DankestBuds Aurora Indica Grown In Soil

[DankestBuds42]

Hey everyone. So I was doing my daily check on the girls, and I found something not that chill.. Think it's spider mites.. On my hydro girl! Saw a buunch of spider webs + tons of tiny baby spiders on her lowest leaves, so I chopped them off and tried to get rid of any infection. Didn't see any spiderwebs on my other girls, but it's my weekend now so I'll keep a close eye on them.

Tent Update

Hydro Girl, looking a little skinny!

Heyo, hope you're all having a great Tuesday Today is my Sunday so I've been spring cleaning. I love how tidy everything is. But yeah. Took all of my girls out of the tent. Cleaned the heck out of everything. A bit of a pain shuffling Hope in and out but well worth it. Took advantage of having easy access for watering. Gave straight tap water to Melody, Sam, and my un-named bagseed. Just trying to keep them below the THL haha. But for Hope I mixed up a nutrient concoction as a special treat for all her hard work and to give her a little boost. I've just been watering with plain tap water for a few weeks now. Just been kinda lazy tbh and the girls seemed chill as is. Got my PH Pen working though so I can start mixing nutrients conveniently again.

Here is Grace, my Aurora Indica clone! Just using two swirly cfl's, think they're 100w equivalent each. No fan for air circulation, but considering there is no backing to the cupboard, airflow is decent for now.

Cupboard Set-Up

Beginning of Heavy Defol

Half Way Done!

Finally Done! (took a few hours but I was taking my time haha )

Side Shot #1

Side Shot #2

Still dealing with those mini spiders. Usually just remove any infected areas. All the more reason for a heavy defol. But yeah, staying positive, I'm sure everything will work out. Have a great day everyone

Cheers Ween! Yeah mini spiders are a new thing in my garden, but I'm really trying to stay on top of everything so my girls stay healthy. Glad to have your support!

I almost don't believe it.. I planted 3 of my smallest bagseed outside just to see if they could survive the transition. Came back a couple weeks later and they were still there!!! Even grew about half a foot for the biggest and a quarter of a foot for the smaller two. I was truly expecting them to be stolen or eaten by animals, but nah. Still chilling. I wonder if they'll be left alone until August/September. That would be extremely cool but I'm feeling isn't likely. We'll have to wait and see

This is TWL (The Weakest Link), but she's actually the strongest of the bunch now haha. Funny how things like that work out.

Sorry for the blurred picture. Thought it focused properly at the time. But rest assured there are two very healthy cannabis plants to keep TWL company

Hope your day is great!

Well. Got some really disappointing news. Whole tent is now infected with spider mites.. Also got laid off recently so I'm going to have to shut down bc can't afford hydro. Really sad that I couldn't even make it through 1 grow successfully after all this time. But I'll just chalk it up to being a learning experience.

Major bummer Dank! Really sorry to hear this. I hope that the old saying about 1 door closing leaves another open leads you to a better job and that you can get back to growing again. Keep us posted about this and the 3 you put outdoors.

Just randomly passing through...

Hydro? Water? Well, it has been over a month since you posted the above, so hopefully you've found a new job by now. If not, I've known people to water their cannabis gardens with collected rainwater. Sometimes the pH was a little high, but that was fixable, and it's easy to rig up a bug/dirt filter, lol. Maybe you can get enough water from rains to keep the plants healthy until you can once again afford to pay your water bill?
