[ohioboy]

Hi all so today is 103 for my two remaining girls North and Kera and day 12 of re flowering.
Kera my bubblegum ph 7.2 last feeding was 3 days ago they make it about 12-15 days between watering/feeding she is also had one fim and the other mains were topped

Here is North my northern lights ph 7.0-7.1 (flipping) same feeding schedule as Kera she has been super cropped and fim on all 4 main colas and all 4 took you can see how kinda looks like a clone growth that's the fim

It looks like spider mite feces on the backs of those leaves, but I cannot tell you for sure. I've never had spider mites, I have had aphids though and it doesn't look like that's what you have there. Hopefully someone who has had the spider mites can pop in here and confirm. I tried to blow that leaf pic up to see for sure, the lighter blobs look like mites. But it was too fuzzy to be sure.

Do you have anything for critter control, like sprays or powder? Whatever it is, it's infested pretty bad.

On the seeds, I harvest the ones that are mature and let the buds keep going to mature the rest of them. I just keep looking and pick them off as they go.
I did try cutting the branches and putting them in water to let the seeds mature, some growers say that works, but I found it took forever and some never did mature. So I just leave them be and do their natural process.

I'm sure you will get some help in here soon! Hang in there!

Agreed. Looks like spider mites to me. Never had them but have witnessed plenty of people get bothered by them. If it is, you need to take corrective action ASAP.

Get that branch cut off there right now ohioboy. Bag it up and toss it deep into your trash bin, never to be seen again. Isolate this plant from your others as a precaution and prepare to tear everything down and scrub your grow space from top to bottom. I've never had mites myself, but you're showing classic signs. I'm going to track down bobrown14 for you. He's had great success with his spider mite communities and he works in LOS. I believe he's your best bet.

Hang tight. This is not insurmountable by any means.

 

[Lady Cannafan]

ohioboy,

Do you have access to neem oil ? Your local hydro shop or similar? I've always read that people have great success with that for spider mite control.

I use Sierra Natural Science (SNS) products for critter control, they are a sponsor here. Not sure, but you could check the local hydro shops for that brand too. I think it's product #SNS-217

Someone here had a good remedy just using dishsoap and water and misting the leaves, I'll see if I can find that recipe for you and post back here if I find it.

 

[Stinky Snid]

I found this post ... Regarding weak droopy stems and leaves.

Pull the plant and check the roots for binding. The main causes of all-over drooping include overwatering, heat stress and root binding.

Process of elimination, sounds like heat stress according to this. Sounds like some mites have also been spotted by your audience too.

Edit: didnt realize it was only one branch... My bag! Ignore my diagnos9

Not sure what you can do ohioboy, short of getting a portable air conditioner in your tent. It's possible, they have some fairly small one now, check into it I think that's your only solution.

Sorry to see your plants so sad..

[Lady Cannafan]

I've read a couple posts the last few days where they are reversing the fans to pull heat away from the plants. I haven't tried it myself, but it sounds like it's working for other growers.

Just an additional thought.

I used neem oil at 10:1 ratio 5 mins after I took the pics and put down diatamatious earth just because......

I did foliar neem oil and diatamatious earth on top of the soil. Sue are the spider mites getting into open wounds(from cutting off a fan leaf) and there what's causing the plant to die branch by branch like that or is that another problem

[SweetSue]

Spider mites are opportunistic. They attack weakness and exploit it to their advantage, then swarm in with impressive numbers. If it's mites, and I'm not certain it is, you need to correct the problem that's giving them an opening. I'm still hoping someone with experience in overcoming them can step in here soon. If no one comes by before tomorrow I'll research and see what I can find out.

Are you seeing any critters on those wilted leaves? Is it possible that branch was damaged someway and that's all you're dealing with? I once had a similar mystery and we were looking into the possibility of fungal infection when we realized I'd burned the branch on a CFL and it was dying from the burn. Is any other part of the plant affected? If not, that suggests something restricted to that branch, so it may be just a wound.

 

[ohioboy]

Right no it's just that branch but I did notice critters and I also found what looked like the shedded skin of some small bug idk but the only wound would have been a fan leaf cut off and like I said this has happened to me before the year I got bud rot in my whole crop and had to blast it all I was so upset but I thought it was from open wounds from defoliating but I haven't done that here yet

What's ideal flower temp like 75-80 and humidity is 35-50 optimal?

What's ideal flower temp like 75-80 and humidity is 35-50 optimal?


Outdoor organics. Ohioboy With Fast Buds - Let's See How Fast Exactly

Bingo! Don't want the RH too high so you don't get mold or powdery mildew. Also helps with pests.

 

[ohioboy]

Right so my average humidity is about 70 and my average temp is about 80

[ohioboy]

I wonder if I put two box fans in the tent sucking from one end opening and the other one blowing out the other end of that would be better than both fans blowing on the plants

[ohioboy]

If I put a portable ac would that add humidity


Outdoor organics. Ohioboy With Fast Buds - Let's See How Fast Exactly

 

[Nismo12]

Air circulation is key. If you have air staying in there long enough to get to 70%, you need to have some way to exchange your grow air and outside air. Temps will be ok with 80. But humidity needs to drop. A small dehumidifier would do wonders.

 

[Nismo12]

Air conditioning would help on your Temps and RH. Ac dehumidifies air. So it would be cooler and RH would drop.
