Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering.
I've stopped closing up the tent at nights now. The plants are so far along in flowering they won't turn back to veg, even with the neighbor's lights on.
So I'm not in there twice a day now. So I was a little surprised to find spider mites. The grow was going so good I thought I missed the bugs this year.
But they showed up. I bought a Hypochlorous Acid Generator last year last year early so I was prepared.
I used it at full strength last year for spider mites and I got yellow leaves after a couple of weeks. I guess the leaves got a bit fried at full strength.
So this year I'm trying it at 1/2 strength with a drop of dish soap to help choke those dam spider mites.
It's a little pricey, but I'm hoping to get years of use out of it, to make up for the price.
Everything else is going good in here.
Started flushing yesterday with PH adjusted tap water. The tap water used to be at 6.5 ph for years, but the water counsel found out that 7.5 ph water is better for you.
So I have to adjust it. It's 1 drop of ph down per gallon and it makes it 5.7 ph. water.
It will be 2 weeks more of flushing and then harvest. With the Panty Punch male plant ...
I've seeded 1 branch of each plant and I've pollenated 4 clones too. They are - The White, Amnesia Lemon, Critical OG and Pink Kush.
I'll send you some free good regular seeds if you want to do a diary on them. I learn from your diaries so I can improve my breeding technics.
So if you would like some free seeds, privet message me and we can chat about them.
I send them in a Christmas card with an international stamp. It cost me about 3 dollars Canadian.
I don't mind. I get to learn from you.
Ok. Be Great.
Chuck.
