Pineapple Chunk by Barneys

If it was spidermites they would multiply & you would see them I grew p\c when it first came out one of the tallest plants ever , the smoke was good though

Yeah it is good smoke. Grown it before. Tho mine was a 9 to 10 week grow.
Are you checking the undersides of the leaves or the top? With light webbing that sounds exactly right. Maybe grab us a pic of the undersides?

Anyways they can come in on your clothes sometimes or from animals.
The only time I've ever been infected with them is from when I bought a palm tree from walmart. They were on that then must have got on my clothes and then got on my plants. I would suggest after this grow you clean the heck out of your grow tent and get new soil and pot.

Yeah I understand. The first time I grew it...it was amazing. Grew 10 plants and all were big fat leaves dripping with resin. After that I got some more and it wasnt the same. Very sativa dom ... And not nearly as frosty. I finally stopped growing it because it was not like what I grew at first.

I had that problem with superlemon haze made the mistake of letting my favorite cut get away thinking I would merely buy another pack later ...well I was wrong lol

Sprayed her with captain jacks hopefully it will be safe to ingest when she is done. i don't think it will be but figure i take better care of her. i think i see the bugs on the top of the leaves but they are tiny. sprayed the underside as well and a lot. room smells chemically venting it out.

pic of under my canopy you can see all the dead leaves and popcorn buds. could of used more lighting but i am working with what i can cost and equipment wise plus i don't smoke often anymore like i used to so it's just for fun/learning. she is still looking nice regardless and hopefully i can control the bugs.

still lots of white pistils and i think she still needs to bulk up much more as well. my flower grow as you can see a shit load of the seeds sprouted some are dying since i fucked them up via watering and they fell over but i figure natural selection if they cannot handle that they don't deserve to make the cut. i am off tomorrow so i might spend some time cleaning up my canopy removing all that dead shit.

watered her with tap water only. will be pumping her with overdrive soon i think and maybe start leeching her in another week depending how the pistils start looking and if more white ones start popping out.

i don't plan to save the popcorn buds. i used to just because.. but they are a bitch to trim up and i rather deal with the bigger nugs. i plan to wet trim this grow though. i've already dry trimmed before but it's very tedious i don't got that time plus i want to see how they compare smoke wise and appearance wise in the future.

It’s a race to the finish! At the end you can wash gently with water and H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) then dry. Should be ok! Ultimately you’re learning how to deal with a wide swath of problems so if your goal was to learn make sure you’re paying attention, do you have your notebook?

A jewelers loupe helps in these situations , helps in spotting mites , eggs as well as identify leaf damage

September 2

fed 1 gal water 1 gal full nutes - leaked about 2-4liters though after giving the nutes on the 2nd watering.

plant is starting to look better imo looks a lot better then yesterday imo damage wise. i didn't clean up the canopy due to leak and being busy. either way it will just fall off anyways so not worried about the dead leaves.

need to start checking trichomes under the scope just for fun i know she is not done yet though. idk if i care for a scrog anymore i think what i did wrong possibly.. was that i should have let it veg past the net and get taller but because i didn't a bunch of the buds below the netting is popcorn due to lack of lighting. i haven't really had this issue if i just LST them i get popcorn for sure but it isn't this much. no biggy though i plan to just make butter with all of this now that i got a car i can go to the store and buy butter in bulk and just make my own.

we have a bunch of dessert mixes that call for butter here so imma just substitute that and take at night. got brownies, butter mochi, going to try make cornbread out of it as well.

uploaded a dark pic just too see how white they are. very interesting to see the coloration on the leaves despite bug damage it looks rather nice. would be extremely surprised if it wasn't due to bug damage tbh but that is just wishful thinking. pretty sure i need much colder weather to get the leaves to change into that nice purple hue even if i was growing a strain that does that. i actually did with my blue widows i believe but too hot for that. i need to regrow that strain eventually my first grow buds turned out shitty

i have a microscope just really busy with gaming atm i got like 0 downtime to really do shit besides water and feed my plants. work, feed dogs, walk dogs, feed cats, wash dishes from dogs, feed my fish, laundry, just basic chores then my plants and then straight to gaming and bed and rinse and repeat. my time zone is behind on all my friends who play so i got to try and get on asap to spend time with them as by the time i get home it's already like 8-9pm there time. they know i grow though same ones who got me into growing but they quit growing after their first grow i guess they had major issues they didn't want to fix like lighting issues so they just quit.

i keep a mental note outside of my journals. usually after so many times of dealing with the same issues it just comes natural. i used to keep a journal but it got too tedious

September 3

fed 1gal with all nutes full dosage; started feeding overdrive going to experiment with overdrive from an earlier start see how she do as well as starting to experiment with popping more P/K then the actual full dosage recommended. so say it called for 2ml per liter of overdrive which is 0-0-5 i believe i add it an extra 2ml per gallon. trying to get them much frostier then they are now in this heat/humidity if possible just basically fucking around experimenting i don't expect it to work.

