bout 1 month in half or shorter but having troubles with bugs mites i think what do u recommend never had bugs b4 HELP me what do u think

Mites suck! try and find no pest strips, or pick up some neem oil, or end all. In the mean time if you don't have a humidity problem use some soapy water in a squirt bottle and blast those fuckers off, the next day use R/O water to rinse off the soap. Good luck!
I'll be giving a full uppdate today and let you know how my harvest has started, and how my next grow is planned, not to mention the ladies and girls I have growing now.

Ok So I'm looking at the Afghani stumps left in the flower room and they are picking up nicely, but they are still a little immature even though they are bulking out. So I think maybe one more week, giving the bottom 2 extra weeks. As for the yeild so far Foxy gave me 12g from the tops, Jenny gave me 17g and Casey gave me 19g. This is just the tops mind you the rest will be added later but the total so far is 48g. I would post pics but they aren't to great,
the Northerns you'll see alot more. They are getting chubby. If you look back you'll see the pics of the "elongated" skinny tips of the bud, well I cut those off because where it grew skinny it stayed skinny so the top is growing stunted like a little pompom at the top. I just chopped the little nubs off. Turns out they weren't caused by the heat, they were caused by the Boron Deficiency. Anyways since treated the Northens are getting chunky, I know I'm getting more than a once off of each plant.
H is pressing me to chop them all down but I'm holding out. I think the Northerns need 2-3 weeks more til I chop the tops off, I might do the whole plant at once with those since they are lanky and light penetrates pretty well. And the afghanis need at least one more week. So I'm looking at 3-4 more weeks till the flower room is free. If I didn't have mites to irradicate I could move other plants in once the Afghanis are out and use the space and light.
So this presents me with a problems because my vegging plants are ready now. Also I notice that the Afghanis buds are stretched because the lights have to be so high for the Northerns. So now I will grow one strain at a time. So I know what I want in a plant to go in so I can keep bush control this time, and my plants won't make it with out getting out of control before I move them to the flower room, not to metion 2 of my plants are deciding to be jackasses and started growing 1 bladed leaves, and leaves that look like crippled bat wings. So my solution. Clone a whole new batch from 2 Northerns and try to speed the cloning process by taking better care of these plants and transplanting them up every chance I get and topping asap. I took much bigger clones this time since I had 11 Tops that were available to be cloned which I took.
So the plan was to get rid of the vegging plants and only use the clones. But now I screwed myself because Topped the Northerns are under control and easy to control hopefully. Well the untouched Aghanis are gettin a nice leg up that could equal the feild. So if I let the Northers bush out a little and get bigger pots for all the plants. So I put 5 big plants in the flower room that could be managable, and in the meantime these nice clones get 2 months to be grown to perfection.

Now I'm thinking to much. I need to use this free time to take care of my plants instead of over analyzing them.

If I get the chance I'll find you some pics.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit, Happy smoking

Oh shit I forgot to tell you about the final product, pretty potent, very relaxing, better than normal shit for this area, but I think I could have waited another week. That's it I'm done...
Peace

Wow Chrissy! That must be a great feeling to be growing better smoke than you could get normally!
I overthink things too. And some things I don't think through enough. You're doing great though, off to a much better start than I am. You've actually got a yield that's worth talking about. Keep it up!

[canuck grower]

Congrats on your first buds harvested! There's nothing wrong with thinking things through or writing it all down here. It's gotten you pretty far and it sounds like you have everything figure out pretty well! :thumbsup:

I'm going to do one strain for a while too. Just have one mother and do an 8-12 plant SOG. Once I have more space and know what I'm doing then I'll try some other things and maybe have more than one strain going.

Try and get some damn pics up soon though woman!

Won't let me post pics. Oh did I tell you I have it all figured out now?
I chop the rest of the Afghanis this sunday like I planned. I get no pest strips
for the flower room, then move the plants I have now into the free space while the northerns finish up. Gotta Go, I'll finish this later...

[Tomthehippie]

Wow busy busy busy.

The Afghanis brought in 145gram between the 3 of them
Casey 52g
Jenny 49g
And Foxy 44g

The northerns tops are drying while the bottom get an extra week. Our largest bud came to 62g of wet bud, Can't wait to see when it drys.

Got a no pest strip finally and the next round of plants is in the flower room while another 11 clones are working on roots.

No time for taking pics so I have none to post.

This thread is getting hard to find time for. I will be back to fill you in on the Northerns but I think after that this thread will be done. If I start a new thread I'll move it to the grow log forum so keep your eyes open because after June Chrissy is cut off from the web and flying solo.

Thank you for spending some time in my grow room, and feel free to stop in and ask how things are going even if this thread seems dead I'll be watching.
