Week 4 completed.
At the start of the week I did another tie down to spread all the branches evenly apart.
Smell is starting to develop but only lightly.
I GOT SPIDER MITES :(
4 days ago I found some spider mites, I took off every single leaf I found them on.
I sprayed the air and area with neem oil as I couldn’t spray my actual flowers.
I keep finding a few every day, and keep on removing the leafs. Very unsure of what else I can do other than keep spraying my neem oil. Any ideas ?
Also, please see my last 2 pictures. Those pointy ball looking things - is my plant a Hermaphrodite ?
There all over the plant below other buds, but they have hairs coming out of them, and definitely pointy so I’m unsure if they are pollen sacks or not ??
Thanks for looking, some help would be awesome 😃
Other than that, I think things are progressing well.
Those are not hermie features, they are calyxes. It sucks you got spider mites mid flower, you can still try spraying an IPM solution, but it can affect taste. You can also try predator mites. Good luck my friend!

@johdlong, great thanks man that’s good to hear 😅 was getting a little worried.
And yes I’ve read lots about sprays but I really don’t want to effect the taste. I was thinking of maybe getting some ladybugs, a few mites just keep seeming to pop up everyday
Nice training!
I have a question... What do you top your soil with? It almost looks like a coarse sand or clay & why?
I love looking at the variety of grow ideas, both watching & learning new techniques.
@Joshgrowsweed, I had gnats one time (accidently brought them in from outdoor leaf mulch) I put diatomaceous earth fully dusted on the top layer of dry soil & they were gone. I got it on Amazon (Harris Diatomaceous Earth $12.99)
@cheetah844,
Hey, thank you !
It’s a mix of sand and other things not sure exactly what. First time I’ve used it, it’s a ‘gnat barrier’
Saw it randomly at my local hardware store and figured I’d give it a try.
Definitely does something but didn’t Solve my problems that’s for sure.
I think next time I’ll just use a layer of small rocks/pebbles.
Beauty grow brotha and good choice on nutrients ( that's my second fav of all line since ever tried .. . Simple and effective and good and clean .. you did amazing training her !!good work
It was amazing what you did! For the first time it's great!!! Even for a old grower.
How was the drying process and curing?
Ps. You did put 110g WET, change to dry.
@Psilocubensis,
Oh cheers I’ll change that.
And thank you so much !
Cured them for 3 weeks, drying it was a bit difficult because of high temps and humidity.
But I just had a proper drying rack and lots of airflow. Had to brake down the buds into little nugs too, sucks I couldn’t leave them as big as that photo
