Eh, bugs feasted on some leafs. I'll get a good eight weeks on flower but I would have liked to run them longer. I can tell by leaf color their not ready for a few weeks. I'm happy for what I have learned and will not repeat these mistakes. I just thought things were going great and got blindsided so I got a little down on myself. But I'm better now. Thanks for stopping by my grow.

Mistakes, like slamming a plant into a light mistakes? If you learned something and got a harvest, you've got nothing to be down about. There will never be a perfect grow.

I appreciate that my plants won't lie to me to spare my feelings or avoid a fight.

I'm just gard on myself. But that's why experience it key to success. This board is a good way to pickup what's working for people.

Surely you can push those plants another week? You've got the pest problem under control now right?

Eh, no it seems these are tough basterds. I still see some small webbing in center palm leaves. Wow, two bombs and SNS near lights out yesterday. I see eggs but no bugs today. SNS should kill eggs so I'll see. My bombs will not kill eggs so I'm sure there are some alive. SNS I hope will get me another week or two. I'll push it as far as I can keep these guys down.

One more we one more week "we chant"

 

[TheBlaze]

If you can't control them, then its best to harvest soon. Rather early than lose everything.

Good job for your first grow and I like the pictures, stay green and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

 

[millertm]

Wow, Thanks for all the Love, you guys/Gals are like family. So, these girls still have some fight in them cuz they are killing the water. I let them go three days between feeding/watering but have not feed in over 12 days. However, in knowing how these plants matureI still have a few weeks at least. Fan leaves are still green and not showing any yellowing or spotting which will happen in the last few weeks. I have a few pix to show from tonight and I do say it looks very good for a first grow. Most of all Tri's are milky so I'm in the "zippy" window.



So, if you see these spots on your leaves (they start off as white spots) you are doomed. This is what Mite damage looks like and if you look at the following shots you will see most of the GSC leaves are sand blasted like this one. Nice resin production on stem and fan leave though.



Lots more of Cinex then GSC. Lots of fat tall buds, I can see that these next week will be the one when it swells. Thanks for the Love and positive thoughts.

They do look very nice.

Thanks for the update and lesson homie

Hey Millertm,
With your mite damage.....will you be bud washing at harvest?

 

[ShiggityFlip]

The level of trichome development is just awesome. How did I miss this journal. Subbed sir.

Hey Millertm,

Maybe not, once food is gone mites go too.

The bud washing will help get rid of any dead mites stuck in the buds and also the microscope mite poop.

 

[millertm]

I was going to dunk them in cold water but not "wash" them. If that's what you mean then yes I'm washing them.

Hmmm....? Their eggs and carcasses too?
Did you try to treat your infestation? If you did, what did you spray?
You would be surprised what shows up in the water after washing.
Hope you are considering the bud washing idea.....especially considering your circumstances.

So how long you gone let her go miller?? Curios to see, cause I'm about to have to order something for Pests online to be safe, I have nothing I can use on edible/smokeable plants around where I live. So you say SNS worked for you?? I wonder how it would do against gnats

 

[millertm]

SNS works in flower as does liquid ladybug. Before flower you have more options. Pyrethrum bomb slowed them down but does not kill eggs. I'm using SNS post bomb and will run tent as long as I can or all the leaves fall off.
