March 13, 2019 Update:
Transplanted and moved one of the CBD Medi Kush plants into the Flower room this weekend. The other seedling will remain in the veg tent for another month, then I’ll pick the next plants to move into flower. I’d like to keep a 6 plant per month rotation going in flower.
Also, switching over to organic feeding. Feeding with Living Water (2-3 ounces of fish tank water per gallon of well water) and also trying Jobe's Organics Fertilizer Spikes for Vegetables 2-7-4. I planted 5 spikes per 5 gallon grow bag. I pushed the spikes down finger depth about 2/3's of the way from the base of the stem to the side of the bag and spread the 5 spikes evenly around the pots. The plan is to just add water from here on out and see how it goes. I have 'high hopes', I recently read "True Living Organics" by The Rev and he seems to be a big fan of spikes and living water.
I did change to a new 1000W HPS bulb in the flower room. The old bulb was in use for 3 months.
p.s. I'm starting a couple new diaries next, check em out! 👍
@SpliffSeeds
I like your informative chart re substrate and lighting type. And that you offer photos. I’m not needing seeds at the moment, but I shall remember you when I do. Warm regards and continued success.
I really enjoyed looking though your weeks and havin' those Videos explaining everything in regard of your plants. Great Job and a soothing voice.
Keep it up :)
well ,i know what made your mites attack your plants,HST ...during FLOWERING...that is a NO NO ,pests tend to attack plants that are vurnerable and stressed out ,so guess they found the perfect envoirment.sorry for your loss,but never high stress train your plant in flower.period ,happy growing
@DudeGrowsWeed,
Enjoy the link i posted here :D each of us learn everyday and with every grow ,open minded is always the solution to learning more ,high stress training is basicaly the thoughest training a plant can get in my opinion,logicaly plants comunicate with each other(i saw there alot of plants and i think the one with the HSt was the one which was affected ) plus pests..we're talking specificaly about mites,which sometimes are the devil incarnate,they dissapear and appear and so on,so that's a bit smart coming from them,so i guess if you research on mites a bit deeper you will find out not only mites but pests love unhealthy plants,sucking out their chlorophile ,for them a stressed plant is a delicacy,check out the link .by the way flowering(doesnt matter what stage of flowering is ) is the worst time to stres a plant out.i am happy that things sorted out in the end ,cheers !

@Blacklisted, Thanks for the advice, but I respectfully disagree. HST had nothing to do with the spider mite infestation. The spider mites came in from a plant my wife asked me to move in to my grow room for her. That plant had previously been outdoors and turned out to be loaded with bugs, including spider mites. I removed the plant after a couple of days when I noticed bugs swarming around it, but the damage was done. The spider mite infestation has been rectified for a long time now. I emptied my grow room and cleaned it from top to bottom. Then started growing again. This is the only plant that was brought back in, but she was a baby when I removed her and I kept her quarantined in a grow tent for over a month before bringing her back in. There have been no new signs of spider mites at all in the past few months.
Also, the HST was done early in flower, right at the end of the flowering stretch. Not really 'during flowering' in ernest.
Thanks again for paying attention!
