Hi guys I’m currently in flowering, 3x THC Bomb. Flipped 4/2/19 (4th feb 2019) I’ve had troubles with spider mites. The random leaves on my plants (pic bellow) are leaves my predatory mites came on a few days ago.
Feeding GH flora series 3 part. Calimagic florablend, armor Si. On the 30/3/19 (30th March 2019) I swapped out liquid koolbloom for dry koolbloom. They had their 2nd feed of dry today.
How are my plants going?
And how much longer do they have to go?
I’ll get close up pics in the morning.

Your plants are looking just fine. Some nice looking buds for sure. Buds really put on growth between week 2-5, but the calyx's swell during the last 2 weeks. In my experience, density increased during last week (during flush), and of course, I give my plants 48 hours of darkness before chop and it seems to work for both added density and trichome production. Hard to say when yours will finish without closer pictures, but I see lots of white pistils still. From what I see, I would say another 2 weeks at least. Will opine again when I see closer pictures. Nice looking grow though bud.

They have put on a fair bit more bud in the last few days-week. I had heard the 48hrs before chop but weren’t sure if it worked out not. Yeah I just took a few snaps before the lights went out last night. When they turn on in the morning I’ll get better oics

Took some photos this morning. Bloody hard to get photos through a magnifying glass.

I noticed this pic has some purpling on the leaves. What could that be from? Cold weather?

I thought that but seen cool temps can show the same signs of phosphorus. I’m using KoolBloom Dry it’s 2-45-28 I wouldn’t of thought it would be phosphorus deficiency

Well cool temps at the roots can lockout phosphorous.

Any problems with phosphorous uptake can really hurt yields.

Most of the fattening has likely already occurred as you are two months in.

I had read that yesterday so I had a few reptile heat mats at home I wasn’t using. I put my plants on them yesty. The mats get to about 35-38C. Except the one that isn’t obviously isn’t as waterproof as it said it was that was bubbling and smoking in the pot saucer this morning

@reggie1387 yours look more sativa than SWIM. SWIM is growing two varieties of THC Bomb; Widow Bomb (White Widow x THC Bomb) and Gorilla Bomb (GG#4 x THC Bomb). The Widow Bomb being slightly more Indica with the Gorilla Bomb being a little more Sativa leaning. These strains have amazing genetics though. They just push past any other strains growing in proximity. Great looking pics my friend!

Like Renfro said... cold can lockout nutes.
So can overfeeding.
I ran into a k (potassium) deficiency most probably because my nute mix was much too strong.
Nute ratio also plays a role....

I wonder why more people don't eventually try and convert to hydro because of stuff like this? Lots of people worry about their lights but then grow in soil pots with slower growth, decreased harvests, and issues mentioned above.
