Disaster struck this week. In fact, I thought my plant was going to die, hence delaying the weekly diary progress.
D21: I spotted these fucking spider mites on the leaves of my plant. I freaked out and doused Mishka with semi-hot tapwater (~50 degC) as well as huge amounts of hydrogen peroxide for the next 3 days.
D22: I noticed white spots on the leaves which I mis-diagnosed as spider mite bites, hence continuing the hydrogen peroxide treatment.
D23: I'm not sure, but the whitening turned to browning and the leaf trips turned brown as well, including the newer baby ones! I'm freaking out here.
D25: I realize there's no spider mites in sight and looking online, the browning tips indicated Calcium deficiency. I immediately order Cal-Max by Grotek which takes a few days to get to me. It's here with me now on D28....
D26-28: What can I say, the browning hasn't worsened, so that's good news I guess. I mixed in some powderized eggshells at the top soil, but they don't seem to be decomposing well. Ahh well, might as well wait for the Cal-Max.
Lesson learned: Never pour hot water and hydrogen peroxide over your plants. I ordered Neem oil just in case, but the freaking out might have really damaged my plants from the pictures you can see. :(
Let's hope the Cal-Max treatment helps her recover next week. I was planning to start Flowering next week but I'll let her veg-recover for a week and start flowering on Week 5.
@Ganjafarmer420flowers, I'm the same so far. This site has helped a lot! I'm getting inspired by strains, methods and pretty much everything to do with growing! I have to admit, I thought this would be a hobby, but I really see it as a lifestyle at this point! Growing is a lot of fun, seeing the change in your plants literally everyday.
@tislam95,no I can't see it causing you any issue as long there is plenty of soil I gather the roots will only grow to what they have available. Like I say I'm a novice like you just keep reading reading reading and having a play
@Ganjafarmer420flowers, I wanted to see how far General Hydroponics only would take me. I'll start using CalMag in my second set of grows (in a month or so).
Please consider getting a dehumidifier now to keep running just outside of the tent. this is a very risky humidity level! Keep high air flow too do not go easy on the air flow esp now until u can release some humidity. This is dangerously high for mold/rot! 🙏 Good luck ! 👍
@exclusiveX420, Really good advice mate! I didn't think the humidity would naturally stay in the high 90s. I don't know why I even bothered buying a humidifier!
I have ordered a Humidifier (the TaoTronics one on Amazon) for the next grow!
@Smokin_Joe, I usually take the daily picture after watering. So that's why most of the pictures show the plants being wet. I've maintained humidity between 40-60%. Usually at the lower 40s, as I don't want an algae infestation and pests.