she did leak a little as i gave her 2gals yesterday so she was fairly moist so tomorrow i will not be watering at all.

i also removed all the dead leaves or most of it to kind of help with the RH issue. the ones that changed colors due to bug issues or w.e. i left on going to try and save them and possibly use them to help fed the plant if she fiending for more nutes

check out that 1 bract i think it's called saw it and i was just like jfc.. the fuck is that! looking like cthulu with a shit load of pistils popping out of it. thats what i like to call a beat up pussy XD

flower grow still going i just watered it but waiting for the plants to get more bigger since they are going outside into the ground. i watered them today as well just doing my little natural thining w.e. falls over from just watering is a goner.

will try to upload more night pics but due to size of the files it is hard think this site only takes 10mb files they usually come out much larger like 11-13mb but got another 4 hours to go until lights out.

September 4

didn't do anything to her today. leaves are getting worse it seems which is kind of ironic since i sprayed for spidermites so i am assuming it isn't spidermites. she should make it to the end easy though. i dont see any webbing anymore and when i did it wasn't a lot and i know i have regular spiders around my tent on the outside i've seen um.

i'll check leaves on saturday with microscope but i really don't see any bugs on the plant. hopefully im off this saturday could use a damn break

September 5

fed some nasty ass concoction all i can say is a LOT of P/K lol experimenting. still lots of white pistils but on the smaller bud sites the pistils are slowing down it seems and they are half orange half white.

i tried to check my leaves for bugs via scope but of course my damn scope has no batteries so got to charge it. i see no webbing tbh so possibly not spidermites but i see some weird shit on the top of the leaves that looks like a bunch of very tiny bugs. i tried to smear it off they don't budge thus why i wanted to use the scope just to make sure. i sprayed already once i figure they be dead by now as i did spray a lot above and under with the fan off this time. didn't want to spray again.

still looking alright otherwise im just concerned cause the damage is getting to the buds on the very bottom where the popcorn is

EDIT- added night photo; found a way to fix the photo size so i can continue to add um. i add it later at night so if it's not up and interested just check back later. i will try to upload them periodically but can't make any promises.

it’s kind of tough to say without seeing the issue. It doesn’t look too bad to me, I’m sure it will finish. If you could snap some pics of the lowers damage I would like to see.

lower what? to me it all looks the same damage wise like they just slowly look messed up and start turning brown. with the lower buds though the damage is up to the sugar leaves and because it got trichomes it looks funky at first i thought it was PM but i think that is just due to the caked on trichomes and the sugar leaf ending up getting messed up.

im going to try and charge my microscope so i can take better pics but i honestly don't know what it is like the leaves look off for sure but it's mostly the fan leaves. i figured if it was infact spidermites i would of seen them by now maybe they would of gotten much larger in size and weaving webs but i see no webs anymore

not my plant just took off google but the lower popcorn sites tend to look like that here and there. some of the sugar leaves looking a weird grey color but i can see the leaf is curling like it does with the bigger fan leaves it kind of has a clawing affect.

im not worried tbh just bugging the hell out of me trying to figure out wtf it could be i figured i sprayed well once it should have stopped or slowed down but looks like it just keeps going so possibly not a bug issue at all.

i'll try to take pics just let me know exactly what you want pics of and i'll try to take um tomorrow after work.

I guess a good clear shot of one of the fan leaves would be great, in these pics you have the damage is in the background and when I zoom in they just look mottled. Honestly it looks more like som kind of deficiency imho. But I’m throwing darts based on your words, I’m just as curious as you are at this point.

I'll try take pics of the fan leaves damaged and the popcorn ones i was telling you about. It does look like eome sort of defiency but so rapid too thus why i think bugs as well.

That’s totally understandable
Try to get a leaf that’s just damaged and one that’s partly dying so that I can see the progression. I also think that it may be deficiency because the leaf damage appears to be isolated to the old growth, bottom up, which speaks to cannibalism. Also, progression will show the elements being transported from the leaves to compensate.

yea it is weird though because i never seen this on my old grows but i tried new feeding which is feed, water, water, feed. usually i feed,water,feed,water or feed continously but at smaller dosages that is why i been trying to pump her up with more nutrients lately see if any fixes.

September 6

pics of weird dead/dying leaves in various stages. rubbed my hand against one bud site and smelled my hand and DAMN.. she smells fucking sweet. super strong smells kind of chemically almost maybe from the spray but damn.. she smells really fucking good.

likely going to water her again probably full nutrients with overdrive just 1gal. still lots of white pistils. charging my scope now forgot to plug it in before i went to sleep due to charging phone for alarm ( my phone is old and i think broken slightly or too much apps so it runs out of battery quick once in a great while )

off tomorrow so i will be taking pics with scope. i have uploaded another post on next page with 2 extra pics due to hitting max on this one and will be posting night pic on that later on tonight.
