Hi Guys,

They were all looking fantastic, but I had an attack of mealy bugs in my Hippies and it was spreading.

Oh, well, if I lose some then I have learned a big lesson, I pray I haven't though.

Yes, I have fertilized them with liquid fertilizer, 5mls to a litre of water.
I was told that your alcohol was different from our rubbing alcohol.
Here it is called Metholated Spirits, (96% Ethanol), I was told that they added something to it so people do not drink it.

Do you still think 50% dilution, I was told that?????

Thanks,
Debi
