Thanks fellas!
I might as well document my battle in hopes that I can: 1) beat them and, if successful, 2) help someone else out in their time of need when faced with the same issue. Which from what I have heard/read this is the one pest you wish you'll never encounter...One you wouldn't even wish on your own worst enemy...just my luck that's the one I get in my first real battle with a true killer. I get fuckin' Thanos for my first tango...and he's/they're fuckin microscopic, wtf!??
Upon arrival I should have quarantined them for longer and hit them harder than I did and I'm sure I could have avoided this whole mess. It's my fault for going against my own rules of not bringing in cuts to begin with, as well as not doing my due diligence to ensure they were clean. I found less than 10 total over the dozen or so leaves I checked. So, here they are now.
The funny looking budsites on the one in flower.
I know it's hard to see, they're so small and couldn't get it to focus, but something just looks off to me.
Moved them away from everything else. Stripped em down and hit em with a heavy slurry of Dr.Bronner (citrus, mint, and tea tree) on every inch of every plant and top soil. Then hit with a layer of neem seed meal on top soil and main stalk. I've got some more up my sleeve to add to the mix shortly also.
Anyway, enough of the bad...let's move on to some brighter news! I chopped the Banana Fruit Snax.
I couldn't keep this girl happy for the life of me. But I think she's truly special! Despite the fact that I could never actually make her happy and green she grew fast, smells amazing?, and threw down some chunky dense nug meat. I am confident that dialed in she would be nothing short of spectacular! I have cuttings of her backed up that are green. I'll have another go at her and probly dust her with something.
Slymeball F2 getting her dry on. Gonna be ready to trim any day now! ?
