Bagseed - Midgrade - 1st real attempt - March 22

[Auzzie07]

Oh damn, son. Spider mites must be a bitch. Good luck killing them all off. Those fuckers are some bastards. I mean, you can't blame them for having a good taste in a plant to fiend off of, right?

I'll be checking in to see how it goes.

[GrnMan]

Yea...they are a bitch auzzie..thanks for the support.

@ THC

Well lets hope they don't stay too long. I put them outside this morning and they don't look to be in full force like they were yesterday. I'm going to continue spraying them with the solution and with water.

BTW..

I got that damn digital timer figured out! It was more complicated then my other one...that shit was hard to program when you're drunk and stoned....I usually don't read directions when it comes to things like that...I just mash buttons..

Lol, I tried the mashing method with my timers and I ended up having to read the directions too.

With those mites, I think they trick you. You think you killed them all and then 3 days later or whatever it is, all the eggs hatch and you are back to square one.

What's up bro....

Yea, I know what you mean. This is why I stuck them outside, cuz they love the weather out there and they start becoming active once they are out there. I saw a few running around, but nothing like it was yesterday. I sprayed all around the soil, so hopefully if anything hatches that will prevent them from doing too much damage.

I'm going to go ahead and put that plant in 12/12 starting tomorrow, regardless if they are there or not. This will be an experiment...

LOL @ the mashing buttons... yea man, that shit was asking me stuff like astro days and when I saw that I was completely baffled...

Houston Astros maybe? Nahh...can't be - LOL!

My new cap that arrived in the mail...

 

[GrnMan]

Now I got a big ass beetle looking thing in the pot. What could this be? Something that will eat the spider mites? I'll try and find a picture.

It doesn't look like any of the pests I've seen from searching on my spider mite problem.

It looks like a Vine Weevil, but doesn't have those yellow spots on it's back.

Man this is wild, I have no idea how these things have gotten into my grow room. When I go in there, I'm not wearing shoes or dirty clothes. I don't even have a backyard, so It's not like I'm bringing them in...how the hell do these things find my plants...It's like they got a homing device.

 

[GrnMan]

Well it looks like that stuff did the trick. I just came from outside and didn't see any movement on the plant. I sat out there for about 5 minutes and watched the plant closely. Those fuckers where everywhere yesterday around this time. I will continue to watch the plant over the next couple of days.

I still don't think I'm going to put it back in the mix with the others though.

**update**

The few that are still on the plant are completely brown now. I would suspect this means that those are dead. Still haven't seen any movement.

/3-in-1 FTW!

good job mate

 

[Auzzie07]

So how big is the infected, or used-to-be infected, plant?

 

[GrnMan]

So how big is the infected, or used-to-be infected, plant?

Roughly 7" tall. This should be interesting if it turns out to be a female. I'm interested to see how well it grows being outside.

 

[B. THC R+D]

Good Job, Bro. Keep A Visual. And Wait For There, Eggs. I Believe We Talked Sooner In The Thread About The Rise In Temp. Will Hatch The Eggs And Then Kill Them 2, The Bells Tolled, Grnman, 1 Little Shts 0

 

[GrnMan]

What's up man!? Ya I think I might have this under control.

Something else came up today...BEEN PRETTY STRESSFUL..

I had to move the grow to another part of my apt. This means that I had to completely sterilize the new area. THIS TOOK FOREVER.. The new area is a lot bigger and stays a bit cooler.


Day 43

Stats Today:

Temp @ 78 *F
RH @ 52 Percent

Low @ 73 *F / RH 43 Percent
High @ 82 *F / RH 58 Percent

Light Cycle @ 18/6

Plant 2 is 12 inches tall now. Plant 1 is roughly 11.5 inches..pushing 12. I'm thinking Plant 2 is showing signs of stunted growth. The top new leaves are looking sad and wrinkly.

 

[Auzzie07]

I'm interested to see how big the 7 inch, previously infected, turned to outdoors, plant turns out. Maybe some pictures in the near future?

Sorry to hear about the leaves. It is ridiculous that we have to treat our grow like Anne Frank and hide them by moving from room to room just so the Nazis don't find them.

Post a pic of the stunted leaves, I'll dig deep in the King Bullshit Bag and get you some advice, lol.

 

[GrnMan]

@ auzzie

Yea bro, I'll get pics of Plant 4 as soon as I get that camera. I really hoping to pick up a digital slr with my stimulus check.

@ picasso

Plant 2 is looking better today. I think it might have been from the stress they went through from not getting enough water the other day. It still doesn't look nearly as good as the others though. Thanks for helping me out..I'll try and get pics today.

LOL @ Anne Frank!

I'm also going to go to HD today and maybe pick up one of those cheap 400 watt HPS bulbs.

 

[GrnMan]

When I get ready to flower, what would you guys say would be a good way to transition them into the new light cycle? When my lights go off at 12 am, should turn them back on at 6 am and let them run until 6 pm? Seem like I've seen some people on here that give them 24 hours of darkness before switching? Maybe not, I need to go read more about this.

Outside, the summer days would grow shorter as it gets time for them to flower, so I thought it might be good to slowly bring them to this cycle? Am I thinking way too much about this?

 

[Picasso345]

My understanding is that when the plant sees 12 hours of continuous dark, it starts producing a hormone to begin flowering. So all the time spend easing her down really doesn't matter. It is only when it hits 12 hours that flowering starts so bring it right down from 18/6 and let the party start.

As far as when to start the new lighting, when they go out at midnight, I would give them 12 hours of dark and then after you get in the 12 hours, I would light them as soon at they reach the time you want to run the cycle. What times do you want to have them lit on the new schedule? I go with my least likely time for visitors - 10 p.m. -10 a.m.

 

[GrnMan]

I'd rather have the lights come on at 6 am and go off at 6 pm. My new room doesn't have windows so I guess I could go with your schedule.

I work from 9 am to 5 pm, so the 6-6 schedule would be ok. So lets say I want to start flowering tomorrow, should I cut the lights off at 6 pm today and have them come on at 6 am tomorrow?

I don't know the proper answer. I think there a rule, I just don't know it. What you propose seems perfect to me.

 

[GrnMan]

Sounds good to me as well. I might just do it if I go and pick up that bulb today.

I'm still a bit hesitant on spending 100 dollars on a bulb that has both color spectrums, what are your thoughts on this?

So the HD bulb might just have to be good enough.
