I have applied nematodes and Stratio. S. (H. Miles) mites, that will eliminate the larva. I have been spraying the adults with Method-1 PPS, but need yellow sticky traps to break the life cycle.

Follow the instructions I guess, my H. Miles just appeared in my worm bin. I assume they hitched a ride with my worms. Good thing they are beneficial huh?

Hydro Grass Monkey (Update 3/29/18)
Operations Report:
Low Stress Training (LST) has been effecive to manage height and able to provide additional light to the secondary growth.
Sex of each plant have not been comfirmed as of yet. Once the plants shows, I will take clones of each female.
2 plants have trifoliate anomalies (one actually has a quidfoliate). Each plant has 2 growth shoots of this anomaly. Each affected growth shoot is throwing at least 3 leafs each node continuing as it grows.
These same 2 plants (GM#1, GM#5) with the anomalies appear to have velvet green leaves, accelerated growth, lengthy thick but pliable stems, and quick root growth. I would have to classify them together as Phenotype#1 (P#1)
3 out of the 6 plants (GM#3, GM#4, GM#6) have more glossy leaves, normal growth rate, remain compact and have very thick and stiff stems, and quick root growth. I would classify these as Phenotype#2 (P#2)
The 1 plant (GM#2) I did not mention is a runt, very slow veg growth, very slow root growth. I am thinking of culling this plant as it is weeks behind its fellow plants.

Someone was asking me how far I had from the top of my soil to the bottom of the lights. Looks like about 19 inches.
The plants are about 10 inches now that they are all tied up.
The plants are ready to flip now, so today starts their first 12 hour night.

Do you trim or train at all? Love the structure of all of them.

GM1 is MOST DEF a male.
Gm3 looks male.
Gm4 I’m not sure of.
Gm6 Male.
And feel free to tell me ya’lls opinions but lets not debate, only comment if you’re sure so we don’t clog up this thread. GM1 is a no brainer. GM6 has clusters forming all over the plant so i’m pretty sure on that one too. I don’t know about 4 yet, and GM3 has lots of small tiny formations like the 2nd pic of GM3.
Edit: I’m for sure composting 1 and 6. No doubt in my mind about those.
3 and 4 are gonna sit tight in the cab a week or two longer until they show for sure.

And my trickster herm finally showed me it can’t be trusted… it has female flowers and a couple pistils but these big ole things on top…

I am clueless what you are saying here? Is this a Grass Monkey plant, and are you saying it is a hermaphrodite? Regardless as to what the strain is, that picture does not show anything that looks female and looks full blown male.

Yes it is a grass monkey… there are two nodes in the bottom with a pistil sticking out but yes… full blown male.
I left it for flower because of the pistil at the bottom but after 6 days in flower it’s showing me it’s male so it gets to be mulch now lol
Sorry for any confusion in my text @LED_Seedz
