Got my veg+bloom. Smells like Gatorade. Yum!
Awesome man, it does smell like Gatorade lmao. You'll love the stuff. So easy to use

Geez you grow some beautiful buds Alpha, such a pleasure to watch :-D
Thanks guys! The ghostrider show should be excellent, new strain for me and it's growing Hella fast now. I'm flowering 9 of them under a 1000w as soon as I chop the gdp in 3 weeks :)
If not i have some from the ghouse bottom larff. Like 50 or so from the 4 gg i had
Awesome bro, I'm seeing that some glue s1 are coming out better than the original! Should be some epic stuff in there

Hey bro! Thanks! Happy to see ya stopping in here, I'm definitely loving the flood trays, keeps everything organized and easier on the back that's for sure.

And man, I wish I could say it's sunny and 75, but with this El Nino this year, it got so cold real fast. Luckily the snow hasn't stuck around for long though, pretty much gone over night. Stay warm bro and don't be a stranger!

I don't mind the snow if the next day is warm and it all melts lol. But I think this year might be bad for snow in nor Cal. Tell the wife I said happy belated birthday! Man I haven't had a dab in quite some time :)

3/3 glue s1 beans popped in about 30 hours or so :D super stoked. I picked up the wood I needed to build a trellis for the glue and some new 5x5 nets, I'm gonna put it together tomorrow and change the caps in the ballast so the lighting will be back to a1 so I don't screw myself again lol. The the glue will flower Friday. They are getting totally out of control and I may have over vegged this time, but they literally doubled in size this week, what a trip!

wow, thats some growth! Congrats on 3/3! I just laid down 35 beans myself, mostly for male selection and 2016 season
Hell yeah bro, I'm stoked they popped :) can't wait to see what's in there. Popping beans is always fun, you should find something good with 35, about perfect timing to get started for outdoor for sure. I don't think I'll have any outdoor going on until late 2016 :(

So the borg aka russet mites, have entered the area. Those cuts I picked up a few months ago must have had dormant russet mites because just over the week they totally demolished my buddies garden and I'm feeling terrible :( I haven't seen them yet but it's probably only a matter of time since I have some of the same cuts :( it's scary shit and freaking me out!!!! I won't be trading or taking in cuts for a long time because seeing the damage they cause is enough to make me way cautious now :( such a bummer

Anyone have any advice about the mites? How long they stay dormant and what to look for when they wake up and start messing shit up? Can I catch them early? How to kill them, any info at all post it here please, I'm pretty scared my garden might take a shit soon

I use the SNS line myself. They have control and concentrate. I use SNS-217 as a drench, Doctor Doom foliar, and a shot of AzaMax as a second drench., but it says Spider mites, so not sure how effective it will be against russets. Also the SNS-209 is my general pesticide.
GL ATB!

@adower I've heard russet are the worst and by the damage I saw at my buddies, the worst is an understatement.

I'll check nuggs thread and see what I can find, thanks @Vnsmkr

Much appreciate the kind words @eastcoastmo - it's an all out war on bugs now!!! I checked everything in my garden and haven't seen anything even with a 200x scope, but I'm still worried because the ghostrider cuts are the most recent cuts that were near some plants with the russet mites :(

Do you have russet mites @Mohican ? If so does no pest strip work? I know those work killer for regular mites but I've never had the microscopic kind so I'm not sure what to do, the pest strip is my go to for regular mites though, it'll take care of them in a couple days, must be sure to turn off all exhaust and then follow up 2 or 3 days later and put them back in (the mite eggs hatch every 4 days I think, but don't quote me, but that's why the follow up is needed.) and don't breath it in!! Other than that it's the best for bugs :)

I'll look into the sns stuff @SupaM I honestly don't know much about pest control other than my pest strip I use rarely.

Russets are scary shit!!!

On a good note, I finished up building the trellis frame and got the ebb buckets all hooked up. Filled the res and did a test run, no leaks. Added the bennies. Just need to throw the plants into flower tomorrow now. Oh and I installed the new capacitors for the ballasts :) I'm shot now though, was a busy day and I need to wind down with some smoke 8-)

Oh, and I'm glad I kept this batch, they are getting fat fast now!! Biggest (well longest) indoor glue buds I've seen to date :) the glue is one hell of a good candidate for a sea of green!

No worries bro, good vibes coming your way :)
Good news you can't find any, keep up tje drenches and they should stay away hopefully, they sound nasty as! Fingers crossed the new clones aren't affected!
Man, that glue looks ridiculous!! I bet you are stoked you kept them :-D
