Ok, here's more pics, I took these with my new phone... pics look much better...

Plants are a bit light, so I'm having him add an extra tbsp of nutes to a 10 gallon mix he already has made...

the last picture I took after we sprayed some down with the 50/50 milk/water mix... looks like there was a little powerdery mildew, but definately due to high humidity... I told him it was time to run his exaust fan all the time now, but he wasn't... so lots of moisture everywhere... I pointed it out to him, and so he should be able to fix it....

man... seems like alot of work even though I'm not there...LOL

They're looking real nice now. Are you switching to flowering or have you yet?

those pics were at the end of week 1 of flowering...

Here's some new pics mid week of week 2 of flowering...

also, here's some clones...

From the pics... it Looks like he still hasn't taken care of the humidity issue... and the clones look like they are underfed... I'll prob go over there soon, but I'm getting annoyed that he won't listen... this does look like he's gonna end up with some major problems down the road if he wont fix the stuff he needs to... guess he just doesn't realize how bad it can get and how fast it can get out of control...

my buddy just installed the vent and fan into the clone area today... 3 weeks after telling him he needed it... hopefully that should fix it all... I can't have him killing off all his mother plants...LOL

So I get some F-d up news...

The strain that one of my buddys (buddy A) had... was NOT my other buddy's (buddy B) Diesel... he (buddy A) thought he got my other buddy's (buddy B) cut, but instead he had his "white fire og"... and I wasted a whole trip bringing that strain down to Socal from NorCal, some mixup...

Both of them have finished that strain (white Fire Og), and it's ok... very good actually, but has a funny look to it... more sativa'ish... very potent, but weak yielder... prob only get 1lb out of the whole light... That Won't make me happy... I was hopeing to get 1.5-2lbs out of the 1000w light... easy enough to do when you only have 1 light... with a decent strain...

Oh well... We'll see how he does and get him some of the Diesel Next time around...

Ok guys, been a bit busy... here's the latest...

End of week 3, pistols are bairly showing, but the good news is that these pics were taken friday, and by monday the pistols are starting to come in quickly...

basically, the flowering part of the setup looks fine... no real problems... they're starting to get a bit darker since I showed him that he was underfeeding them (ppm's low), and that 2tbsp in 5gallons really does make 1000ppm (plus 200ppm tap), he was around 800ppm total.. and I made him push it to about 1300ppm just to feed them more since they were a little light....

The clone/mother area still suffering from high humidity... he never put rocks or anything down in the trays or sucked the excess water out, and all plants were sitting in water... I put them on top of buckets to get the point across to him... 2 healthy clones wilted and died this week due to sitting in water...

he also had some gnats in his clone area... they weren't bothering the other flower area... I'm guessing they were attracted to the moisture...

Folier with azamax and I had him do a soil drench with it too... I had him spray everything including the walls... I didn't see any more gnatts... just to be safe, I had him put the plants in veg in bigger pots and put perlite on top...

I'll post another pic of that...

I had him clear the bottom 6-8 inches of foliage off all the flowering plants to clean it up... but I don't have any new pictures of that...

Veg area still haveing issues with gnats and humidity... I tell him to get the "Yellow sicky traps" and feed azamax on the veg area... but instead he gets White Sticky traps (Does it make a difference?) and no azamax... plants hurting of course...

by the way... I forgot to mention... around week 6 he finally got the "yellow sticky traps" (big yellow square sheets) and put them up... then after a couple days replaced them and hasn't seen a gnat since...

Keep up the work. Look at the second post of this thread. I warned you about gnats months ago :)
Click to expand...
Yes, you did warn me... however, these gnats were not in the soil... they didn't show up untill over 2 months in... my buddy had major issues with high humidity and has a nice hole in the back of his shed where they came in from.. the shed is also right next to a wall that has his neighbors orange trees hanging over it... and that has gnats around it...

the good news is the gnats are gone though... and I had him plug the 4" hole in the back of the shed... so hopefully he wont have any issues again later...

oh.. I also forgot to tell you those bags sat 1 full month in a tote before he even used it...

"Eggs hatch in 4 to 6 days; larvae feed for 12 to 14 days" - so there is zero possibilty that the gnats came from the soil...
