Day 50. Girls had 30 hours of darkness and now its first day of flower !!!
Nothing to add, they look ok, found couple pests under leaves, applied neem oil.
Never had any bugs inside, but its always first time ...
Would be nice to know, how quick or how long does it takes for big problem to happen ...
But that kind of curiosity i won't satisfy ;))))
On old leaves found like 5 bugs on first plant, thought its enough to start worry ...
Day 51. Girls are flying, photos shows it all....
Even after watering they still look more than ok, always pray...
Hope neem oil helped to sort bugs, will check it in 3 days.
Day 52. Bugs are still here, more soap and neem oil , all done in bath, each girls took at least 2 liters of spray, most leaves washed gently with spray and fingers, lowest old or damaged leaves removed.
Sticky traps installed.
Should sort this out.
Worst case i still can spray them twice before first flowers starts to form... better to do all shit in veg, but i am old and blind, sometimes i see just huge things ...
Day 56. Sticky traps out, Army of LadyBugs in !!! ;)))
Some leaves looks bad, now i see what a big pain in @$$ are pest, how fortunate was i to avoid it for so long ...
Girls drink quick, so i should be still ok, in couple days 200 larvae of LadyBugs should arrive as well ...
Fingers crossed !
Happy Growing !!!
@russrahl , if you would look at photo - its a totally snaped plant.
Like half answers here, it was given without looking whats happend. Trophy hunter syndrome ...
Have you ever tried the Leafcoat from Biobizz?
I had trips during veg. Not a lot, but still. I sprayed black soap and alternated with pure water. And after like a week of treatment, I applied Leafcoat.
And i haven't seen thrips since. I think it's working well.
I also have some carnivorous plant in my tent. Dionaea and Drosera.
I'm not sure if it's a really good thing. The Dionaea isn't probably helping for thrips, but I think that Drosera can work.
But those plants require to keep the soil always moist, so it can be a problem... So I'm not sure about the risk-benefit of it...
@PurpleWorship, no never had issues, so i didn't checked that part of biobizz range ;))) guess left doors too long open with lights on in eve, sometimes fresh air brings troubles...
Looks like second wave of my treatment helped, will do one more round just in case, will check Leafcoate for future. Thanks !
@Sweet_Seeds, look at last two Cheeses, they are on day 15-16 since saw first light ... You just can't grow your plants normally - they are out of control !!! Too big !!! ;)))) No LST for them without toping and i think even that won't help, they will overgrow my tent with such rhythm ;))))
I struggled only with Kushes, in some diaries i saw, that people where escaping almost without any nutes ...
Future will show.
@AsNoriu, You have to grow them like any other Photoperiod-Dependent. The only difference is that they have a faster flowering period.
Sweet smokes,
-Apolo
@smoking_hills9, it went a bit out of control. Kushes late start and different tactics don't work with the rest of grow, will have to play chess again ..
Will move Kushes to my dry room, they will finish there. And here will put 3 autos to use that space a bit .
@Sweet_Seeds, hey Apollo , you ow me ;))) we agreed on one diary, but your plants are above everything i have expected .... my tent too small ;)))
Moved Kushes to other place, they have theirs own diary now.
@Ferenc, i overtried my indoor flowered Royal Gorilla, in bits ;)))
will do LST early in the morning ;)))))
But Yes, girls grow very indica type and solid, want to flatten them a lot now ...
@Smokwiri, You are too kind for this grow, healthy leaves are key point and in this grow i trimed them most in all my life , after this they had two waves of heavy damage caused by thrips and later sulphur deficiency caused by dodgy molasses.
I always moan before harvest, but this "cry" won't have happy ending as i usually escaped... 2 ounces on average my prediction and its sad ... ;)))
Good luck in Yours !
@EXZELENS, make it, approach Apolo, he is fantastic guy. I will try to regrow this house without mistakes. Still my Killer Kush is my best weed that i ever grew by taste.
@AsNoriu, I'm a little rude to him, because he obviously likes and follows his own grows. I don't like people like him but decided to help him anyways. 🤣 I'm a friendly guy but sometimes i have to tell people the truth. Its a bad habit I know.
@@ShotGunBob, good and i accept all advices, even rude ones ;)))
Your runs are the ones to show, i grow mass ;)))
Limited to electric, space, but went long path to find how, if i ever made it ;))))
@Chedderbob112, if you will plan to have more Kushes, thats the one to try out in one of the soonest grow. Honestly i hate to choose champ/fav/best, but she is in my top 3 4sure !!! ;)))))
