La Diva Grow... 1st time using autos...

insect killing soap works for keeping bugs off for up to two weeks.trying buying some at wal mart or home depot.trying buying one with mostly organic material.

From what ive been hearing about la divas you can expect to harvest at about day 70 give or take a few days. Since ur growing out doors, If bud sites are getting too heavy u can use some of those supporting rods and just tie the branch to the rod/stick. Or buy some tomato plant supports. They work well for small to medium size plants. Anyone got any other suggestions?

thanks a lot man i wish you success on your new grow.but hey i was also wonder how long can plantss go without water when average temps are 90 plus on a hot sunny day .its really back breaking work carring a5 gallon bucket up and down hills to water them. whats a good npk for flowering.and does p in npk short for potassium or phoshate?i always us black strap molasses 4 flowering

I usually watch the soil to determine when its time to water. Usually its every 3 days depending on size of plant and temp. However since using smart pots i find myself watering almost every other day. Sometimes i also lift the pot. If it feels light i kno i have to water. If its heavy i kno there still good. That comes with familiarity. You will eventually figure out what ur plant needs and when the more u do it....

On another note.... my seedlings are going strong. Got them about 4 inches from my light on a 20/4 light cycle. ... pics will be posted this weekend.

Lol i just realized i didn't answer your question... i guess how long a plant last without water in 90 degree temp depends on a few things. However from my experience, your plants are capable of handling alot and will usually bounce back from a lack of water very quickly.

My plants are indoors in a little space with 2 fans blowing constant temp of 85 degrees....My soil has great drainage and anymore than 48 hours of drought, and they get Pissed.

Hows you gal friends 808?.....I quit counting ...but shes somewhere around 65 days...pic, 4 days old. Today the main cola was huge, I
think Im going to blow off the harvest time and keep her as long as she still gaining weight, I don't care if she go's all amber. ( I love her so much and all)

My girls are doing great. All have sprouted and are looking really healthy. Their first set of leaves are coming in very nicely. One seedling still has her shell but the other four are beautiful. Ill try and get some pics up tonight...

Your girl is looking good there by the way and It filled in really nice. Almost time.....

Heres some pics

808 is right...they will bounce back. The thing with autos is, U will lose some yield because of the stress. I'll be posting final weights of 3 of my outdoor auto's in the link in my sig (first one set to be clipped in about 5-6 days) so, if you care to go through and read, U will see I really messed up and they went a week without water in smartpots (the fabric breaths, so the medium dries quicker); the medium was a SOLID, dry lump! The plants were just pathetic, VERY droopy and had NOT gained any growth. They did bouce back when I was able to get to them, but I just could not seem to take them enough water...so I ended up putting them in the swamp/marsh mud and letting them soak the water up...they really took back off real nice then, but I'll still pay for the stress I caused them. So check them OFTEN, 'till U know your plant's schedule very well would be my suggestion.

808, I had no problem seing your little gals, BTW...good luck with it. Subbed up!

Peace, Go Slow...

Looking good....I luv babies

Thanks guys. Glad to here i will be able to jus upload via my droid. Makes it soo much easier... my camera on my phone is HD so it should turn out nice. the girls are looking great this morning. The first set of leaves are just growing so fast. Nothing else to report as of now. Alohaz...

oMan that brings up a scary point. I lost 7 pics today, sending them Via android to my Screen name emai. Samsung Cameras take awsome pics compared to my camera.
Anyway my damn real name always attaches itself to outgoing pics. For some reason I cant get my laptop to pick up my data cable anymore so I send to emai;. So if you get 7 pics of Ruby in cyber space plz post em for me ,,,Last pics I ever send to email again/////

Ill be sure to look out for ruby...lol...
