Multi Spectrum T5 Veg and Flower with Flood table and Tent-First Grow.

how did you get them inside your grow room? I thought they were only outside?

Hmm, I've never seen a spider mite that close, but I guess that's what it is. I wouldn't screw around with those guys, if it really is spider mites. They can take over your grow in no time. Believe me, I know. I dealt with them for a year before I fully eradicated them. If you need tips on how to get rid of the bastards, let me know. I'm a decorated veteran of the spider mite wars.

Well I started a thread--and a lot of people are suggesting they aren't spider mites--what they are--no one seems to know.

https://www.rollitup.org/bugs/342980-i-guess-spider-mite-just-2.html

But so far I haven't seen any on my plants--usually around the vincinity--they seem especially interested in water with nutes.

So as far now--I have no reason to believe they are a threat. I'll just keep an eye on my plants.

Thanks YGrow

@napa---Im thinking they are getting in through my window which is also a big part of the ventilation system for my grow room...but I haven't seen any in my grow tent...and I've looked as hard as I could.



So'we'll see.

I have only 2 weeks or so til harvest come this Wednesday. Even if they are mites they won't have time to really cause an infestation within that time.

haha yeah man good luck, should be a good harvest.

Well here we are...heading into the 6th week explosion.

I think I have some nice whiting. Funny (again) how this strain is more Sativa. You'd think with this kind of white it may be more a Indicta---or at least that would be my inexperienced take on it.

Well what can I say other than this is almost porn. This is a very exciting first grow. I just hope these buds put some weight on in the next week or so. But if not--Im okay with that too---I just want something to smoke.

You maybe interested to know that I haven't smoked Jack-Shit since I started this grow--so hopefully that will make the harvest all the more sweet!

My last toke was in Feb/2010

Extra pics...(my day off--you know how it is)

Awesome and Welcome.

I have roughly 14 days left til harvest (more or less) plus curing and smoke review...but enjoy your stay.

awesome man...Im about to start my first grow...I am using T5 VHO Lamps - 7200 lumens - 95 watts each. 4ft x 8 tubes. Thats almost 60k lumens total and 800 watts. I am going to flower with T5 VHO 4ft' Spectralux 3000K and using the 6500 Spectralux to veg....Think that'll flower ok? lol...I cant wait to see your results...You know the naysayers all say this wont work "right" flowering with flourescents...I think they may be wrong...lol

To each their own. As the sayin goes. I just recently bought a T5 four footer with 2 3000k and 2 6500k 54watts each. Just trying to see what the deal is with um. So I have three bag seedlings and five Auto + Fem Bubblelicious I am doing also..

I must say I never seen those before.

I think you'll have awesome results. Lumens don't lie--I hope you start a grow journal--if you do I'll definiately sub!

Our buds my not be the size of footballs--but for the value we get from saving in electrical--it will be worth it. We also get great coverage--so we should grow more over the diameter that one cascading light.

Let me know when you set up--Im ready to sub my man!!!!

yes I will start a journal...Im lookin at 2 or 3 weeks to start...

I have had very good experiences with spectralux bulbs. The plants I am growing in my small t5 cabinet setup are much larger and healthier than the plants ever where under HPS!

Thursday is a res change (my last with nutes)

Then the following Tuesday will be a 36 hour water flush and then 48 hours of Darkness then Harvest.


These will of course be subject to change as we get closer to July 14th (8th week)--so we'll see how the next week goes.

But we are getting close

I snapped a Bud Bearing Branch by accident when cleaning my res. I used a popsicle stick, some string and some tape to reassemble it. Im told it will repair the branch--I hope it does.

How large was the branch? The smaller, the better, though I've had plants that have broken major stems still come back, although not so late into flowering...

well it was a main branch of the main stem--so it was fairly big Im afraid--but with 5 days left til harvest (and I believe they are on schedule)-I'll smoke it if it doesn't recover

But it seems okay... so far so good

Not quite the 8th week...but only a couple days shy.

I think my plants won't be ready to harvest Wednesday...I say this because the trich's are quite brown on my main buds.

But they could change at anytime...so I'll be keeping an eye (or microscope) on them.

Other than that--they are being flushed with regular water til harvest. Once I see it's gett ready...they will be in the dark for 36 hours til it's time to chop'em.

Looking good, bro. Doesn't look like a ton of weight, but what you have is definitely chronic. Things should just get better and better, going forward.

Agreed- this first grow has kind of been a wash for me. Too much nute burn, and uneven sized plants hurt a lot. But for me... I should have a ton to smoke and I (finally) have my first grow under my belt and a couple of nice clones.

I've really learned alot--not just about growing...but about myself too.

It's all about lessons learned that can then be applied to future successes.
