Diary Just one more ride...

Looks like she was root bound for a bit. She will definitely start to preflower like crazy, or full on flower if she is bound much at all. It does look like her because of this. Seen her look like that for sure. Damn man, are you sure it only got down to 65 in that room. Because 65 isnt really that low. They looked like they may have got colder than that.

I know it man, surprised me. It could be a combo effect of some ph problems i was having a month or so ago. I fixed the ph and things started looking better then it cooled off and i didn’t think much of it and i started seeing little problems showing up, shriveling, drooping and rusting look to plants all around the room, not all of them but a lot of different strains. Its the first winter vegging under a lot of LED so i added a 1000w hps and turned the heat up and things have slowly greened up. That MOB plant made a trip in a box so its led a tough life early on and just now got big enough to up pot. They all arr looking better everyday. I did learn not to flower plants with any cold stress showing because they will not recover in flower, they do ok but never reach full potential.

65 degrees lights on for a few weeks is a problem and won’t happen again.

The gary payton, 3 of 4 rs11, runtz, and mac must of had the worst of the combo. They look like i revegged them. The kushmints and blue dream didn’t care. I threw away a bunch but back to healthy clones.

Its been a long winter in the garden. Roosta called it, the plants weren’t fucked up by 60 degrees or ph or overwatering like i chased for months. I was describing what i was dealing with about a month ago to a friend and he brought up russett mites. Put the leaves under a microscope and sure enough those fuckers were on every plant. I have been spraying every other day since rotating between everything i could get. Dipping plants in micronized sulfur at 2tbs/gal seemed to help the most. I threw away hundreds of plants and lost a few cuts but everything is looking better and i saved most the genetics i cared about. Lots of healthy clones. The room 5 weeks into flower is getting close to 1500 ppm co2 on its own lights off, feels good.
Luckily i took them to the new place also but its coming along.

That last one is the mac i picked up in october or so and its been through hell but she survived

Yikes … I’ve been through that… russets or broad mites, and then powdery mildew, regular spider, mites as well thrips aphids you name it …at one point or another it’s gonna happen … that shit is really deflating…

I have also dealt with those but not these and it really was months of struggling thinking it was everything but mites. I thought my ipm was thorough enough, humbling to say the least. It got to the point that they were killing plants, eating flowers. It was shitty timing, building out a new space. This was that mac 6 weeks ago.

Damn homie. Glad you’re back on track.

 

[Itsmychoice]

Damn homie. Glad you’re back on track.

I am still just hoping

 

[Redrum92]

Can't imagine having to deal with a infestation at your scale. Beyond my simple mind. Wishing you luck. Sounds like a nightmare of endless cleaning

 

[madalasatori]

Sorry to hear of the problems you’ve been having, your grow was always the number one inspiration for me and I know you can get through this and keep moving forwards.

I’m out the game now, I would give anything to have an infestation right now so try and grateful for having a grow.

 

[Itsmychoice]

Mango haze, runtz, blackberry fire, then kushmints under hps

 

[Itsmychoice]

Closer, its one of those runs i just can’t wait to be done with.

 

[flower~power]

Working hard I see.. It’s the first winter in a long time I didn’t run any lamps it was nice and relaxing but I have nothing to sell... lol

I hope to dip every clone i put in a pot in sulphur from now on if for nothing else but for peace of mind. They seem to love it and it feels like it gives them a suit of armor. I had forgotten how much healthy plants can stretch, going to take some work to get them in a good place, its week 4
