Well, it's been a few days now, and a lot has happened! We discovered a spider mite problem starting. We tried many different angles, to snuff it out quick. We bought a mini microscope, from Radio Shack (quality), that works surprisingly well. We rubbed the leaves with 70% isopropyl alcohol. That killed all of the live ones... not sure about eggs. Then we grabbed 2 Hotshot Pest Strips. They (as you can see in photo) are placed in-between plants. Those, I believe, are helping. I read a bit about an all-around insecticide, called Sevin. We bought it, and plan to apply right after putting this blog up. The other steps have dramatically affected the mites, but they are some suborn s.o.b's!

We noticed leaf discoloration and the drying up of some parts of our leaves on the Skywalker's. I tried giving them about 400ml/day, and they seem to like it. So, with luck, that's the only problem there!

We put up two wall mount fans. That has made a huge difference with more constant air temp via better circulation. Wish we had those a while ago!

We ran out of the HESI grow nutes, so we picked up Part A&B of the SensiGrow solutions. We're interested to see how that works out. Not exactly joyous at this point with the HESI system. We'll still use it for bloom (cuz we got it), but maybe Sensi will work. Any one used it before?

All of our babies (with the exception of one White Widow we lost weeks ago, and 3 that are stunted right now) are doing great! The Mester Kush were the ones hit by the spider mites, but they are the healthiest! Odd enough, huh? Nothing has made much sense with our first grow, but we've been schooled... pretty throughly thus far!

Here are some pictures:
