First time grower. LED + Hps grow in 4x4 tent

[growin-Jables]

If when you say stressed plant you mean unhealthy plant then yes, it is natures way of removing the weakest and sickest genetics, sick plants are tastier to bugs. This allows the healthy plants near the sick plants to finish flowering while the sick plants get devoured.

Thank you very much for verifying this.. very helpful to know. Hard to imagine it was just coincidence that they were the only ones infected.

I completely agree with bubba but I can't see a branch break only causing those two to get infected if the mites were in the room

 

[growin-Jables]

Yeah its jist really weird. I mean since the branches had broke. The growth slowed dramatically. Strains were gorilla glue #4 and grape ape. Maybe the fact they were unable to create new healthy growth fast enough caused them to be really week against fighting them off. I even took my jewlers loupe x60 and inspected leaves last night and didmt even see any eggs let alone mites. I've been treating with Azamax once a week along with a hot shot no pest strip thrown in for a day once a week. I also turn off my exhaust on those days . Also, the day after the gorilla glue started showing symptoms was when the grape ape started to show . Only a 4x4 tent so its just baffling me they didnt get to the other two.

Update: end of week 2 of flowering and everything seems to be going pretty good! My gorilla glue #4 Is showing some weird symptoms though. The outside edges of the leaves are slightly curling inward. Also the curled parts have white texture to them. The leaves that shows these characteristics feel waxy almost. Tempts are stable at 75-80 degrees. Humidity is 50-60%. Not sure what's going on. None of the other 3 plants show any of these symptoms. Gorilla glue still looks healthy for the most part and still have some decent sized buds starting! Here are some pics! The quicksand kush is doimg amazing. Almost wish i had done all 4 quicksand kush. I just purchased a blueberry kush cut so hopefully next batch I want to do 2 quicksand kush. And 2 blueberry kushes. I'll try to get pictures of the gorilla glue . But for reference. The grape ape is in back left corner. Og ghost train haze is back rigjt corner. Quicksand kush is front right corner and gorilla glue #4 Is front left corner

Hmmm I don't think this was what your referring too....the buds that were near infected leaves had almost no pistils. Never grew bigger than a marble. And growth came to a halt. Grape ape showed same symptoms. I have a clone from it so I'm gonna try roumd 2 with on my next batch. As of right now I'm impressed with quicksand kush. It's sooo sooo sticky already and buds are very decent sized for end of week 3. It's grows so much faster than any other strain ive delt. With I want to do a full 4 quicksand scrog in the near future

 

[growin-Jables]

Here's a couple pics of the og ghost train haze and quicksand kush for comparison. I know the OG GTH takes longer to flower but the difference is very noticeable first two are of train haze and 2nd 2 pics are quicksand kush

Bro I was talking about ur GG#4 I seen u said on first 1st or 2nd thread that the gg had curved leaves I heard that means it the real deal GG#4 just letting u know I read that on here

 

[growin-Jables]

This is going to be my first harvest completely on my own. I'm curious to how my plants look for being at the end of week 3 of flower. I have been using botanicare sweet raw for sugar. Botanicare calmag plus. Roots organics Buddha grow and bloom. My outdoor girl just started flowering this week and ive been doing a trial run with general hydro organics line using bio marine and bio bud and bio thrive bloom. Feeding ever other watering. It's a sunset sherbet cut I put outside June 21st.

 

[chuckie86]

That sux u had to take them.two.outta your tent they were looking real healthy to.i been having issue with my plants and.not.surd wtf is the.problem so I'm just letting.them.grow out

No I get what your saying dude. All im saying is its probably coincidence that they carry that characteristic . But if you Google russet mite damage. You will see pics of leaves curling the exact same way. If the plant wasn't infested , then it would of continues growing perfectly fine. That and grape ape had identical leaves. I never ever saw any curling leaves for the 4 weeks of veg time the gg had. Thank you for the input though man its good to know for future reference

 

[chuckie86]

That's.nice looking bitch right there nice job I loved growing outdoors last year but it's not.legal here so I didn't.do.a outdoor grow this year but my outdoor plants always.looked really good well other.then the damn bugs had.to.always spray them.withshit

 

[growin-Jables]

Yeah i just said fuck it and put two outside to see if the mites would get eaten out there. Unfortunately with russet mites, by the time you see there damage. It's usually to late to do shit. They dony spindle webs and thete not visible with the naked eye. Much smaller than spider mites. Need a x60 loupe just to see them. I'm just happy 2 of them made it this far. What kinds of symptoms are you showing bro?

 

[chuckie86]

Oh yeah thought I had the russet mites one.time.they say ur leafs will get real shinny looking also cuz.mine.did but never seen any bugs

I get bugs on my plant but I usually leave them be. As long as my leaves aren't getting chomped on I assume those bugs are beneficial to the plant. Why else does ALL other vegetation thrive outside. Balanced ecosystem keeps threats like mites to a minimum with othee predator bugs.

 

[chuckie86]

Here's a few pics of my plants not sure wtf is going on only one of the 6 in flower are doing good and ones in veg

 

[growin-Jables]

What's your nutrient regimen? I'm not very experienced so take any Input of mine with a grain of salt. Given majority of the plant looks good just the select few leaves yellowing , to me it looks lile nutrient burn. Or possible PH issue. Not sure if you ever ph test your runoff to get an idea where your soil ph is sitting. What's kimd of soil are you using ?

 

[chuckie86]

I just got some GG#4 from expert seeds and also got gorilla bomb n cherry bomb fems can't wait to grow them out I have just popped a 12 pack of super sour deisel from hazemans and albino fire skunk OG from digital genetics there just regs but are going decent so far hope to get some fire outta these

 

[chuckie86]

I think I'm using promix and happy frog and I usually never test my pH this last feed I did pH to 6.4 and used this stuff called mega crop it's a powder nutes a guy on here told me about it and I got it for free just paid shipping I think it's also called geenleaf nutes so I tried it going to wait n see what happens

 

[chuckie86]

I was wondering if the soil I'm using isn't the problem I never have this many issues the dirt I use it's promix by Lambert or sup to be same thing as promix I mixed that will some happy frog ill have to try just some ffof by itself n see what happens I was using general organics go box and it didn't seem to work

 

[growin-Jables]

I've been using the go box organics as well. But mostly jist for flowering. I use FFOF + extra worm castings with 20 - 30% extra perlite. hit ton extra perlite. It seems to work extremely well in all stages. The only time it burns is when I transplant my clones into soil for first time. Edges get a little burnt but the do just fine after.i don't use any nutes for first 3 and a half to 4 weeks simce thats when ffof nutrients become depleted. Are you giving them nutes every Feeding? Are you using all go box products reccomended during flowering? Bio bud , thrive bloom, calmag, bio marine ?
