Hello again growers.
This will be another of those posts that will be hard to write without using profanity, but I'm going to give it my best fucking shot.
After seeing the light burn(?) this morning I decided to give the GF-CB a closer examination. And I found that my mortal enemies have resurfaced.
What is it about this old house and spider mites!!!
I even managed to spot one of the little bastards and squish it, confirming the diagnosis.
I didn't see the spots on very many leaves, and I ripped off the ones where I saw them. But that gives me no comfort.
After seeing this, I did about 2 minutes of soul-searching about my obligations to my
sponsors vs. the overall success of this grow.
And so with apologies to
@Weed Seeds Express and
@Mars Hydro, I'm removing this plant from the tent. She'll be finished in the 5x5 along with the mite-infested Strawberry Banana Grape clone. This move is unrelated to your great genetics or your great grow light but just about trying to minimize damage.
These plants are packed in pretty tight, and I know that the chance that none of the others have mites on them is remote. Still, I feel better taking the GF-CB out of there.
BTW, I also found these few leaves on the Grand Daddy Black, which sits to the left of the GF-CB. These are the only ones like this I could find on the plant and they too looked like light burn to me. The GDB is getting 5.5g of MC and 10ml of Terpinator but no calmag. However, the seed of doubt that
@Carcass planted in the old Benz Diesel earlier now has me wondering if that's what it really is. (And thank you for doing that,
@Carcass. Sincerely)
That's it.
Shit, I think that went pretty well. Barely any cursing at all!
Peace.
