Nute burn? Pictures/troubleshoot included

[headshake]

when is the last time the plant had a flush? you can transplant, but if the plant hasn't been flushed in a while i would flush first, let dry out, then transplant. i would go from a 1 to a 5 to a 10. 1 to 10 is a big jump.

how long do the ladies in flower have?

First I want to say thank you for everyones help...it is greatly appreciated!

The plants have never been flushed, other than watering till it comes out the bottom. Is one gallon of water enough to flush a one gallon pot? I will flush first, then transplant into the 5 gallon pots.

The ladies in flower are a whole different issue...spider mites took over fast and hard! They are under control know, however I am considering the death penalty for one or both of them. Of the two flowering ladies, one is ready to be harvested, planned on doing that tomorrow. The other lady probably should go another 2 weeks, but the mites really did some damage. There really isnt anymore "green" left, except for the SMALL buds. I dont know if she is salvagable at this point! What is the deal with buds that have been attacked by mites? Will it affect the smokeability? It seems like a bad idea to smoke dead bugs! Anyways...I think the flower room should be ready for new occupants before the end of November...I want to bomb the tent, garage, and surrounding areas first!

Thanks again,

you need to flush with 3 times the amount of water of your container size.

you can always make hash out of the destroyed lady.

do you have a good recipe/method of making hash? I suppose I need to harvest, and dry the buggy lady just like any healthy plant correct? I have googled ways to make hash but there are soooo many different ways. I trust you probably can lead me in the right direction.

Thanks for everything...

well you can use the bubblebag method, but you need the bags. or you can dry screen it, but you need the screen. if you go with the screen method you want a 120 micron screen. you can find them at art supply/pottery stores. the bags are a big expensive, but you can find them on ebay for much cheaper.

let me know which way you decided to go, and i can advise further.

you are welcome for the help.

think im gonna try the screen method...not sure I want to invest in bubblebags yet. I would like to rig up some sort of electric motor to agitate the screen and make the process a easier.

Well, Id like to put these girls into flower already, but I want to get this problem fixed first. The temps around these parts have dropped and I have been doing my best not to let them drop below 65. These girls were brought home and put into soil on 10/09/10. After the last post, I flushed, let dry, then transplanted into 5 gallon containers. I also cut my nute strength back almost 3/4.

Something I noticed is that the new growth tips turn light yellow/burnt pretty quickly.

PIX 1&2 ARE SSSDH, PIX 3-5 ARE NYC DEISLE

if you hang them for a week or more mites will tend to crawl up of the plant. its not 100%, however if you knew what crawls on you at sleepy time youd probably shit yourself. i hung from a white string on a bathroom towel rack once and ill be damned the little bastards were making their way up and on to the rack...true story.

also keep your room cooler if you can, this slows their reproductive rates. try maxicrop seaweed extract they tend to dislike that and also slows them down. if you have the $$ buy predator mites, most of the cost is i shipping though. ask questions b4 you buy as predator mites are temp sensitive. certain ones in different climates will get you better results. you may need a variety of p mites to achieve a natural goal and when they are done with mites and their eggs they die off...problem solved.

spider mites are no longer an issue...these girls are in a different area and have not been attacked. I have since bombed the tent, house, and garage with a pyrethrim based bomb. I have also sparayed the entire perimeter of my home and garage with Malithion. Also, the temps in these parts have been in the low 20's at night, so I doubt that mites will be a big problem from here forward.
