picture update
Ok so you know I take pics ... I do it to "check" the plants because I can "see" better when I zoom in on images. I have been looking close on phee for two reasons, she has hermie traits and I am afraid of bud rot. Well no bud rot but phee has turned DANG! I really like these plants and I might let her go and make seeds ... maybe.

Buck, I thought something was up with my PH so again I bit another bullet at the local hydro store and got a digital ppm meter and a PH meter today! COWABUNGA!! Were the test supplies I was using wrong??? Hell yeah
They were off a whole bunch, both the liquid and the strips...they came from that unmentioned hydro retailer, NOT a 420 sponsor. The PH was way high in the aerovegger I just updated and I will check the tent tomorrow as I suspect it is WAY OFF alsoMaybe this had something to do with the leaf tips...we shall see. I also got a high dollar timer for the pump in my aerovegger..

Hell yeah!?!?!??? I have been reading a LOT about PPM and it's relationship to PH...starting tomorrow I will be religous about my record keeping and checking of PH and PPM. I think I have a grasp on what to look for now...I will say it again, why did I wait so long to come to 420 magazineTwo meters...we got another high tech Grower in the house...
I remember! I was in a position where I had to be more careful. Now I'm retired, let her rip!- Thread starter

Well Buck I share your pain? I had my reveg go hermie two years ago and I crossed her with the sativa next to him/her which equaled MMMF (Mingus Mtn Mutha Fucka) It's not ALL that bad, right?say goodbye to phee she/he is in the bag
Re: picture update

Re: picture update
No pain ... I was prepared. I pulled her because I have hermie seeds already and want/need better medicine.
Hey gittergreen (I just said that in my head with my best Larry the cable guy accent)
Phee has nice hard buds very dense (this is a lie because LED can't do that) I did want "her" to go at least another week to really bulk up. I would rather have a hermie with dense buds than what I feared BUD ROT! Even though I call this plant Phee because of its phenotype it is a hybrid of phy and phee. While the hermie trait was a bummer the rest is nice, thick frosty lemony buds

I would do three things
attack them by hand with tack cloth
purchase ladybugs and let them go
get Hot Shot pest strips and put a few right in the plant

turn the fans off and use a bomb..
Oohh, FishCake, I feel for you! I also went through this two weeks ago and after considering my options, was able to conquered them with SNS-217. My plants had been ravaged because I didn't recognize it soon enough. I don't recall what kind of grow you have, but in my case, I took down all of the plants whose leaves had shriveled up, broke all of the dry leaves off into the compost pile and harvested the buds. I then sprayed the live plants down with SNS-217, trying to get it on the underside of the leaves where the mites are - I had to bend the plants over, turn them on their side & spray.
Wait 3-4 days and do it again. That got rid of mine. SNS-217 is primarily made of Rosemary oil and is harmless, except for a pungent odor that diminishes after a few days. Your plants can be safely dipped in an H2O2/water bath to remove last-minute chemicals, too. I dipped mine afterward and did not get any leftover aromas - I also turned all of the bud into dry-ice hash, too and the taste was as perfect as I can attest to.
Good luck!

Please don't forget the role that temperature plays in pH and TDS/PPM. Meters that compensate for it are preferred, but I have never seen an affordable one that didn't cost at least $200. I am no expert, either, so if someone can add their wisdom, we could all learn something.
