Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week 5 of veg.
They have got over their repotting shock and are taking off. Getting some good sized leaves coming out now.
Hoping to get them out in the greenhouse by the end of the month, but it's too cold out there overnight.
I've been using essential oils for a few weeks now, and I'm liking it. I had a recurring spider mite thing going for the last few months.
In my cloning box, I would find a small patch of them and I would buy good bugs to combat pest bugs. But they keep coming back.
I was just trying to keep my medical grow clean. No insecticides no pesticides no fungicides no herbicides.
And I would buy more bugs. I saw it as never ending... So I was looking into something different to combat the pest with.
The site I got those pages from seems to be gone. But I was look up essential oils to see what other sites said about them.
Like I said, I'm liking it. I feel like I've got a sense of control back over the pests and don't mind the smell either, and the plants seem to don't mind it.
There no awful smell or messy greasy feeling I find after I've sprayed insecticidal soap, and the essential oils aren't poisonous either.
I can put a drop in my mouth with no effect. It evaporates off the leaves in a few days and it's pleasant to use
There's some for pests and others for mold and fungus. I find 8 to 10 drops is enough unless you've got an infestation.
Anyway... Like I said... I feel like I've got my sense of control back... Feels Good.... Look into it.. Give it a try...! I'll be using it in my garden this year.
I was in contact with UKHTA Seeds last week and they said they don't mind if I give away my contest winnings of a 50% off code.
Is anyone interested in a 50% off code, has to be used before May 1st 2026 though,
Just privet message me if your interested, so I can see how many are interested.
I'll post it on the questions page next week, if no one is interested.
OK Have Fun.
Chuck.
