It was a big week, had to do a early update.... So my Kripple Roulette was getting so big that it was going thru water waay faster. Faster that I ever expected. I replaced the rez on July 29, by Aug. 4 I had to top it up again, that was fine and normal, but then on Aug. 6 on my way to work i noticed it was starting to droop, I was almost late for work so I waited till after my shift to check it. When i got home she looked dead she was so wilted. I could have just threw her out and started a new one but I wanted to experiment and see if i could bring her back. I did some research and found out it was possible.. long but possible. I replaced the rez with regular tap water, no ph, and no nutes. I will give her a week or 2 and see if she comes back, hopefully she does. But if not I will just scrap her and start a new one.
Now the Cheese... Cheese is coming along nicely. Buds are getting huge! Im assuming there is only about 4 weeks or so left because the trichromes are clear with about 20% milky. I will start my finisher feed on the next feeding, which is today. The Aurora Borealis is coming along as well. She has a little bit of a spidermite problem but im just going to press the whole plant into rosin anyways. Most of the mites are dead but there is still a handful left in the tent. Once this grow is dont the tent is going to have a complete clean up. spray down from head to toe with Spray-Nine. 💪
The Kripple Roulette didnt make it. i pulled the plug on her. I will finish these 2 girls off then Start fresh
I also started a finisher nute with the Cheese because it will be done in about 4 weeks or less. I should of made this a flower grow from week 3 when the cheese started to flower but i kept it veg untill the Kripple Roulette was going into flower but unfortunely it didnt make on account of human error. But Dont worry, she will be back in the next grow.
FYI one of the sure ways to rid your grow of spider mites is to cap your soil with an inch of Sand, small pebbles or diotenacious (sp) soil.
This prevents the mites from going to their homes in the soil, or getting from bed to the dinner table.
Watering stays the same, sand acts as a barrier.
It works !!
