Stopped LST completely and removed all the wires.
defoliation is now a daily chore: it is growing to be a jungle in there, impacting light penetration and humidity all over.
And when you start to think that everything went well:TAH DAH!!!!!! signs of mites!
I panicked checkd all pots an, sadly they are affecting every plant. everything has been sterilised with bleach and cinnamon tea/ neem oil has been thoroughly sprayed and poured in every pot.
I am tending to think they are compost mites: thy have not attacked any roots, they only gather on decomposing leaves and rotting stems in the soil. Not a single mite was noticed anywhere but the top soil and nowhere else. that been said: better them dead than me worried. I will continue with cinnamon tea and neem oil spray.
GG4: catching up like a champ and producing a discreet amount of frost and flowers. the stunt seems to be over? her overall shape is of a deep bowl. Many colas acting as outline for its outer rim, and many tiny small colas about half as tall in the middle. They ll all probably will turn into popcorn buds, but at this stage it would be unwise to upset her, just when she seemed to have gained momentum.
@whenindoubtsmokeitout, looks like you got 3 to 4 weeks for sure left from pictures. Go off buds. Very light nitrogen in flowering, more potassium and phosphorus is what gives you buds. Your plant is showing potassium deficiency in leaf tips. Brown and straight is sign. If curls up it is nutrition burn.
@Roberts, thank you! I am mostly concerned about 2 points:
- I am beginning to noticing amber trichomes on the very edges of the smaller sugar leaves (previous damage related decaying?...). The trichomes on the flowers themselves are still mostly clear with few cloudy. As this is my very first take on growing, what rule of thumb should I be following so to harvest (and time my flush) at the right time?
- DO one start flushing upon noticing the right amount of cloudy/amber trichomes ratio, or does one needs to time the flushing so to achieve the wanted results by the end of week 2 of flushing?
@whenindoubtsmokeitout, thanks. I have grown 2 of those strains. Smell should be coming soon. I try to be informative, and basically try to answer any questions prior being asked. I appreciate the support.
