Thanks for the kind words, guys. Here are a few new pics. I just took 5 plants, 4 mystery seed and 1 Black Widow. The BW I smoked before really fucked me up with a massive panic attack, but one of my peeps really loved it, so I may keep it going for a while. Here are a couple mystery plants, M1 and M2. They came out pretty well, I thought. My yield's are small because I'm growing in small pots and have a ton of plants crammed into my 4x4 flower, but once I get things a bit more sorted out I'm going to run fewer, but bigger plants. M1 and M2
mucho bueno nice job try running that Black Widow a week longer in Flushing and only use some molasses or flora nectar are just anything this is sweet here with carbs. it should help get rid of that anxious paranoia high
Thanks guys. Yeah, Mt. King. I think you are right. Bad flush. A later BW was much loved by peeps. I am continuing to run it for the time being. Just thought I'd throw out a current pic of the grow tent. Got 3 BW 2 Shit, a bunch of mystery plants, and four newbie Pinapple Express. I hope the PE turn out well. I am excited to try them.
Currently I am having some serious spider mite issues. Trying various sprays, bug strips etc...When summer comes and I only have vegging plants I will throw in a couple bug killer bombs. I was just spraying some with a wood vinegar/chili pepper spray on the bottom of the leaves in my seedling/clone tent. Jeez is that stuff strong. Like breathing pepper spray. I kept having to leave the grow room to get some fresh air. :crybaby2:
Can you move the bloom plants temporarily and bomb? Otherwise I fear for you man. You need to BOMB the fuck outta those little bastards! There are very few creatures that inspire genocide - true hatred of an entire species. Food chain or no, mosquitoes I can wish away, and MITES. :growin::qright5: Bomb them, and them again 4 days later. Then build that sulfur burner I did a DIY thread on and burn it. That's what I would do.
Thanks for the advice, FF. I'm sure the flowering plants have some spider mites as well, so moving them out, bombing, and then moving them back in won't solve the problem. Bombing needs to be done with the plants in. I have bombed once before with only veg plants and they didn't like it, but suffered only slight damage. The bombs here are nasty and poisonous and I don't want that residue shit on my buds. As far as those sulphur burners go, they are supposed to be for powdery mildew, right? PM is caused by too high humidity, isn't it? And spider mites are supposed to thrive in hot, DRY environments, so they seem like totally different problems. But, I will look into it further. Edit: I'm finding conflicting info on whether PM is caused by high or low humidity. Haven't found anything talking about sulphur burners as mite control yet though. :read2: :bong-2:
Hey Hank, man your garden has really gotten nice, and I can tell your grow skills have really increased. Good job man. :not-worthy: asssit:
Thanks Mr. GJ and Link. Still gotta a lot of learning to do it seems as my yields are always quite low compared to what is supposed to be a good level. Duff, well I moved my plants that were well into flower and left in the new flowering, veging, clones and cutting, and then BOMBED. Those things are potent. Killed some clones/cutting and messed up a lot of leaves on other plants. Killed the mites, for sure, but at what cost. I'm not entirely sure that the mites were causing more damage than the bombs did. And then, really I should bomb again after 5 days or so to get the newly hatched mites from previously laid eggs, but I don't think my small plants and clones could take it. I've no idea where to get ladybugs commercially here. I was planning on hunting for them come summer. :danger:
My 2 cents, if the plants are already damaged, don't bomb again. Instead, spray your plants regularly and thoroughly with a good neem based product. It will keep the bastards in check. However, I wouldn't do this to the plants that already have buds formed, cause neem is some rotten stuff.
