DAY 71
Growing well, buds are fattening up. Gave it 2 liters of plain water PHed to 6.5 today and defoliated it by cutting 19 leaves. I believe the plant will be ready to harvest in two weeks, at least its upper part as I may need to chop it selectively.
DAY 74
Watered it with 2 liters of water PHed to 6.5 with nutes. Also, cut around 10 leaves more.
DAY 77
Everything's well, the buds are fattening up. However, there are LOADS of buds and the plant currently is working on all of them, which makes it take its time. The lower buds are fattening up most of all, whilst the top buds are almost ready. The trichomes on top buds are 10% transparent, 85% cloudy, and 5% amber. Will wait until day 85 to check again.
Many soils contain some beneficial insects as well as pests... I know if heard of some compost companies that definitely contain good tiny bugs. With neem i don't think everything is known. It'll repel some pests with it's scent and then kill others who eat the leaves its sprayed on. I think you should use botanigard and mosquito bits first, and then wait to do a neem oil treatment if needed.
Saw a flyer in the soil today. Had to kill it though so it's a bit smashed on the photos. The yellow mite is really tiny and on one photo you can see the tweezer's end for comparison. Should I let the soil dry out and then continue watering with BTI/botanigard once a week?
Black one looks like a Fungus Gnat. And the other is a soil mite i think..
here's a link on how to rid yourself of the soil mites

hope this helps.. happy growing! 👊
I'm having some fungus gnats and was planning to begin LST in a couple of days so I can't keep the traps in the pot near the soil like I have them now. What would be the right way to place them to catch the gnats without touching the plant? Thanks!
Hey man, you can simply hang the traps somewhere near the pot in the air for the time being and place them back on the soil of possible again.
Also personal recommendation: if you have fungus gnats try to get some sf-nematodes. It's like 5$ a pack and they are an organic and very helpful way of getting rid of gnats by killing larvae. Worked like a charm for me when I used them!
Cheers
10 days ago the lower set of leaves started drying out (they get brown not yellow). They don't receive light, but now it's already started showing on the third set of leaves. Does it look like nitrogen deficiency or can it be something else? Just gave it full strength nutes.
Sorry to hear about this!! Looks like overwatering or under watering.. to test, put your finger in the soil, if its dry an inch deep then water. Otherwise use a moisture meter. Happy growin!
I may defoliate the girl soon. How many leaves should I take off and from what part of the plant? Won't it stun bud fattening? Should I take off the lower bud sites too? I've got a led strip at the lower part of my tent. Thanks a lot everyone!
