I'm pretty thankful I don't have the borg..I'll take thripe s any day, I've never really had to deal with bugs much, I guess I will now that I'm ramping up a bit
Jack Herer & Panama Red In Doc's Hi Brix
There's nothing wrong with a few bugs that don't damage anything.....it's the damage we're against, not the bug.
If you use Leaf Wash and hose down every inch of the plant as it transitions from veg to bloom and then again a few days later, you'll find that you can control all insect pressure without worry.
I killed to most resistant, hardened mite population this way last year.....it took 4 months but since then we've had run after run of problem free plants.

Update, I just sprayed both rooms with spinosod, should do the trick, docs leaf wash just came in today and I will use that next.
I'm building a new veg room next to my flower room, so now I will have a teen veg room and a separate clone room. finally have exhaust in place and finally got the high humidity under control. my mini split a.c. Works great and I installed a Spartan environment controller.
I kept 2 phenos of the panama, one i call the purple panama and the other is just nothing special. I'm getting rid of the other and keeping purple. Only thing I don't like about the purple is i have very high leaf to calyx ratio, bag appeal is horrible except for the frost, everyone comments on it and always choose that one over the OG and blue dream. Yield is also very high.
I'm considering crossing it with something else. I'm not a breeder so I don't know. I think the grape ape i put in the flower room was too small, barely stretched at all.
blue dream harvest turned out the best, low yield but the bud's i did get are rock hard beautiful nugs. Wish it produced more, trying to decide on keeping it around

Trying to choose what is a keeper can be difficult at times. good to hear things are mocing in a positive direction. i have a few things that dont stretch at all when they get put into flower. It makes it hard to veg them to size in a 1 gallon.

Been working hard on my veg room, added a drying hood as well. The grape ape is doing very nice, small buds but very compact and the whole plant is purple. I'll try to get better pics of it when lights are off
Looks good. Looks to me like you have some small trees in those 1s over there bud!

Yeah, it wasn't easy, they went through a bad spell but got better. Those are my mothers
So long as they made it through, thats what matters.

Here's some pics of grape ape, I can't get any good pics with my kindle. I also ordered a turbo kloner, I'm tired of my clones looking half dead. This batch is really bad, hope it helps.
I'm also looking into cloning using tissue culture, and possibly being able to keep mothers as tissue culture and not count towards my plant count. Very interesting science and nurseries have been doing it for a long time. When I start I'll post everything here

I can tell she is very colorful. I would be interested in seeing how the tissue cultures work. I would love to keep strains around as tissue cultures. I have so many seeds I need to run but when I find something special i dont want to lose it to look for something even better you know?

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, I'm finding some nice keepers myself and need to watch my plant count.
I fully expect to fail first time with tissue culture, but think I can do it. The hard part is hardening them off after you take the clones out of the tubes. I need a very humid enviormen t and I can't even get that in my clone tray with a humidity dome.

These girls look bad, in first impression they look over watered, but I let them dry for a week before I just watered them. Transplanted a week ago into second run soil that cooked for 2 months. The leaves are tacoing and the veins are very defined, not a normal look for this strain. Any ideas?

Looks like cold soil. What are those pots resting on? How was the soil stored when it was cooking?
Let them get good and dry....dribble a bit of water on the top so the pot dries out evenly. Then do a warm water Rescue Drench. They should perk up after that. New growth is decent so the issue may be clearing up on its own, but that look is classic for a temperature induced phosphorus def.
The only way to fix it is to get temps up, make sure the pots aren't on a cold floor and be patient.

Thanks, they're sitting on a wood table i built, temps stay around 75, may fluctuate a little as I'm still trying to dial this room in. I'm using air from my flower room for my veg room, I'll put a heat mat under the pots as well

Forgot to add that the soil was cooked in my flower room and I had fuzzy growth on the soil too, I'm pretty sure it's ok, I may end up adding a heater in my veg or bring the pots back to my veg tent where I do have a heater

Just the small ones, look like that, the mothers which are much bigger are fine. I think your correct about temperature. Unfortunately I'm out of available power down there. I just priced today wire to run 300' to upgrade to 100amps.
Can you use you lighting to raise temps?

I've considered that, adding a 400 watt MH.
my highs are 78 which is when my flower room lights are on and my low is 70 obviously when flower room lights off. So what I did was turn down intake and exhaust fan and that should raise things enough. I will probably upgrade the electrical soon so I can add a heater. This is a new room and as always with new rooms, they need to be dialed in. I just checked the girls today and they are looking better.
