DocBud, thanks for the heads up, i was wondering about the purp stems, not quite as purple as they look in the pics from the soft white bulbs, but still red. i wasnt sure if it was from genetics, nutes, or from temps. temps dropped down around 50F a couple nights after i put them in flower, suprised me even.
about the spidermites, gonna go grab some neem in a couple hours, any tips on applying it?
DocBud, also about the WW strain, i see most places say about 8wks flower time but just read that if i let go 10 weeks i will see alot more trich production. how long did yours flower? and do you think they could have gone longer with much difference?
thanks
Hey bro!
I suppose the purple could be from the temps. I'm pretty sure WW isn't supposed to be purple.
Regarding spidermites, I did win the battle....I harvested....but I did not kill all the mites. I knocked them down, killed the live ones, but never quite got all the eggs. So, I had a small infestation right until the very end. My yield was good, so I don't think they messed up the grow.
I've heard that neem tastes like crap....so don't use too much of it. Also, from what I've been able to read and learn about these SOB's (mites) it's easy to create spider mites that are immune to your pesticides. For that reason, use the Azatrol or Azamax, as their action does not create super mites.
Whatever you do, spray several times, 2-5 days in between applications.
My spidermite tactics were as follows:
Sprayed with Neem. At lights out, make sure to get the underside of the leaves good and wet.
A few days after that, I sprayed with Doctor Doom Spider Mite Knockout.
A few days after that, I sprayed with Azatrol
About 2 weeks after that I sprayed with Doctor Doom again, because you can't taste it, it's safe, and can be used up until the day of harvest. I did my final spray about a week prior to harvest.
I've added floramite to my arsenal for the next grow. And, I bombed my room and have Hot Shot No Pest Strips hanging in there right now. I'm gonna remove them on Monday and get the next grow started.
Regarding flowering time, I went by tricomes and harvested with about 10-20% amber. There were still some clear ones, and of course lots of cloudy.
Some experienced growers told me that I could have gone longer, but that it smokes better when harvested at the time I did. I lost a bit of yield, but still got over 2 ounces trimmed and dried from a single plant.
Total flowering time for WW was 63 days.....nine weeks.
I hope this helps.
might look up some home made treatments. any tips?
im pretty excited, this stuff is pretty much 100% purple, will take pics 
Mmmm, looks tasty and really really glittery too!
