Hey there Buck... nice looking plants there buddy! Congrats on the new light set up. Are you using a low voltage trigger to turn them on??
Love all the trichome pics, thats amazing really.
On the mites... man you should be able to get rid of them ASAP. They have a life cycle so you kill the adults, the eggs hatch and kill them again before they reproduce and lay more eggs... So treat them every 3 days with spray (spinosad is enough) and silica. Every 3 days for 2-3 weeks.
I usually get rid of them for 2 rounds then get lazy spraying and they come back again. I use a lot of silica and I think my plants don't taste too good to insects because of that. I use a lot of fans blowing at the soil line of the plants ... that along is effective control, mites hate wind and rain.
Your infestation doesn't really look that bad. It looks like you are killing the adults but they are laying eggs and round and around it goes. Need to break that cycle with treatment more often.
My experience is they never really go away... they really like hotter temps so I usually have the mites back in August then gone for another season. I've had better luck after more fans like that little black round one you have on the floor. I got mine from HD and have a bunch of them pointed at the soil at top of pots. I have my fans on a separate circuit they run 24/7. After more fans I've had much better luck and less need for IPM sprays.
The problem with mites is they adapt to the same chemical treatment over time. So it's best to use a multi pronged approach. Pyrethrins is pretty strong shit add that catalyst thats with it, you should be rid of them. Just try the fogger every 3 days for 2 weeks. You will kick them to the curb. GL my friend...
Oh yeah was going to say "pics or it didn't happen" from the Bachelor party but sounds like someone beat you to it! yikes.... what's at a bachelor party, stays at the bachelor party... unless forgot wrappers! Oh and same treatment for bugs from bachelor party as mites (Pyrethrins)! hahahahaha Oye.
Hope your nephew sorted things out. Maybe even a little ass kick for the picture guy. wtf?
Nice haul on the seeds.... I just got a pack of Tripple Chem Face (Dosidos x 3 Chems).... there's a weekly meeting for seed-o-haulics .... and, I'm off the wagon again.
Cheers and you're hitting HRs. plants are awesome.
