ok... so last time i had 3 sour deisel and had a horrible harvest... Tried to get a consult from a grower at the dispensary but bleh... so now were going for the perpetual harvest and hope to correct the learning curve for a steady supply of cheap good meds...

3 patients in the house, each with 6 plant, math is really nice on this one... 8-10 week strains (80% i would say) and we can harvest every week and now break the law. so today is week 3 since the start. Currently on the grow is a mass strains, most doing well minus the Lemon Skunk. (Anyone else have slow growth from this one). The First Cheese has 3 weeks and although it was relativly small, has developed nicely and has the first little buds starting to show up the shark with aweek in has nice preflowers, and power plant meets night today.

Still Concerned with the mites from the last grow and so im treating every two days with a cinnamon oil spray and another spray for PM Just in case....

so im trying a few different tecniques one different plants, fimming, lst and topping.... shark is a def candidate for the tying reaching up to the light more and more.... pictures in the necxt few days.. hope someone checks me out and can give me some advise cuz i could use It!

If mites are a problem get general hydroponics AZAMAX. Spray once a week for 3 to 4 weeks mites like cycle will be broken. Only 20 bucks and last for a year or so. Mites can winter over in soil so be carefull not to re-use soil and clean container good.

the problem is that the little buggers only stay in the flower chamber and im kinda scared of spraying the girls.... Did get a No Pest strip a few days ago and the damage seems to have stopped spreading... guess well find out in a few more days.... Will check that out tho thanks!!:thumbsup:

They will be back and in greater numbers. We spray with Azamax right up to 3 days before harvest. Azamax dissapates very quickly and leaves nothing harmfull behind. No one has ever said anything about taste or smell.

ok so ive been busy the last few days and have finally delved into the Hydro side of things... 2 dwc with new clones.

the clones were another story, this whole law change here in CO is really hurting growning patients.... actually took about 6 hours and finally found a few. finally got my nyc Deisel so i think i have my 2 once the rest of the girls get cycled out.

Diesel is one of the most common strains here in Co,... but Yeah, with the new law changes it's hard to get clones.

Keep in touch with the local dispensary's, I've found if they consider you a friend more than a patient, there more open to sharing genetics for your home grow.

My only concern is the size of your tent. I have a 4x4 right now and 5 plants barely fit in there. They are about a foot and a half right now each.
