OK sooooo where to begin.
I started some new clones the other day and noticed over half the sprayers were plugged and not working. Guessin thats part of the reason I lost all my clones last run. Must have been the Thrive Alive cuz they were plugged with black sludge which is what Thrive Alive looks like. This new stuff I got from the grow shop, Aussie Tonic, is a clear yellow color. I used it to water all the plants indoor and outdoor a few days ago and all look good.
The outdoor plants also got some with the FP nutes and after 2 days the buds almost doubled in size. They are lookin really tasty now. I covered the outdoor plants with the greenhouse because weve had a week of rain here and after covering them I released 4500 ladybugs in there. The guy said to release 1/3 of the bag at a time cuz they dont like bing close to each other but I call BS cuz they are congregating in big groups all over the plants and the SmartPots. I still have another bag too cuz they suggested buying 2 for my 6ft by 8ft greenhouse.
The indoor plants are mite free at this time. As I stated before I sprayed 2 times with the SNS 217 3 days apart and defoled both times. Havent seen any signs since taking the 2 infested plants out of the new veg tent. The LED light seems to be working well in there. The growth is not really noticeable until you defol and see 3 or 4 nodes stacked right on top of each other.
I now have in Veg: 1 unknown strain believed to be Purple Power but could be one of 3 other strains also, 2 seedlings either Super Skunk or Purple Power, 2 Purple Crk seedlings, 2 GSCs 4 Blue Dreams and the Bay 11 male, oh and the Green Crk I was gonna flower out but decided there wasnt enough room for it this round so I cut 5 clones off it and will keep it around a little longer. Theres also 2 seedlings sitting on op of the cloner that are either PK or SS also but theyre the opposite strain as the others so I do have 2 each SS and PK I just dont know which 2 are which at this time.
The 8 Blue Dreams in flower are about to go into their 14th 12 hr dark cycle and have been showing pistils for the last 2 or 3 days so it has begun. Theres some lower branches that are dying off and Im not sure if it is from the fan blowing on them 24/7 or if it is from lack of light. Ive never had it happen or seen it before so I cant say for sure if either is the cause really but they seem to be drying up and are wilting and some leaves have fallen off. Just the lower branches that the fan blows on though. Ill be choppin em off next week when I do a day 21 defol to clean them up so they can concentrate on producin some sweet buds.

These 2 I just took to give a better idea of their actual size, or lack of
Heres a pic from out the bedroom window o the gang of Ladybugs that have been there since releasing them
Who says they dont like to be close to each other

Before I cut clones I transplanted the 3 survivors from the last round of clones. Heres some pics of the before and after cloning and transplant

Heres the new products I got. The Aussie Tonic was a free sample they gave me
And finally we have the veg tent. These pix were taken on 2 or 3 occasions after defol and cloning
