I'm sure you killed them. Now wait a week and spray again to kill any hatched eggs. You'll be fine.
Beautiful garden:thumbsup:
I've never grown inside and was wondering if the xtra water that drips out of the bottom of the pots ever give you mold/mildew trouble?
Pictures tomorrow. lots of LST being done, but just about out of room.
Plants have almost doubled in 2 weeks....:D looks like I am going to have start flower on the blue dream at 30 days....hold the black berry kush back 2 more weeks in the veg area ( well new smaller area) and then open up the whole room to 12 /12 and let these babys just blow up. The one huge Afgoo has 32 colas on it and they are going to be awesome. most of the other plants have 20 to 30 colas....except the green crack....with the LST I did through our all the veg cycle....It's hard to count how many there are going to be....but I will have some excellent pictures of those two plants tomorrow.
Has not so far, but I try and not over water, when the water drips out I set up a fan on the floor to dry it quickly + I have some old towels...I also have a mold spray that I use quickly if I see any forming on the floor.Quote:

set up the dehumidifier over a drain, like in the sink (drill a hole in the dehumidifier reservoir if you have to) and just let it drain.Quote:

Going to take some pictures...and get them uploaded sometime this weekend
hey man, well done so far on your plants :thumbsup: i love your clean setup and i can see you paid a big price for your equipment but it will come back to you in the end. i wanna see how that co2 treats them :rastasmoke: goodstuff!!!

I am out of room.....I have readjust the whole room, cut flower room to about a third of the size...bring in the blue dream into flower and move the other plants apart....they are huge and with the LST bending the centers are filling nicely

This Affgoo has 36 colas forming and the side lighting is working excellent.

