The yellow thing? It's not moving? Is that the underside of the leaf, or top? Where there's mites, there's eggs. They will be seen on the underside of the leaves.

@RetoGrow....
Yeah those yellow things, They not moving. Those are what I think I could just barely make out with the thirtyloupe before the heat treatment. All the microscope pics Iv posted have been of the undersides of leaves after the heat treatment. I hear what you saying, just not sure what they could be then, and whats the damage from then that the plants are exhibiting.....:chin::wallbash:......

@Miraculous Meds..... :yeahthats

Its a bit early to tell yet. When the new shoots come out and unaffected and healthy for a week plus then id feel good about killing them off.

the rule of thumb here is patience, diligence, and follow up on the heat treatment if that is part of the program. idk about that as im learning about it as u do here.

They look more like trichomes. Eggs are usually in clusters, and bigger than trichomes. Trichomes are usually everywhere, top & bottom of leaves. Check the tops and see if you notice the same things.

@RetroGrow.... thanks for stopping back in...Now, after giving it some time, I too think they look more like trichomes, like you say, Im not really seeing any clusters, but rather randoms.... I did look on the tops of the leaves... but honestly I couldnt stand to look at the blistering...
Ill pick another fan leaf off an give it good looking over, been bout 4 days since I last looked....

Spoke to matey in London, says he can defo bring back genetics around xmas, too stoked:woohoo: and that he'd have a look round for that OGbiowar[its gotta be available there right].... fuck I might just have enough Nelson to afford to ten packs, I really want electrifying flowers.... not couch lock stuff, maybe I am shooting above my capabilities here but I was thinking sssdh from OJD regulars and SLH from GHS fem... Iv read that the sssdh is really top knock stuff and ppl I know have raved bout the SLH available in London, lemon zest with bag appeal too boot.... Maybe these are gona be bitch to get right.... I do value weight, but quality is the first box to tick. I was just thinking if I put my head down with these packs and make sure I get them right, things could just be great.......
What do you guys think?? What would you go for?? I know stretchy lanky sativa based strains work better with a vert setup....
Any advice an opinions will be much appreciated....

lil tale.... yesterday I noticed bees swarming outside the garages, Half an hour later I passed the garages again and noticed the swarm nestled over a door handle of one of the old trucks... they were goin into the door panel to make a new hive.... of all places... so we phone matey up an he says he'll make it over the next day. So today matey rocks up, we get the door panel off and their they are, a tiny swarm the size of two fists sitting against the lock panel on the inside. My old mans got a hive so we run over to that one, smoke it a bit an pull the lid off, fucking bees everywhere!!! One fucker flies right for me and lands right on my nose, I chill, letting her do her thing, and the pow! She bangs me just under the tip of my nose, Im pretty much allergic, blurred vision, looking like a puffin... Fuck today of all days!! I was sooooo keen to go out an look at all the slutty halloween chics tonight, all dressed up..... I know I already look like Shrek... but I cant go buzz around a party feeling this fuct an bloated..... I just cant take this mask off......
Anyways, got the queen into the new hive and just placed in its spot after the sun set.... My very own first hive... pretty stoked.... they african killers too:dance013:

I have been stung by bees and every time had a significantly worse allergic reaction. Last time my foot swelled to the size of a softball. Not good at all.

Sorry about that bud. At least you can rest easy knowing the worst of it will be over in a day or two, not that it's much consolation, lol.

Nope no experience keeping bees.

Lot's of experience using a mask and gloves though... Cannabis and my allergies don't agree. I breakout in hives if I rub nugs on my arms, as well as runny nose, itchy eyes, and lots of sneezing and coughing.

I wear a VOC mask when I trim as well as nitrile gloves and long sleeves.

I thought I was the only person who this affected. I've searched and never found much and none of my friends have the issue, but I have to wear long sleeves and gloves just to touch plants and certain strains (seems to be Afghan varietals mostly, strangely enough) make me tear up, sneeze, and itch. I pop a couple of benadryl before I even think about trimming.


Good luck with the girls SmellyFlorist :tiphat:

I have found the exact same issues. The more kush/afgan leaning plants will give me hives just rubbing against them in the garden. Others I would have to be trimming or rubbing nugs into my arms to create an issue.

Here's a thread on the Mag that might give you some comfort knowing others are suffering as well!

Allergic reactions during trimming (skin itching, sniffly nose etc)

EDIT: Here's the VOC mask I use. It's not comfortable and is annoying as hell, but it certainly beats the alternative...

2 of my favorites. Can't go wrong either way. I love SLH & SSSDH. SLH is available only in Fems, but they are awesome. Trichomes will be on top & bottom, so if you see same things on top, it's definitely trichomes.
