Sorry to hear about the bugs. Are you going to do another indoor grow?
I'm going to finish these off and I might take a break for awhile. I have plenty of beans to pop and plenty of smoke on hand. I think I am going to have to spray again, there are still live adults on my plants.

I believe I have found the answer to the aphid problem. I tried some insecticidal soap today on one of the girls and 90% of the bugs were gone this afternoon. Now that I've found the cure I can even use it to save my zucchini plants, YAY! I'll leave the girls outside until I'm sure they are gone. I'm almost equal to 12 hours daylight anyway so I could finish them off outside if I wanted I think.

I am experimenting with bug control. I've sprayed 3 of the NP with ins. soap, and one with some new spinosad I just received. The Straw Cheez seem to be not as appetizing to the aphids for some reason, their leaves do seem to be a little tougher. The SC are still inside my room. The plants are about the same height as my tomato plants so they blend in well outside. I'll have to pull out the SC sometime soon to get them sprayed also. I'll get some pics up when they quit drooping from being wet.

Nice job! Congratulations that’s admirable.

9-9, 6 weeks on 12 hours. I've moved them outside to spray them and I am thinking about finishing them there, if they don't get too fragrant. Sprayed the Straw Chz with Spinosad today, they were nowhere near as infested as the NP were. I did some selective defoliation to make sure I could get all the lower branches sprayed well. Buds are getting heavy and I'm still figuring out how to support them all.IMG_0324.JPG IMG_0325.JPG IMG_0326.JPG IMG_0327.JPG

Checked the trichomes on the girls today, NP is ready to be cut and hung. Going to spray them off with water to reduce any added protein from the bugs. The SC plants are still clear, so I'll let them go awhile longer. The most efficient spray for the aphids was definitely the insecticidal soap, the spinosad seems to work better on white flies.

Thank you. I will see in about a week when they dry out and I can get them on the scales, no 1/2 pound plants in this group.
Your welcome. You have a nice supply and should be very proud of yourself and all your hard work and dedication is commendable. There’s always next time to try to meet new goals , challenges and opportunities . I wish you the best in your future endeavors, Good luck and happy growing!

Seems strange to not have any plants to water or check in on. Just waiting for these to dry out so I can get a weight from them. 6 plants under 2 315W CMH bulbs is a bit much to get good coverage.

Doing a quick synopsis. First two plants were vegged just over 13 weeks, and harvested 10-11 weeks after flipping. I took 8 clones from them. Straw Cheese ended up being 6.3 oz, and the Napali was 7.4 oz of fluffy buds, it needs to be grown outdoors.
Clones were vegged 14 weeks and flowered 6 1/2 weeks. The 4 NP weighed out at 6 oz.
