No and no. I have so many tomatoes I just make some every few days. I’m experimenting myself. but to be safe I keep inside or cool spot and use the next morning. I use on all my vegetable garden as well as my weed.
Soap burnt plants :-(

What’s your general location? I am South-West Ontario and my veggie garden outside is amazing. Tomatoes are doing exceptionally well this year, but I added a bail of promix hp to the soil as well. The Cucs starting just this week to have a bit of powdery mildew on base leafs but the old baking soda water spray takes care of that! Lol

Shores of Lake Ontario. Our tomatoes were over 7 feet last year, amazing yield, had to give some away. Hot peppers, still have some orange habaneros, bhut jolokia in the freezer, and a string of dried ring-of-fire. This year, well, see the pic. Tomatoes, looks like we'll get 3.

Wow that’s crazy! So what do you think was the big difference this year? Shores of Lake Ontario, I grew up around pectin and Belleville when I was young.

I think it started with the fluctuations in temperature this Spring. They were kinda wild for a while there. Last year summer started in the second week of May, and just kept going. This year it didn't settle down till June.

I can’t remember exactly how much soap I used but it was just soap and water. My leaves did the exact same thing as leeskis. Maybe the concentration was too strong? But they did not like it lol.

There have been a bunch of threads recently about people using dish soap on their plants, at least one a noob using it at the direction of a hydro store employee, and it burning/killing their plants. Wonder what's going on?

The only thing I can think of that messed my ladies up was the soap has a lot of aloe Vera in it so wondering if that may have caused the damaged just clutching at straws one things for sure won’t happen again every days a school day !

Yes they did, I removed the effected leaves and carried on vegging for another couple of weeks. I wondered if the stronger soap concentration I had, clogged up the stomatas!?

I took all burnt leaves off and they have been in intensive plant care it was touch and go whether they lived or died they have pulled through and are showing new growth and no signs of pests I’m not out of the woods yet but fingers crossed .
School boy error - it was my chilli plants that were carrying the mites DOH

a common mistake is the use of soapy pecticide, avoid using these as they will have adverse effect on your final cut, especially by spraying them. THC is not water soluble but repeated use will result in a loss of trichrome.
spraying also adds more water/weight making plants easier to bend over/fall over.
finally applying during day time can cause burns on plants, due to water droplets acting as magnifying glasses.
Overall, avoid soapy pesticides next time, goodluck

Fair comment but when you have pests what you do ? Ask them to leave ?a common mistake is the use of soapy pecticide, avoid using these as they will have adverse effect on your final cut, especially by spraying them. THC is not water soluble but repeated use will result in a loss of trichrome.

I use to be one of them people that would treat whatever problem came about, but now I am all about prevention! Why, cause anything you spray onto your plant will be in someway ingested by the plant. And it don't matter what it is, it will in someway end up in your harvest. For example... I know lots of people use neem oil to combat mites and other bugs, but I would never do that because even natural things like neem oil can be very toxic to people who have type 1 and type 2 diabetes. And while that might not be a problem for many other people it is becoming more of problem today because more than half the population in the world are either borderline, type 1, or type 2 diabetics.
Anyhow... for prevention, if growing in pots outdoors just plant some sweet clover in the pots with your cannabis plants. And just by doing that you will create a impenetrable pest barrier that will keep your cannabis plants free from any pest that could harm them. How n' Why... cause once your sweet clover grows the pirate bugs will come and make it their home and where pirate bugs live other pests run or they will be killed off rather quickly... And if you are not growing in pots outdoors, just plant some sweet clover in your garden or near the plants you want to protect from pests, or if you are growing indoors, plant some sweet clover into some small 1 gallon pots, then leave them outside in a shady place for a few days, so that some pirate bugs can find it, then in the morning right before the sunrises, bring a pot inside into your grow area, and place it in the corner and I guarantee you that you won't ever have another pest problem, or if you do have a pest problem, it will be gone very quickly! And as a side note... sweet clover is also one of the most beneficial companion plants, as its root system releases power oxidants that actually revitalizes the soil it is grown in!
