stasis, thanks for the info. Just received some Spinosad today think may have had a few triphs. Tiny tiny white flying buggers don't see any now but plan to spray them and the room tomorrow.

If find any mites do have some Forbid 4f on hand as well.

Whiteflies alone are not such an issue, BUT, they vector Broadmites. Ghastly Microscope Photo...
Spinosad slows em down, but Forbid will kill em. Maybe alternate a week apart. Or less. Avid's better than Spinosad. I am pretty sure the deformities you show are the result of early stages of BMs. Fat-Leaf Indicas take more time to show the damage than hybrids, or Sativas. The odd shaped end of the leaves, but symmetrical shape. Tell tale sign. Get em early to be sure. You'll most likely see the eggs before you can see the bugs. Here's the eggs in an electron Microscope - you can barely make out the bumps with a loupe.

stasis, thanks for the info think will go straight to the Forbid.

Make sure to cover up when you spray Forbid. And only spray it in veg.

stasis thank man for the info

After looking thru a hand held micro first 3 plants all had bugs so sprayed all 9 with forbid and a light coat of it on the soil. Removed the few damaged leaves, they won't heal back to normal but can tell if new damage occurs.

Forbid is fairly toxic to humans so used a 5 micron mask, long sleeves, gloves, hat and shoes. Washed hands couple of times during the application then took bath and fresh clothes.

Laid out new tarp on the floor hopefully to trap any bugs underneath.

Plan to end some of the measures to increase female ratio tomorrow and top the hell out of these bad bushes.

Yer on point bro, good luck for the ride home! Once you top dont be afraid to take off some of those giant leaves or two to let light down and encourage more branching, I like your style and patience bro, you will have an amazing harvest thats for sure.

Thats how I roll on the stubborn ones!

Tonygreen thanks bro appreciate your input. Good to know am on the right track.

This is one you defoliated?

Last crop I started defoliating toward end of veg but they just grew back. Removing during flower they didn't grow back as much. Understand getting light to the nodes can spur branching.
