You can grab some lady bugs...those suckers will eat up tons of those spider mites in no time. For about 11 bucks you can get like 500 lady bugs. Spider mites birth every 3 days. you need to attack them and be consistent for a couple weeks before you can relax.
Ok...put something hot in that water soap mix...like cayanne pepper...recipes are out there ...do a search on this site..or Google,,homade recipes for spidermites...it works
To know when that plant is ready..you need to know when the chomes turns cloudy or when you see the 1st amber at that time its ready to be pulled for that up high....the more amber the more down the high is...they look close to being ready...
ok wow i just cut a sample off my plant and i dried it in the microwave.. i got a great buzz i mean my head just zoned out after i smoked i forgot that i was even doing this test in the first place.. in my exp i would say this buzz is up there right up there with the best... not like my first butt sure like my last time.....
i am so happy this plant did not die. it had many times to die but i showed it lots of love and tried to save it vs letting it die ... so as my first grow this is working out just fine .. i would say to anyone that is wanting to start growing to read up and get money behind you to help when problems arise. i am just happy it is going to get me high at first i thought it would be cap.. but now i am shit faced and starting to feel great about spending all the money i did on this plant... if it comes out in the end to be a winner it will all be worth it
i mean this plant looks like it will produce min 1 ounce for a little box in the the closet grow,,, priceless
so thanks for all your help along the way it looks like this is my last couple of weeks growing
i will post more pics on Friday to see how she looks and i will post more pics after the grow and during the drying process
like i said before
this is my plant
she is called ice i got it as a clone
she is 8 weeks into budding
i have smoked her and she gave me a great high
im not sure when i should cut her down
miwa says its time to cut her down... should i do it or should i wait a bit longer
i just want the best... well the best that i can get from her. i just want to cut when she is ripe..
plus because i use the microwave to quick dry it i am not sure then if it is really ready
let me know what you guys think after the new pics..
thanks you all for your help i just wanted the best, and you guys are helping me out big time...
i really want to test her out in my bong to really know how she taste but i would have to not use the microwave to get the real taste.. doing it in the microwave makes it taste like grass some what... i mean it does smell like weed before i put it in ..lol
Give it another week. They are still growing unless you have confirmed cloudy/amber ratio. Not all plants will finish in 8 weeks, some go up to 12 most stay around 9-10. Change the light to 9/15 for the last week to boost up trichome production.
Ice is a skunk x white widow cross and yours looks like sativa dom. Avg. time on this plant is 8 weeks but i would give her another week. As 12 said i would cut back the light cycle to ripen those trics. 9/15 would be good and do a good flush. Since you don't ph test get some iodized water and start a flush.
