lookin nice Tob, id say if u keep the infested plant away from the others specialy the younguns u could let it finish. Are you treating the spooder mites with anything?

I was using Neem Oil, but it's to far along to use on that plant. I'm harvesting it at 7am on Monday, anyway. I put a no pest strip in my veg space for a while. It's not organic, but the chemical breaks down really fast, and it kills the shit out of the mites w/o any direct application. It'll go in the flowering room for a minute as soon as I get the three big girls out of there.

i must get some neem oil, im going over to the local hydro shop 45 mins away this week to change a bulb that dunt work lol ill get some then

The thing about it is that it won't permanently kill an infestation. I hate those little fuckers.

the only real way to clear it is to stop and clean everything wait a week for larva to hatch an stuff dissinfect everything twice and start over. My m8 has just done this cuz of mites and a knee jerk reaction he killed 8 mature girls 3 weeks into flower, bit extream if u ask me. Hes back on track thanks to 9 clones from me lol. Id rather find something who eats spider mites rather than wipe my slate clean i think lol. It could set u back months.

Yeah... I can't start over with different plants. I think things will be fine.

no niether can i lol. Ive got too many plants coming up through the ranks so to speak. Itll be fine if u can keep on top of it. puff puff pass>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Finally, I've gotten around to taking some pictures again. One plant is dried and curing now. It seemed pretty dry in two days, so I went on and cut it into jarable pieces and jared it. I think that I should have gone for thee or four days. I harvested the other two tonight. I think that I'm going to let the less dense one dry for three days and the denser one for four or five. I haven't really smoked any to speak of yet because it's not really ready to smoke. I guess I'll have a smoke report in a few weeks.

The new crop is 16 days into flowering. These girls exploded through the stretch period as compared to last time, and they're a lot more obviously flowering than they were at day 16 the first time through. They do have a little heat stress though. I'm getting a 750cfm fan soon though. That'll take care of any heat issue that I might have.

Here's a little bud porn.

This is what the room is looking like. I think I got a little over 2.5 oz from the first plant that I harvested, K1. The 6 in there now are clones of her, so I'm hoping for at least 15 oz on this second crop. This is day 16 of flowering. They're in 15" nursery pots. The canopy is at about 3' and really even. I'm experimenting with low stress training for the first time. I have to say that I'm finding it extremely useful.

The 7 Querkle seedlings are doing well. I have three more rooted clones planted, and the 20 clones that I took on the 15th are all still looking healthy. Things seem to be plugging along as scheduled.

Last, but not least, here are some pics of my last batch of Gumby hash.

Gumby hash? is that like bubble hash? i need to get some coffee filters or something to have a go. I saw this thread and fanceid a crack at it what do u think is there an easier or better way? Blender Hash - Cannabis Culture Forums

Yeah. It's pretty much like that except that you don't use any filters for gumby hash. You wait four hours for all the trichs to settle out then siphon all the water off and then let the remainder evaporate. I've been pleased with it's yeilds. I think that I would use more ice than the guy with the blender method used.

Well, it's official. This weed is dank. The pheno that I like best has a sweet citrus smell. The high is really up and everyone that's smokes it says that it's really clear headed. It's really speedy and trippy. It wakes me up. After maybe 6 vapor bowls, I was definitely seeing a tracer here or there, and colors were enriched.

ur talkin bout the hash not teh bud, rite?

cuz the bud still need 2 cure more i wuld think
i def want 2 here how it is when its cured

I mean... I know a guy that knows a guy that owns a dispensary, so I can get med pot even here in the south east. This bud already looks, smells, tastes, gets me as high as most any pot that I ever smoke. I was describing the bud. It's pretty much like harvest, hang dry for four days, jar for five days, and it's good to do. It got me super blazed after being in the jar for like a day. Next crop, I'll save some testers and see what the difference is when I jar it and wait different numbers of weeks before smoking that jar to see what the deal really is as a cure. It's already gone mostly. I have like 4 grams left or something. Power bill, nutrients and supplies are expensive when you're a college student without a job. I've tried before, and I just can't hold down a job, full time class and a grow. One had to go. Two were really important to me, so it was a pretty obvious choice.

I'll start by saying that the tap water here is pH7.1 and less than 100ppm. For a week or so, I've been noticing some old growth dying on my mothers and these two plants that I'm vegging longer to see how that afects yeild per plant. The leaves had signs of random deficiencies, and I didn't know what exactly was going on. I ran some straight tap water through the medium and collected the run off. This strain seems to want around 550-570ppm in veg. The ppm of the runoff was 1400, and the pH was 4.5. That's not what you want, right. I flushed them with tap water until the ph of the runoff was 6.0 and then fed them until the ppm of the runoff was 560. They look happy as shit today.

My flowering plants have a bad leaf here of there, and I see some very slight nute burn on some leaves. I fed/watered, I usually wait two days between waterings. The coco is still mostly moist throughout, but the top 1/2"-1" is usually dry at this point. I think that I'm going to water one more time, wait for watering day and see what's up with the runoff from those ladies.

Also, pictures of what's going on now.

This is the 23rd day of flowering, so we can compare to the posts from the 6th and 8th of July to see how things in my set up were looking around the same time last cycle through.

good catch dude

u def had some salt buildup in ur medium
dat flush wuz just what teh doctor ordered im sure

looks awesome man

Yeah.... they're pretty happy about the flush.

I just put three more plants in to flower today. I took 28 clones today. I also just ordered some stuff to upgrade my space. I'll put up pics of that and tell all about what I got when it comes in. I'm most excited about fertilizer, coco and perlite that are coming with my upgrade stuff. I'm about out of all three.

sounds pretty cool man

lookin forward 2 those pics
what ferts r u gettin?
