First time grow starts tomorrow!
So... it's been a while! And in that time, things have gotten better and worse! We've been topping all of the girls, and they are reacting very well to that! Much denser bushes, with thicker stalks. On the other hand... we have 4 White Widow that are behind. I think it was over watering. The pots were pretty heavy in comparison to the others. So I've been watering them every other day. They have begun to grow steadily. But the worst problem that has plagued our grow is... SPIDER MITES!!! We caught them early and tried multiple methods to take them out. But we had no result! We got the Hot Shot Pest Strips, tried Sevin and another insecticide i can't remember, made a nicotine spray (which included tobacco, garlic and a sliver of soap)... and now, with those little bastards continuing to have a field day on our plants... I'm pulling out, what i've been told is, The Big Guns! We were recommended Mite-Rid. Surprised i hadn't found it myself. But i'm crossing the fingers at this point. What a pain in the ass, spider mites. Well, if all goes well, and it works... it looks like bloom could be only a few days away! OH AND... the nicotine spray damaged our Master Kush. Only the Master Kush, though. Kid of odd. There's a picture showing it, below.

Hey everybody! Sorry, it's been a long time! We've had a few set backs and many steps forward! We had an interesting holiday experience trying to make sure our ladies would be well taken care of while we were back home visiting. Got past that and had some back tracking to do! We did a major flush, due to nutrient burn and the mites were still sucking the shit out of our plants! What a difference that made! We were also using the Mite-rid formula, and applied twice before flush, a week apart, and then once more after flush... and the mites are evicted! What a pain! Little suckers are worse than roaches. Post apocalyptic scenario: Mites rule the world! Anyway, so we decided to switch over to bloom shortly after our flush! Finally!
I am sorry to say that we will not be updating this grow log as regularly as we had been during the grow. We feel a little more secure not broadcasting that information to the world. But we will dump all of the accumulated pictures and info here after we've harvested! Thanks again to everyone that has offered up the opinions and solid guidance! Here are some pictures!
