hey bud :D

im not sure about your carbo molasses, but what i did was just buy regular molasses from the grocery store and i added 2 tablespoons per gallon of water. i was doing this every watering because you dont have to worry about toxic salt buildup with the stuff i was using.

hope this helped, good luck and i cant wait to see your bud porn on the day of harvest.
:peace:

Hey nice grow
I saw this in another thread about Molassas and thought it may be worth bringing here in case you missed it.
Search is your friend :mrgreen:
Anyway it is a long read but pretty funny as well as way informative.
3LB’s Molasses Manual - a growers guide to soil sweeteners
Here is a short passage from the manual:
3LB said:
If you are of the theory that your local hydro shop owner isn’t rich enough yet, then please by all means go and purchase an expensive carbo load product, but don’t complain that the three_little_birds didn’t warn you that it’s likely little more than Blackstrap Molasses. Hey, spending it there keeps the money recirculating in the economy and is preferable to burying it in a hole in the backyard. However, if you are a grower who wishes to be a little more frugal, there are certainly cheaper alternatives.

I got so much info from this complete article, I printed it out and its now included in my "binder of valuable information" I keep in my grow room.
I would love to find a link to the "Guano Manual" they wrote for my next soil grow.
Good luck with your finish
And from what I read yeah chuck some molasses in for the last few weeks.
Its edible by humans and does the plant a bunch of good during flowering!
You may even want to drink some yourself just like the granny in the above referenced article!
Just watch for LEO lmao haha
:peace:
There is also a lot more from the 3LB found here

@We TaRdED and @Alto...

Thank you very much for the info...

I guess there's a problem with my plant. The bud formation is still slow for near 10 week flowering plant. Maybe this has something to do with what these leaves have been showing? Any idea?

im not the greatest at troubleshooting plant problems.
but im sure that they are fine, just keep giving them str8 water and molasses. the leafs will yellow, die, and fall off- this is a good thing, really.

no worries from this point on, you dont even have to worry about the ph when your not giving them nutes for the last 2 weeks.

My guess is that there's heat stress on the plants because of too close hps. Last week I had moved down the lamp even closer to the plants and those brown spots increased after that (if I remember correctly)... As soon as I figured this out I lifted up the lamp a few inches from the plants. My next watering schedule is on Friday, if those leaves don't get well (The upper leaves look too dry and twisted) by Friday I'll flash with 5 or 10 liters of PH safe water.

ehhhhh... sometimes lol

depends on the genetics my friend:mrgreen:

i was growing some femm seeds(they were make by accident from my first grow... i didnt have the internet at the time and focked them up bad from stressing them. they turned into hermies and seeded their buds) that all turned into hermies in the 4 week and pulled them out after 6 weeks of flower :(

but your plant looks like it should be fine....

next grow you should try some know genetics....... im growing ice and WW.... mmmmhhh they are really nice

I have spider mites...:confused:

I've been searching for solutions on internet, even thinking about chopping the plant. I'm really confused right now...

They are not many as far as I can see but I'm not sure about how I can deal with the problem here...

its tough being so close to harvest...... you dont want to use anything that will will taint your herb with chemicals.

try and kill them with a damp sponge by wiping them with the damp sponge on both sides of the leaf- the reside mainly on the undersides!!!!!!

also try increase air movement over the plant. the mites hate a windy environment because it impedes their movement and might knock them off the leafs...

keep searching, maybe you will find something that will work for you.. i have never had mites but the above is info that i have read about.

good luck:peace:

I applied the sponge to both sides of the leaves but it seemed as if it'd take forever. As I understood spider mites don't like swimming so I sprayed a good amount of water to every part of the plant and put them under lights again. I'll check them tomorrow. Any more advise?

I even thought about immediate harvest for a minute though...

take them out of direct light asap because they water drops might magnify the light and cause more burning spots


do this asap.... place them in indirect light with a fan blowing on them untill your plant is dry

yes the mites dont like to swim, and they dont like humid environments, so if you can keep the humidity up to around 80-100% for a couple days that might also deter them!!! or you could just keep spraying/misting a few times a day but remember to let them dry b4 direct light

the only thing you have to watch out for this late in the game is bud mold.... but i dont think a couple days of high humidity and misting should initiate this- just keep an eye and nose out JIC

Before putting them under the light, I wiped the upper part of the leaves with tissue papers to prevent burning due to hot spots...

Some people use soapy water while spraying, any idea about that? If only I could find some ladybugs. But I don't think they sell these little creatures around here. Maybe I'll try to find some myself in the garden tomorrow... :mrgreen:

Get a timer, best money spent of weed, period. it isnt worth taking risks of fire, light fuck ups anh what not, and i dont think there is any fire danger with just one 70w hps light... :)

hopefully the mites wont latch onto you like ticks and replenish the killed ones.... haha

if you find lady bugs make sure you change your clothes and shoes b4 bringing the ladies in:mrgreen:

sorry, you might all ready know that, just like you knew to wipe of the extra water from the plant after spraying...

just trying to look out for you JIC....:mrgreen:

Hiya Herbie2K
I did a short search for ya on Google,
Search is your friend :mrgreen:
and here is what I came up with.
LadyBugs
It may not be within your means but this will take care of the problem
as well as once you release them to the neighborhood keep the chance of re-infestation down quite a bit.
I would imagine being they are alive shipping times would be rather short too.
Just set em free outdoors at night and catch a couple for in your grow room.
I say at night being you don't want the neighbors complaining or pick up a weird nickname should anyone see you do it. lol.
Hope that helps some, and good luck with your harvest.
I would be careful about too much humidity in my grow room though during budding.
