Hopefully it will, i have heard the ww is a tuff strain, mine went through topping, LST, and defoliation and they have done great with it, never slowed them down a bit that i could tell. Good luck hope it works out for you.✌
 
You must have to take half out just to water .
You are right, it is a job just to water, i am going to get a 4by8 tent after i harvest and get some cash together so i can use my 4by4 to veg and the 4by8 to flower, i am also going to get 2 perfect sun cob for my 4by8.✌
 
Tom, you continue to rock this grow! I always walk away from your pics with a smile on my face.:volcano-smiley:
Thanks budmaker, i can't wait to get this first grow over with so i can invest in more lights and a 4by8 tent for flower. Hopefully everything keeps going smoothly for me.✌

I am thinking about ordering some ladybugs like you did, my tent is so crowded its hard to search real good, i take them out and look at them but its still hard and i would hate to get bugs now. I figured i could get some and turn loose in the room with hps and my tent just as a preventive measure, the way i see it is it is better to be safe than sorry and that house is old, i don't live in it so it wouldn't bother me. Do you think it would be a good thing to help prevent bugs.✌
 
Yah that would take hours to search every leaf lol-
The main thing with ladybugs I've learned , is if they are happy and have food (pests) they will lay eggs.
The larvae are actually what you want for major pest control- the adults do eat pests too .
I haven't really had any flying around the house - I ordered 750 , came with food that you mix in a spray bottle ( I only use a tiny bit per day)
Out of 750 .- about 100 were dead upon arrival( I expected that), and a bunch have got into the hood and popped , and I find a few dead DAILY on the floor too.
So I'd say about 50-100 actual beetles are still alive , kinda like natural selection lol.
They stay on the plants / dirt for the most part
Be prepared to sweep up dead beetles , and I am researching BUD WASHING because obviously if they lay eggs I'm gonna want to get those outta there .
I'll be experimenting with a few buds and wash em this week - I'll be posting lots of pics of the whole process
 
Looks great Tom. Really filled out, lots of bud sites and nice even canopy.

Excellent job!

I was just wondering what do you have in there for a circulation fan?
Thanks jay, i have a little 4in for some intake air and i have a 7in swivel fan blowing through the canopy, i also have a 6in exhaust duct fan. I have been thinking of getting another 7in swivel fan for the other corner of the tent, i figured it wouldn't hert to put another fan blowing on canopy, expecially were it is so crowded in there.✌

Thanks Philsthetent for the info, i think i will do it, i will also do the bud washing. I just worry about getting some kind of bugs, mites etc, especially the way my luck goes and i figure the ladybugs would be a good preventive measure, especially when you have already started flower. I see 1500 for $10, im going to go ahead and order them, it will be a fun little experiment lol.✌

I also leave the vents open at bottom of tent to bring air in.✌
