Hello All,
Here we go again. My last grow was a great learning experience but had to be cut early due to the "Circus coming to Town". But I live to fight another day. Moreover, I was fighting within 3 days of my new girls homecoming. I have the Borg, I know it and I chose to fight through it by using my head. Its getting bad at the grow store as well, I'm seeing lots of customers with the same problem and always in late flower. I did notice that when my T5 grow was in the flushing stage and had neurotic leaves the mites lost interest and disappeared. Therefore, In a 8 week grow, you need to last 6 weeks before the "Tents go Up". During Veg you have lots of options and smaller plants so mite control should be flawless but "N" in your fert is what Mites
seem to like most from what I have read about them on line. Veg and Grow food is the highest in N so if you do not catch an outbreak it could take your grow down fast. I'm told it takes about two weeks unchecked for
enough generations with mature adults to make the population of China look small compared to your mites. Anyway, enough. On with the grow.
Here are a few pix of my T5 grow drying in my tent. I got about 7 oz dry, not bad for 4 plants in 6"x6" under
a 192W 8, 2' bulb T5HO with a few CFL's. On that note. While I got the full 9 weeks in flower and buds were compact, after drying and in cure it is a bit loose. Still quite potent but not as compact as what I got under the 1000W HPS.
Here is a few shots from their last days.
Here is the setup.
Those four girls were raised from bag seed.
Grow 2.0
What strain is it? two Sour Diesel, Super Limon Haze, Cinex/NW Coffee
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? Yes both and unkown %
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Veg
If in Veg... For how long? Got cuttings on 1/02
Indoor
Soil
If soil... what is in your mix? FFOF
If soil... What size pot? #5
Size of light? 1000W
Is it aircooled? Bare bulb
Temp of Room/cab? 72-75F
RH of Room/cab? 45%
Any Pests ? 2 Spot Spider Mites
How often are you watering? twice week
Type and strength of ferts used? AN Grand master with Sensi AB ($488 for all nutes in Qt with 2 in pints)
Time to meet the family.
The girls sunning under my 192W T5, 4 bloom and 4 grow bulbs for full spectrum.
Super Lemon Haze, 8 week flower (suspect)
Sour Diesel 1, 9 week flower
Cinex/NW Coffee 9 week flower
Sour Diesel 2.
Here they are 6 days later.
Cinex is largest and was the largest of the group when purchased. I'm potting up on next watering but waiting one day so I can spray again for mites. I now know what "total plant material saturation". My girl's looked ready to fall over and were drooping badly. I'm not sure if these mites came with the clones or were already here but these clones had cut leaves making me think that I brought them in to my grow space. Well, all I need is a good 6 weeks of flower to make it through to the end.
Peace.
