My Second Rubbermaid Grow-CFL's, DWC, Scrog

[live2last]

So after doin some research on the hot shots, i decided not to do it(even though i got one) because for one, the outbreak isnt that bad, they havent webbed once and i do a through 20 minute search each night checking under leaves. And for two, that dichlorvos seems pretty nasty especially with my closet being two feet from my whole room. Also im worried about doing it so far into 12/12 :wtf:

Also, the buds are finally starting to appear. This plant has grown way different then my last one. She stretched, then budded a little, then kept stretching and now things are starting to open up...im 2 months into flowering, is it this normal for it to finally start happening? How long do you think i have left? cuz to me it seems like its gonna be atleast 3 more weeks, so a 3 month flower total :O Mamas not gonna be happy if it keeps going but im pretty sure i can hold her off hopefully

So any feedback would be awesome, shes been puzzlin me lately :wtf:

Nice scrog.

Do you have more info on your strain? Do you know how long its supposed to take?

If you are way over your time or think you will be, then it was probably because of the mites. They are so tiny yet can be devistating. How long has it been since you noticed?
I would guess that they came with the clone and have been hurting it since day 1.

The armageddon I know take 8-10 weeks... Looking at your buds and considering the time that has passed... Seems like your yield has really suffered from those bugs. The plant might also take longer to mature since its under stress from the bugs. I lost one of my first indoor grows of 4 plants to red mites. Mites are evil and do incredible damage to your plants. Soapy water wont work...


Also flowering times can get up to 3 months and even longer on some sativas.

Check out Dr Grinspoon (100+days) or Oldtimers haze which has an incredible 16-24 week flower time!

Yea its most definately from the clone, the friend's friend who i got it from didnt say there were mites intially but there defiately was. Do you think that them just hangin out on a couple leaves would hold her back this much? i mean i dont thinki ive ever seen more then 3 mites on a leave and no more then 5 discovered infected leaves which i remove if theres alot of eggs on. Also he said he flowered for two and a half months with a much bigger light so maybe it will be that long, either way im makin progress haha

thanks for the help guys, ill post some more pics tonight or tomorroww

gah back to school :'(

Thats awesome man, where can I get one of those blue racks from? Does walmart sell them? I must try this, What is that bigger box you are using?

[live2last]

the blue rack is one of those locker shelves, probably available in the school section. Persobally i would have liked a few more slots but i dont know how many more i could have gotten out of this box, but it would definately work if you throw it into flower sooner, possibly 2-3 weeks of veg. And the bigger box i got from walmart, i think its 22 gallons but not positive, just look for one that you think will work and get the next size bigger if possible. no such thing as to much space.

good luck man

well boys im sorry i havent updated this thing in a long while. Unfortunately i wasnt to proud with the turn out of my crop but i learned from my mistakes and will start another one sooner or later. My first mistake was letting it veg for a month after i got it. If you are short on room then switch to 12/12 asap. My second mistake was that i didnt use all new bulbs and i think the lack of lumens really hindered the production.

Learn from my mistakes guys and if you have any questions on any of the other set up or process ask away. I really do believe that this could have been a bomb ass cfl grow had i not made those two costly mistakes, and having mites didnt help a GOD DAMN BIT. Fuck those little bastards, the next clone i get wont be from a friend because i dont want to have to deal with them again.

Best of luck guys!
