Daytripr's misadventures in dwc

Ok most of you know my fist attempt was ruined by spider mites so after dropping nukes in my space (pyrethrin bombs and Floromite) I’ve started over. Here is the veg chamber. On the right is bubba kush unknown sex for now and in the middle is a mazar clone.

the seedling is blue dream and the ones in the cup are gorilla glue

probably can’t see them but there are 3 sbr x gohst tooth autos and 3 sbr x alaskan purple 2 autos 4 days old. Already throwing roots out the peat pellets so they got put in net pots in bubblers

Hope this goes better this time

Awesome to see these autos grown out. Did you ever figure out how you got mites the first time? Hopefully you can avoid a repeat performance.

:seat: :popcorn: :movie_camera:

Can you just edit the title and call this Daytripr69’s grow thread? We’ll follow along and help along the way.

Yeah my buddy gave me and another guy mites from his space. That’s where the bubba kush and mazar came from. I drowned them in Floromite before they came in the house.

Thanks for the well wishes folks. I had to kill my gsc way early and dried it but it tastes disgusting. I’m guessing mite bodies or spinosad residue. I’ll update every few days

I’m just having my first crop come in without mites in the last 3 or 4 grows. Damn near quit growing over it. :frowning:

I’ve been wanting to get ahold of Mazar for ages. A couple strains I have got some in it and they are the best for my depression. I may just have to cough up for some beans and get some growing. Got a few strains from Sebring’s site in the mail that need to get started too. Too many!

Good luck with the DWC. I’ve done a lot of those and they sure can be productive if bugs don’t get in the way.

:peace:

Want a cut? Have no clue how to ship one but I’d more than happy to make a cut and get it rooted in a cube and sent out. Let me check with my buddy who gave it to me and see if he has beans left, he owes me a few for the gorilla, blue dream and mk ultra beans I gave him

@LabRat know the feeling between mites and powdery mildew ,thrips I was in a 3 grow slump ready to pull the plug on growing as well !

Glad to hear you’ve got a handle on things this round it can be stressful and maddening at times but well worth it when the grow succeeds .

Little update bubba kush is a girl well at least one of them
The blue dream seedling thats 2 weeks old


Gorilla glue seedlings
And then we have a problem. Not today Satan not today
Promptly killed the this plant as it had the tale tell spots on the leaves and sprayed everything in the veg chamber with this
It appears as if my friend still has mites. I checked the 3 he gave me but i missed something. Will follow up written Floromite in 5 days

That would be cool but is a big hassle for you. You can buy containers specifically for shipping clones but they aren’t cheap. A few beans would be great and I have lots to trade with.

Ooh, you got to give them stronger light the second they come up to prevent that excess stretching. There’s always some but that’s a hell of a lot. Nice trick to support them tho!

I would not use that Oberon stuff on a plant. It’s super toxic. Spraying the room with proper PPE maybe but not on a plant I planned to smoke someday. Insecticidal soaps with pyrethrums like Safer’s End All with a dash of canola or neem oil gets them and won’t poison the plant or you.

I got my last mites from plants a buddy gave me and knew they were there when I got them. He supplies clones to large grow dudes and those plants were in a greenhouse outside by themselves as he got them from a friend who had to move suddenly. There was ice on a puddle on the dirt floor when I got them so it was take them or they were soon gone. I should have known better. lol

I’ve battled all of those over the last 20 years and mites are the worst.

Twice I’ve got rid of thrips by hand but have lost whole grows to mites in the past.

The last 3 grows I used some window screen on the end of the crevice tool for the vacuum to attempt to keep the numbers down but it was obvious that the plants suffered greatly in terms of yield and potency.

Still no sign of any bugs this grow!

:peace:

The Oberon is basically forbid, it has 28 day latency and these will be in veg much much longer than that and even then the ones you see will all be moms. I could flower them after 28 days with no worry as the ob would be gone by then. I’m going to get some rosemary oil and spray the autos with that because i wasn’t getting the ob near them. Granted the autos were never near that plant and that plant never in their space so they should be good. I’m not playing this mite game lol figured it was best to drop the nuke now then wish I had later and lose another grow

Not much change one of the autos a week from sprout. They are under my 1000w hps with the ballast set at 500 until they show roots out of the net pot


gorilla glue 2 weeks from sprout

The other bubba kush turned out to be a girl but I found mite eggs on her so she was cut up clones cleaned and the rest discarded.

Nice looking clones tho, still.

Time for a little update. The sugar black rose x gost toof 2 and sbr x alaska purple 2 a day shy from 2 weeks from seed. Just now showing roots out of the net pots so i hope they take off soon.



My clone/seedling/mom box is getting crowded so I’ll be throwing another together later today with some led shop lights i came across. Here’s my gorilla glue seedlings. One don’t look like it wants to do anything but we’ll see
My lone blue dream is starting to get a bit bigger

Got a second bubba kush seedling doing well with the transition from soil to dwc

My mazar mom this one may be the one of the two i have that I’ll keep. She’s trying to take over

Finally the bubba kush cuts

Almost forgot about the gg clones from a fiend i gave a seed to so that’s 3 different gg so I’ll have to s which one is a keeper

The autos would probably be a little bigger had I not mixed their nutes way to weak. Put 1 gal nutes in a 4 gal bucket so they got a quarter of an already weak solution. They were only getting 200ppm and 112 of that is the water. Got them at 750ppm now so hopefully they like actually getting fed instead of a starvation diet
