Oh Pop's they come and go. I get 4 or 5 good rotations mite free, then them little buggers show their ugly faces again. Right now they are far and few around here now, but man they can multiply fast. That's another thing of beauty about outdoor grows, you generally don't see mites. Mother nature does a dusting and cleaning every day. But indoors you have to remember, they are true members of the tick family and they live in soil and grasses. Don't take much for them to hitchhike in on your clothes while working around the yard. I bet ten to one, mites are the biggest problem indoor growers have to deal with. Least everywhere I've lived cross country.
But it never hurts to do alittle safers washing before they get flowering to make sure I'm not toting in some to the flower room. I always treat every plant as if it's got mites before I throw them in there. Alittle pressure washing never hurt a sole, and it washes alot of the dusts that are clogging up the works. I use that safers soap at like 66% what they call for and I pour it on thick. Unless I really have a problem developing, then I use it full strength with a rise after once a week till they are gone. And these little girls are just done taking their shower.
Hey Granny long time. Long long time. Hope all's good in your world and your still cranking out the buddage. I'll take a look at that 'mite-rid'. I seen another spray that is suppose to even 'encapsulate' and kill the eggs. I forgot the name it's in the new sunlight catalogue.
Hope you guys over there on the 'Islands' are growing great. Pop's and Hawg
Ok I'm going to throw out acouple new pictures before I spin it another day;
This one is the Marion Berry. I'm thinking about letting her go. I do have like 7 or 8 new strains out there to try. I will be growing this one outdoors again next year. She sure gets some nice colors to her when the temps drop.
Talk about leaves. I didn't top this one. For two reasons, one she's going to get dolled up for X-mas, and second, she looks like she's quite capable of producing a really nice main cola. Maybe I let her get acouple inches to tall for the room, but she'll work.
Ok now a report after my second grow of this one. Giga Bud. I got her down to a 50 day cycle. Herb is like 6.5 outta 10 in my book for quality. But I like couch lock myself. Easy plant with a decent yield. I've finished her twice but there are stronger strains to try out so I threw my last plant, uncloned, in flower. So we'll see her once more in the future. Giga Bud;
Ok here's the little Train Wreck seedling. I think she'll make it now. Alittle super thrive does wonders, Train Wreck;
Ok here's a new one. This one here I used a #1 Skunk mother with some Pre 98' Bubba Kush and came up with my Bubba Skunk'. I was just playing around and started two plants in the same pot and one turned male so she's now a huge plant. But I do have quite afew seeds from my experiment. Bubba Skunk;
Ok these babies are all REAL close to coming out. I started the flush on my Cripit two days ago and now it's between the two others which is first up on the table to be flushed. Oydeuss or Pittbull. Not sure How long it's been like 42 days on the Pittbull. It's fast that's for sure. She's got solid spear cola's under the leafage. Pittbull;
Here's Cripit, she's a week further along like day 50;
And the Odyeuss at about the same 50 days;
Well that's it for a minute everyone, thanks for stopping in and I hope all's gardens are doing great. And
Keepem Green
