many many off shoots

[Cunjo420]

Here I got 2 plants, 1 in pot 1 in ground. I got major problem with something eating my leaves, I am fighting aphids( every day I scrub them off the plant)
Still didnt buy any insecticid.
I managed to get alot of close shoots with LST and now I am thinking off tying top down and leave it like it is. But on second plant directly in ground I got some problems with leaves being "Lazy" sick they are small and dont look so green.
Any tips?

Natural Guard Spinosad Soap will organically take care of your pests while not contaminating your crop.
Do not use on plants which attract pollinators, as it is toxic to bees and butterfly caterpillars as well

Do You have any perlite or leca in the mix of soil ??

you can use ISO alcohol with water at night time for the aphids.
50/50 solution. It helped my plants

no I dont

Could be this is why your plant is a little sick. The lack of oxygen to the roots

Ladybugs will be your best friend. A note on spinosad, dont use it on buds it is being banned all over.

Someone had a very nice thread going last year about hatching out an army of praying mantises and letting them run loose among the weed. If I weren't feeling so lazy, I'd search for it.
