The buds are looking good and maturing nicely. The big news this week is I noticed some spots on the leaves and looked at them under a microscope and found spider mites. Before flowering I had been treating with neem oil but stopped. The infestation isn't terrible because I had already started defoliating and I really cut back everything I could now. Since I'm close to harvest I could maybe just let things go for another week and do nothing but instead I ordered 1500 ladybugs to try to clean up the plants before harvest and also protect the rest of my plants. Bummer but it really doesn't look like a major issue. I will wash my plants before drying regardless to help clean up things as well.
Your plants look great! My first grow were also RQS SK, but only one plant under very bad weather consitions. I'm amazed to see the nice development of your plants under way better consitions.
I bought myself an Äris Ultra by Wolkenkraft with a bubbler - works for me well. Taste of weed is good, way better than simply joints. Can recomment.
Good luck and I'm looking forward to your harvest and smoke report :-)
@ozi_de, I also bought the Äris Ultra with bubbler and am very happy with it. But for the effects, I still prefer to consume cannabis as a tincture or infused oil.
Your Stresskillers look also great! 👌 I wish you good look with your project. BTW: I haven't smoked for a long time and I'm planning to smoke my results with a vape. Maybe that would be suitable for you. 😉
@Gruto, Even better for me are infused coco-oil and golden dragon tincture. The effects lasts much longer than after vaping (but it takes 2 hours until it kicks in :-)
Welcome! I just started last year; fantastic experience. Stress Killer performed extremely well in my last grow. I am mainly using it as a tincture and coco oil infusion; very uplifting! I am also considering a Blumat system. Are you happy with it? Are you also from Germany?
@Sejanus21, on those blumats, after harvest I checked the holes they were in and some had extensive roots and a couple had none so I guess I didn't set them up all correctly. I added one to another plant and checked it after a couple weeks and it's working properly. I will use them again but verify I set it up right.
@Sejanus21, thank you! I'm not in Germany. I just started with the Blumats and I don't have enough experience to comment yet, apologies. I will keep updating on the progress as I go. They seem to be pretty foolproof for short term watering and I'm not thinking to rely on them for all the watering, just a back up really. I intend to set up a solar watering system for my main system and the Blumats would be redundant backup.
I too use a greenhouse from time to time...
During flower stage, I leave both ends open throughout both day and night to allow plenty of airflow and to prevent humidity spikes & set the ladies out in the sin as much as possible. Really only ever bringing them into shelter during rain and night.
It's a live and learn type thing. Hopefully your having fun while learning the process!
Good luck.
@allways_beginner, got any advice? I have no idea what I'm gonna do... Roll a joint, get a bong, make a pipe out of a soda can like my friends did in high school lol?
I like the effects of the tincture very much, what was your experience? Which vape did you purchase? Really curious, because I was in the same position last year.
Sorry to hear that you also have bud rot. I had bud rot on my Royal Creamatics and mildew on my White Widow Auto. The Special Queen which was in the basement at night was fine. I could save enough though to at least try the strains. Making Golden Dragon tincture right now :-). I also installed a second fan in the greenhouse. I still have two photos which start to flower.
@Sejanus21, good luck with what you can save! I am still able to get most of my grow I think. It's ok because I learned something new and all knowledge is expensive!
Glass ice bong is what I would prefer. ... 😁 ... that's what i used to smoke back in the days. I have not smoked for 20 years as well ... tbh. I don't know what is "in" today ... is what i want to say. But you can't go wrong with an ice bong. Best bang for the bucks.
