    Omg I feel so stupid. It's morning now and I checked my plants, I noticed the darkness was almost gone, upon further inspection I notice that it wasn't mold or anything BUT the hard rain kicked up the soil so it stuck to the bottom of the leaves and with all the water on top and under it it was a little transparent and the soil showed through the leaves making it look like mold. To make sure I rubbed the soil off under the leave and sure enough the dark spots disappeared. But this was not for nothing, I learned a lot last night about mold and how to prevent it, I also learned that H2O2 not only treats root rot it prevents it and feeds the root with oxygen! :D


    I know Resinrubber I need to relax ^^

    I missed something somewhere so I have a few questions. Is this your only plant? Do you even know if it's a female?

    even if you were to have to spend 22 bucks on everything and it turned out to cost you 200 300 or even 400 dollars on this plant at the end of the year when you have 1500 bucks because you spent the money to keep it healthy then tell me its not worth it.


    yes that is a rediculas amount but you get the point. plus it is a concentrate so you will have it for years even if you have to use it every year.

    Fucking little buggers already picking at my shit lol. Going to get that neem oil monday. I did however mix 1 teaspon of 3% H2O2 with a cup of water and sprays my leaves lighting and watered it near the steam. H2O2 is unstable and it will break down to oxygen which will feed the plant.

    No need. The amount of O2 reaching the roots from a mister are negligible if existent at all. Leaves absorb CO2, roots absorb oxygen so it does nothing for the leaves either.


    Edit: Another thought. H2O2 directly into a soil also affects any natural microbial activity negatively. This activity is what allows your plant to feed effectively on any organic nutrients available. Unless I was treating something specific I'd keep it out of my soil.


    Seriously man. Walk away from your plant for awhile and resist the urge to check on it.
