I have some massive bags of masterblend, stuff is like crack to tomatoes and costs little to nothing for how much it feeds but I've been pretty bad at assessing when they actually ran out of juice in their soil and needed to start getting feed. Everythings been blowing up again despite the heat but now I've got mites/thrips and no amount of spinosad/neem will make them fuck off its driving me nuts. Actually bought some predator mites to see if I can make a normal ecosystem or something.
Yeah I was going really good but then my cherry tomato plant got mites really bad, i noticed nothing and then within 3 days they were all webbed up and very visible. Then i put off treating them. But i got some bullshit spray that plugs into my hose because it specifically said it gets spider mites, but i think it's either weak af or more of a fungicide treatment. It's halted their tearing through my plants but they're still there, fuckin them up.
I thought about buying predator mites but they're so fucking expensive it's like ughh i might as well just buy tomatoes. Ive only got two plants in pots, a roma tomato plant and the cherry tomatoes. Thankfully they're not destroying the roma plant as bad but they're still infesting the cherry tomatoes
