And, that's everything. Thanks for following along. Comments, questions and suggestions are always welcome.


 
Things are looking good HG! Those scraggly plants look like they're trying to fill out after the topping, but I'd take that MD1 and slowly tie the top down to the pot like a 180º U-turn. :)
Unfortunately, the Moby Dick autos appear to have some kind of bugs. I sprayed them with Neem twice this week.
I'm planning on Neeming all the indoor plants before moving them into a tent.
I think you'd be better off spraying every other day or every third day and not stop for three weeks. Bringing those plants back into the clean tent before the 21 days is up is risky.
 
If the big plants have no evidence of bugs, you think I should still wait another 3 weeks? They're already over 100 days old.
 
Good morning.

I have a couple of questions.

I think you'd be better off spraying every other day or every third day and not stop for three weeks. Bringing those plants back into the clean tent before the 21 days is up is risky.

Other than seeing bite marks on the leaves, how do I know if a plant is completely bug-free? Do I need to check every leaf for bugs? That doesn't seem very practical. (I'm asking more for the plants that don't have bug bites than for the ones that do.)

And, my WWxBB1 has some damaged leaves mid to low on the plant:

I Neemed her and the other WWxBB since I wasn't sure what to do. Any suggestions?

HashGirl, once bugs are present you should never assume that a plant is "completely bug-free," no matter what you've done to combat them. Keep treating for them until the plant is done. Period.

Please trust me on this! :)

I had a very healthy crop of citral flow running last year in my hydro room and a few out door ladies in fabric bags. October was rolling around and they were still about four weeks from finish. I treated them for insects for a continuous week 3 times a day even though they showed no signs of insect problems. Three days after they were introduced to the grow room, every plant was covered in aphids. Never think your insect problem is gone when it comes to outdoor plants. Even if you don’t think you have an issue.
 
Outside plants should be treated on an ongoing basis (IPM) throughout the grow. Inside plants "mite" be considered bug-free if treated every 3 days for 21 days, which breaks the life cycle of pretty much every pest we encounter.

To be on the safe side (as GDB mentioned), you're better acting as if they're never gone, particularly with mites.
Thanks for that info I had no idea 21 days wow.

You misunderstand. I'm not asking about the Moby Dicks, which are obviously infected by bugs as you can see by looking at the leaves.

The CB Dutch Treats and the Raspberry Cough have no visible signs of bugs as I've been giving them Neem drenches weekly. How do I know if there are any on them? Is there a certain number of leaves for me to check to get a general idea? Or, should I just assume they're fine since there are no visible signs?

AND...

The only question I had about the outside plant was regarding the brown spots on the mid-level and lower-level leaves. Is it a nute problem or a bug problem or something else entirely?
 
Have you scoped the damaged leaves outside?

No but I will tomorrow. I'm getting ready to take my dad to a movie about Leonard Cohen's song, Hallelujah.

Those leaves look like they've been fed on by leafhoppers or something like a four lined plant bug.
They both leave similar damage.
 
I checked the WWxBB1's leaves for bugs. I checked one leaf that was near to where the other damaged leaves were and I also checked a healthy looking leaf on the other side of the plant. As far as I can tell, there are no bugs but there is definitely something wrong. Here are the pics:

And, since the Magnums are 95 days old, I scoped them for trichomes, despite knowing that outside amber is different from indoor amber. But, I figure it will at least let me see if there are any clear trichomes still.

I have no idea whether their drinkings have slowed down at all since they also get rainwater but I didn't notice the musky smell that I associate with them today so maybe they're close?
