Amnesia Haze Automatic - Organic Outdoor

This week was a rough one. First, I had a rogue slug that I just could not get rid of on my orange sherbets - but I persisted and hunted him down, finding the bugger camping out under one of the bags. I added some diatomaceous earth to try prevent them coming back. Then my plants went from being ahead of schedule to almost dying completely. An extremely hot day caught me off guard and nearly decimated all of them. They appeared to handle the heat fine during the day, but after I could see that they were hurt pretty bad. I was worried about them being completely stunted, but after a few days they started to continue veg. I think I lost a week maybe of veg maybe which really sucks with autos, so unfortunately I think this will affect the final size of these girls and their yield. But hey, this is nature after all! I gave a good dose of kelp to try and assist with the healing. Started feeds this week. I'm trying a silicon product for the first time, part of my mission to proactively fight powdery mildew, which I get almost every grow. According to hydroponics.co.za where I bought it: "Silicon Plus is a soluble silica liquid, fortified with potassium, enhances plant resistance to a biotic stresses such as drought, heat and cold and biotic stresses such as resistance to pests and diseases. Can help with Penicillium digitatum (green mold), Sclerotinia stem rot, Rust, Fusarium wilt, Powdery mildew, Red spider mite, Root knot nematod" Helps against heat stress too? I should have read that a week ago! 😭 Peace, fellow growers ✌️🌱
