Thanks for the kind words and support everyone. I think I have beaten the mites. I say think because there are still a few juveniles to be found on a leaf here and there. No adults to be found and many dead juveniles. Hard to find many eggs as well, the few I do see look yellowish and dead. I am thinking the population will be completely burned out in a few more days. I have a good update for you all. Some nice bud pr0n. Still underage but ripening day by day...
Thanks Munki, you're the man. I will definitely be modifying my next grow for SCRoG. I agree that is it the most efficient for my setup. I am thinking of upgrading a bit as well. This run, being my first, I just wanted to make sure I could grow successfully. I am not there yet, but I think I will and if I do, I will be stepping up the next run. I want to add another light, and a veg station. I would just use the tent for flowering and start going semi-perpetual.
Thanks again everyone, here is my weekly update...
Plants are doing well. Mites are almost completely gone. There is almost no vertical growth. I am hoping everything is going to the buds now. I just completed week 10. Five weeks of veg and five weeks of bloom. The buds are looking great to me and the leaves are getting frostier all the time. I think another 5 weeks to maturity if all goes well. Let me know what you guys think...
Here are the pics...
A little foliage...
This is kind of cool, I was experimenting with the camera. The lighting in the second shot sort of illuminates the bud hairs so you can see them pretty clearly. Just thought it was an interesting shot....
Lets get a little closer...
And closer...
Not sure if you can see it in the pics, but there are a few hairs that are starting to turn orange...
A bowl a milk for these frosted flakes?
