True @highcountrygal, you are absolutely right! They will grow, they will smell and they will burn;)

Hope I didn’t speak too soon…
Some weird bumps underneath the leaves, it looks like the spots got filled with fluid, can see when light is shinong from the other side! It isn’t any bug on the outside it’s like tiny blisters that are dark when you litt the leaves and look through them.
Sorry, couldn’t take a better pic

Well it looks like you’ve got some visitors, may want to search very carefully. To eliminate the possibility of an infestation

@rumpelstiltskin it’s not so much the ones on the surface it’s their maggots that love tender new shoots. They are in the soil and you may not see them. Diatomacious Earth (spelling) in your soil helps. Mix it in and when you transplant add some to your soil. I have them as well even though I am outside they bother everything, tomatoes etc.

You could always try a thin layer of washed river sand as a barrier on top of your existing soil, it will stop any eggs from hatching from in the soil and also acts as a mulch and disperses water evenly when watering.

Ok time for an update😏
Paranoia is still green and kicking, wooohooo!
She has barely grown up standing now at 5,5 inch…but boy did she spread those wings and managed to grow some sets within that half an inch😳
She is having some more of those white pistils that are tiny just on the top though, down under nothing but growing out.
Her little sister had some rough time but I think she is getting around. Probably light stress as her first set of leaves want from green to limeish to green again. I moved her away from the light and green started growing again. She is a photo though so will see how she goes. Big bug is in ground but didn’t peak out yet and the bag seed experiment is slowly trying to get out of the shell in a tiny ridiculous starter cube. Might drop that one outside somewhere as I don’t know what it is …and I am not risking raising a boy inside:P
So that’s that, I will be limiting my presence here as have shit load of work to sort out in the next two weeks woth full time work, freelancing and research to do and write up that is due way to soon for my liking:/

The digital microscope arrived and off course I didn’t play long with it…now the dad and kids are having fun😂
Neem oil arrived as well but I am not sure if I should use it, only two fan leaves have those bubbles like marks, it didn’t spread and I still don’t see creatures. DE arrived as well and I think I will sprinkle it on the ground just in case as it’s less invasive than neem oil or do you think I should do both? Don’t want to stress her unnecessarily.
Big bud has shown his bits;) and Bag Seed is standing tall and peeking through the bottom of his tiny house…need to find a place asap for this little bastard, however, I can’t put it in my garden:/ soooooo…somewhere secluded or not😂 But far away from my garden just to see how it does.
Also while we all had fun with the digital microscope our relationship has reached a new spirituality level! …we are not touching each other anymore, we are disgusting in close up😂
@highcountrygal @mulegal @blackthumbbetty and rest:)
Looking good @rumpelstiltskin. Not sure about the neem oil, as I’ve never used it. I didn’t see the leaf damage. But overall I think she looks healthy and happy.
And don’t discount that bag seed baby just yet. No harm with it getting the same love and care as others until adolescence when you’ll know whether to continue or destroy. Sometimes these unknown seeds bring surprising results.

I’d hold off on the neem oil, but definitely use the de.

I have been neglecting the forum but defo not my babies;)
First Paranoia, she got some yoga going on right now and hopefully I am doing it right;)
Then we have Little Sister aka California Indica who got a dramatic haircut today…will see how it goes. Little Sis is a photo so this is for her own good;)
Big bud auto is taking its sweet time still in diapers;)
Bag seed moved outside and although not progressing much she is still alive in the flower bed😁 As long as she isn’t visible or stinking she will remain it there…will see later.

I have found a fungus gnat in the soil, I turn over the top soil and it was just hanging in the dill-parsley-chieves trio…so everyone got a DE treatment, yellow sticky cards are up and trio got evicted from the tent:P I can get my dill in grocery store…they don’t carry Big bud or PPP there though😂

Looking great! Me and fungus knats went round for round this April in my grow room. I used about 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide to a gallon of water\nutes every time I watered my girls. Doesn’t get rid of them but allows my roots to get air. The fungus gnat larvae use the bathroom in your soil and make it hard to drain properly.
