I mixed up the pyrethrin/rotenone insecticide and put it on my plants. On one hand, they stopped getting worse, so that's good. On the other hand, the stuff I put on them smelled strongly of mineral spirits/kerosene in its concentrated form. I accidentally got a few drops of the diluted mix on one of my plants and it killed the leaves that it got on. Why the hell do they mix that stuff with kerosene? The lady at the nursery said it wouldn't hurt my plants, shows what she knows.

I STILL don't know for sure what my problem is.
khronik Reviewed by khronik on . Plants not doing so good... possibly insects My plants are all growing kind of slowly, but now they're starting to look like they have problems. They're two weeks old now, and they're under T12 daylight fluorescent lights. I haven't fertilized them at all. They're mandala hashberry and satori plants, and fertilizer wasn't recommended. They're growing in straight topsoil, that I bought from my local nursery. This soil is very loose, and could probably use some peat so it holds water better, but it's too late for that.
