Hay @duke, me too I don’t want to jinx this, but they seem gone!!! I wish I had a camera sort of scope. I’ve got a student type lab top monster, and I do not see any movement, lotsa dead bodies though
1000’s of eggs on the effected leaves, though… maybe millions… it’s fascinatingly gross!
I’ve had the two-spotted ones before, and I was really complacent with treatments. They took me a donkey’s age to get rid of. Used Azamax on them, but now that’s been bought up by the Scott’s/Hawthorne/Bayer cartel, who I’d rather not support… and is crazy expensive.
The 2 spotted and their eggs are easy to see even with my crappy vision. These are tiny, red, with red eggs, and hard to see without a good scope. I don’t know if they make webs, I haven’t seen any.
I used some $10 neem extract from a box store this time. It’s not supposed to kill them, just make 'em go off their feed and forget to fuck, kinda like Shakers, lol! It’s not supposed to mess with the eggs, either. It’s been 4 days since the last spray, If the eggs are alive, they should be hatching.
That fogger I showed was worth every penny if everything is dead…Still can’t figure out where they came from, so I’m still keeping an eye out.
Enough of that stuff, right?
Well, sort of the only SSDD F1 cut that took was covered in those little bastards. She’s recoverd, and I don’t see any eggs! Time really does slow down in the crawlspace… it’s been 69 days since she was cut!
These are/were the infested donors. They are so raggedy, I think I’ll only keep them till I’m sure some of the cuts have rooted. I’m not sure they’d be suitable to hit with any splooge I get from the seedlings?
She’s hanging with F1 seedlings… most all are bigger than she is. 27 DFS for them.
2x of them are looking a bit sketchy, but the others look very nice. None look like my keeper, though.
When I cut that lagging SSDD, I also topped the Blueberry Diesel. I stuck them in a cup of water upstairs in our sunroom on a whim. It was an experiment, just sat them in well water, tucked under some orchids, and they only got a smattering of daily sunlight.
I wasn’t really going to grow them out, but their mom is now looking so hot, why not? I potted them up today, 72 days later!
Do you think they’re hungry?
I am loving the way mom BBD is carrying herself, perfect structure for the hoop and canes. I’m slowly getting some sense of smell back. Although I have no idea what it is, I smell something off of her!
Rarely seen pics under the lights… no flash! 31 DFF.
The Lemon Kush is getting pretty hefty, at least on one side! I’m glad it’s to the left 59 DFF
Light stress? She’s under a 315 on a mover. I give her a 1/4 turn daily, but these leaves are pretty much in the center. Good thing she’s almost done, but I do think they look pretty cool zipped up like that.
Her buds look so much more defined with the flash, and as long as I’m doing the Sunday dump!
Temps were down in lo 60’s earlier in the week, back up to 69°F last couple of days, which is where the crawl usually stays in the winter. RH has been from 50-55%.
Thanks to everyone who stooped in, hope you kept the cobwebs outta your hair. Sorry this was such a long one, I’ve been sampling some of the Herer HP… it definitely slows things down
