    Spider Mites

    Apasunee, you have another problem, looks like nute deficiency, possibly potassium def. There are several websites that help identify plant problems, this is a good one: http://www.ganjaguerrilla.net/

    Spider Mites

    Spider mites practically wiped out my first grow. I tried Zero Tolerance (didn't work and made the buds smell and taste terrible), preditor mites (didn't work), Hot Shots Pest Strips (These worked but are not organic, they emit a vapor which kills pretty much every bug in the area), I used a...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    I was looking through this thread and was reminded of what a failure my first grow was. I was also amazed how different the Permafrost looks then and now, same strain but totally different look. The first pic is from my very first grow at day 56 of flowering. This plant had a BAD spider mite...

    SAWEEEET! Thanks for the good news IGLAW, you made my day. Let me know how the Hydrogen peroxide remedy works. I've read several threads that swear by it. I've also read that it may cause your buds to turn brown which is why I didn't try it. I'm going for couchlock on this grow, so far...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    My PF plant does have leaves sticking out of the buds that have literally shriveled up and died. I tried to take some close up shots of the bud's vagina, wait...I meant the crotch of the buds. Does this look like the makings of bud rot to you? The plants still have another 2-3 weeks so I...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    It's been a while since I posted an update so I thought I would share my latest progress/problems with you. It appears that one side of my cabinet is prone to cause powdery mildew. I had my PF on the far left side, it got mildew, so I treated it and moved it to the right side, directly in front...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    So I pulled all of the plants out to water Gen 1 and had them all back in the cabinet before I realized that today was RIU update day. Sorry but I was too lazy to pull them out again. Gen 1 got their first dose of FF and Cal/Mag. I'm hoping that they respond as well as Gen 3 did. Gen 3 was...

    Nutes for dummies....lol

    I use Fox Farms but this can be picked up at almost any garden center and is recommended by Ganja Guerrilla.

    Nutes for dummies....lol

    I agree with the other guys, if you have any other options use those. Run from MG as fast as you can. I used it on my first grow and had serious PH problems. But since your plants are already in MG soil you'll have to work with what you've got. How long have your plants been in the MG soil...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    That makes sense. As far as watering twice a week, I was trying to find a way to flush between feedings but still feed every week, but I see what you're saying. If I stick to FF's "Scientifically Designed":roll: feeding schedule then I shouldn't have MUCH excess in the soil if any. I didn't...

    Dying Grow Room HELP!

    It's hard to tell from the pic, is the problem affecting only the top, or is the middle and/or bottom also affected? That would help narrow down if the intensity of the light is the problem.

    hot shot no pest strips

    Personally, I wouldn't risk it. I hold my breath when I remove them from the vapor filled cabinet. I don't use them in my flower area JUST IN CASE the poisonous vapor got into the buds, again, for me its not worth the risk of smoking or ingesting poison. I use Azamax on my flowering plants...

    Dying Grow Room HELP!

    I don't have any experience with paint fumes in my grow room but it does look similar except the leaves are curling up, looks like a Phosphorus Def possibly. Here's a pic of a plant with phos def.

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    Damn, I thought that I was onto something. Previously you said it would be best to use nutes every other watering which for me would be everyother week if I only water once a week. I want to use the nutes at every watering but I am terrified that I'll get PH problems again. I'm...

    2 of my leaves have white tips .1cm or so

    Quote: can i move my lights closer can anybody see them enough to tell? Until you turn on the lights in the middle I would resituate the pots so the plant has both of the "ON" lights directly above it. I keep mine within 2-3 inches of the bulb( I use a 125watt CFL).

    2 of my leaves have white tips .1cm or so

    Fe (iron) not Zn (Zinc), just to make sure we're on the same pg. Stem Strengthener: Without knowing the product I can't determine if there are trace minerals Super Thrive- The packaging does not claim to have any N-P-K (macro-nutrient fertilizer) or trace minerals. It contains ".09%...

    2 of my leaves have white tips .1cm or so

    If it were heat burn it would affect the part of the plant closest to the light, but the foil theory could hold true. The damaged leaves are toward the bottom of the plant. IMO it looks like a Mag or Iron def. Pick up some Cal/Mag, it'll fix them up. These are great Sources for plant...

    hot shot no pest strips

    They work great. I keep mine in a ziplock bag for freshness and pull it out when needed. When I use mine I turn off ALL fans (intake & exhaust) and leave it in the cabinet for the entire dark period, then stick it back in the ziplock to use for another day. If using to kill spider mites it...
