are they getting better yet? can you enlighten us with the brew recipe you have in the res? I know what that deficiency is...

maybe we can help...

Defoliation is a touchy and misunderstood topic... I think you should leave them on until the irregularity is gone, then snip them.

Yah sorry been a hectic night Vlad.. Thank you for checking back too...

MITES!
they had either just hatched so I could only see them with my lupe.
5-8 leaves 3 days ago now...half of them...


I actually on a good topic think that defol was spot on! Any more and it would have stunted but i left enough of the canopy to lose maybe only 2-3 days.. problem be it good .. bad.. the mites all went to the canopy is my guess...thats why they are attacking remaining leaves...

If you look above a few posts i was in mid explaining etc as posts where coming in... 420 commun trying to bail my ass out...
;)
 
sorry forgot to mention...
A long the way I posted what I upgraded as i Did but really I never made a Vital's page

To give you a basic idea my gear
Basement grow stabile at 68 -70 max.degrees. humidity outdoor based, Humidifier maybe even tomorrow,, sick of this shit..hehe

I use General hydro nutes in Lucas format .. micro and bloom. GH ph chems and bud candy since flower.
600w hps apollo cool tube light ( was using old 400)
T5 100w in the veg tent (4 - 2 ft tubes)
i started with 5 gallon pots with hydro dwc with 5 gal res but I am converting over after this one.
Ventech 6 inch 440 cfm with charcoal filter on a adjuster.
2-3 small hurricanes
appollo reas. tent 2x4x6
one ventech 6 inch 220? cfm for heat exhaust on a temp switch need an intake FOR sure.
I use all digital gauges and accurate syringes etc... trying to do it right...

If you look at my posts per day you can see my daily vitals and stats...i average 1000ppm -1200 but always lower back down to 1k when adding. Lots of flushes. fresh early sometimes.. great clean grow.

I just missed the Mites.. didnt know what to look for. I cut off an ugly leaf broke out the lupe and 5 minutes late i found one...

Now if there is a nute problem too ( possible) then the fact i dilutes it down to about 700 2 days or so ago makes me think it isnt an issue.. it got worse.

This is sorta my summary of the day... and the current sitch...
 
Sorry to hear about your mites. Everybody here has been great and free with the advice. I really aprreciate you putting your grow on here as it is helping me with mine. I can see your successes and setbacks and it hopefully will help me out. So again thanks for sharing and here's to hoping all those damn mites are gone.
 
I'm wet behind the ears to this cannabis cultivation thing, but my understanding was that mites were a problem one could expect in dry conditions, so that humidifier should do the trick. Crossing fingers and toes for you. :Love:
 
Too all concerned 420 Citizens! Update!

Too all concerned 420 Citizens! Update!

I let it sit in dark for 1.5 hours and then I checked on it.. it is almost dry. I turned the fans back on so I can make sure it is really dry. Then i will turn the hps back on in an hour or so.. just before I go to bed. I don't want any burns.
When i looked at it i decided not to rinse it. I will let it dry ... do another close inspection tomorrow night and depending what I pick up from the grow shop.. go from there. (please have Sierra)

I hate that I just put stuff all over it. organic or not. But the alternative I am sure was ruin.

Plant actually looked like it liked the bath... But they never tell you how they really feel til days later.. (am I talking about the plant still?) All oiled down like that. Roar!

So I hate to let all two of my fan club down so I'll post some pics in a few min of the current semi wet plant.
 
All two of us appreciate the effort. :laughtwo:

The very odd part i recently have been battling the humidity and I said it wrong more than once... doh.. de humidifier. Everywhere i read said they don't like humidity so I debated hitting like 95 humidity for a few days... but. It would feel odd as i have been fighting it and then i would need to get a humidifer but then still later need the opposite. I figured I would try neems tonight and go from there.
Thank you for chiming in.
 
Embrace the enemy! :laughtwo:

I've actually been applying that principle to dealing with the grief of losing my husband and it's been so effective I've begun considering its application in other areas of my life, so that was only half the hysterical joke it was intended to be. :laughtwo:

These silly mites have nothing on you. You'll beat them and be wiser for the experience. Now you know what to look for and how to avoid the beginnings of a problem. There you go. You've improved as a grower.
 
all two of us :thumb:
 
Far,

You have more than two fans. :) I just lurk and learn. But I really have enjoyed your grow. Keep it up and I am sure you will knock it out. :)

Sue,

I loved your post of the bud wash. Such nice pics. And you have a tidy little apartment there. You are also just a sweet presence here on the journals. I really do appreciate you as well, though I have probably not said so before now. You and cannafan are like little rays of joy/hippie love/womanly happiness. I am surprised that I have not seen more women post in these grows. Anyway just wanted to say thanks to both of you.
 
ok its all 4 of us then :thumb:

Your a trooper My sister lost her husband at a young age 42? and My mother did as well when I was a child (11) So I am familiar all too much with it. I am sorry for your loss.. Most important thing to say to this post. PM me ever if you need. (everyone says it but share with me someday when you are comfortable) I wouldn't mind asking you stuff too...

Thank you dear. :laughtwo: I'm proud to be an aging hippie. LOL! You're seeing the best part of my apartment. The rest is cluttered with hobby stuff of my late husband's that I need to find new homes for. :laughtwo: Its all about creative camera work.

It seems SweetSue was a good choice for a user name, but honestly, you guys make it easy to be sweet. :Love:

Sorry Far East. It's late, I'm buzzed and I get carried away in conversation. :battingeyelashes:

You do realize we'll all associate ourselves with that from now on? All five of us. Look at that. Your clan grew exponentially already!

No need I am rambling too forgot I was uploading pictures ..lol
 
I usually start smoking as I start uploading. I work from my iPad, so it's one at a time. Every picture I either load the pipe or hit it. It's like a drinking game I play alone and with cannabis instead of alcohol. By the time I'm done (typically 20 photos every day - yeah, crazy, huh?) I'm pretty lenient about timelines. LOL!!

Have fun uploading.