Last picture of day 15 are the teens....they are going to be Harvest C in my perpetural grow....Purple Dragon, Ny Diesel, Kypronite, 2 OG Kush, 2 Green Crack
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...omday15001.jpg
Had some small break out of mites again....took all the affected teens out of the grow room....got a commerical sprayer....some organic...mite killer...safe for consumption...and sprayed the crap of them basically flat as a pancake...both sides of them....let them dryout and put them back in the veg room.....I know for a fact that thing works.
Anyone's mouth watering as of yet?????
I am pretty happy with the grow right now, but lots of work this weekend.
6 weeks till harvest:thumbsup:
Your plants look great. Too bad about the bug situation. With that crowded of a grow room, getting rid of them is going to be a long-term battle. Keep up the good work! :)
they are not in any of the flower area or the large blue dreams, I believe they can in on a clone two weeks ago...last week I killed them and the eggs hatch out....today I killed them again.....hopefully one more spraying and I got them....I am moving all the plants and spreading out the flower plants to allow them to get more bushy.....
Also....I am so obsessed with killing them....I use a micron and look for them prior to them being seen with the naked eye...these breakouts are usually pretty small....but I check them every day....in the places I know where an outbreak would occur.
But even with that ....you could be right.....
Anyone who gets clones for their grow should dip them in mite spray once a week for three straight weeks.....I did not do this...I just sprayed them...and that was not enough.
thanks for the imput
Firday afternoon...they were in both rooms:wtf:......what a bummer....:wtf:
Almost cried....when I saw it. with everything so tight...it was bound to happen.
Went down to the grow shop first thing sat.....talked to some very experienced indoor growers....got three types of organic spray...three step process....Treaded every plant....jsut blasted them with that new indoor electric fogger....that thing has some power....WOW....check them...saturday evening...and all of the are dead....next step is monday with the next stuff...it kills eggs....last step is wednesday...all three together....Like Urban Grower REMO....in his video.
Re-organized the whole grow room and created a veg room in another area...
Pulled in 12 blue dream, 1 grandaddy purple, and 2 Black Berry Kush in the flower room and expanded. I now have 6 1000 watts and the flowering is going great. Pictures to follow.
I feel preety good about all the progress this weekend.
Have battled the mites all week. there are really knocked back, and I did a very small spray on the plants that have only flowered for 7 days and set off a bug bomb in the new veg area. The flower area with the 21 day plants seems to have little to no mites, as I have been very agressive in all the growing areas. I have a no pest strip which is helping. The lesson I have learned is no matter who you get clones from....prepare a 1 gallon bucket of spray and dip everone of them every three days for 9 days....I know those mites came from clones.:wtf:
Now....the update....my girls are looking very nice.....huge colas are starting to form on every plant in the 21 day cycle....I started another batch and they are at 7 days now blue dream, grand daddy purple, Black Berry kush. Took down the wall and opened up the room to pure flower now 6 1000 watts of HPS going....got my carbon filter finally hooked up to the can fan and it's 1700 cfs...fan comes on every 15 minutes and stays on for 15 minutes, the minute is shuts off the CO2 comes on for 15 minutes....the Air conditioner is set a 80 degrees and the dehumidfier is running full time.
M new veg area....is now 50" X 96" and pretty easy to close off from the flower area....it's very crowded....and I know I really got ahead of myself on this perpetural grow thing. There are 15 plants in 15 gal pots in there right now that will be ready to flower in 2 weeks, but I have no room in the flower room for 5 more weeks:jointsmile:...so....I will just try and make the best of it and see what happens. The teens are growing excellent, removed some slow growing clones and replaced them with some Romalian cuttings I got from a good friend...
Pictures to follow....
Marijuana is a beautiful plant....but it takes, care, love, dilligience, persestance, to grow...the colas are going to be excellent.:rasta:
It would be helpful for me to get some feed back from all of you....It makes it easier to keep up with the log if I know people are reading it.
Funny thing....I have read nearly every post about mites all the way back to 2005 on this site....without comments...this site would not be nearly as good as it is.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21003.jpg
got a 1000 watt MH in there pretty over kill....I am sure a 600 would be plenty:jointsmile:
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21020.jpg
Starting so see some buds....I sure these colas fill out to 2 handers:hippy:
Purple Berry Kush is looking good
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21016.jpg
Afgoo is huge and buds are starting to fill in
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21014.jpg
You know I really like the way the Purple Kush / Blue Berry Kush hybrid (Purple Berry kush) grows.....it is pretty mite resistent and it grows excellent
all of them are going to have 20 to 30 colas on them.
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21012.jpg
I may of missed up here this morning as these Blue Dream are getting huge and I started topping them again....but I forgot they are now in Flower.....:mad:......it's like DAM....what the heck are yoy doing....Oh well it will just take them a little longer on the flower time.
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21010.jpg
This is a green crack (Dream Queen) and It was very heavly LST and FIM..
this thing is so bushy it is very hard to kill any mites when they get on it.
I am mite free on both of my Green Crack now....Lots of buds....everywhere
just waiting for them to start exploding...like the other plants.
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21009.jpg
looking for a 2 hander here in 5 more weeks:pimp:
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21008.jpg
Last one Afgoo bud....they are really starting to smell
I am so glad I got some help to hook up the huge carbon filter ( it very heavy at about 80 pounds) and it runs every 15 minutes....as they is no smell problem at all right now.
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/day21007.jpg
due to my lack of growing knowledge (which i am trying to expand myself) i havent commented on much but i have some very very knowledgeable friends that i can ask any questions you have.
please, keep up the good work and the posts. its looking great and i like to see the progress. If you could include crop A, or B or whichever crop is in each picture it would be a lot of help. Otherwise its looking great and im glad youre on top of the mites. If they were my plants the mites would have eaten them by now lol.
Keep posting and keep up the good work, its really nice watching the process and trying to learn from it.
Just got back from the lake this weekend and checked on the grow room...
it's strange you check on your plants twice a day for almost 90 days and then go 2 1/2 without and it feels strange....I watered them very heavy prior to leaving and they are fine and have really shot up and the buds have filled in nicely. Had another small outbreak of mites in the Veg area and I just bombed it...have to wait 2 hours prior to going in the water. Also had another ballast go out....brand new...I am going to ship it back to them for a replacement....very strange...luckly I had a spare, so no harm to foul. power bill is $600 a month:mad:but these buds are looking just awesome:pimp:
Had another teen (GDP) Grand Daddy Purple die on me again...that makes 9 our of 18 have died....they were F...up clones when I got them and I should of never purchased them....Live and Learn...just got my cloner...now I will be able to remove the mite problem fully, by providing my own clones from mother plants I will set aside. Never had a problem with mites until those clones were brought into the grow room.
Thanks everyone.....keep posting....it helps me....to keep posting.
i am growing a grand daddy purp clone and a purple dragon seed i was wondering if u had any segestions or tips about growing these strains and alson what should be my expectations for these strains. first time grower looking for some input
Fine grow log you have going here, Weed. :thumbsup:
The mites are a pain in the ass, huh? I had them show up once or twice but didn't have much trouble knocking them out. Like you did, kill 'em then bomb the rooms.
Sho
Grand daddy purple is more of an indicia plant...short and bushy...excellent for growing inside....Purple Dragon....more of a sativia...tall and lankey...I would top that purple dragon right from the get go and keep it short and bushy, because when you switch to 12/12 that thing will blow up and double in size in 10 days, I would super crop it, LST it, and FIM it. I made the mistake of not doing that with the blue dream plants and if you go look at the picures in the grow log those plants are HUGE...and they are in day 10 of flower...I can not top or FIM them, so I am super cropping some and LST some to see what is more effective.Quote:

