Daisy (Barneys Farms Dos Si Dos Auto)
Date: 7/14/23 Day# 82 Fday# 53
Medium: 5G SIP bucket with FFHF soil & Dynomyco
Nutrients: Remo Nutrients week#6-8 flower
Daisy is ripening up quickly. I'm just giving her plain water through the end, still about 2L/day right now. Well into her 11th week from seed and 8th week of flower, I doubt she has two weeks left. All of her buds are putting on weight and getting dense. I've had to tie a few lower buds up to keep them from falling over. Most of the stigmas have turned and crinkled, her smell has increased and her frost is getting thick.
Today I took some tric shots. There's still some clear, but more cloudy than I expected and a few ambers.
It looks like she may be ready to harvest soon. Which is good, because today I found some unwelcome visitors in the Vivosun Auto Oasis as well.
Spider mites
They must have been here a while too, especially on this bud
This is the only webbing I can find, the rest of the buds look clean... for now.
So far I haven't seen them in any of my other tents, and I'm going to try to keep it that way too. So now, what to do?
First step: I mixed up 5G of
@Sierra Natural Science SNS-209 (preventative). I filled Julie's res with this (she was due for a water-only anyways), and I gave Daisy 2L as well. I'm not expecting much with Daisy, but I'm hoping it will help Julie build up some defense.
Next: I mixed up a bottle of
@Sierra Natural Science SNS-217C (spider mite treatment) today. I used this on my Purple Haze grow, in the 6th week of flower. After washing, drying, and curing the buds I'm still smoking that grow, and it has no taste at all. Therefore, I have no problems spraying this on Daisy's buds. I'll have to wash her buds at harvest anyways now. For now, I just sprayed the bud that looked really bad. I'll spray anywhere else I see them tonight near lights-out, concentrating on the undersides of the leaves.
Finally: I have ordered 1500 ladybugs coming next week. I'll release them nightly for the next couple of weeks in ALL of my tents.
I believe they started in the salad tent, and that tent is due for a deep cleaning this week. I'll probably end up rotating through the tents, cleaning each one and leaving it empty for a week or two before using it again. The war has begun...
Julie (Herbies Seeds Girl Scout Cookies Auto)
Date: 7/13/23 Day# 45
Medium: 5G SIP Bucket with FFHF & Dynomyco
Nutrients: Remo Wk#1-4
Julie's broken main seems to be doing fine. Growth still looks good on the branch that had to be repaired, and the supercropped stems are already bouncing back.
She's on day# 10 of flower and is up to 24" tall already. She is throwing stigmas everywhere. She's almost as tall as Daisy, although she is still on 'stilts'. Soon the riser will come off and she'll have both AeroLights all to herself.
Looking closely, I do see spider mite damage on a couple of leaves (white dots).
Daisy and Julie are so close they're touching, of course they're on Julie too. She'll get a good spraying with SNS-217C tonight, and every few days over the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping I can get rid of them, but in a perpetual tent that may not be possible. Worst case scenario, I may need to start the new auto in a different tent and give this one a deep cleaning. It's summer time, and time to get serious about IPM!
