One of my plants was rife with spider mites... took me long enough to figure it out that it spread to my other plants. I had to remove the infected plant... she was beyond recovery. The others I am treating with detergent insecticide spray which is made specifically for spider mites. I have one Amnesia Haze plant left. She looks pretty good though and I think she will pull through to harvest.
@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks for letting us try Amnesia Haze... I can already tell it's going to be a solid favourite. The vibe is so much fun! We were laughing like fools and couldn't get the smoke report written up properly. That means it's a win. We would have had a much better result, except I ended up with a spider mite infection in my grow room. I lost three plants, and two were very sick - so sick they almost didn't make it to harvest. Lots' of lessons learned, and we managed to walk away with a modest yield. Would love to try again once I get my grow room sanitized... because I could tell right from the start that these are monster genetics :-)
Thanks for sharing a new diary with one of our strains.
We hope you enjoy it :P
Once finished, with the final notes of the strains, you can ask us for more seeds to share another diary.
Sweet smokes!

Niceee glad you succeeded in sprouting. I'm am. Starting a cross of this strain from Xs just put them in a Danm paper tower and ziplock 10 minutes ago!
Hi AnneJ, I've had the exact same problems before. My thoughts on your struggles are all ph related, in my case minerals built up and caused the ph to go up in the grow medium and flushing helps, but I started to measure the ph of my run off and it was in the 7's. I started to ph at 5.8 for nutes and got it down to 6.8 r/o it took about 3 feed/flushes to adjust it back back to a 6.3 r/o. It lookes like a calmag deficiency and it is but it's caused by the elevated ph preventing plants from taking in water and nutes. This also means the plants just soak in a wet pot all the time causes the hooked tip on fan leaves, typical sign of overwatering. By the time I got it figured out and corrected the grow was done. No worries though, that plant was some of the best weed in the last 50 years. I do keep a lot closer eye on my ph run off in the veg stage now. You may want to back off the nutes and flush using fresh ph-ed rainwater, that is less likely to contribute to a mineral build up. All that means is I'm no expert and there's a hundred ways to screw a plant up, believe
on that.. 2n or 3rd opinions wouldn't hurt. :) Hope they get well and good luck. Happy grows.
@Loserofthemonth, interesting... i'll be brave enough to try it as an experiment. i'll do a bit more research first. i have heard root trimming can be useful...
@Njanne, I know nothing about using dirt indoors. I use fox farms that I supplement with compost and an array of amendments. My brother grows photoperiods in dirt inside, and he runs into root bound nute lock etc... I know he has to occasionally dig down about 4 inches in a five gallon pot and cut out roots. Yikes! But his plant will perk up in a day or 2 and be fine. Ok I'm definately not recommending that but I swear he is crazy enough to do so.
@Loserofthemonth, thanks for taking the time to check out my plants and share your experience/advice... I'm a little bit nervous about the whole measurement of pH which is why I don't grow hydro LOL... I might need to look into this a bit more. I wonder if I grow with no nutrients would it be a better outcome? Like you said... the buds look really good, and they seem to be filling out nicely. I'll try some flushing to see if that helps... I don't have a very good way to collect run off water to measure pH... I suppose I could rig something up but I really am too lazy for that! LOL.
hey there! This could also be salt stress by using LED - move your light up about 6-8 inches and see how the plant reacts...you're looking for "praying" of the top leaves which will tell you..."thanks mommy! - I can breathe a bit better now!". Nutrients will get "locked" into the leaves and get trapped by the light intensity - eventually causing the spotting you're seeing (rusty spots starting on the inside and eventually going necrotic) - you're feeding CalMag which tells us calcium / magnesium isn't the issue. ๐
@CannaScuzzyB, you are exactly right. After trying *everything* I could think of, I raised the lights and dimmed the strongest light... they are way better now!
