You need to remove eggs and larvae.
Only one plant having whitefly says that plant may not be happy.
Whitefly swarm sick plants.
The yellow card attracts them like yellow leaf.
Give us some close-ups of Fly-girl
Or, could be the terpenes in that strain do not repel them.
Whatever the cause, no need to slaughter the victim.:D
You can even harvest with spider mites, kinda.
The only reason I'd 86 a daughter would be mold!
That, can hurt you.
Lookin' great otherwise.:greenthumb:

I would use a tobacco "tea" spray. Buy some dip/chewing tobacco and soak in water for awhile and reduce the water some. Rough idea...
hey, thanks weez and southerng. i am going to get those sticky yellow papers soon. but today when i went out, there was not a single white fly to be seen, even when i gave her a little shake, but i'll be keeping a close eye on her for that.
the biggest plant went into flowering the week of August 9th, so i'm guessing that it should be done within the next 3 weeks (plus or minus a week). does this mean i should start flushing her soon? im still giving all the plants nutes in their water everyday, and they have all been loving it.
i havent gotten this far in growing, so any help with when to start feeding with only plain water would be very helpful.
i'll take pictures in a little bit, so another update on the way

Or, could be they jumped her when she was a little stressed, but she's all better now.
Could go on speculating all day, just for gits and shiggles.
As for when to use pure water?
Can't say, I have yet to grow outdoor in the sun.
I'm sure the rules are different and perhaps strain dependent as well.
Southern G. might know.
He'll be around anytime now.

the scent hasn't changed much. still very berry-like; smells very deep purple, if that makes any sense to anyone else but me, lol
o ya, and pictures are on the way, but might take a bit longer. this pot i have right now hits the spot :D
i guess i too, am a bit baked :hippy::hippy:

hey everyone, here's another picture update.
so it is definitely true about what they say with the last 2-3 weeks of harvest putting on the most weight. i was gone this weekend at the Treasure island Music Festival, and when i watered them this morning since not seeing them since friday, i noticed they look way more swollen than when i left them. so another 3 weeks at most for the first plant, and i cant wait to see how much she swells up with these last weeks.
anyone know when i should start watering her with plain water? i want to get the best flavor out of my buds, so do you think i should start in a few days? its also going to be tricky, considering she is next to 2 other plants that will still be taking nutes for about a week longer than her
and the picture update starts.........now.:rastasmoke:
PLANT 1
these first two pictures are of some purple stems i have noticed on my unknown strain.now that i look at it closely, it seems like it could be from the cold temps. at night. on average, we'll hit a low of about 52-55 degrees fahrenheit in the night, so is that cold enough to cause the purple stems? they are only purple on the fan leaf stems, and absolutely nowhere else.
PLANT 2
another unknown. the buds on this plant are very dense, and just keep swelling. one cola is starting to look a little deformed because of how bg it is getting. and still another 3 weeks to go? i cant wait for it to be done! :D
PLANT 3
"the twins" filling in slowly, but surely. finally seeing the trichomes show up now, and the buds are fattening up a bit!
Aloha, GQuote:

Have had them before.
Have a vague recall of reading it was a manganese deficiency.
But, don't quote me.;)
It has not seemed to be a problem, so I've never tried to "fix" it.
With my limited knowledge, I had a better chance of causing problems had I tried.
So,
HEY, STINKY!
Um, Excuse me Ms. Attic, but, is the leaf stem color a problem?
Now, we wait. :D
Weeze
PLANT 4
the biggest. the pictures speak for themselves:hippy::hippy:
but in the last picture, what it is, is me holding the lighter sideways, and the two buds under the main cola still completely eclipse the lighter. :D:D
PLANT 5
this one is about a week or two behind the biggest one. and she has just began really putting on weight, and is shooting new yellow hairs everywhere!
RANDOM BUDS
just random shots from all 6 plants
i hope you all enjoyed this update.

I may not be saying much, but i'm lovin it. Thanks ofr all the updates and pictures. NICE ladies:thumbsup:
Hey gianca, My plant has the same purple patch like color on the stems my temps probably get like 60 to 64 at night is that to low?:stoned:
the low for tonight where i am is 53 , so it might not be from the temps. weeze also said earlier that he has the same purple coloring on the fan leaf stems, but he is only an indoor grower, and his room doesn't go lower than 80.Quote:

The purpling on the stems may be from the strain. I have some purps that have the purple leaf stems. From the same batch of seeds two other plants have all purple stems.
And as for cold turning the plant purple, the leaves get lightly purple at first and gradually darker as it gets colder at night, kinda spotty. I dont think 53 degrees should be turning the leaves purple. I had 44 this morning, and they are definately slowly going purple.
Your buds look great .....
thats what i was thinking. my plants have been through colder temps. than what we are having right now, with no sign of purple on them until now, and absolutely none on the leaves, or anywhere else but the fan leaf stems for that matter. so it must be genetic. thanks for that inbud.Quote:

any advice?

