2nd grow, floro/CFL

[SmknVTEC]

ThePot Do you see bugs there?

[ThePot]

Really couldnt tell ya....there are little black dots over the leaves, and little white marks that looks like it would be bugs. Last grow I had spider mites in the last 10 days or so of flowering ate the shit outta my plants when I was gone for a week.

Sprayed the plant with the same stuff that devastated the mites so hopefully that will help

any ideas on what kinda bug?? O yea I also put 3 or so lady bugs on my plants but they died pretty quickly


edit: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=61807 THRIPS?!

first pic looks like my leaves on the bottom 1/2 of the plant. Apparently I have to go look for some spinosad

[SmknVTEC]

The last pic from 10/29 looks like spider mite damage to me.

[ThePot]

well they have very similar markings/damage. I had spider mites last grow (possibly from high humidity) and now I think I have thrips (low humidity ~16% and high temp ~80F)

With spider mites, once I knew they were there I could see them with the naked eye, crawling over the leaves, black shit under the leaves. This time I cant really see anything, just black dots on the top, thats the only thing that leads me to thrips diagnosis.

Either way they should both be killed by the spray I have, probably will spray again soon, says safe up until day of harvest.

In other news 2nd week of flowering complete, hopefully 6-7 weeks left. Pics to come in a few days probably.

[ThePot]

Plant seems to be doing good, no sign of more bug damage. Added a 26w daylight CFL just for the hell of it. Finally starting to bud nicely. Planning on giving it a mix of bone meal and molsses next watering.

Pics to come tomorrow when I get back to school.

Ill go look for it....

Welcome back everyone. 11/5....Day 61 total Day 18 FLOWER

Looks like shes coming along nicely, I just noticed the red stems apparent in the pics....I'm not too sure on that one, or if its even an issue Anyone? Gotta water/feed tonite, seems to be needing water alot more often lately. Think Im gonna give her some bone meal and molasses. 1 tbsp bonemeal, 1 tsp molasses per gallon I guess

So here are th pics finally, One is just a random bud around 3/4 of the way at the top, then the top cola and the underneath of the main cola. ENJOY





found this too: Some deficiency during flowering is normal, but too much shouldn't be tolerated. Red petioles and stems are a normal, genetic characteristic for many varieties, plus it can also be a co-symptom of N, K, and Mg-deficiencies, so red stems are not a foolproof sign of P-deficiency. Too much P can lead to iron deficiency.
Purpling: accumulation of anthocyanin pigments; causes an overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint, and is the common sign of phosphate deficiency. Some plant species and varieties respond to phosphate deficiency by yellowing instead of purpling. Purpling is natural to some healthy ornamentals.

[ThePot]

So i fed her last night, @ 1 tsp molasses, 1/2 tbsp bone meal per gallon.


In other news, 3 of 3 seeds germinated, got one planted last night.
random bagseed again

[SmknVTEC]

Yeah from what I can see the general health of your plant is good so I doubt it is N P or K defficient. Can you back off and take a pic of the whole plant from above and/or from the side so I can see it?

[ThePot]

Well heres some pics.. All one plant in case you missed that. I took a pic with flash in the dark and realized it looked alot more overfed than I thought. Probably all the molasses. Not a huge concern.....should I flush or just chill on the molases?

DAY 20 flower

[SmknVTEC]

Naw no flush. It looks fine. Maybe a tiny bit hot with nutes but no biggy. Do not interrupt its dark period and the dark period should pretty much be pitch black.

[ThePot]

OK cool. I didnt interrupt it I just shut off all the lights for a minute. I threw a tarp over the entrance of the closet which seemed to help alot. And also seems to keep the humidity levels up in the closet, especially in veg.

[ThePot]

Heres some more pics....procrastinating doing school work for a while.

Day 26 Flower, day 68 or so total

I noticed some of the pistils are browning, seemed early to me?? maybe not...check the 2nd pic. other 2 pics are the top of the main cola. pretty sure.....

hopefully the buds will start getting denser soon, I think I'm just gonna stick with water for a while, maybe give it some sort of nutes near the end of november and then hopefully it will be close to flush it for the final 10-14 days. However, as you can see it looks like it has too much N as it is, and my 2 options for feeding are 10-30-20 fert or 4-12-0 bone meal

Anyone? thanks for checkin back in.

[ThePot]

come on people!!
