Take swift action or not?

[MonkeyShow]

Ok so I've been growing indoors for right at 10 years and haven't done the nature thing since I was a teenager. I have one little lady that made it out of 80 that were started this year most died do to scheduling issues 10 were eaten by bugs while in infancy and 6 were eaten by a logging skidder. 2 survived and how poetic that one be male and one be female (%.... Math FTW). My approach to all pest inside is spray treat and then disinfect and sterilize everything instantly because indoors infestations don't happen gradually they tend to happen like bombs!!! I have noticed that outside it doesn't seem happen quite that way.
Now to my question do I foliar spray and risk mold to my regions really high humidity or, do I seven dust every living plant around it or the third option I let the spider that has taken residence figure it out? It seems to only be a few leaves outta dozens.


p.s. the slight yellowing is I'm pretty sure from the 100 plus weather we've had for about 2 months now and only getting worse which is also baffling cause if I did that indoors she'd been toast by now

Once the plant gets up and healthy, the bugs will leave it alone for the most part, but you will never stop them in there tracks. Some water with a couple drops of liqued soap on them close to sun set will help and the more spiders the better

I had to spray and I started foliar feeding with bloom and molasses.

I'm kind of baffled by all the molasses use here ...I know it is high in nutes but doesn't it attract all kinds of bugs? I know if I used it on my outside plants I would immediately have ants and aphids all over them. To me it's not worth it and I'll stick to the nutes that don't have sugar in them.

Since this thread is up and going already and I have added pics I have decided to make this a grow log.

The pictures from the last three post are from about 4 days ago. I decided to go have a look today and noticed that one of the bud sites had been infected by worms or larvae of some sort. A few other leaves had some gnawing but I could not find any more than on that one site. Sadly but quickly I made the decision to remove the site. I wiped the poop off all the underlying leaves and maliciously combed the entire plant for anything else. Out of 50 or more bud sites it was the only one that exhibited this problem so hopefully removing that site will fix it. I just don't know if there are more that haven't hatched so I will be keeping a close eye out. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Other than the previously stated problem everything else is going awesome not as many trichomes showing yet as I had hoped but she may surprise me with a heavy resin production in the last 3/4 of her cycle( you know how women can be. No offense ladies!!!). So here are some more shots of her. She looks like just a canopy from certain angles.

You may have a point for outdoor plants. I did not have any worm problems before using molasses. Could just be the unluck of the draw.
On the upside is that the plant itself seems to love it!!!
