Hey everyone, hope you all are having a great day!
The Tangie Tent:
So far the Tangies are coming along nicely and I haven't watered them since I returned from my trip about a week ago. The pots are getting much lighter but still have another 2 days or so to go before they need a watering so I am going to hold off, and will be brewing up a nice compost tea probably tomorrow
I still am waiting for their side branches to develop more, and considering doing another topping to really bush the girls out, but still to be determined
There are a couple smaller branches that I could grab some clones from, but I would like to see the plants even more bushy so most likely I will top them in a few days to really encourage more branching
Other than that the Tangie tent is looking good, and even though I haven't seen any spider mites in this tent, I have been treating it anyways just to make sure none want to much on my plants
The Veg/Mother tent.
After I removed the 2 worst plants (black diamond Og, area 51) and put them in my 3rd tent I have been inspecting each plant every single day. I removed all the worst leaves, which hosted a lot of damage and eggs, and have sprayed the plants every single day rotating between my mite products. I don't want to give these little suckers a chance to repopulate so I have been rather vigorous on my treatments. Each day I pull off a couple leaves, check to see if there are mites, and if there are, are they alive. So far I have found mostly dead mites, with just 1 or 2 that managed to survive, so I will continue treatments for the next month, but now I am spacing out the sprayings about every 3 days which is the time it takes for an egg to develop into a young mite. I figure if I can take them out as soon as they become mature, this will prevent new eggs from being laid, hence cutting their cycle to null
I haven't seen any new damage on any of my plants over the last week, and so the treatments must be working decently
I also noticed my blue dream has been hit by them as well, but not bad like the other 2, so I removed any damaged leaves and have been spraying all the plants daily. So far so good and I think within the month I should be miteless, but if not, my next step will be to clone each plant, wash the leaves prior and start the strains out from clones that are healthy. I don't think I will need to go this route but I will stay proactive and know its an option if all else fails. But things are looking good
Other than that, not much else to report. My GSC clones I took seem to be hanging in there so hopefully 1 will pop and I will be able to keep these genetics. This really tells me that I need to make seeds ASAP of all my strains so that I need not worry if a plant doesn't survive in veg... I can then just pop some seeds and find the pheno I like
Well here are some photos
