The gorilla Glue from FastBuds turned retarded. The apical meristem didn’t exist after the 2nd node and the plant looked horrible. 2 seeds from them and so far it’s been 2 duds. Third is germing now in a paper towel.
Day 45 on the Creme de la Chem Still super healthy. No issues at all besides the lowest two fan leaves are yellowing but that’s normal.
It’s super nice not running anything indoors right now. I’m aiming to be strictly outdoor in the summer just to cut back on electricity cost and to give the gear a break.
Not from what I've seen. They get plenty of light even though it's not 18 hours the sun itself is so much more powerful and can penetrate better than any light. so they get the appropriate DLI. They do tend to get a bit tired and start to look "asleep" just before sundown anyways so they likely get a bit too much sunlight. I decided to run the autos outdoors to avoid having a plant running for 5 months.. It's too humid where I'm at I don't want to flower for ages and get mold. I may try a photo next season just to see how it goes.
I read in a paper on spider mites that planting bush beans is a good natural way to lure them away from your cannabis. The beans will act as a sponge that you can then remove once it is infested. Good to know, I may not be able to stop the tiny infestation on my CDLC since it's nearing the end of it's life but for future grows I'll be taking this approach and monitoring results.

Day 60 on Creme de la Chem Spider mite are no longer trying to make webs on my buds so I have no idea if they’re mostly gone or not but I haven’t seen them and the plant itself shows no signs of issue anywhere. She’s really starting to bulk up now.. It’s been fun watching this grow in the sun.
I still have this bit of anxiety regarding my small spider mite issue. I never let the webs really develop and they never moved on past the one bud site which seems ok to me but I’m not fully convinced they just vanished. Idk.
Would you be interested in joining a private ran site that’s invite only with a bunch of good growers ?
