My plant got leaf borers

My four plants White widow, and Black Widows, Chronic Widow. have leaf borers. I took the leaves off, just the infected leaves. and topped them. they are a foot high. and in grow pots on my deck. I also sprayed them with a mixture of neem oil and BT. Will continue for another week. or two, until under control. Not showing pictures, because it is embarrassing. Plus, the weather has been cold and rainy, they are under cover on the deck until the sun wants to shine. It is what it is. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I use a product called “8” and another called jacks dead bug. I spray once a week till flowering and only in an emergency after that. They say use day before harvest, but I hate spraying buds with anything.

Many will say I’m crazy, but I invest so much time, money and effort, and want to be sure we get some medicine out of these plants.

Each year we leaen more and get better reaults.

I put the yellow stickers on and have got some flies and other little critters. What Jacks Dead bug do you use. last year I used Captain Jacks flower and vegetable garden dust and when I sprayed it on my plants it left white specks on it So I didn’t use it again. Your girls look absolutely Awesome :sunglasses:

I have my plants in grow pots, so are you saying I should spray the soil it is growing in instead of the plant? :sunglasses:

Thankyou

These are what my widows look like now. I Think they would have more growth, but we have had a lot of rain up here in Vermont and no much sunshine.
