Yeah I was going to spray on the 3rd day after 1st spray. I only found them on one plant and on the very top leaves only. Where the air is warmer I presume.
I spent nearly 45mins checking over all 3 plants with a scope.

I'm not a very good grower, something normally goes wrong at some point of my own doing. I always end up with nice buds at the end somehow though.

One night I went up to water at lights on and I had forgot to shut the window. Even with the heating set to 15c it was 6c in the tent during lights off because my intake was bringing in cold air from outside into tent. Normally lights off temp is around the 18c mark.

Cold don't kill mites. It just slows them down. They go into a hibernation if too cold. Or so I read on normal gardening websites.

Hey! That quote above was mine originally! I have much better luck when I do tasks first, then medicate or get high.

OH. Get a heater.

I do everything high, there's only a short space of time in a day I am hot high lol. I find no problem doing things as its completely normal for me and has been for the last decade after a brain injury and the health problems that came along with it.
I find it difficult to think clearly without being high. My mind can't focus on one train of thought and it races.

Drinking is where I mess up and so don't normally drink. It was my girlfriends birthday party Saturday and I had a few drinks. Then came home for feeding time and accidentally fed 2x the amount of fish mix I should of. First time drunk this year I believe. I am not a fan.

Yes I've already been looking at the small heaters, it will probably be cheaper to run than my central heating system and more effective as it can go in the tent.

And maybe one day I will achieve this haha. Things start looking rough 3 weeks into flower every grow.
In fact past grow was healthy looking, after I dropped using the ph meter.
Still they weren't perfect, I've dropped strength feed this time. I normally feed biobizz chart recommended, this time I'm giving 0.7ml per litre instead of the 1ml dosage.

Yeah I'm sure one day I will see that crop without a problem... a perfect grow.

MAN you'll crack it soon enough

Thanks for the positive vibes.

[ganjygav]

Looking good.
I've increased feed to 90% of recommended and not seen any negative signs from doing so.
I have a friend growing same clones who comes round every couple of weeks to compare his plants progress. This is the guy who got me growing.
He's been using bud blood this grow and was raving about it but when he see my plants yesterday he said mine are bigger with more bud sites. Also some of his are going yellow and he was asking me for advice.
I said he probably needed some mg and or sulphur. I don't know without seeing. I sprayed mine twice this week with magnesium sulphate and they loved it.
Anyway,the student has become the teacher lol.



Edit: it's actually day 23

Happy New Year folks.

All is good. I've bumped the food up to 100% now. Got some tiny leaf tip burn but I feel building up the feed gradually has helped keep the girls happy. No horrible spots this grow or rusty patches on leaves but now I'm approaching week 6 it's time to concentrate on growing buds and not pretty leaves.

Here's the obligatory out of focus with bad lighting photos.



Whatever you're doing tonight I hope you all stay safe and have a good time. Peace

The girls are looking great gav. Im happy to hear that the biobizz line is working good for you and your not having any issues this run. Looks like you will have some really tasty buds come harvest time.
