In this episode of Sweeez, Jonas and Domi dedicate themselves to the unpleasant companions of cannabis cultivation: deficiencies, diseases, and pests. First, they examine typical deficiencies like water and nutrient deficits. From nitrogen to magnesium to potassium – the symptoms on the leaves help with diagnosis. Overwatering and root rot are also discussed, including tips for prevention.
Then it goes on to diseases like powdery mildew and botrytis (bud rot), which spread quickly through moisture and spores. Especially critical: they can destroy entire harvests. The hosts talk about home remedies like milk solutions, but also about radical measures if the infestation is too advanced.
The last part focuses on pests: fungus gnats, thrips, aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, and even slugs. Alongside natural countermeasures like ladybugs, predatory mites, or yellow sticky traps, it becomes clear: prevention is half the battle. Finally, as always, there's the strain of the week – this time Blue Dream, a legendary classic from California with a fruity-woody aroma and a unique high.
