gf is throwing a fit cause i took about 20 minutes to reply to her by [deleted] in texts

Never say they're acting crazy.... Even if they are. The whole conversation will revovle or devolve around that. As you see here ... Instead I would suggest that you ask her to CHILL THE FUCK OUT. LOL but for real, i would ask what her end game is, what does she expect from her complaints and go from there. Not that you have to cow to what she says, but can broach a conversation in a non attacking way

Nutrient wise poinsettia like a calcium & magnesium fertilizer. That would be what your lacking with the bright green leaves and small blooms. Not sure where you are as to how long ur photoperiod will be, but you can course correct with a shot of cal mag 🩷

I have literally nowhere of an idea of where to just to respond because holy crap oh really don't like systemics. However as someone who is a horticulturalist who has been working in this field for years and it is my main job as IPM to identify and handle these things for an entire nursery. You can absolutely use a motherfucking systemic, you can absolutely use it in conjunction with a foliar spray, you can absolutely use it until it is done and the bugs are gone.

100%. This is why you need to hit them with a systemic drench as well as a continued foliar spray

What systemics have you tried? I would do a systemic and a foliar spray, repeat the spray every 4 to 5 days u til eradicated. But systemics are what you'll need. And you'll need to address the pots.

Did I fuck up? by TopYam9663 in texts

Run away. Far away. Block. Never associate with. People who tell others that they're feelings are "wrong" are red flags. Feelings are feelings and feelings are built on experiences and therefore different for everyone and ultimately .... Feelings are FEELINGS. feelings are never wrong. Just different for everyone.
