I think I have Hemp Russet Mites. Fucking shitty. Just found this guy on a sugar leaf of my critical mass in flower. Explains everything I've been seeing on the DB and even the canoing on the BB.

Think I'm gonna finish everything in flower, then scrub everything and maybe use some avid on the Moms I have. Debating whether they're even worth the trouble though.

Buying a 6" bug screen made by hydrofarm for the vent, will probably buy a filter for the vent system as well closing up all ends.

I luckily have more BB and DB seeds I can start over with.

Fuck me.

Any ideas on best preventative measures? Something I can use that would deter them or kill them and use regularly.

Damn that's small. Can you see those little fuckers with the naked eye?

that bug I could see with the naked eye, but I don't think he's the bad guy. Been looking very hard for Broad Mites, but still havnt found a confirmed one yet. MY critical mass in flower seems to get hit the hardest on the pistils, and all the other plants seems to just have some leaf discoloration with no pistil damage. Really confused. Definitely starting fresh once I finish everything I have. Going to start treating my coco before use(very hot water), and keeping it stored far from plants.

Any suggestions for pest control for the next run?
Already using mosquito dunks, but that's about it now. Was considering getting azamax or something like it and using it as a preventative until flower. Gonna buy a tub for storing my coco in away from grow. Possibly outside in hot sun, then hit it with hot water before use.

About a half cup of powdered DE to 1 gallon of coco mixed in will help keep any critters at bay .... plus its 85% silica which the plants love !!! its not as readily available to the plants as much as protekt or silica blast is .... but it does help .

this is what i use .....http://www.homedepot.com/p/St-Gabri...anic-Crawling-Insect-Killer-50020-7/203595834


The ladies are lookin Phenominal by the way !!! :tiphat:


Nice man, thank you! I've heard about DE and thought it was expensive for some reason. I can definitely afford that and I'm at home depot all the time. Probably pick some up tomorrow.

You think putting a layer of it on top of my coco right now would help keep them at bay, or is it probably best to just wait till my next batch and mix it in with the coco?

Can NOT wait for the DB. Something about it in the last week has me just staring at it. I can tell its gonna be heavy and realllly looking forward to it. Moved it directly under the center of the lamp too so it'll fill in better(did that about a week ago). Temps getting kinda hot even though I have lights on at night(hitting about 84F at canopy). Thought the 400 CFM fan upgrade would cover it but it seems to be pretty much the same. Maybe I just have it configured wrong. I wonder if I put some 6" ducting on the T and had it so the air was being sucked out of the top of the tent if it would work better. The air above the hood doesnt really feel warm which is why I just kept the T like it was.

Beginning of week 9 for the BB, 8 for the DB. DB is getting this kinda sweet, super pinesol smell to it. Straight pinesol coming out of her, cant stop smellin her. BB still has that nice candy like smell with a lot more pinesol coming through now. Leaves still havnt changed much on the BB, been flushing her for a week too. Checked the runoff and ppms were at 720. Thinking I may flush her with a few gallons next time to speed it up since shes probably only got a week or so left in her.

Since you said the DB will probably take a little longer I figured I would go down to 2.5mL of FNB and 1.0mL of FL+ instead of starting to flush like I did with the BB. I may just do that for this watering and go to flush though since the BB is taking longer to flush out.

Jesus man, that DB is getting ridiculous now. Tried taking some pics but they came out shit. Its so resinous. You barely even brush up against it and instantly sticky and feels like glue. It's almost like the buds are getting glued to themselves, its insane man. Cannot wait for that one. Havnt ever had good, genuine sour anything before. Just the cheap crappy sour diesel they have at the dispensaries. This is gonna be a first time smoke for me and I really can't wait man. Thank you again, I don't see myself ever getting rid of these two.

Gonna make myself get a decent camera before harvest so I have some real pictures. Shit that's only like 6 days now.. I got the money, I just fucking hate Walmart...
