Loads of organic growers use fox farm mate, I think their nuits are organic nad good to use. but check on the website ot be sure

Awesome it is on my list! Thanks @macky 

Also have some lead hoppers on the outdoors, i think this is why the GG looks a little stressed for it showed bite marks first. Getting some neem oil this week  gotta get on it before they start to flower

You gotta stay on top of that and use Integral pest management mate. Prevention is better than cure with organics. Get the neem, treat the plants and the rest of the grow area, and do that every ten days to prevent bugs getting to the plants

Also, make some compost tea from local compost, it will have microbes in that the plant can build an immune system with, and that will also prevent bugs, and stop the plant being eaten.

Yeah I am ordering the neem oil tomorrow! Every ten days you say? Roger that @macky

I do have some neem meal, would sprinkling that as a top dress help or build it into the soil after harvest

 

Yeah they had a compost tea about a month ago. I'm alternating compost teas and straight kelp/alfalfa teas every two weeks and next up is the compost tea

Day 40, curious what peoples rules are for lst for autos and autos in flower. I put up the trelis and bent the hindus over a bit to get more light to the bud nodes and keep the height down a bit. Is it ok to bend em around at this stage?

Only thing you have to worry about when bending in flower is snapping...real easy to snap limbs as they're now set and plants are using energy to grow buds...be careful ?

Autos real easy to stress 😉

I agree mate, any training when flowers have formed is dangerous, the branches will snap much easier then in veg, and the time lost from stress cant be made up. Be very careful mate, but f you can just leave her to do her thing

use some canes mate, you know like bamboo sticks or something? ut them in the pot, and secure the branches to it, it'll give stability, but less likely to break as you can move the stick to where you want it to be. 

Some say it helps the buds grow fatter, as the plant spend less energy on building the strong stems, and more energy on the buds

Got the neem oil! By a mix up in address by the sender I ended up with two bottles ( found one locally while figuring out where the first one went lol)  did a spray few days ago doing another on Friday . The gorilla glue is a bit thin and light green but the others are looking sooo good

 

The autos have a few more weeks so pumped.
