How to stop flowering? And troubles

9 years ago

Hi everyone. Does anyone ask that? I 've made a lot of corrections to my AVs (ph, light, fertilizer, others). I'm doing best at being patient, as I know I have to wait for the plant to grow healthier. I want the plant to focus on the plant & not the flowers now, but they keep kicking out buds!

I have a few pics to show a few problems to help me identify. Looking through Optimara, I lean towards the problems related to ph, nutrients, water--- but all those differentials include mites! Which I don't want of course! I don't want to toss any yet as I'm trying to learn through all the mistakes I made & see how the plants adjust or react.

Also, something is chewing on the leaves -- can you help me with a pesticide? Would neem work? Or do I need something stronger like Avid?

i don't see any bugs anywhere (except a few gnats) but the chewing damage on the middle leaf This plant is a lighter green leaf & it is pale- but i believe it's from too much light

#2 above--middle leaf chewed on . leaf @ 6 o'clock Seems hard& brittle, funny texture

#3 above. I took this pic because I thought it had multiple issues. Brown spots on multiple leaves, maybe powdery mildew on leave at 1 & 6 o'clock ?


thanks for any more advice!
