What is my status? Am I in good hands? | | Ok Germinated them around the 20th of June. I have four plants side by side. The tallest is almost 3ft while the others are around 1.5 to 2 ft tall. It's been about 5-6 weeks since I put them in the ground outside. I've been watering them about 4-5 times a week, using a full bucket of water. Lately it's been real dry lately and getting around 90-100 degrees.
I would say it is probably a 5 gallon bucket. Is this too much or not enough?
I am going away to college at the end of August. What should I do? Will they be flowering by then? Could I just leave them for a month, w/o attending them?
I still cannot see any signs of male or female. Is this normal? There are little tiny spikes kind of at the base of each branch on all the plants.
I have been feeding them Miracid every two weeks. Which is plant food that gives proper acidity or somethinig like that. Will this work for food?
Lastly, I'm getting some bugs eating away at the leaves. They are little green leaf hopper things. I also noticed some ants, a spider, and so forth.
They already ate a 3 week old plant in half! How do i get rid of them? |
