I'm yet to see a season where we haven't had the bastards at all. It's not like they're out of control and that we get anything even remotely close to what you'd deem as an infestation, but even so, I'd prefer them to not be an issue what so ever. I'm an obsessive perfectionist and my mate/partner isn't so we clash over things like this all of the time. He's of the mentality that these things are normal and therefore tolerable so long as they don't become a problem. He'll often say shit like "It's the outdoors, what did you expect?" and then the clash commences.

From what iv learned this grow as long as ya taking preventive measures threw out the entire grow like stayin on top of ipm an try an reduce other factors alnog the way it will help reduce the chances of being wipe out by pests but ya gotta always expect to have something drop in from time to time an be ready to deal with them as the problem arises.
Your growin partner would do me head in but some people never learn, even if i had been growin 50 years an think knew everything there is to kno i would still be lookin at betterin my skill set an listen to what others have to say. Same principle applies to everyday life ya not going to get any where if ya tellin everyone to fuk off cause you kno best

Man you're right on the money, he does do my head in - ALL OF THE FUCKING TIME! I've just got to be a little bit diplomatic about things and generally we're all sweet. Most of the time I'll just go ahead and do what I know's best for the plants without running it by him (as he does with me) and just let him see the benefits of it after I've gone and done whatever it was that I had to do. I go and acquire new cultivars and he whinges saying "I'm happy with what my mate gave me, I don't want nothing new!" and then I go and start them off anyway and now he's changed his tune and it was the best move I've ever made in his eyes.

I mean after all we're talking about a bloke who doesn't believe in manicuring as he sees it as a massive waste and doesn't cure his stuff even despite me showing him the difference in the end results. Some people are just set in their ways and will not be budged in the slightest. I keep trying to discuss/suggest all sorts of stuff in an attempt to improve the size of yields given the limited space we work with, improving the overall quality of his share of the yield and so on but alot of it gets dismissed with "Oh, that's only meant for when you're doing indoors - I don't do that shit!" and what have you.

I'm the exact opposite, I'm forever looking to improve on what I already know, get better results than last time and the rest of it. So I surely must do his head in just as much as he does my head so I guess I've always got to keep that in the back of my mind when dealing with him.

When did you start them off? I think I can remember you saying something about them having a late start this season, yeah? Was that you or am I confusing you with somebody else?

You ever done the Peyote Cookies from Barney's? I found a pheno in a that flowered in 6 weeks and it was completely smothered in mad glistening trichs. Sooooo many trichs stacked on top of trichs, it was fucking amazing. Smelt pretty nice too. Not the loudest or most memorable aroma (I'm struggling to recall the terp profile of it and that's not like me). However you did grow a little tired of it after smoking it for about a week.

That’s me started mid November from seed....I find the 8 Ball is predictable after a week or two for sure; never tried white widow it was a freebie from a couple of years ago.....
One thing I love with 8 Ball though is that you know it’s always taking you where you want to go....have to try the Peyote you mentioned; after Corona I would imagine Attitude will be having trouble shipping shit....

Still finding a them here an there. Ive hit the plants from underneath with the sprayer on the hose like you suggested them gave them a blow out but i didn get the kill a mite i used the natures way crap once the plants dried out
View attachment 4503092 then hit them with eco neem week later. Its not exactly your method but as im skeptical on hittin them with anything apart from water at this stage i thought doin what i did was better then nothing. Next grow i will be more prepared an if i get mites early flower i will go about it with your method..
On the postive i found some asian lady bettles amongst the plants an from what i read they eat mites, aphids etc

Perfect. Tbh giving them a good spray with the hose works wonders and they love it too.

I like finding lady beetles on mine too, but just look closely cos even tho lady beetles will eat spider mites their preferred diet is aphids, so just make sure u don’t have any of those too.
