lol,i havent left the house yet so the jury is still out but so far so good,my doggie buddy came over for a bit and the world is a glue-ier place today,my optimistic estimate for the scrog was only 19 oz so to have gotten a nice round 20 plus some was nice bonus,plus i still have a jumbo pine tar kush to trim so it was a nice round...

Got alot of the dead shit off all the plants, trimmed everything back to where theres good growth , sprayed them all down again with protekt & RO . now i'll just let them sit & see what happens with them ..... thats basicly all i can do right ??? or has someone got a suggestion ??? I've got some Maxicrop liquid seeweed .... ya think a dose of that in their feed would help or a foliar of it ??? i don't wanna add to much to them right now .... they probably kinda frail !!!!

I hate to even add a suggestion. But if there are a couple decent looking branches on a particular plant, and you think that plant wont make it; I would take a couple cuts here and there. Especially since you have the aero cloners. Personally, thats what i would do. And i would change the water in those cloners as soon as possible, if u havent already. Im sure some of that stuff dripped down into the cloner, and prolly cant be good for your roots. And if u only take one cut per plant, the plants left in the soil might make it too. (and you only need a small piece, with a somewhat healthy node site to make a clone) So u kinda double ur chances. Thats the way i look at it. Im sorry this happened to u brother. I can somewhat feel your pain. A few weeks ago, i accidently plugged my supplemental cfl's into the wrong timer. They were runing 18 hours, for 2 days. in bloom. My white fire alien completly hermed out, pollenating my room heavily. Tons and tons of seeds, i can already tell. (thats a big reason im moving out of that closet, i cant get to the back plants to check them propely or even really take care of them). On top of that, im pretty sure i have a severe root aphid infestation. I dont think my calmag was bad, now. the aphids would explain all my symptoms. In bloom and veg. And i have a shit load of fungus gnats, so thats why i never noticed them until now. I wanna chop my whole room down right now, in week 5, because they look so rough and all the seeds, but i need the bud, as its my only supply. And i really do need it. I know that sounds weak minded, but without it i have to take so many more pills for my back. (To bad i cant get cheap high quality cali outdoor) Anyways, like u said, the only thing that doesnt COMPLETELY suck about this situation, is that if it was gonna happen, at least it happened now i guess. Shit dans, i feel like a douche.

We all get problems Dan.

Ive had a shitload over the last couple weeks with my clones. They all started dying!

They all started dying all of a sudden. My city water was always ok before, now they are sending out 8.0 ph. It took a few days for me to trace out the source of the problem.

My clones were potted in light warrior, and watered with high pH. I transplanted them all and switched to fox farm ocean forrest. I hit them with a light canna chem based baby plant fert, some CAMG, and a light silica blast.(half doses of everything) Also threw in a few drips of superthrive for good luck, then brought the pH down. Ive never had to do that before.

The plants all lived and are comming back real good! The GGs look totally unphased! I was also worried about losing the OG/Mango, but its going to be fine now. Everything responded, has pulled out of nute lock, and is greening up, and perking up.

lol,i sprayed with azamax today because you guys were making me noid about bugs,i definitely have some whiteflies floating around,nothing too bad though...
aside from that about to get the next 2 big glues into 10 gallon pots to veg out and start getting spread out in prep for a 45 gallon smartie...the last glue scrog even though i had pretty low expectations for it far out did what i expected and the 20 might really be a bumper crop....and i never liked big girls before....

lots of excitingly sexy hauling to do tomorrow,got to go grocery shopping and pick up a tree,probably need to make another store trip tomorrow when i go do laundry...got to make more time for some longer rides next week,should be breaking 800 miles already and im still chipping away at 700....just pitiful i know....only need to ride 30 miles a day to get caught up....luckily the garden takes up almost no time these days...i am going to get 12 tons of crusher fines delivered,that will probably eat up a couple of days...

If You picked up the crusher fines one tote trailer full at a time, you could get a good work out and put some miles on the trailer and bike. It would be real sexy too. Probably have women chasing you in packs, just like crazed dogs

and it would only take 342 trips!
somehow the sound of packs of crazed dog women isnt that appealing...
i think i will just stick to paying the 70 dollars to have it delivered,it eats into my yearly allowed vehicle mileage but the years almost over and i still have 180 miles left so i should still be able to get the rest of my projects done this year and still stay within my 500 miles per year...i dont think i have spent more than a half hour in a car for at least 2 years now...

Wow that's pretty good unk, with the 500miles per year in a car I mean, interesting take on how you think :chin:
I know I haven't been on the bike alot these days especially since we got the new staffy, and Muffin is definately starting to get pissed at me for not taking her out for her 5km runs on the mountain bike, she sits beside the bike and just stares at it plus the poor buggar is putting on a bit too much weight due to her getting 3 meals a day with the puppy.
I know I'm a bad father to my kids but I do try hard at doing what I can for them and I think that's what really matters in the end, plus I would do anything for my kid and my dogs and they know that ;)
Time for the vape to fire up

well i wouldnt be very committed to the bike lifestyle if i just keep bailing whenever it gets hard...soon enough i will be getting another trailer that will hold up to 400 lbs of cargo and even pretty big stuff like plywood so that will really free me from most of my current vehicle use and when i do get someone to haul me someplace i like to fill the truckbed with as much stuff as i can get in one trip...i know i have moved several tons of material into the front yard...wait until i can start traveling when im going 1000 miles in a single trips...thats where the fun really starts...

Welp fellas, bad news 4 pappy.

I stayed up all night reading about these damn root aphids. Im 99.99999% sure i got them. Im gonna order some pyganic 1.4 and some DE. I have some Dr.Doom pyrethrin spray also.
I was thinkin of just tossing everything after this harvest. Then cleaning, and starting with fresh medium and new seeds. But i just started a couple crosses i made. and only a few seeds of these crosses were produced. So im gonna try and beat them first.

In a way though, i feel relieved. At least i know why ive been having problems and my plants look like poo. In the 3 years ive been growing prepetually at this location, ive never really had any real problems. I took it for granted.

o yea, and my gg4 and s. dub didnt 'take' to the soil, so to speak. (And i even had a humidifier in there and got it up to 70-80% rh.) I cut them up and put them in the ezcloner. I wish i would have done that immedietly, instead of even trying to use those roots. they were pretty rough. But i guess hindsight is 20/20. If i can get these to root, Ezcloners really are the tits. Its not lookin good though.

Wish me luck fellas!:tiphat:
