Got some bud sites starting to show on the plants. Been on 12/12 for 9 days now. Everything seems to be doing well so far. The plants in the 5 gallon containers have 2 parts roots organic soil and 1 part Bu’s blend compost with a Clackamas coot mineral mix pack from build a soil. Been top dressing once a week with fresh ground malted barley and water. Some recharge every once in a while too. The 3 gallon pots have the same soil mix with no mineral mix. Been using nectar from the gods nurtient line. The free sample one you get from the website. The get some barley and recharge too.
defer to the other more exp’d OGers than me please
but I’d go straight to my neem-pyrethrin spray. after that it’s ‘essential oils’ based stuff or H2O2 in flower…
it’s just Monterey brand spray. it’s on Calif’s banned list.
i get the concentrate & dilute as per instructions. i think i hit mine every other day for a week or 10 days when i had spider mites but those were in veg.
Its been a hot minute since I last gave a garden update. This monday will be week 4 of 12/12. So far everything is going pretty well. I only have found the one leaf with the spider mite. I have sprayed the plants a few times after the discovery. I ordered a humidity controller the other day to help keep the humidity down during the later stages of flowering. Right now the exhaust fan is what im using to control humidity and thats on a timer. The timer is on for a half hour and off for a half hour so no real control over humidity. Most of the plants are starting to pack on some good amounts of frost also.
Sad day in the garden today. Got the ol double whammy. First i noticed some pollen sacks that have formed on some small lower buds. Noticed pollen falling as i was snipping some branches too. Then i also noticed these weird bulbous shaped bugs hanging out by some buds. Tried to get a picture of them. They do not look like spider mites and they are on the top part of the plant. Overall im pretty bummed out to say the least. I sprayed all the plants down after working in there today to maybe knock down the pollen i stirred around. Ahhh.
I was also wondering if these plants may have been pollenated by the male i found a few weeks ago or if they were hermies. I didnt find any nanners just pollen sacks.
Not that I recall… but red stems & undersides of leaves on 90% of the RCB.
I don’t see the stuff in the picture but am sorry to hear… Maybe get some replacement plants going before you get destructive.?
