Yes it's coming along it's time to re pot them and change the timer to 11-13 or 10-14 I'm unsure atm which?

Earlier today I put a kush, exo and lemon cherry gelato clones/mums into 12-12 with the seeds.

The root pouches are really convenient i like them, I only get 1 use from them they only cost £3/4 per 100

It's what we used half the time in the plant nurserys too bud simply due to price there probably the cheapest things going them/bit bigger growbags they grow plants fine too

Sensis or Nirvana's Hindu is good but just know the possibility of monecy is there regardless it's worth running and the good phenos are pretty hard to beat I love that hashy gingery sandalwoody kushy taste myself some hate it suppose it depends on you just remember this is an heirloom you want real deal raw less worked kush id look at Kwik seeds if you do run sensis or Nirvana's just know that it likes the dirt a bit dry Vs some ime not a strain that likes overly wet soil another cheap nice one is spliff seeds nl does a nice Afghan kush regs only though with that tho the female ghani they do got skunk in it the reg one doesn't

I just went to sensi seeds for three fem Hindu seeds 15 bucks I've never expected that cheap. Was curious to see how much.

It's one of there cheaper ones that sensi skunk and white labels purple bud and guerillas gusto but it's better than all those imo

Bought one these... Tricky to use, but the details are incredible.


I found trichomes on the tip of the pistils. Unreal

 

[Farmer's Hat]

This is how the purple calyx surface looks.

 

[Star Dog]

Check out this trich from a pistil

I had to re focus on the 2nd half.

 

[Farmer's Hat]

I wish I could get it to focus on one of trichomes. It had a purple pattern in it, that looked like four flower petals. Ive never seen anything like it before. Its a microscopic universe!

I don't have a great camera on my phone.

It doesn't matter how close you get you'll still want a closer look, I'd to see the expression on microbes faces (assuming they have one) ideally I'd like a scanning electron microscope.

Cool toy!

You'll get the hang of it, can't wait to see what you find,I gotta get a better phone also,love these pics

 

[Star Dog]

My memory card doesn't register in this phone and it's pain to swap cards from another phone to the microscope and back then log it in etc, my hands don't have the dexterity they once did but I've few microscope pics I can share.

Springtail

Idk microbe sized

Leaf transpiration

Springtail springer bit

This character needs no introduction lol

Coco run off

Pot worms

I got my 1st microscope for Christmas about 45 years ago ± I've still an interest in them the micro world it's full of awe and wonder.

Ah, that fkin mite, I'm so worried about that starting my run soon. Them and your battle with nats you got control of. I was thinking of making spray from the habaneros and boil in a bit of water for 10 min, supposed to fry mites from heat in pepper makes sense they sell other sprays with it in. Guys here swear by it. Sweet pics

Be careful when taking clones they're often a source of problems!!

A wetting agent is your best friend fighting bugs, when I fought them I seen the difference a wetting agent makes under the microscope.

Without a wetting agent the hairs on mites react with surface tension in water creating like a safety bubble, with a wetting agent as soon as water makes contact them it immediately covers them up drowning them.

I got rid of mites 100% with H202 or citric (I'd need to check) wetting and/ or H202 was actually for the eggs the wetting agent with just water kills them effectively ime.

Fwiw I dunked the whole plant down to the coco gave it 5min and repeated and that was pretty much it tbh, mites for me weren't a huge problem compared to frickin gnats lol.

I see gnats here and there. Ive been using diatomaceous earth. It helps control things but it hasn't got rid of them completely. I dont really pay attention to them if there are a few sneaking around in the veg tent. They eventually die once the go into the flower tent because conditions are very different in there.

Id go with hotter ones tho habenaros aren't so potent something like Carolina reaper chilli powder or ghost Nagas that kind of range

There's a few different kinds i think that is a two spotted spider mite unless I'm mistaken

 

[Star Dog]

I found a few pics that might interest you guys?

The last two are fungus gnat larvea, I found they can take up to 7wk from egg to adult.

The spider mite I dealt with didn't lay clusters of eggs like you might expect they appear random and in 1s I spotted the eyes from inside an egg.

The black spots turn red in the egg as it matures.

Hey @conor c yes that's what I thought after checking them out on Google at the time.
They'd be a nightmare in flower where I couldn't really fight them I'd cancel it lol.
