get some pyrethin oil/spray/bomb....if you get the spray, get the stuff at home depot that says insecticide for fruits and veggies...apply liberally to soil, leaves, whole plant....after covering, shake the plant gently so none accumulates on the leaf tips...hope this helps....outdoor looking GREAT by the way...

It was then that i noticed that the mites were on the plant after all.
I put an oscillating fan directly on the remaining plants to help inhibit the spread and movement of the bugs (wind), and i'll be going out first thing tomorrow to buy some pyrethrum spray. Thankfully, the last 3 pots/plants had no visible bugs on them at all. Hopefully i'll be able to save the day.
Updates tomorrow. Peace!
I haven't done an update in a while so here it goes.
Every thing's looking pretty good. The LR2's are starting to fill out and the others are getting really big. I ended up chopping one of the MK because it was showing male pre-flowers. 3 of the Mangoes are definitely female, and none of the rest have showed anything yet.
Some of the plants are developing some spotting on the leaves, but i didn't see any bugs or any other reasons for the spots, so i'm gonna leave that for now and see if anything has changed in a week or so.

Here are some pics of the female Mango's
Does anyone know if you can take clones for indoor growing from plants that are outside? I was thinking about topping one of the mango's and rooting the top for indoor clones. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
Absolutely... Cloning would be awesome with some mango... and if you do it now it'll have like 3 months before october(1st week of october is about 60-65 days of flowering...i.e Harvestime for most varieties in georgia;)). The lower the cutting is on the plant the faster. But if you want to top them then yes you can root the very tip of the plant. You'll need some flourescent lighting and probably some peat pellets, rooting compound, and a humidome... you can get all of that at homedepot/lowes/Walmart fo under 20bucks.... If you wanna expirement some with it you can make a very cheap,yet effective, aero/hydro cloner out of a plastic tub an airstone and an airpump. Make sure to make it as light proof as you can so algea and mildew don't build up. These are a few pics of some clones and my cloner... which i unforttunately can't use for awhile...Quote:

So i picked the bud off the plant. It wasn't a very big bud and it was at the bottom of the plant so i didn't worry that much.
If anyone has really good pictures of bud mold, please post them so i can see what's up.
Other than that everything was looking great. The LR2's are filling out nicely and should be ready soon. One of the female mangoes is starting to bloom hardcore, but it will end up reverting to vegetative growth when the long summer months actually start.
I should be back soon with pictures, so stay tuned in...
Peace!
So... the LR2's had a good bit of mold on them when i went out the other day, so i picked them. The buds are so small and measly that they almost aren't worth messing with. The lesson i learned here? Plant auto-flowering plants later in the season when the sun is brighter and is up longer. That way they get the best chance possible to mature and grow big and fat. 10 weeks is too long for LR2 to be growing.
The Mango's are blooming a lot. I'm a little worried that they'll be too far along when they decide to revert back to veg and it might hurt them. Who knows.
One Master Kush is definitely a female, but i think the other 3 are males. Bummer, right?
I'll post pics later when i feel like it...
Peace!
bummer on the master id try a clone or two
id be afraid of herming with the mangos and
have u puffed any lr2 yet
I'll prob clone the Kush if possible. The Mango should be ok. It flowers really quickly compared to a lot of strains (6-8 weeks).Quote:

I'll update again when i get a chance.
Peace!
