Hey growers
I've got a fine update for ya'll...Tempering the amount of PK booster I'm giving is paying of. Thanks @Twenty20 Adam for that!!
Ogreberry King Band - day 56
Wednesday late in the evening after the sun went under I sprayed the whole greenhouse with some Spinosad as the aphids were getting the upper hand...

Two weeks before that I sprayed some pyrethrum around, but now that everything is so late in season I chose to spray the Spinosad. This only works when wet and has to make contact with the aphids themselves.

I have a large 15L backpack style sprayer with a lever to pump while you carry it. And mixed up a full can. I sprayed the entire greenhouse from top to bottom and went underneath all the leaves until everything was soaking wet. Even the buds weren't spared and branches were hanging because of the weight of the water added.

Today I went inside the greenhouse curious how the plants responded to their treatment and was pleasantly surprised to see the plants relishing the fact that all those pesky aphids were dried up dead and sticking to the undersides of large fanleaves.

These young ladies though didn't show much proof of being attacked as most aphids were on the SSSC sister next to them.

Guess they don't like high nitrogen leaves
