Thanks for the visits fellas. The mite war is on and so far ive been able to keep the population under control. Im seeing less and less of the black dots "mites" under the leaves sos that is a good sign. There are still a gang of egg sacs though so im know im not over the hump just yet.

Things are looking great! I think you have the upper-hand against the mites. I found out about the strips too late into the infestation! It still kept me from throwing them away. You live and learn though.

Sweet news DST ill be right on over.
Bassman you couldnt have put it better. Live and learn trial and error nobody is a pro from the git go thats for sure. Lots of learning curves on the way to a green thumb
I do believe i know how i aquired the spidermites. My air intake to the room pulls from a vent in my living room where my dog Rocco likes to lay in front of. Im thinking he was the host of the bastard mites and somehow got sucked of him and into the grow room. Just a theory lol.
As ive said in my pic post ive been giving the HB some extra attention spaying her down with Natria mite killer. Says its organic and can be used up till harvest. Well im not a fan of spraying buds but this plant is ate up with mites. The spray seems to be working though. I went in late lastnight to fing the mites trying to retreat. Long dangly hair like webs leading nowhere were hanging all over the plant. Lil bastards. Got em on the run hahah. peace

Small update for the hell of it. Ive been bored to tears waiting for winter to get the fuck outta here sos to keep from going stir crazy ive been out roaming gods creation looking for spots for a few guerilla patches. So far ive found a handful of ideal spots and im kinda anxious to get things going.
The rasta fairy just loves me hahaha. Shes been coming by with new beans and im having a hard time deciding what to sprout next. Ill bet without looking ive got atleast 40-50 dif varieties to choose from. Im goona have to really think this out.
Anyways i did some work in my veg cab getting my mothers all topped. Nothing to majorly exciting but i snapped a few pics.
These are all revegging a bit as you can see the weird leaves curling. Thats reveg for ya.
This is a TW mini clone and yes she looks like shit lol but she should come around.
A look into the flower cave.
Good all is well here.
A few shots of my keeper TW female "Bertha" Shes packing on more and more calyx's everytime i look at her
peace out 1BMM

Great looking girls!
I have a Blue Dream that looks like your TW, she is the smallest and hasnt healed yet, but I think she will.
What size garbage cans do you use? I like that as a grow pot, and might get some.

Sweet looking veg lineup. I never updated you on the guerilla grow I've been considering and that just occurred to me. I never did get you the pics I talked about either. Damn, I suck, lol.
Anyway, I ended up going for that hike I originally talked about and checked oout the area. It looks to be good as long as the fire dept doesn't cut it back before fire season. That would mean cutting down my plants if they do and I'm just not sure if they cut that area or not. The other places I was going to send you pics of are starting to seem more and more like it will fail since I've been walking that area lately just to get out and have something to do. I may just have to watch the areas I've found this year to see what happens and then try one next year.

Hey bassman. Those are walmart 3 gal trash cans. they are like a dollar a peice. They do work pretty good i guess. Id like to get some smart pots myself.
Hey Dez yeah id watch the areas you have picked out. Nothing sucks worse than growing out a beautiful plant only to have it ripped. Guerilla growing is a huge gamble so keep that in mind when your out there. You want the most remote place you can think of.
Jig my old pal glad you like what you see bro. Hopefully ill be swimming in Dog buds here real soon hahaha I cant wait to get a smoke session in of the Dog.

Well folks looks like the 2nd wave of spidermites is here. I looked in lastnight and 3 of the soil plants got webs all over 
I have seperated them from the others ladies and im considering taking them 3 early. The HB is looking done for the most part but id really like them to go another week or 2. We shall see.

I do believe they are working D its just now all the eggs laid from round one have hatched. These new ones are more aggressive it seems than the last. I have 3 strips in the cave and im gonna just leave them in there till well after harvest. The natria mite spray i picked up aint shit lol. The one headband that has mites the worst got a good showering and doesnt seem to phase the lil bastards. Ughhh lol. I just hope they dont spread out in the room to much more. I may add another pest strip or 2 so i can get the crop to finish. Keeping me fingers crossed.

I get a bomb from my local shop for agricultural use and it has killed them everytime. Instead of fogging out the whole room I was told to instead cut the tab on the can spray up underneath the leaves then over. I forgot the name of it. I still get mites every couple month or few months and at 10$ for the bomb I got no problem spraying them down every now and then.

fight the good fight brother! im guessing turning off your fans for hours is out of the question with that jungle. dont know anythin other to suggest man. hang on, your not running the ozone at the same time are you? that would drop all the particles coming off the strips to the floor.
