Thanks all, I fight an ongoing mite battle, most of the visible damage is old news. I kill em all, they come back after a month or so, repeat. At this point I just use an organic nicotine spray every week or so, or whenever I see a new leaf looking chewed.
Doc, I agree 100% on the deleafing thing. I experimented, it bit me in the ass, my wife said "I told you so," and now I know better. I still have a few that were pruned once, but they've recovered pretty well, should produce decent. I do like to let my lower buds ripen up for a week if I have the space for em, been thinking about defoliating in the last week of flower, since the buds are pretty much formed by then. I don't know, might be a while before I try it.
On the clone note, I do have an interested local dispensary who said to contact them in a few weeks when they're ready to order. Yay!
