Deeper pots makes sense as they have taproots. The Auto came out fine, it just didn't get very big which I chalk up to the 24/7 lighting schedule. I'm going to try another shortly. I did transplant it from solo cup to 1# to 4#

I think I'll try one in a solo and another right into the #4. I won't be starting till after the election.

Mephisto genetics are some of the top auto flower breeders right now. So far the best auto I've grown was from them, it was alien X triangle. They have a giveaway going now it might be over, if you hurry you might be able to sneak in. You get a five pack of mephisto skywalker og auto flower.

Leaf Miners are easily eradicated with spinosad (organic soil bacterium)...spinosad is in captain jacks dead bug or monterey garden insect spray. Fairly minor pest that doesnt really cause problems other than aesthetically ugly trails in the leaves...they dont really eat flowers though.
BUT...since you have already used Bayer Advanced I wouldnt spray anything further. The active ingredient is imidacloprid, a systemic insecticide that persist in plant tissues for 45-60 days. Toxic Shit and one of the neonicotinoid nerve agents that are responsible for Bee Colony Collapse. It is banned from cannabis application in colorado and I highly recommend you not use it in the future, for you own health and the health of your environment.
It is always best to start with the least toxic application when dealing with bugs. If you just start with the strongest stuff, there is a chance pests can develop a resistance to it and become super bugs that no poison will harm. Same reason Doctors do not prescribe the strongest antibiotic available everytime someone needs it...if they did germs could become antibiotic resistant and they would have nothing left that will kill them.

I'd imagine your plants should be pretty resistant to most pests for a few weeks after the bayer advanced spray.

Cold pressed 100% neem oil, alternating with Captain Jack's spinosad spray helped me tho after a few weeks they returned. Halfway thru flower they suddenly left my plants alone. I sprayed in the evening right before dark.

this is an amazing thread - I've learned a lot from reading through, thanks to everyone for contributing to this resource. Does anyone have experience with verified CBD rich clones in the 808? I am registered with the state, and trying to treat epilepsy - all I can get is high thc strains. I understand that cbd seed stock contains a mix of phenotypes and I'd need to test them, so I haven't gone that direction. I've been through so many different meds to no avail just hoping to find some natural relief MAHALO

Sorry I can't help you at this time as I'm a Newbie as well, but I've a friend of a friend who is also looking for some high CBD meds for her epilepsy.

Hooo! Whaddascoops baddahs? Crazy rain going on over here the last two days. Yesterday we had 5 or 6 inches of standing water in our yard and today one part of the way home from a job had water almost to the top of my truck tires. About half the cars were turning around at that spot and the other half were gunning it. Pretty nuts driving with all the road rivers.
I've got a Harlequinn BX that I believe is high in CBD. It's got some THC too because it gets you high still, but it's good for pain and is pretty mellow. I made some oil out of it for my friend's mom who has Alzheimer's and my buddy said it was a miracle for his mom. He gave her some high THC oil I made also and said that it didn't help nearly as much.
I've got Harlequin BX F2 seeds too. I'm sure those would be a mixed bag of high CBD, high THC. I grew one out recently and it smelled lovely and looked real nice too. I haven't smoked it yet though.
It wouldn't be hard to get high CBD cuttings or seeds out to those who need them.
What island are you on?
I have a friend here who had Harle Tsu. I'll check and see if he still has it or if he can get some cuts of it and let you guys know. I'm pretty sure HarleTsu has the highest CBD content and a really low THC content so it should help with all sorts of ailments without getting you high.

Well, the deed is done. All three girls are now chopped and in their jars. Admittedly all 3 were taken early but I'm OK with that. Time constraints was an issue. The Bingo Pajamas was getting spider mites so she was the first to go. Dried 3 days and put 2.2 Oz in 2 jars. I just jarred the other 2 this morning. The JillyBean, which was essentially one big cola dried 4 days and I put 1/2 Oz in a smaller jar. The last one, Jack the Ripper dried 4 days and I put 3.2 Oz in 3 jars. I graded the Jack into colas in one jar (A), the secondary buds into one jar (B) and the popcorn buds into the 3rd jar (C). Now I'm going for the cure. I've got the sugar leaves in the freezer.
It's been a good learning experience for me and I'd like to thank everyone for their advice and support. If I can keep the mold out I should have plenty smoke to tide me thru the fall. I'll try some autos after New Year's.
Here's a few pics. The donkey dong is the JillyBean.

I'm on Oahu, thanks for tip - Id be really glad to find something like your Harlequinn BX w/ both cbd and thc - my research indicates that raw THCA is perhaps just as valuable as as CBD for seizure disorders - It hasn't gathered the same media attention because it's gonna be a lot harder to make money off compared to 'hemp' products, regardless LMK
this rain is crazy - while iIm here I want to share something I recently figured: I live in the mountains deep in the forest and deal with every pest imaginable in my little hoop-house. My plants were getting devoured by caterpillars until I discovered an amazing biological control: JUMPING SPIDERS - I unleashed a bunch and saw my pest population disappear in just a few days - no webs, no mess and best no pesticides!
