Sorry to hear about the mites. A reminder that even the best growers and rooms aren't immune. I always thought, if you have mites you gotta take down the grow, clean and sterilize everything and start over, but it sounds like your able to make it work and keep them in check enough with those predators bugs.

P.S. Im surprised you run out of herb so often with all those strains you have going. You must be a really heavy medicinal user?

A family member of mine has epilepsy and always has a hard time finding cbd strains in bc. She's not looking in the right places!

Impressive room GreenSanta, Love the blend of LED/Organics/Seed creating! Funny I stumbled this thread after you commented on one of mine.

Thank you PaulieWaulie. But I am far from being among the best growers. I do hope to have a positive impact on the community and influence other growers to avoid pesticides.

However, it might look like the beneficial insects are not cost effective in my case, but keep in mind everyone that I do not run cycles, it s full on perpetual... so yeah that means sometimes I have to chop early or give up on plants.

One upside to this is I get to see which of my plants are most resistant to spidermites and pests in general.

I am the most heavy medicinal user I know, but I dont necessarily hang out with stoners. I am generous with it, I could not possibly smoke all that weed. For me its about finding unique cannabinoid profiles and unique terpene profiles that can improve the lives of both recreational and medicinal users (and my own). It would take the rest of my life to find a half decent cultivar if I was growing one plant at a time.

SpaceBomb X Dragon Fruits #2

As soon as lights on, she's coming down. Day one was April 12th so I think she's around 54 days. She's super clean, I seem to have less pest problems in the SIP containers. Either due to the fact that I am biased towards them, or not so much biased but because I know they are gonna yield so well every single time I might actually use more beneficial insects in them. OR the beneficial insects can survive a little longer due to humidity retention under the plastic. More testing needed...

I will transplant 3 plants in the SIP, 2 spacebombs and one SpaceGrin X ?(Spacebomb X Dr.Grinspoon) I have clones of all 3 plants.

This could turn into a nightmare but the spacegrin was as fast as spacebomb in the past.

A super fast More Cowbell I found. Last time I took her down at day 40, knowing I should probably try her at day 50-60, this time will come.

In the meantime, check her out at day 37!

[Gr33nSanta]

Random shots, I wanted to make a point of including a pic or 2 of spidermites damage, not trying to hide anything!

[PaulieWaulie]

What was she like at 40 days, that is super early, especially when you think she could have gone 60. Just curious what that would result in, because for a noob like me that would be a big no no, haha

On that 2nd picture on the last post, you see how the edges of the leaves are cupped up. Ive been seeing this on and off with some of my plants too, just wondering if you know what is? At first I thought it was heat stress, but I had the temps in check, and it wasn't happening to all the plants, so I think it is nutrient related, an early sign of a lockout or deficiency. Ive been seeing it less and less, since Ive backed off the nutes. Im doing soiless pro mix/ pure blend pro right now, but will be slowly switching to organics with EWC and compost like you.

Hey Paulie! thanks for contributing. I am really not sure why but it does not happen often and I really dont care about those things lol.

In a perfect world I would have given her another week at least probably 2 or 3 more. I will get her tested to make sure she test at less than 1% THC. She is the quickest of the bunch so far. The other 2 I have are taking forever to start forming buds.

Here is my candida #1 (ordered from seedsman) at day 50

[Gr33nSanta]

Here is what happens when it gets hot and I dont see it coming, spidermites take over! I am harvesting these plants a bit early, as you can see they have milky trichomes but they look ugly. They are ''ready enough''.

The first 3 pics are my MissJack #1 and I am glad I have a copy of her, what a smell!! I have to grow her again to her full potential (or better anyway) I should try to get her tested too.

The last 2 pics is my chupacabra, I am not sure that she truly is a chupacabra, Ive always gotten proper seeds from single seed marijuana canada but this was the last order before the site got shut down. I really like it, it just doesnt seem to match the genetics that should be in this cross. I keep her around because she has great taste and great high. I want to get her tested for THCV, but I ll probably wait for a better batch. She is not that resistant to spidermites unlike what they say in the description.

[Gr33nSanta]

roughly 25 plants, 20 different deoxyribonucleic acids and spidermites are under control, I think, thanks to an army of persimillis.
