1st Grow - 4 x Fast Buds Autos (Organic)

The new week started with the discovery of a rather large red spider mite at the base of the Purple Lemonade. Pretty disappointing after the previous weeks endeavors to eliminate all pests. Little did I know that nature had sent me a gift that just loves eating Spider Mites. First thing every morning I check the garden for snakes as I let my dogs out. (among other species in the last 2 years I've removed 7 Monocled Cobras from the property, 4 from actually inside the house. Just lately there is a King Cobra hanging around) anyway, at the back of the house for the first time that I've ever seen there is a sea of Ladybugs, on closer inspection of the long grass where they are sitting there are literally thousands of spider mites and the ladybugs were having a feast. I collected about 50 ladybugs and put them on some poor plants growing outside that I use as guinea pigs to confirm that they don't munch on the plants. After this I collected another 40 and put them in the indoor space where they seem to be quite happy. Since that day I haven't seen a single mite or other pest on the plants. Oddly, I was reading about and thinking of possibly ordering some the night before they suddenly turned up in the garden the following morning. Manifestation or something :) Plants received their first Veg nutes at 1/2 the dose recommended on the bottle in the photo. I'm not sure of the composition of these nutes, they are from the same supplier as my grow mediums and are designed specifically for cannabis, as is the soil I got from them. I will list what's in the soil later. Other than that a pretty good week with some nice growth, did have a short power cut that took out my PC when the power surged upon return. Luckily all electrics in the tent were unaffected.
