Looking good SlimTim. I have a Cotton Candy from a promo with The Attitude. Got some TGA, HSH, and SB on the way. Don't know when i'll be growing any of them though. Right now i got Female Seeds WWxBB in 2 weeks of flower taking over my entire 2x2 grow tent. Got a Blue OG and White Critical 12 days from breaking surface. And also got a Sleeskunk (i think) 38 days from seed that i'm sexing right now. Should know within another day or 2. If it's a female i'm throwing in back in veg for a while. I'll upload pictures later.

Update on my HSH, SB, CC. Just noticed today that my seedlings are starting to form white spots on the leaves (Fuck my life). I have deduced that my older plants I have, have the same white spots but far more intense. I have deduced that the white spots are from mites. I can see small moving black dots on the underside of the leaves and small webbing under the leaves of some plants. I am going to douse them with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap for the next few days to stop the reproduction of the mites and hopefully kill mite/eggs in the soil.
One of my my buddys said that back in the day in Colorado, he figured out that FoxFarm has all kinds of eggs in the soil for different pests therefor should be baked (sterilized) before use. All of my plants are in FoxFarm right now. Mites have definitely been a problem for my grows in the past. And very difficult if not impossible to get rid of mites. So now I'm wondering if there is any validity to these claims. Does anyone have any insight into this?
I plan on switching growing mediums next transplantation and from there on just to be sure.

One of my WWxBB managed to top itself. It's growing slower than my other but still looks great.
I've also just started a few others to play with.
I went ahead and placed a order for tutankhamon and caramel kush included freebie of bubblegum and 5 other unknown fems. Hoping to use tank to breed when and if they show up.

My opinion on the mites or eggs in the soil......If your waking into your favorite neighborhood Hydro store or hardware store to buy soil it doesn't matter what kind of soil you get. All of the soil is piled up next to each other in the same room which means if there are eggs or mites in one kind they will be in every kind.
Any kind of soil no matter what it is or where it came from should be sterilized properly if you want added safety from bugs or diseases.
Good luck with your fight against the little fu#!s. I use pepper spray a couple times per week just for protection and have not seen any mites in the time I've been using it.

Thanks for the reply SlimTim. I guess if you go by that logic youre right. Im going to try to sterilize my soils from now on. And as for the pepper spray, just normal pepper spray? or a pyperidine oil?

I make the spray with habanero peppers and water. Then Just use a spray bottle and a respirator. Make sure not to breathe it in when spraying. I wear rubber gloves also, turn my fans all off. And take shower after I'm done. Might sound like allot of work but it's not bad for organic and inexpensive. There is a thread on here with a recipe.

Never heard of a plant topping it self. Interesting. Is it the plant on the left? I usually FIM all my plants as i did with the WWxBB and Sleeskunk (i think). The WWxBB really bushed out when i snipped her. Growth never slowed though. With the Sleeskunk growth slowed after i snipped her but i got 4 new shoots. After she is sexed i'm re-vegging her for about another 2-3 weeks. Might go longer depending on how big she gets. Don't want her too big. I originally had her along with HSO Green Crack but one day i was holding the pot and a bee flew around me and i swiped at it and swiped the lil seedling right out of the pot. Tried to put her back in the soil but she died. Never had them labeled so idk which is which. I assumed the one that i have now is Sleeskunk due to her funky smell. Never heard of tutankhamon. Gotta look it up. These were taken after 9 from 12/12.

I've been
I've been dealing with the same problem. My WWxBB was in between my tent and being outside (nothing beats the sun). But it got caked with pollen and i didn't spray it down with soap and water like i should have so when i finally brough it back in for flower i noticed white spots all over the top of my leave and some lil black dots on the underside. Used my 60x scope and noticed they were bugs. I'm assuming mites like you said. Not many of them but they're there nonetheless. So i put some Dr Bonner's peppermint soap in a bottle with water and been spraying them. Not rid of em all but now i only see a few here or there. Gonna keep spraying a few more days before my buds start to really swell. Only been 2 weeks from 12/12 flip so i'm good for now. Plant still thriving and healthy though. Just a few pest. Good luck gettin rid of those lil bastards.

Yes its the one on the left. The main stalk he up nice but had no top, it's the only plant I've had do that but have read a couple others that is happened to also.
The tutankhamon is suppose to be a strong sativa, I came across it by accident but gotta try it. I like variety plus it sounded like a good one for my first attempt at breeding.

Sounds like a good idea. I will definitely give it a try once I have the pests under control. And I understand the respirator and all the precautions, I cook with habaneros all the time and yes they are a B**** when you get the juice in your eyes or breathe in a concentrated vapor. Thanks for the idea!

Sounds like the Dr. Bronners is doing the trick for you. Just need to keep on top of those little buggers. Fingers crossed, I dont want them to kill my babies

Yeah it's working somewhat but i got some cayenne pepper powder that's 90,000 heat units i'm mixing in with the soap and hopefully this mix gets the job done for good. These lil bastards are going down!

I don't know the sex of mine yet but I got 2 that are tall and lanky and one that looks more like something totally different. All started at the same time.

Yep we DEFINITELY have the same pheno's , Itrashed one that was a tad bushier looking like your third pic and the lanky one has started to fill in. Checkout the pics, the hazes are in pots not buckets. One on the floor still making it and the one on the table was trashed. Ive been told that plants won't show this early but clearly I saw balls and looked close and saw that there wasn't leaves r any growth trying to come out the top. I wasn't chancing it fareal!! Maybe shoulda took a better pic. I Been n veg for 4.5 weeks, only counting 3 cause 1st week was really hard for them. keep me posted tho, goodluck
