The Trouble with Thripes. EM, WW Autos

Growing cannabis is now legal in Canada and I started my 4 and intended to grow them in pots of increasing size and initially keep them outside in 10 gallon cloth pots. I started to germinate these ladies on May 17. They sprouted May 22. I would take them inside at night and during the day when it was rainy.

June 5 - week 2. on June 3 we have all auto flowering popped out EM1 -Early Miss 1 (biggest to date) EM2 - Early Miss 2 - (second) EM3 - EArly Miss 3 (third) WW - White Widow - SG - Sour Grape that was stunted and hardly grew later (gave her away)

June 12. Transplanted from small fabric pots to 6" pots. They had suffered from heat stress and EM1 fell over! Re-potted and buried the stem in dirt for support. EM2 is now the largest. EM3 had germinated a week later than the rest. This image is EM# a week later. I should have noticed the spots that were caused by the thrips on week 2 but I was ignorant of this sign. on week 3 I pulled a leaf and looked at it under my microscope and it was crawling with larvae. I treated (sprayed top and bottom of leaves) one plant with Schultz Insecticidal Soap and it almost killed the plant. It has come back somewhat but still messed up from this crap that is "safe on plants". I put out yellow sticky traps but I can't see any of them stuck on it. A week later I still had them on this plant so I cut a lot of infested leaves.

June 19. moved to tent - white/blu lite. ALL FLOWERING. June 24 switched to white and red Noah-S LED Grow Lights, 1000W Full Spectrum. It includes universal Blue Red IR UV and white light provide everything plant desire in the natural sunlight. VEG and BLOOM are both functional switches, that can be set accordingly to the plant in different stages.. Started using 3 nutes - 0.5 mg/l each on June 21. then 1.0 mg/l on the 24th

Thrips. June 26 - insecticide and sticky strips. week late plant getting orange hairs, this one has liquid bug juice. July 1 - Transplanted to VIVOSUN 10 Gallons Heavy Duty Thickened Nonwoven Fabric Pots Grow Bags with Handles. Using Pro-Mix Mycorrhizae Growing Medium straight from the bag. I did moisten the entire medium with 1.0 ml/l of the 3. June 27 watered 2 ml each m/g/b

I clipped off a few leaves that were showing much bug spots to hopefully get a few of them.

The picture was taken beside a mature dried pot ( watered 7-29. 0.025 ml/l of bud candy only. 6.1 ph and 280 ppm (interesting - [possibly a result of evaporating the chlorine chloride from my water ?)
