Ok , I was talkin to my uncle in Oregon tellin him whats been goiin on and he thinks its spider mites. It kinda makes sense the way he explained it and everything I have read. I am working on finding a solution for mites asap before she dies, I thought it was getting better but after going to work and coming home it seems to have worsened. I can see no bugs or webs, I don't have a magnifing glass. I still went and flushed her tonight, PH is at 6.2, about right I think.....Hopefully things look up for her of I think I'll just haveta start over, or let her go till she dies........:(

Check your plants for little back spots on the leafs. If you see none, check the underside with a magnifine glass. Also, check your top soil for anything moving. If you think its that, I advise you to get some ladybugs. Its really hard to say what it is for sure because we are not there. So your uncle grows?

See plant problems can be really tricky. Did you test your runoff PH too? Got any recent pics of her? Not sure she will die, they are very strong. The good thing is, once you find the problem, in the future you will know what to look for. As you grow different strains, you will start to know that strain. I think your doing a great job

Posted this on like pages 6 and 8 but no one answered so I'll ask again. Right now my plants are on day 13, and if I give them 4 weeks of veg and 8 weeks of flower that leaves me with a harvest date of April 8th. What day are you guys harvesting your plants so that they can be dried and then (at all?) cured?

First time grow so want to plan this so I can have the best 420 ever...haha
I think everyone will be harvesting at different times. As long as you have it ready for 420. So just make sure you have time to dry and cure your bud. You should make it in the nick of time.

im gonna have some mata curing from feb to 420...oh yeah! strting to see some nice orange hairs!!!!!
Sounds good twisted!

My Afgan and jerry berry will be ready to smoke the first week of march. Then the AK would be coming up, then the skunk. I also have a citrial in another rotation

So probably something from my 2nd rotation will make it in time. But I really would like to smoke some Afgan on the 420!

Sounds good thanks for the response. Is there any minimum amount of time you guys would suggest for this drying and curing? I have seen that 4 day bud dryer on here, but don't know how long you guys would suggest for curing (don't really want to wait a long time for the initial smoke).

Thanks guys

if your gonna take the time to grow good bud, take the time to cure your stuff...dont use a bud drier...if you want set aside a little for that day and cure it different and faster..but take care of the rest of it

Yeah that's my plan, I'll just quick dry enough stuff for 420 and a little after, and then properly cure the rest hopefully.

Just in case I got on ebay after lookin into mites and found some neem oil. I got the guy talked into sending it to me before he gets the money order cause I need it so bad, we should both be getting our stuff at the same time so it will work out for us both!!! It's 100% organic neem oil

I use a mild solution of dish soap and wash it off for mites works great for me.Your plant has been thru alot of stress and hope it pulls thru cause i think it has alot of potential!

if your gonna take the time to grow good bud, take the time to cure your stuff...dont use a bud drier...if you want set aside a little for that day and cure it different and faster..but take care of the rest of it
I have found over the yrs of growing the slower the cure the better results.Taste and Potency IMO improves drastically with a long cure!!

If ya' don't believe him, take it from me!
Took two lower nugs last week, dried and cured it all week long,just the two buds, and it still tasted like shat!!!
somebody told me allow about three weeks for curing alone.
Drying could be like 3-5 days, depending on bud size. then a few more days in bags.
Don't ruin a crop, of any size, due to impatience. If i can do it, you can do it.
Right Beech? Am i not the most impatient person you know? LOL!!!:-P

If i was your DR you would be on Valium,i would be worried about you having anxiety attacks and then the bigone, Heartattack!!!LMF thers a big difference in drying and allowing it to Cure! like a month long cure,when you put it back in plastic bags it will put moisture back in them, use paper bags they work alot better at removing moisture!!They would taste alot better if you had used Molassas,are mine do!!!Thats if your using plastic, which I bet you are??
