Progress

[Airbone]

FYI I found pyganic to be great on mites but Spinosad seems better for thrips.
I put some fresh mixed pyganic directly on one of those thrips.
Slowed it down but it actually jumped and got away once it dried.
The captain jacks kills them on contact.
But captain jacks didn’t do the job on the spider mites I had on my outdoor.
But pyganic knocked the crap out of them.

I think I shared an experience that I had when I was trading clones, but if not, here goes:
There was another forum years ago, around 2010, called Cannetics. A lot of familiar handles from here and all the other popular cannabis sites at the time. Really cool place! Invite only and super secretive at the time (think Fight Club). Trading, testing, spreading the elite cuts was the name of the game.
The one and only time I've dealt with spider mites came from some clones that I was gifted from a member there. It was an absolute disaster. I used Dr. Dooms foggers, Azamax, etc. and I could not keep them from coming back. After dealing with them for over a year I finally shut it down and replaced my tents. I was much more selective when trading or taking in clones after that incident. I never wanna deal with those super mites ever again. Still gives me the heebie jeebies thinking about that mess.
Moral of the story, be selective when bringing in plants from outside sources. I won't even consider bringing home clones from the dispensary, and haven't brought any in to my current grow rooms since starting back up. Make a plan to quarantine plants that you're bringing in and do some preventative treatment from the moment they go near your grow room.

excellent advice

and do not forget the danger of bringing vegetable cuttings from the local store into your gardens

the tomato plants I bought from the nursery, unbeknownst to me were infested with spider mites and I’ve now fought them for the last 3 years , outdoors too!

last year was the best bug free year and ve had in several years , the early use of Spinosad and Pyganic on a regular basis knocked the mites out 100%

im ready for them bastiages if they come around agin this year

 

[WeedHopper]

I remember Cannetics.

One chopped and 8 more to go!
Ugh…
I hate trimming

 

[gmo]

I hate trimming

Me too!

 

[gmo]

Did ya get em all chopped down? Are you wet trimming or dry trimming? Either way, I feel for you. Trimming is by far my least favorite part of the grow.
I'm at day 43 of my grow, and suspect they'll be coming down at day ~63. I could probably start germination of the GMO x GTH in +/- 2 weeks. Is that gonna work for you?

 

[Airbone]

3 done 6 to go… work has not been cooperating with my grow schedule.
I wet trim and been cutting as I go.
But yes I will be ready,
Hanging in one tent and should be able to clean and nuke it in about a week.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried dry trimming? I find it easier when you're dealing with quantity.

 

[Airbone]

I agree. But I like bubble hash.
Dry trim seems to drop a lot of keif like you said when dry trimmed.
Do you process with scissors, or by hand?

 

[gmo]

That makes sense!
I dry trim with scissors.

Love seeing your progress as well!

Veg tent getting full,
Time to flip to flower

 

[Airbone]

And the Chemdawg and Bruce banner are right behind them.
Wow I am liking the smells of the Chemdawg already!

chemdawg in front Bruce banner in the back. The one Bruce banner in the back left is a very weak pheno, might just have to let that one go.

 

[Airbone]

Oh and the Carolina Reapers

 

[WeedHopper]

Looking good bro. Nice job.

 

[Airbone]

Girls got a trim and put in their flower tent. Giving them some time to adjust to the new light before I flip them to flower.
Bruce banner and Chemdawg ready for a transplant.

 

[Airbone]

The ones on the right went in two nights ago and are adjusting well to the stronger light.
Ones on the right were put in last night.
Definitely showing signs of light stress.
Even at 50% power.

 

[Airbone]

Girls adjusted to the 2 sp 3000.
Giving some bloom nutes and flip tonight.
In here I have
Cakes n cream
Sirius Black
Orange haze
Sticky Glue
And Pecan Pie

The pecan pie is definitely way more sensitive I’ve noticed.
They drink a lot more than everyone else.
Kind of a pain to keep up, having to water them in between normal watering.
“Note to self”
Less strains next time!