Both will be great producers, but you need to treat them differently and they will grow very different.
Thanks.....the mites....are just about gone...they are not on any of my budding plants....but they love those blue dream plants, and in the veg area they love the purple dragon, grand daddy purple, and black berry kush. Bug bombs work excellent in there as it is very easy to control. I am hand spraying the blue dreams, and twice a day checking to big budding plants....nothing so far, and they will only get sprayed with organic stuff if necessory. I am not doing anything to those plants as they are starting to get nice sticky buds....and the SMELL.....WOW I just love that smell.....It reminds me of the old days....that first bag of weed...you opened...in high school.....the Santa Cruz....bud....or Bonny Dune Bud......just a killer smell...Quote:

Everyone has to know what I mean.....SMELL.....yummy...:rastasmoke:
Subscribing.
BTW was a pleasure to talk to you on the phone today! I hope I answered some of your questions!
Looks like Weed daddy is going to add some LED lights to the grow room.:)
Not sure where to start, but I am not going to go the China...junk stuff.
Looks like I may start with 4 and see out it goes.....;)
I will let you know.....
BTW Saturday will be week 4 and for everyone looking for pictures....the buds are really getting big.....I may take some preview pictures tomorrow...I see the start of a few two handers....yeh baby... and with 4 weeks to go
I am being very careful with my ladies. What I need them to do is get some huge DDD's on them....you know like 44 DDD on about half the colas...:stoned:.....hey a guy can dream can't he.
The veg plants are just exploding and the Black Berry Kush in 15 gal pots need to be moved into flower.....but no room....when they get moved they will have veged for 60 days....WOW....That is going to be crop C
Crop B the Blue Dream....are 10 days into flower and small pistals are showing have to super crop some of the tall branches...they wer like 5 feet tall and were going to explode to 7 feet...if I was not careful.
The mites....are just about gone...I hav ebeen very dilligent about my inspection of the plants on a daily basis. Only using organic spray in a very limited basis on the blue dreams and there are no mites on the crop A plants :)
For everyone enjoying my grow log....Growing is my passion....it's very enjoyable, but takes lots of work....I encourge anyone with questions about indoor growing to keep reading canibas.com.....anything you need to know is on this website.
seeing and hearing about the grow is really inspiring. I can't wait til i have money to start my own (most likely small) grow. keep up the good work. cant wait to hear about how the LEDs go. I dont really want to use anything but LEDs
