Guess we'll see

@Mrs_Larimar, why thank you very much. This was my 1st erotic photo shoot so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😁

@Mrs_Larimar, thank you! I'm having a blast and running myself into the ground all at the same time lol. As soon as I clear this clusterfuck up I'm not gonna do it to myself again. This time I mean it lol. How have things been going? Gotta go check out what you've been up to.

@Mrs_Larimar, I think I have them on their heels now. Only have another week or so left so I should be good. Lady bugs didnt work as fast as I hoped but I think they may have helped. Found a spray that seems to work great that's a bunch of stuff youd find in a kitchen like garlic, clove, chilis and stuff. Smells terrible but supposed to break down in 24hrs and leave no residue. I hope it does cuz if my buds taste like that smells I'm gonna have to throw em in somebody else's garbage can lol

@Beans,havent had spider mitees.... but for that are predator mites........and i did not try... ladybugs as i now are god against lice

@Mrs_Larimar, so have u had good luck with the predators? Tried lady bugs but wasnt impressed so I'm planning on predators next. Want to get through the last 2-3 weeks and use them to begin my next batch.

@Iop420, thank u, just harvested so I guess we will indeed see soon✌️

@PharmaZ, thanks bro, you spent a good chunk of time mentoring me so u deserve some credit for everything I've grown too. I fell off for a while on the site but I was busy grinding away putting it all to use during my absence. Thanks man👊

@Beans, That's what we like to hear and now it's time to see what you can do with our Chocolate Mint OG in bloom 👍 Good luck buddy 👊 With love from Humboldt County✌️ Kind regards Team-HSO..

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, so far I'm very happy with the choice👍

@Beans, That is so cool that you had all the strains in the world to choose from and you selected our Chocolate Mint OG 👍 We won't let you down and so far we really like what we see ✌️ Please keep the diary update my friend 👊 With love from Humboldt County✌️ Kind regards Mark..

@Puffer_Bill, I didnt even know that existed, that's awesome. I think they woukdve been fine and had I caught them early enough I wouksve just plucked em off and kept an eye on it. Tent was too crowded and had a couple open flowers when I found them so I just yanked them out. Didnt want any more pollen anywhere and didnt have the energy to check them all everyday on too of everything else

@Beans, And the Dutch Master reverse is to reverse hermies. 😎✌️🏼

@Puffer_Bill, thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check it out on my quest to end spider mites. 👍

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, well its had 3 weeks to cure and once again it was the winner of the bunch. it's definitely in the group I plan to grow again. I've only harvested 6 strains so far but the chocolate mint OG is in the conversation for my favorite overall. It's the best smelling strain I've ever had. That, superglue and strawberry banana are my 3 winners. I'll post my harvest info next week after its cured for a month.

@Deeganja, thank u! I've read several articles and talked to a few people and the consensus seems to be that there isn't any scientific research that supports it, but everybody who does it seems to think it makes a difference. I did it on my 1st grow but I have no idea what it did or didnt do. I gave them a longer night before I harvested today just because I remember reading it's better to harvest in the dark so they arent processing the light and making more chlorophyll. Thought it was a solid point. I'm going to try it my next flower cycle for a full 2 days and see what I think.

@CRiSPrGrow, if I win the lottery I'm spending $100,000,000 on killing every mite in the galaxy. Fuck some kind of space mites we dont even know about too. If they exist I want them dead as well lol

@Beans, it's all about the benefitials man, i just hope your soil isnt infected !

@CRiSPrGrow, it's all good bro, I cleaned every inch of the inside of my tent yesterday. Vacuumed the floor and walls and top+bottom of the liner. Sprayed it down with dish soap water then then scrubbed it off, then did the same 99% isopropyl alcohol. Thick layer of diatomaceous earth between the tent and liner plus dusted the whole bottom of the tent before I put the liner back in. Rubbed it onto the seam on the top walls of the liner and brushed it into the fabric around the whole bottom of the outside of the tent and around all vents and zippers. I mixed some into the soil when I transplanted all my new 1s + dusted em + brushed it into the bottom of the grow bags all the way around them. So now the little bastards will have to crawl through several layers of diatomaceous hell to even get there. As long as I dont bring them in and deliver them and I cant see how they'll get in there now. I'm also curious if it would be possible to amend the soil with some kind of pollen to feed predatory mites so they could breed and establish their own infestation. Then I could reuse the soil and replenish the food supply and have an army of anti spider mite soldiers protecting them from beginning to end. That would be neat lol

@Beans, Try also Bacilus Subtilis, or better yet a combination of B.T. and Trichoderma Israelis - these will affect the afids directly, but you might need to spray the leafs too... idk : prevention is the best medicine right? i just bought loads of beneficial myself, clearly it's easier to prevent than to combat an outbreak... sorry man....

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, yeah I have gotten a bit carried away. I wanna grow new strains but I dont wanna let any go once I grow them lol. I was supposed to pick my favorite 2 or 3 and let the rest go. I screwed that up a bit and have even more now. but I've learned valuable lessons on what's more enjoyable for me as far as how I want to grow. I got a bunch of different strains coming in behind these then I'm considering sort of starting over and revamping my program. 1 strain per tent, 2 tops and only if they happen to grow about the same size. I've never just grown a single strain. I will definitely be bringing back the chocolate mint again and I wanna try the black dog as well. Ultimately I wanna have 2 strains, 1 for day time stuff and 1 for lazy/night time stuff. Then swap em out whenever I feel I'm ready for a change. I've been all about cramming as much experience in as possible this last year which I think I've done, but it turns out I'm a bit of strain hoarder lol.

@Beans, sounds like you've been having a struggle my friend but your winning 👍 May I offer a little advice? I would not scale back you grow rather be more selective with strains that you grow/sekect. May be do less variety with 2-3 stable strains that will grow well together? We can offer strain advice if needed just drop us a message 👊 Chocolate Mint OG is looking in great shape mate 👌 With love from Humboldt County✌️ Kind regards Team-HSO..

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, sorry I've been falling behind. Between the mites and my superglues herming on me I've been working even harder but frustrated, discouraged and disappointed as I do it. On the bright side I finally learned my lesson and have no desire to juggle this much chaos again. Counting seedlings and clones for next batch (indoor and outdoor) I think I have about 15 strains going in 3 tents + a table in my closet and some hermies in the back yard I'm hoping to at least get seeds from. I had a feeling I was gonna take some lumps this round, then just when i thought to myself "I'm actually gonna pull this off" ive been getting my ass whooped ever since lol.

@Deeganja, hopefully its not too disappointing. Really screwed the proverbial pooch on this 1. Several times. On separate occasions too. Lol

@Deeganja, I only ended up doing about 36hrs. Sorry it took so long for me to get back to u. I dont think I've even been on since I harvested. Wanted to wait until it cured for a month to do my final assessment. Unfortunately I thought I'd just remember everything so I didnt bother writing anything down lol
