Don't worry bro, looking at the rest of the leaves in the pics, the damage is pretty minor. Just get on it ASAP. I remember we were talking about sprays a little while back and you mentioned you either had or were going to buy some spray for your outdoor plants. Not sure what you did, but you can use your outdoor spray for indoor plants. I've had excellent results with Safer 3 in 1 and Ortho Ecosense 3 in 1 Rose Formula ($5 from wal mart) with my outdoor plants.

dam bro, WTF, this really sucks!!
One thing after another, what can you do... It does suck, I hate having to chop my only female out of those 4! Luckily it wasn't to much and I just cut the blades not the whole fan leaf... Not sure if it matters. Its funny how the three biggest and healthiest turned male, its been a hell of a learning experience thats for sure!

shit bro, sorry to read of these troubles.

Its cool, Hopefully things will start to turn around soon and I get control of these bugs. Stayed tuned, don't give up on me yet :)

Thanks sonar, once again for the suggestions. I did end up getting the FF "don't bug me" for like 15 I think it was.. It seemed to help a little but not for the money! My main problem was snails though so the salt did help for those. I'll definitely look into both of those when I run out of this stuff.

I was planning on spraying them right before the lights go out so I'm good there for now..

What about the watering with .5% neem? Where would I be able to get the neem, Hydro store?

On a positive note I was doing some reading about the wonder womans genetics and It seemed pretty interesting so I figured I would post it on here for anyone interested. Its mother Is ice which is crossed with, "Afghani, skunk, Northern lights, Shiva." Father was top 44.

Should make for some nice smoke!!

My Little girl is looking nice and bushy, should be ready to take a few clones in another 2 weeks. Its almost filling up the box and ready to go in the mother cab soon. Shes been loving the grow big, big bloom and molasses that I've been feeding her! I'll be posting pics on all there birthdays "FRIDAY."

Pics of the girls tomorrow!! I lst'd 4 fan leaves on the wonder woman, shes starting to fill out that box nice!! Time to start getting the mother cab ready.

The two that I topped are looking really good too and I lst'd their top 2 fan leaves, so the 2 main colas get more light! Plus it helped with room in that little box.

I just fed them with regular water this time and mixed all there new nutes.

The two flowering plants are getting big bloom and molasses. Hopefully at least tiger bloom aswell in the next couple waterings.
The 3 babies are getting big bloom/grow big/molasses!!

The plan is to veg the wonder woman for another 2-3 weeks and take at least 4 nice clones. Hopefully turn one of them into a mother.
I'm giving the topped babies another week or 2 under 20/4 lights, then I'll be throwing them in with the other flowering plants when I get more light!

Tomorrow is day 8 of 12/12, the smaller short rider isn't showing sex yet but the top of her looks crazy! Seems like there's 3 shoots growing naturally! Imagine if I topped this one.:o I'm not going to though seeing its already in 12/12.

The big girl is doing really good, seems like I'm controlling the leaf minors so lets hope it stays that way! I'm noticing the hairs start to pop out more every day and shes starting to fatten up from the cfl's being so close!:weed:

Wonder woman is looking so healthy, I can't wait to get some clones off her!

The two topped babies are exactly 1 week from topping and you can clearly see the difference in a weeks time! The only thing about these that I noticed is the purple stems of the fan leaves right below where I topped them. Is this normal?

Oh I added some more light too:)

2X68w 2700k
4x23w 2700k
2x27w 5500k

Thats around 282 true watts for the two flowering plants! I'll be throwing the topped babies in there in a week or 2. I'm hoping to have a couple girls for the first harvest!!

Edit. The last 5 pictures are the 12/12 plants, The others have been under 20/4 for about 4-5 weeks now.

Thanks!

I hope so bro, its been a rough journey so far lol.. I learned way more than I expected though and still learning more everyday!

Btw, the temp just jumped to 92 earlier today!! WTF.. Thats with the doors shut and a sheet covering it but still I'm going to have to do something to pull some more cool air in there or something.. It was staying really cool before but the plant is blowing up now too. I hope it only doubles in size lol, 5-6ft tall would be kind of crazy!

Pretty sure I'll have a few 5 footers by the time it's said & done, there are worse problems to have. 90 degrees or so isn't too big of a deal as long as your roots aren't hot. The floor is probably 8-10 degrees cooler than your thermometer. As long as you are watering enough you should be ok. Are you growing in a non-air conditioned room?

This is kinda subjective, but it seems like my plants grow quicker when the temps are lower. When starting some of my seedlings earlier in the season, I would regularly have lights on temps in the mid to late 80's without much problem, but now I keep them high 70's to low 80's and it seems like they are much happier.

I couldn't agree more sonar, after moving the SR males from the original cab 85+ degrees to the closet 78-83 they seemed like they loved the couple degree drop! After one night I can already see the difference from the 90+ temp! I want more light in there but don't really want to sacrifice the low temps.. Humm

i have to keep my air conditioner at 60 f. to keep my space at 75. they seem to like it. big for their age. the sacrifice seems worth it, i have a lot of light in that space. that was the only way to keep it cool enough.

Yea it sucks, my house won't get much cooler than 80 during the heat of the summer. I think the ideal time for me to grow indoors would be winter but I'll do my best this summer!

That sucks about your a/c, hopefully you get it figured out soon!

Hell yea, you know I'm down lol.. Thanks for stopping in allen and thanks for the rep, your plants look great! I can only hope to see similar results!!!

I topped the two smaller plants they have recovered nice under the 20/4 lights, I'll probably throw them in with the big girl in about 5 or 6 days, I'm hoping to transplant them tomorrow night! The other two that are in flowering, I don't think I'm going to do much with maybe some minor lsd if needed.


I just measured the big girl, 2ft:shock:

there looking good treeZ, did you get rid of the worms? hope everything goes good for them now.
Yea they seems to be doing great now! Hopefully I wont have to worry about those anymore! I changed the lights around a little today too, trying to get the temps to hold around 85 hopefully.

Good stuff, that will be nice after dealing with no a/c.

Well I've been having a little issue, I'm pretty sure it was due to the "fox farms don't bug me" because after I sprayed the plant down the leaves started to cup like in the pic..? Not all the leaves curled but a good amount of them. The new growth is fine so I'm thinking it was the spray anyone have any ideas? I havent started feeding them anything but big bloom and molasses with the ph adjusted between 6.5-6.8? They did get a light dose of grow big a couple feedings ago and I'll probably give it another light dose around week 3 of flowering like the FF schedule recommends..

I did search and another member with a similar problem was recommended it was a P deficency but his was looked a lot worse.
I am planning on getting Tiger bloom on friday so that should help if thats the case.

Here's a pic of the leaves curling/cuping.
I also added the two topped babies in so they can get used to their new spot! I'll be transplanting them in the next couple days or so to bigger pots.

Lst'd the Smaller SR in the 3 gal pot too.
