Damn! That's an aphid-eating machine!
If I don't know the answer I will find it for you.

well newbie answer for newb q...Not to step on the more experienced growers, but I wiped out a whole generation of aphids on my plants (and on everything else in my garden) with 8.99 worth of ladybugs from a garden shop 5 minutes from my house. Just put them out on moist soil at the base of each plant right at the end of the day when it's almost dark. Mist the plant and the soil first. They'll cluster on the plants for the night, then wake up with the munchies like me. Once your plants are clean, they fly away.
And newbie question for you: how are you in flowering outside at this time of year? Did you use dark bags?
i donno. got some bag seed from friend, around 3 months ago and planted 10. 4 males. 6 hermies. they "autoflowerd" after a month [though i really dont think the were autoflowers- we have very bad pot culture here, just **** weed] and i decided to keep them, since i had NO true female. i really did nothing to make them flower...another thing- we are less of a consumer culture as well- so i know i cant find prying mantas eggs... will try and find ladybugs...
thank for the help u guys. if you have any other ideas i'd be happy to hear them

Just 1 egg is all you need they even eat eggs for anything around plus mealy worms and any other pest that could possibly bug your plant. They kill ants too but I'm not sure if they eat them lol

Each plant is different and I couldn't accurately answer that question without every bit of information I could get. Is it indica dominant or sativa? Is it a colorful plant or plain? Are you using extra perlite in your mix? Are you using a 24/0 or 18/6 or something between? I wouldn't be able to give you much on how fast "your" plant will grow because I don't have your set up. If you had a 250 MH over them they would have a new set of leaf every couple days. If you have a 1000 watt MH then you can almost watch it grow... If you have cfl it will be 2-3 days between sets of leafs.

I'm sorry but is this going to continue all the way through your grow? lol I told you I can't answer those questions because they depend on your plant and its genetics.

I understand completely. Just have to have patience. If you want to know or learn about the plants all you have to do is read. Find someone's journal that resembles yours and read through it. See what kind of success they produced.

It all depends on what you grow in and how you grow. If you were hydro I would say fox farm would be my top choice if you went soil I would say all organic or B'Cuz for a good grow
I can't really answer that 100% accurate without better information but I can give it a shot. First I will ask my questions:
What are you growing in (media)?
How are you growing? (lst, sog, scrog, topping, no special way)
The 150 watt hps can be within 3 inches if you have a decent fan so that's not a concern of mine. (at least not yet)
What nutrients / supplements are you using?
How much of the plant is effected? I saw "top half of my pineapplethai looks dry" but is it 50% of the top?
How often do you water?
How hot is it in there? Day? Night?
I can give you a quick (un accurate I'm sure) run down of a couple ideas I have of what this could be. It could be too hot in there, could be too close to the lights if you don't have good circulation, could be a burn of some sort but unlikely, could be root rot, could be bugs, or it could be a couple other things. Give me more information and I will be able to give you better answers
