No worries friend, I'm one of the craziest!!!
Nice to see some more purple bagseed joining the club.
I'm back!!!!
A little sunburnt and very tired, but I had the time of my life. I wish I could go into more details, but rest assured it was pretty magical.
The lights come on in a few hours, I'll definitely have some pictures to share. I have to imagine things have grown a fair bit over the last week.

When I left it looked like this.
Now it looks like this.
10 days does quite a bit.
Flush starts on these girls today. They'll go anywhere from a week to 10 days, depending on how they're looking, and my mood.

I'm thinking about getting my veg area setup with hydro. Soil is so fucking lame.
I really love the precision of hydro, and the speed. These days I can hardly grow enough clones to keep the tables full.
Anyhow, heres some photographic images.
2 weeks ago.
Today:
The youngest gals:
The Rhinos in the middle:
The table that is almost ready for harvest:
Sadly, I dont think any of these plants will even weigh 7g once dried. Lesson learned.
Better off upsetting the rotation a bit and giving your clones a few extra days to root rather than just slapping them in the trays and hoping for the best.

Hey!
To be honest, I'm not really comfortable revealing my location.
I don't really understand the groups and how they work, but thank you for the offer.

Here is my low budget (cost of a pump) ebb and flow veg setup. I used some scraps from a aquarium project, which should explain the tied off bulkhead fitting. Waste not want not!
Tomorrow I'll go pick up a pump and I should have this thing up and running in the next few days. Now I just need clones of ALL my strains.
This also got me thinking. I could use this tray to veg some clones for a week or two and reduce the number of plants per tray.
Anyhow,
Table 3 is an insane explosion of growth!!! I'm hoping I'll see close to my goal number on this table.
Gonna be a really pretty early september-ish.
Table 2, the WR seems to be having a bit of a problem.
Yellow, brittle leaves with rusty spots popping up. 1.2 EC 5.9 PH as of this morning.
The buds are filling in pretty well, but I still dont like the looks of it.
Oh well, when it doubt, flush it out.
Anyhow!!!
Table 1 is almost ready to chop. Truly my worst table to date (in terms of yield.)
They are pretty cute though.

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!!!!
I have a problem!
While harvesting table 1 today I saw what looked like fuzz or possibly webbing.
Upon closer inspection I noticed a these yellow bits (eggs?) every here and there.
I think I have spider mites...
That certainly would explain the spotty leaves on my white rhino.
Having said that, After a thourough search under every leaf in my growroom, I didn't find a thing.
I haven't seen any actual mites. I only saw a small amount of web on the plant I first noticed. My yield doesn't seem to have been affected at all.
I'm still going to the store tomorrow and buying some serious chemicals to deal with this. I've seen what mites can do to a grow and want nothing to do with it.
I'm going to wash everything down really well and hope for the best.

No visual mites is good Spruce.
Those suckers are big and you'd have to be damn near blind to miss 'em.
Were you scoping with some magnification?
Hows your vision?
I can't make out the pics to be mites, webs etc...
Check RH could be fungi.
Definitely in need of some calmag there for the rust spots.
On the good side, I like how you let your buds go 'full term'.
Just read something of yours about judging harvest times.
Good work mate.

Good to know i'm not being overrun. I've been obsessively checking the undersides of every leaf in my grow and I've yet to see any mites.No visual mites is good Spruce.

Not using a magnifier, but i've been taking macro shots of anything suspect.
My vision is good, but my imagination likes to run wild.
Is it possible what i suspected to be eggs could just be some random crud?
and the "webbing" could be fuzzy mould?
Humidity has been in the 60% range since I added the 3rd table. I do have a big old dehumidifier that doesn't get run very often.
But i've heard that mites thrive in drier conditions, so i'm reluctant to lower the humidity until i'm positive they aren't a part of my ecosystem.
I'd so much rather have mould than fucking mites. Before I had ever planted a seed I had a friend who lost a huge crop to the fuckers. I swore to myself then that I would never ever be so victimized by goddamn insects!!!
Anyhow, i picked up some scary looking products at the hydro shop today. Final mite, and Mite Egg Killer.
They both look really harsh and potent, but this is what the guys at the shop reccommended, i'm a little scared to spray my babys with this shit, but if I have to I have to.
If you, or anyone, have advice for me here, I welcome it gratefully. My grows have always been blessed with immunity from pests and disease so this is all new to me.
Thank you!!!
I got so sick of seeing people chop half grown plants because they were told the same old rubbish about trichome colour being the end all be all. I just had to say something. I like to hope this will prevent overanxious first timers from taking advice too literally and ruining their crops.
