Hi there friends!
I have been lurking for a few weeks on icmag and in the last few days got a couple clones and started doing an outdoor grow.
I got a start of Blue Dream and one of Death Star. They were in great health when i picked them up, they're both around 5 weeks into veg state and i replanted them into larger pots with some black gold all-purpose soil, mixed up with a whole bunch of vermiculite to promote drainage, with plans to eventually put them straight into the ground in a few weeks after acclimating to their pots and being outside.
The transplants went well, i fed them (filtered water, not from tap) and let them bask in the outdoor sun after having been in a grow room for all their lives.
Then a few days later disaster struck. I noticed some spider mites on the undersides of leaves on both plants. I went to the store and picked up some neem extract and mixed it with water and i dissolved some sunflower lecithin into the solution as an emulsifier.
I doused both the plants with the solution (in the evening) and let them set overnight. In the morning I checked on them and the DS seemed okay but the BD was noticeably sicker looking. I went to work and came back to find the same thing, only the BD looked worser still. So now i'm at a point where I'm not sure what to do with the BD, aside from watering it and the DS is still recovering.
This place is a treasure trove, and I thank everyone for reading and input!
