BigD_era420started grow question 2y ago
Thrips, Whiteflies, Spider Mites Fungus Gnats are eating and shiting on my buds and leaves. I had to cut a big bud because of the mold their shit made. My plan now is using Use diatomaceous earth on the soil. I don't know if it is enough. Any suggestions guy?

Depende si estás en floracion o en crecimiento
En floracion NO pulverizes tierra de diatomeas en las hojas, o fumarás silicio...
En crecimiento si puedes pulverizar tierra de diatomeas disuelta en agua (de 10 a 20 gramos por litro de agua)
En ambas fases, puedes espolvorear tierra de diatomeas sobre la capa superior del sustrato y alrededor del tronco (pero SIN tocarlo)

Use diatomaceous earth on the soil AND spray the leaves. Make a super concentrated solution, it must leave white powder on the leaves. Do that 3x a week, before you turn off the lights. I got rid of a horrible mite infestation that way.

Determining Trichome Readiness: Advice on Equipment or TechniquesI absolutely suck at harvesting and using the mini 🔬to determine trichome readiness. I don't have a steady hand, and it takes me forever to see if it's clear, milky, or amber. I see a lot of people on here with some ridiculously amazing up close photos of even their trichomes.Buds.

Stigmas and budsHello! Can anyone explain why one bush has thicker buds and stigmas than another. Main laning buds are not thick and long. LST buds are thick and short buds with thick stigmas. Nutrition and substrate are the same for everyone. 1st pic - lst, 2nd pic - main lining.Buds. Other

Bud rot???Tips of Northern Light buds turning brown and dying. They just crumble to dust. I've cut away all of what I can see to be affected. I've read it's likely bud rot but I've always thought that would be more moldy looking. Just don't want it spreading to other plants. Any thoughts?Week 9

Harvesting plant in sections — not all at once?When harvesting, does anyone ever harvest their plant in phases? Example: I have trichomes approaching harvest on the tops of the colas, but lower down they are still all clear, and will not be ready at the same time. Should I cut tops now, lower ones later?Week 15
