Yeah... I considered the lady bugs but I want to try the spray first. I would prefer not to have to collect lady bugs from all over the house. :)

O and here's a pic of my teens. Had to chop the head off a couple of them today =)... Topping them lol.

=) ya they roam but they do work and work fast.

yours are young enough to not really be smoking the spray though so you should be cool.

Okay... Here's where things stand. I got my spider mites under control with some organic sprays.

My 6 Mother's Finest plants have vegged for 21 days and are now under the screen. I am planning to flower them for around 9 weeks,

Let me know if you have any questions. :joint::hump:

Here are today's pics... The girls are filling in the screen nicely. A couple more days of training them to the screen and then I will let them grow straight up.

Looking really good. Congrats.

I have a couple observations, though:
1) spider mites are not spiders, not arachnids. They are a species of mite, an insect. Sorry to be picky but I'm an amateur entomologist and a bit of a shit.

2) When I first saw the pic of the aerogarden I was going to say that you could easily plumb in a res so you could use that empty net pot for another plant, but it looks like you trained them to cover that area nicely. I was worried about access with my scrog too so I have a small bucket plumbed in just for that purpose.

Good luck with the rest of your grow, I'll be following along.

Aloha

Thanks for checking me out... I hope you ordered enough for everybody... Do you have any pics of your setup?

spider mites are arachnids: Spider Mites
"Spider mites (Family: Tetranychidae) are classed as a type of arachnid, relatives of insects that also includes spiders, ticks, daddy-longlegs and scorpions. Spider mites are small and often difficult to see with the unaided eye. Their colors range from red and brown to yellow and green, depending on the species of spider mite and seasonal changes in their appearance."

Spider Mites And Their Control, HYG-2012-92
Spider mites are not insects but are more closely related to spiders. These arachnids have four pairs of legs, no antennae and a single, oval body region. Most spider mites have the ability to produce a fine silk webbing. Spider mites are very tiny, being less than 1/50 inch (0.4mm) long when adults.

Looking really good. Congrats.

Here are today's pics. The plants are filling in nicely. I kept the screen much lower this time. This variety is more on the sativa side, so I hope the plants will continue to grow tall for the next couple weeks.

Hope you enjoy... :joint::hump:

Ok... today is day 6 flowering after 21 days of vegetative growth. I love how sativa continues to grow. The side branches in the middle are growing like weeds ;). I took a bunch of closer shots so you can see how the budsites are developing.

Sensi Seeds list the variety as 50 - 70 days flowering. I like to watch the trichomes and give the buds as much time as they need. I've stopped training the branches to the screen. At this point the girls can grow straight up. I have the light 18 inches from the top of the leaves.

That screen is going to be PACKED!

How many days of flower are you anticipating?
