One evening leaves were rolling, till the morning there were dried brown spots. Two much water or nutrient in the soil i supposed, so changed soil to non-nutrient type. Did have to water them the whole week. Hope know growing starts again.
Growing, new branches without topping. Small one gets less water, once a weak. PH was above 7 😱. Have to control also the water to get it sub 7. Change soil next week
Growing 5cm per week. More branches, soil changed to cactus🌵. With used coffee powder as carbon blocker. Little Spider joined defense Team. Leaves are well, but the non soil changed still has some signs, perhaps too much nutrients. Removed some leaves for better light and more energy to the branches.
First topping to critical. More toppings on the unknown haze. Leaves are larger than my hand ✋. Killed other unknown haze. They drink a lot on sunny days. Half litre, but soil is dry in the evening. Days without sun they get only 0,125ml.
First hair sure the haze is feminine.
3,5l water in 7 days per drop system. Large one now gets 250ml per day plus some extra water as needed.
4 spoons apple vinegar for 4l of water.
Critical 15cm growth. Signs of missing nutrients or harmfull animals? Repotting needed. This will also give some plant food.
Haze is well. 10cm growth and more solid branches. 250ml per day is too less, causing leaves go down, but up in the nights.
Started Christmas tree phase, bending branches with weights.
Bending branches after topping. Soil changed and larger pots. 300ml with 1/6 minimal cap mark of compo grow nutrients each 3 days. All plants were showing deficites. No more overwater signs. More solid branches.
Fungus Gnats Alarm. Dying leaves of over watering and now root harming animals. Nicotine tea to kill em all. See effect after first: let it dry, then tea sprayed until top was humid. Now the "Sand" isnt moving anymore. Need LST clips. The tall one needs repot and re-lean, as it likes to tumble.
Growing higher and wider. But got these marks in my leaves. No sun this week. Bug rave is still active or starting again. Another neem oil warfare? It made them not moving anymore, but some still survived and spread again. Who are these bugs? They dont like sun bathing and tend to stay in the humid area of the soil and underground. Added macro picture of the bugs or mites.
I cant tell from the picture but probably some kind of soil mite, I use Athena IPM and do soil drenches but that stuffs like 50 bucks, it smells amazing. If i dont have Athena IPM i use a mix of Hydrogen Peroxide and water, theres charts online on the portions i think its 3:1 but hydrogen peroxide is a good bug killer.
Its hard to focus on them as the pic is bury and does not show the subject in detail but they do not look like springtails from the shape they are displaying. They look a lot like they are teardrop shaped and that is similar to aphids and mites. Not say they are that but that's the common body structure they share. some soil mites are not invasive or a pest.
Like Mrs.Larimar said Neem has its usage and I think its better topically vs as a soil drench. You could try using some BTi or Nematodes, they are opportunistic killers of some soil dwelling bugs, mostly Gnats and thrips but can also work on a few other pests and I have treated springtails before with them. It would be best to identify the pest first though. HD images of them and note any markings or colours. very basic, 6 legs insect/bug, 8 legs mite. different kill methods for taking care of that after identification.
If you plants are looking healthy then its nothing to sweat. If they looking sickly its time to nuke em.
Good Luck!
Hello norotobartoberto,
These bugs are springtails and harmless for your plant. But if you decide to get rid of them then you can spray cider vinegar on the springtails. This type of vinegar is highly acidic and will quickly burn and kill springtails.
Happy Growing! 💚
Loosing many leaves. Fungus Gnats is back, now fighting with nematodes. Got massive amount of brown animals around where trunks leave the main trunk. As everything seems weak, i removed all low stress clips etc. If they were not falling down without interaction. Whilst loosing older leaves, i starts growing new branches in lower knots.
Flowering is starting, Critical has problems, Haze also, but recovered faster. If root rot or fungus Gnats, both are harming.
Put critical into new tent and lamp. Haze will stay at the window.
Buds are growing on the Haze. Critical is still suffering. Changed pot and some soil. Seems also ventilation system killed fungus Gnats and filters prevent entrance of new ones.
Scrogging one plant in the tent. Buds are growing, but slow, due to their root and fungus gnat problem. But health is coming back again, as green is darkening and the rate of yellow leaves is stopped.
Lights are at 55% / 300W.
Haze is fine, buds are growing and fattening. First brown hair. Cutting some lower, weak branches, hanging the main branches to support more bud wheight 😀. But critical is still suffering but above critical. Reduced airflow to its top, leaves didnt like it. Stay with 60% light. She drinks much less than outside the tent.
Haze does its job. Crazy buds all over, first brown hairs appeared. Hope for some more sunny and less humid days. First leaves getting yellow and can be easily picked. Some more weeks to go.
But Critical is critical again. Switched this week to tap water but filtered to reduce lime so nothing really changed, but: the yellow leaves are all hanging down, all signs of over and underwatering, nutrient problems. 4 weeks no problem with even more light and more blowing wind, but now they seem to dye before producing little more bigger buds.
Critical:
Noticed very low ec-values with my critical critical. So i doubled nutrients per litre.
I hope this gonna help, as it has not been too much nutrients, which caused the plants problems.
Smell is back after giving more nutrients.
Haze is doing well, just some more weeks to get more brown hair. 2 Days of sun gives extreme smell for the whole appartment.
Critical with decalcified water, Haze with vinegar to drop PH.
Both: Cut out all small buds with too long branches, to put more energy in the upper and bigger buds. Removing (partly) yellow leaves to get more air between the buds.
Moved down scrog net to equalize distance to the lights for the gorilla auto in the same grow tent.
Critical does nothing. Eat all nutrients but does not drink its water.
Installed more air from bottom to top. Need to reduce humidity...
Haze 🐰 is top, cut some test buds but still needs some time.
Critical got more and more cut out for more air circulation between the leaves, but it is not really changing the critical state. Thinking about cutting it down to make butter, as the bud/leave relation is not so optimal.
Haze is ready to harvest so going to flush. The sun exposed side is ready, the other side needs 1-2 weeks. So will cut in steps. Yet cut the mini trunks and their buds to get all the energy to the bigger main buds.
Ready to harvest, but in steps, as some branches are getting over, others need some more days to get its THC peak.
Growing was a lot of fun, a total monster, getting along with my errors, had to fight to keep it low and small enough for my window.
Real big buds for only sun light.
Taste is wonderfull with a scent of vanilla.
Potency is over all expected.
Hope drying and curing is going also well.
Got some serious problems that held back bud growth as i was constantly loosing leaves.
Checking all potential problems: root rot, nutrients, PH, overwater, heat, wind.
Nothing really helped but she struggled all the way and got a really nice smell.
As bud growth didnt really start i was fed up: kill'em all. Smell is beatiful, but too much leaf-to-bud-ratio, so i decided to leave all leaves and make cannabutter out of it.
Light drying before de-carb-ing.
Thank you all helpers with my Bug Rave. First of all i think they are not so bad, no signs the plants are not healthy. So the rave goes on, as long as they dont migrate into my bed. Thank you for the advices how to get rid of them if they start a riot. Many thanks for the whole lot of text and the background information to all helping growers @BerrySweetHigh, @m0use, @@ThaCarter, @Mrs.Larimar
Be the green thumb with you 😍
Whats up Growmie, nice Grow keep up the good work 👌🏽🍀 check out mine, maybe you got some tipps 🙏🏽 don‘t forget to Like & follow if you like my organic grows 💯
Insecticidal soap in spray bottle from garden department works wonders. I also dissolve neem oil in it. Should break these guys breeding cycle in no time.
