SanibelGreen's LED/Bubbletronics Grow (1st)

[SanibelGreen]

It may not be to late the nutrient problem is an easy fix, clear your tank and start over at 1/4 nutes and give it a few days before you increase your nutes up, the mites if you wash the leaves both back and top with a light soapy water with a cloth or something! then get a good treatment spray them, clean everything else with some kind of disinfectant but you need to starilize as much as possible then keep an eye on it every day, the egg's hatch every 5 days, but you also need to kill the queens that are roaming around on the plant to! they are bigger an can be seen with out a scope, little black dot's that move very slowly, but move they do, they can ruin the end result's of a grow if allowed to infest during budding, the bud's will be unsmokable.

Much luck friend.

Thanks man I can only hope for the best now

Sanibel im sorry to hear about the mites man. Hopefully your homemade solution rids them quickly before they can get a good hold of your babies. Do you still have more seeds incase the unspeakable happens?

 

[SanibelGreen]

I have 10x whatever seeds from Nirvana, these were all fems sadly but this morning they are looking better. I did 50/50 Ph'd water and rubbing alcohol with a dab of dishwasher soap. sprayed every 20 mins last night for a couple hours, they look up this morning and no new dotted leaves. Hoping it is smooth sailing now

If you do not have anything else to use, use Ivory Soap! Just make some soapy water and wash them down good.
I've seen two growers swear the Hot Strips work, but I do not know how or what they really are.

Good Luck! Do Something FAST!

Thanks Rose, I'll update some pics soon with some new growth/death on leaves and maybe we can get a diagnosis because I am starting to second guess myself.

New day new problem, one for sure has spider mite bites. lil white dots and such. I am going to raise the humidity about 65% to try to kill them, and other easy remedies or....

Reading that made me so paranoid I just went and sprayed for the sake of it, very lightly of course. Whew!

Sorry if I made you or anyone else a bit paranoid, I know what them little mites can do if left unchecked, just keep loving your babies, misting them with a flora spray will show any webs for future reference, someone suggested the hotstrips not sure who it was or where to get them either! but am looking in to it.

They should be okay if you keep an eye on them.

That really sucks about the mites, hopefully those bad boys were killed when you wiped down the leaves. Good luck

Alright I think I zapped the little bastards...dmg has been done but leaves are now rising and seem to be coming back, more and more roots have been growing and water Ph is steady at 5.9 with nutes

Pics of what I think is mite damage and if you see anything else let me know!!!

As always ask anything and let me know if you see anything different

Sanibel, I really worry if you got 100% completely rid of those spider mites and their eggs.

Sorry I forgot to say that all those pics except the last one are before spraying. I am gonna go get some Calmag soon too, I'd like to hear your thoughts about it but if I did have a Mg Def. before wouldn't I have a Calcium as well? pics from the problem forum kind of suggest it, worth a try in my mind anyway. What do you think?

The leaves that were damaged are drying up now and are lookign grim but the newer growth is looking good again.

Your question is one that I have no expert advice for.

I got a buddy who recommends Cal Mag for everything that looks bad, and it always surprises me how often the growers try it and it fixes everything. Ont he Cal Mag site and bottle, it says that using an electric pump in the water messes with the minerals and so CAl Mag is needed. I don't know. I know many growers says it helps. My problem is why isn't there enough already in the nutrients?
Try it and see !

That nute question about not being enough in there us what I was thinking so I might be switching to the bottled like fox farm or gh it something. Mixing would be easier too I think, but the experience gains here over the last week is huge learning a lot more than I thouht so I am kinda happy about the troubles.
