Will probably harvest this soon. Hate to do it some bud pistols still white, but the big change from last week si the stems getting much more purple and the leaves starting to turn yellow. Also a lot of the bud pistols have changed from white to amber.
There are very tiny red/orange specs that I've noticed in some of the buds that I can only see with a 10x jewelers loop. They don't seem to be moving though and I don't think spider mites are that small, so who knows what they could be. Guess I'll just end up smoking them!
I caught about 10 ladybugs in my yard and released them on top of the plant, just in case, so the ladybugs can eat them if they are some type of aphid or spider mite.
In good news, I got a grow tent this week, which should help a lot with my NEXT grow: specifically with preventing insect and bud rot issues in the future which I haven't seemed to escape yet. More good news is that this should be a solid harvest since this is the only plant out of the 7 that I grew simultaneously that did NOT get bud rot. At least I don't think so; will be able to find out for sure after harvesting, I suppose. It's a good problem to have that I can't even see the middle of this plant because it is so bushy!
