Surprised if this one makes it. Only didn't toss cause it's the only one I have. Bad root rot and whiteflies. Applied insecticide. Note: different from the others, switched nute solution from nitrogen heavy to more p &k. Used bloom feeding schedule at half strength (as opposed to full) to focus more on roots and be more gentle on the surgery just done. In kratky too long. Had root rot. I washed roots, trimmed then back to more white roots, soaked in hydrogen peroxide solution (1tsp/gal of water) for a few min, cleaned jar, added fresh nutes, and trimmed leaves (about as much as roots 1/3) since less roots to support existing plant size. |
