoked.

Interesting on Neem used on Tobacco.

I was going to use Neem on my Tomatoes but was talked into using another spray mainly because I was having such a fit.

Been being as Organic as I can and having the best of Garden Stuff.
