Bro its not a horse thats just had a race, it doesnt need a spraydown.Im a bit worried about the white spots on leaves and now your seeing tiny bugs-spidermites,maybe.
get a 1000w hps for next grow and keep the led for vegging, so this light/energy hungry strain can get to its potential. Still your doing well.
well, i have really cut back on spraydowns but i just do 'em occasionally because i think it helps the g13 stay closer to room temperature. did one today and the water is long gone already. evaporated due to heat. temperatures in here still reach into the 90s in the daytime. i'm in the southeast! hehe
mites: none whatsoever! i'm lucky that there has been no breakout. i think what i saw was an ant. definitely bigger than mites, black body not white, crawling on dirt not on plant itself. there are definitely a few ants in this building. i saw another one today, all by its lonesome. sprayed it dead with Don't Bug Me.
white spots: the damage was definitely on the top side of the leaves. insect damage is usually on the bottom from what i hear. when i say "white" spots, i really don't know if it's white or a wilted brown color that plants turn into sometimes, because i almost never look at my plant under natural light or white indoor lighting. i always look at it under the UFO red/pink/purple light, so any trouble spot stripped of chlorophyll reflects all light, and so it looks white. the spots seem directly related to too much nutrition and when i scale back the parts-per-million, no more white spots.
ok, a couple days ago, flowerday 47, did another watering of 48oz/625ppm/100ppmmolasses/6.56pH. that was the last of that mix. may have done a spraydown but i can't remember.
today, flowerday 49, mixed up a new gallon of 650ppm/125ppmmolasses/6.8pH. it's gotten to the point where i don't fully trust my pH meter because the electrode is acting funny, but 6.83 is what it said. i'll check it again before next watering and adjust down to 6.5 if needed. anyway i fed the plant 64oz of that new mix.
the thing that sort of baffles me at this point is that all pistils are still completely 100% white. i figured that by now there would be hints of a rusty red on the tips, but there is none. none at all. according to the seedbank, i have 14 days to go until harvest, and still white pistils. in reality i think it will take a few days longer, as i try to do a multi-stage harvest, just like Dr.G did... top buds first, clear some foliage, and let the lower buds continue on for a while.
i really want to do another preventative spraydown with neem oil (diluted in water) which is a really good way to prevent mold, but i'm kinda reluctant, because: i've done that twice before, and it seems like plant growth stopped or slowed down for 2 or 3 days after each time. i never did figure out if that was from the neem oil, or a coincidence, or from something else...
overall height maybe 43 1/2" now. it's creeping upwards at a really slow pace but for the most part it has maxed out i think. everything looking fine, by my standards. i should take some pics soon... maybe next time i have the grow room spread open for watering, 2 days from now.
if there *is* some kind of salt excess, i sure as heck have not seen any side effects from it. the only side effect i have seen lately is my own fault, when i jumped from 550ppm straight to 700ppm but now i'm back at 625 and things look good so i'll take the low road... if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
