@kalilgibran, Thanks! I wanted to flush early to let the dry amendments time to dissolve...As for the predatory mites, persimilis, I tried them on my last grow, and although they did work, they have their drawbacks. You have to keep humidity over 60% for it to be optimal for them...I've found water and cayenne pepper to be just as effective and much cheaper...Now to see a how a garlic concoction will work...😎

This is my second round of Green Crack. Overall it's going well, despite a persistent spider mite problem. I've been spraying them with water and cayenne pepper, but will switch to water and garlic soon because I don't want cayenne on my buds. I switched them about two weeks ago from my cheap Phlizon 600w to a KingPlus 2000w. Last grow I used the Phlizon for harvesting and got less than an ounce from two plants. Hope Kingled will come through for me... My plants vegetated in 5 gallon pots, consisting of 2 thirds ProMix and 1 third marine compost. There's a few tablespoons of dolomite lime, some kelp meal and some bat guano. For fertilizer during flowring I've been giving them Bigbudjuice.ca, an organic liquid fertilizer high in phosphorus and high enough in nitrogen, with a little bit of potassium. I think they may need more potassium. One more fertilizing to go before I start flushing.

Good job bro! I've read that flushing is typically done 1 to 2 week prior to harvest, why do you want to flush so early? Maybe try Phytoseiulus persimilis for your mites?

@kalilgibran, Yeah, so for the flushing, I decided to stop giving dry amendments now and just give them the liquid fertilizer until about two weeks before they are ready...

@CannabisHerald, interesting, I didn't consider the dry amendments! Thanks for the feedback! And I hope your garlic concoction works, and if not, at least it's gonna smell good in your place!

Nice looking grow. Wishing you the best of luck on a good yield. Are you planning on harvesting soon? Is that why you're flushing?

@PatMcCrotch, Thanks, you too!😎 I'm planning on harvesting in 4-5 weeks, last time the ,same strain was ready at 7 weeks flowering but they were smaller...That's why I want to begin flushing soon, but I'm not sure when I should start...I'm using a mix of organic dry amendments and organic liquid fertilizer...When do you think I should give them the last liquid feed?

CannabisHeraldcommentedweek 75 years ago

This waiting the last few days is killing me!

CannabisHeraldcommentedweek 35 years ago

Ok, so going to give them a smaller feeding tomorrow...Ran out of Bigbudjuice.ca, new bottle arriving during weekend...They're getting thirstier...I've been watering every 7 days, but now it's only been four days since the last watering...Also going to spray them with my garlic concoction tomorrow...
