Our dear "Chris" has succumb to the Spider Mite infestation we were trying to vanquish. I've pulled her and 2 others from the tent they were all in flower. I'm thinking of drowning them all and then toasting them up and maybe making tinctures or extracts. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Sad sad days, but multiple lessons learned. Hopefully this was my first and only attack/infestation.
"Chris" succumb to the Spider Mite infestation the tent had. We did all we could to prevent the spread, but our attempts were futile. She was a strong grower, multiple bud sites and would have certainly stacked those colas. Alas, she wasn't able to withstand our mite attack/ nor our "anti-mite" counter attacks.
I will grow her again.
I suppose I'll try to toast her up and make some extracts or tinctures with. Anyone have suggestions, I'm open.
