First time Grow room White Widow

[mike024]

aw bro im sorry to hear about your ph problem what happened? what kind of damage did your plants endure? I left a post on your thread of a decent ph tester on ebay. My only problem at the moment is my veg box has spidermites in it and the bug strips that usually work arent doing the trick im afraid im gon have to use some neem oil but once I get rid of them Im moving my veg box upstairs into a more stable climate. were you able to salvage anything from your plants? Dude they looked so good I really feel bad you had problems but thats the best part about plants you can always grow more!!!

First time Grow room White Widow Hello All First Let me say that this Forum has been the most helpful tool Ive ever come across in the year or so Ive been reading up on growing. I happened to come in to five White Widow clones and had no where to put them so they stayed outside for about four weeks with no nutes just in big pots. Built the room and checked for bugs and all was good, so I brought the plants in and they seem to be doing really good for the rough childhood they had. Problem is I think I overfed them too Rating: 5

my plant started to yellow and crisp out of no where...well i wasnt home to catch it happen i was camping but all of the lower leaves pretty much fell off and the tops are still green but starting to change color and since i didnt add over 1/4 nute mix i knew it wasnt that she took nutes no problem everytime before.

im not chopping her yet ill wait until she looks really bad if i was to guess i think there is about a ounce of herb on her which will last me a month so not too bad and the herb i buy is really good and cheap(40.00 1/4oz).

Hey, Mike. How are your plants doing? did you take care of the mites??? Ladybugs are good for them too. I hope you killed them suckers!

Hey TheGreenFog and invision nice to see your still checking up on me. Moving my light has made an amazing improvement to the plants look and growth. I have one that grew almost an inch in two days and the buds are def. beefing up. The mite problem......I dont know I bought three more of the hot shots no pest strips which almost everyone I talk to praises it. I also picked up a bottle of "insecticidal wash" that is basically certain fats and salts that say they kill insects on contact but do not harm plants in the least and can be used up to three days before harvest on edible plants. I used it on one plant to see if it hurts the plant and if not im spraying all plants and letting it sit for a day then moving the whole veg box (4x4x4) up to the same floor as the flowering room. That will make my life a lot easier too and provide a more "bug free zone". I also experimented with LST'ing one of my plants and it worked good so I did a second one and I have a total of three ready to join the flowering room once Im sure theyre bug free. The last thing I want is those damn mites infecting my flowering room too. I have to clean my veg box thoroughly before I put my plants back in it after I move it so its gotta be timed just right. What a pain these mites are!!!! They got me stressin hard. OH well

Ps thanks for sticking with this thread I promise Ill have some more pics up tommorow!!!

glad she is finally making good changes for you and ill tell you now you will hate yourself if you put that veg cab or plants in the flower room id wait until you see no more mites then bomb again 2 weeks into flower to make sure the bastards are gone spidermites are very hardy and very hard to rid of.

[mike024]

hey guys got home and checked the veg box and well shit I dont know how to tell if theres any more or less mites!!! You guys think I should take like a sponge or somethin and wipe the bottoms of the plants off after I sprayed them with that insecticidal soap? I sprayed the rest of the plants seeing as how the first two showed no sign of stress Im out of town til sunday so when I get back will be the test i guess. If all is good I move the box if not,.......I BURN IT lol nah. I still cant beleive how much of a difference just three days of that light being lower has made the flower room is lookin awesome even the little clones I put on the shelf toward the back have doubled in size. Ill try to put up some pics later. Hey GreenFog you still out there somewhere?

[mike024]

Heres some pix from 2nite they are def. responding to the light much better now but one of them is showing yellowing on lower fan leafs looks like more nute burn. Ive been feeding my little clones in the back too and no signs of burn at all. I think it may just be because these five were the ones that veg'd outside. Any input/suggestions would help a lot at this point. Thanks again everyone!!

Your plants are looking good. I wouldn't concern myself too much with some yellow leaves down below. I just plucked a bunch of green healthy leaves off my girls. Looking forward to seeing some updated pics.
