what is this 2k? a mover will certainly help no question there. Where they heck are all your privet cuts you had?

Sorry Hammer, missed that one. The 2k is one hood with a 1k watt bulb at each end.

Privet cuts? You lost me there. I have the mover just need to get a rail for it.

The plants are starting to recover from being root bound in cups and then fighting with mites.
They got left in cups so long as I hadn't intended on flowering these originally, they were supposed to go to someone else.
Also fim'd em so they had a little battle, but it'll just make em stronger. LOLZ
Should be flipping them next week to 12, or maybe I'll just start backing the light off and hour a day starting Sunday. (what you think?)

The germ rates on the beans is looking pretty good, and I'm gonna take some clones off my mother's tonight as the veg area is bare. :-(

Think I have enough strains to keep me busy for awhile though.

Room's coming together, man... The moms will pull through. You know how resilient this plant is. Just kill the bugs, bleach everything and give the girls what they need and they'll recover. Zap those mites hard and mercilessly... I had 'em come back two grows in a row at like week 7 of a 12 week cycle and lost over half my harvest both times. One day there's a stippled leaf deep in the canopy, 3 days later you've got webs and colonies on the ends of your beautifully-tended buds. Aaaaagh!!! I get pissed off just thinking about it!

Looking forward to seeing how the STJ and other TV crosses turn out for you. I had a lot of really unique aromas from that male's progeny, from strong juniper to animal musk umami to super tangy tropical fruits that you probably wouldn't want to eat if they were actual fruits. All of them had really unique highs, as well. The STJ especially, that shit would get profound on you real quick. Serious 'meaning of life' herb, because that's what you'd usually end up pondering. Not the most fun high, more serious, but definitely useful.

Those other seeds sound really solid too. This is going to be a good show, Lokes!

Glad to have you stop by Ponde, really looking forward to see what the crosses do myself. Yeah I just can't seem to get rid of all the mites. Using different sprays to and really been on top of it.
Gonna spray again tomorrow with alcohol like Trybud recommended. Havnt tried that yet.

I've got Forbid if you're down with the heavy chemicals. Say the word, it's like a nuclear bomb.

Just might come to that. This little bastards are hanging in there with everything they've got, and each time I've sprayed, I douse em good.

If I decide to go that route, I've got some E20 for yah. Systemic PM killer.

Lokes where did the mites come from? Do you have excess to the outside from your grow room? That sucks those sukers need to get the fuck out.

No access from outside. I probably need to do a good yard clean though. Trim all the roses, rake all the leaves against the fence, hoe the dead weeds.
I'm sure its a breeding ground out there for em. I read they live under the dead leaves so yeah.
But geeze, these little bastards just won't go away. I've got em under control but that's all I can manage, control.
I can't seem to eradicate the little buggers.

Was in the room doing LST today, and yep still got em. I mean thru my x10 it looks more like a few eggs here and there, but nothing moving. However, I'm adamant about trimming all damaged leaves, and more still seem to pop up, so yeah! At my whits end over here.

Lokes - Welcome back! Remember all those months of not growing and not having to dedicate so much time to little shit like bugs on your plants?? Remember all that lovely shit? Well those days are gone and you are goin thru what we have been for a while! I hate those little fuckers like a root canal! I use kneem oil in a foliage spray and also in my nute mix. keeps them away and fight PM at the same time. In the yay tho your moisture issues are more complex so Humble is the expert in that area. Holla!


Hammer - Whats new brutha!? Im on the hunt for a pine tree/cone cut outta PNW that is just crazy smellin! I still need the pineapple in my life tho!
