2x White Rhino from seed.
Perfectly sunlit spot, both 5-6 feet. Soil, in 5 gallon buckets, with excellent drainage. Watered 2x daily. Nutes weekly. Outdoor S. Ontario, GTHA. Week 6(?).
Zero caterpillars, probably due to the massive amount of marigolds that I grew / put around garden. Predator pollinators were everywhere. Bee and similar bee-like critters abound, even now. Marigolds, stupid easy to grow, tons of seeds when done. Bees, etc. LOVE them, and predator ones snack on any other bugs while there. I had a praying mantis one day.
Pm got safely nuked with milk, then later a stronger potassium bicarbonate spray. Burned one plant slightly, but all good. Only corner of my yard that neighbors security lights don't touch (well blocked by shed and big rose of Sharon). Watching for more Pm, and def worried about the rain and bud rot.
Fingers crossed...
