FUCK BUGS -- but that is for sure an Aphid in there, you can argue the antennas all you want thinking they're pistils, but, me and that aphid made eye contact, lol, cant argue against that.

Anyways, they wont do any harm at this point, I can't wait for some harvest photos.

won't do any real damage.

with most pests that size, it really takes a lot of them to cause any definitive damage, and a decent amount of time. You'll be fine :)
That is good to know, I dont want to :shock:((FREAK OUT)):shock: or anything. LOL.

Lol, yeah the little fucker. I was zoomed way in on the photo checking the trichs and I panned over to this bug and it actually spooked me a little.lol Just wasn't expecting to see em.

Most people never notice the pests they have living in their gardens. they typically become noticeable when their populations increase ;). I would say in 97% of all gardens there is minimal insect activity that goes unnoticed, even in grows where some activity is noticed, the full span of insect activity is not noticed ;).

I definatly believe that. I am so anal, I stare at my medium, moving the top around - I torn over almost every fan to check the bottoms- meticulaously inspect the buds and I still didn't see this guy until I reviewed the pics.

And there is a LOT more than you can see even with all that laborious checking ;). I am very much the "it is what it is type".... and you don't typically see any damage from most of the unoticed activity, once damage is noticeable pests are more easily noticeable as well, and thus the insects activity is discovered. Thats why its all about preventative measures followed up by tight maintenance and meticulous observations...... I myself, am a hypocrite about these kinds of advice at times and in certain ways ;) ..... just cuz I know whats right, doesn't mean I always do whats right ;)..... because in my eyes, the only perfection, is the perfect imperfection that reality allows us to explore ;) ...... Im happy with my results ;), and I am sure you will be as well :D.

From Whence I first saw your journal, I also saw the road before you. I saw success, I see success, and I predict the ever better next time as well. The growing process is not plant specific, that is ridiculous, but grower specific, YOU are the growing process, whenever you see your plants open your eyes to see the shiny mirror reflect, that you are beautiful my friend.

I am just at awe to behold your brilliant bloom over and over again, :). Should I be so lucky :D .... should we?

Thank you so much for the kind words bud.

You have an amzing first grow yourself my friend. many props to you.

So I spent some time going through my buds tonight and couldn't find anything. I did however notice the hair clusters look like they can form an illusion. So I am 70/20 now that it was just hairs. Either way there isn't any kind of infestation.

Here are a couple examples.



This is what I see when I open my veg box now. So crowded!

Looking damn good. Cut date coming around the week? Like your veg room. Looks nice and full
Yeah, early Friday morning, right when the lights would normally come on is when I will start to cut. I have been debating on whether I will just cut as I trim or cut all of them and them start trimming. Either way, 2 days left.

Looking forward to it. My "supposed" PKs are about ready to clone for sex. Anyway they could be hermie seeds and still be ok?

So it looks like that may have been an aphid after all that I found on my ladies. Today these little fuckers showed up in my veg room.

try and get rid of those buggers quick. they spread fast and will attract ants into your garden. i had them on my mothers and they spread into my flower tent on my last grow. i didnt catch them until i was harvesting. to get rid of them mix soap and water and spray under leaves. i just dipped my whole plants in the solution... they havent been back since.

I wa thinking of dipping them too, but they are pretty big. They are about 2' tall , maybe I can fill the bath tub with a soap solution. i am supposed to move them to the flower room this weekend and they have outgrown the veg room, so have to launch a major attack on the.

Everything is looking good bro, the damn fucking bug starred me down and said fuck you to me.
Thank you buddy. Yeah he kept moving around on the leaf when I was taking his picture flipping me off the whole time..I flipped him off as I flushed him down the towlet. :finger:

yea is that an aphid for sure? just wanna make sure everyone agrees, looks black

Raider, u gonna experiment with giving the plants or a plant 36 hours of darkness before harvest? never seen anyone do it on here for evidence, ppl say they bulk up thinking death is near..

36 hours is about the max a plant can stay alive without light. Buds grow at night. never done it side by side, but have gotten some good results. I also don't give them any water or anything for the last few days because I think it helps them dry out a bit before chop.
