one week after being tied down under the 400 mh...good growth n healthy color. these Headband are responding well to the undercurrent sustem and nute change. great plants for lst.
im going to give a hard trim for two reasons.
1 mite eradication, i found eggs on some leafs. no live mites after spraying, but eggs are future problems,less eggs less problems.
2 im just a controll freak lol, i want to make sure every bud site has the same opportunity.lots of new sites popping up that look real promising.
im giong to trim up give them a day or two then flip. looking for a thanksgiving harvest....

hey 4tatude looking real good. I had a major problem with mites when i tried to "resitate" a dying house plants and inadvertanly gave my room spider mites in the process. What worked for me was taking showers more often, changing clothes more often, do your grow room duties before you go outside, spray azamax every 5 days for at least 4 weeks, cut out any leaf with infestation, smash those fucgers with your fingers. just make sure you wash your hands afterwards lol.
The Azamax doesnt kil the eggs but SNS 217 does and its organic. The SNS is a little spendy but its good stuff. Haven't had a mite problem for a long time. Now i try and preemptively spray my veg/clone/flower rooms every 30-45 days as a proactive measure now.

MAJOR TRIM...
i did a maj trim on the girls, looking at the pic it looks like i went back a week or so to where they were tied down. they will blow up n be so full of bud sites after this trim n hopefully my mite problem will be easier to solve. i wanted to flip today but im going to give a few to get their feet back under before flip.
these girls are going to fill the space to max capacity in no time... im excited to get the show on the way!!!

just sprayed again with mitacide, i think im good to go as i didnt see any mite damage on the folage that was left. im t6hinking 2 more treatments 5 days appart will completely eradicate the mites. fingers crossed lol. the girls are popping bud sites everywhere n filling in fast. the node lengths have shortened up with the mh just 12in off the canopy. i will do one more tie down this w/e n flip. this should be a killer grow...
note: ph has been rock steady @ 5.8 n nutes are @ 600 n holding..i added 5 gallons to the system with pre mixed nutes n ph set the same as what they were running. i think i will run the veg nutes the first week of flower then change over. will allow me to get 3 weeks from the nutes before dumping.

Im really happy with the way these Headband plants are doing. They are very easy to maintain n dont require a lot of attention. they respond well to training and arent pickey with their environment. They are happy with the Botanicare nutes and have a sweet spot @ 600+/-ppm at this time.
Im going to give them another week or so before flipping, since i have the supports in place i might as well use them lol. as you can see the floor of the tent is almost covered already. im going to put a second 600 in the tent this run so we should see some phenominal bud growth. My understanding is the cross light will create more n bigger buds than a single that is not reaching some areas. the increase in lumins alone will be worth it but the cross lighting is supposed to be phenominal... we shal see...

thanks mineralz glad your back lol, they are great plants to work with, looking forward to seeing what they are capable of...Supz maneBeen offline for awhile, but I'm back now lulz. Just browsed what I missed and the Headband looks dope!
thanks bc... whats wrong with yours? know how the work thing is np i knew you were busy.. wish i did have them under controll, the heat wave we are having has me worried. been putting a 1ltr frozen watere bottle in 2 times a day to keep temps down. going to start h2o2 tonight just in case. that should hold them till it cools back down. still havent finished up the chiller we were talking about. need to but like you time right now is at a premium.