:rastasmoke::weedpoke::rastasmoke::weedpoke:
Dunno, at 15%amber, I'd be nipping off buds.Quote:

i think it would be too early to start clipping her. especially with her last 2 weeks coming up now, shes really been putting on weight lately, so im gunna wait it out. and i want a more couch-lock, stoney high, rather than an up highQuote:

Let it grow...let it grow
hey ari, thanks for stopping by.
thats what i figured, mostly going on how old the plant is. going into week 7, so i figured another 2 weeks or so
so my oldest plant is at about day 46 of flowering, so im guessing another 10-15 days for her before she gets the chop. so would that mean i should start giving her only plain water to flush out all the nutrient buildup or whatever it is that ive read you should get rid of to make the flavor better?
i need help ASAP if possible. with only 15 days to go; aren't you supposed to flush for the last two weeks?
Stinky, can you help me on this one?
here are the two unknown strains
here are the Grape Ape x Northern Lights
pictures as follows:
1: the smallest of the 4. crazy trichome population goin on!
2-4: the biggest of the 4. really thickening up now
5: the second biggest. filling in nicely
enjoy,

looks like the folk's eyes behind that brown fence just missed seeing some serious Botaniporn. I'll bet their noses are a bit luckier.
The aroma from my garden is covering many square feet. In fact i smell it now as i sit typing. God Bud is a finicky plant for me, but stinky as fruity roadkill.
As for the flush, it is personal preference. If you use Chem ferts it is highly recommended. If you are organic it would be sufficient to flush for a week or less if you choose. Not really a set practice from my understanding. I say better flush a bit longer if unsure because those plants still look green enough that they can pull some food from the fan leaves. Hope that helped, or at least made some sense.:jointsmile:
thanks for stopping by again ari,Quote:

im using General Hydroponics FLORA nutes. dont really know much about them (my sister gave em to me a few years back) but im sure they are a chemical nutrient, right?

i picked off a TINY branch that had a little nug on the end. i looked for the smalles nug, that didnt look lik e it was growing much.
i picked all the leaves from it, and my fingers were VERY sticky after that. i tasted my fingers, and they tasted just like Fruity Pebbles
smoked it, and felt a good high for a while. so i cant wait till i get to chop it all down!
You disapeared.....
Hope you are all right.
Fruity Pebbles, been a long long long time since I tasted those. Sounds like you will be harvesting soon. Some of my plants came down this week.
again...
hope you are well.
very very nice, I'll get back to my thread today...
what are you doing about this weekends rain?? I'm stressin with the kids being 15 feet tall I can't easily tarp them??
it is pounding rain here....
hey everyone,
been a while since an update, but will post pictures tomorrow. the biggest plant got chopped 2 days ago, and i have been trimming for 3 full days. today was the first time i took a break, and it was to go buy a sack of herb at the club. i ordered a bubble bag kit today. i got the 1 gallon 8 bag kit, for $140, but they rape you on tax and shipping for a total price of $180. but it will be much worth it, especially with all this sugar leaf im throwing in the freezer at the end of each day!
hey eve, long time no see. i dont know what to do about this rain coming in tomorrow, but i dont think it will do much harm.....hopefully.
thanks for stoppin by inbud, did you do anything to tarp you plants for the rain? should i be worried at all about it? it loos like it will only be raining for 1 day, and probably not a majority of the day either. EDIT: just started raining a bit ago
i'll leave ya'll with a pic or two, until the full update. this is only the first plant.

:rastasmoke::weedpoke::rastasmoke::weedpoke:
Glad your doing well G. I have been checking for updates and have not seen any. This time of year you never know if its busy trimming or if something negative has happened. Hate to be the paranoid one, but....any how what matters is your safe and those herbs look yummy.
I chopped the ones that were too big to tarp today, and tarped the rest. Been raining here most of the day. The buds are real dense and i am worried about water getting stuck inside, especially because they have some time left on the stalk.
I'll update with some photos one of these days.:thumbsup:
buds look great. also U look a lot like my cuzin. for real with the long hair and the beard and the size.
cant wate to se the other bud shots.:D
Glad to hear you are trimmin' and didnt disapear. Takes forever to get that bud trimmed up how i like it. I spent lets see....one plant, twelve hours, one ten, and the the first eight. One didnt get trimmed as close as i wanted, so i am gonna be trimming it up when dry. I was just burned out on trimmin' by then.
YOUR BUDS Look so good. I love a nice long kola like that. I didnt get a long one yet. Most of mine harvested are like eight inches or so, the center bud.
The rain sucks, gonna have to watch for mold.
Glad to see you back.

i noticed those Fiskars trimming shears on your table inbud, and had to go out and get me a pair. and geeze, they work like MAGIC! no pain in my hand, and they are so precise, i dont have to worry about accidently cutting a nug in half, haha.
so im gunna get back to trimming now. im almost done with the first plant, and the next one or two are getting chopped within the next few days i think.
thanks for everyone stopping by. and anyone who was wondering what happened to me, i appreciate you concern, but things couldn't be better.
