[SlimSim]

So far, we're in the middle of a terrible heat wave. Just typing this message makes me sweat! Should be GOOD

Taken 2 minutes ago.

Also an update on the indica plant, which is still only in preflowers.

I did a shot so you can see how fucked up my plants really are. The stalk is completely curved.

Also, on the bud macro pic, on the leaves there are some small white dots, any1 knows what that could be for?

Overall, I'm more than pleased with my sativas and can't wait to see more of what they have to offer

The white dots could be thrips; if it's just one or two leaves, you're probably OK, but I would definitely keep an eye on it. If you weren't so far along, I would recommend spraying neem oil or pyrethrum over the whole plant. You could spray anyway, just try not to spray the buds. Both of these are natural products and won't kill you if you do get it on the buds, but you don't want to alter the taste. If you spray, hit the soil as well.

those sativias are looking nice man, im supprised they already started to flower expecialy since their outdoors.

 

[chitownsmoking]

i dont see any indicas there?

 

[SlimSim]

first picture is indica.

thrips? What is that? Only a few leaves show the white dots.

 

[chitownsmoking]

thats not an indica or it would be blooming already.

 

[Blueberry2008]

hey man nice pics they are doing pretty good dude nice buds!!

 

[SlimSim]

The white dots on the leaves kept expanding and today, I had to spray my girls with soap based insecticide in order to control the situation. I'm not sure wheter it'S spidermites or thrips, but I have a question . How oftewn should I spray them and or can I manage to "wash off" the buds coming to harvest time (in a month I'd say) so they don'T taste like crap.

+rep for help!

Yo I live in the Northeast as well man my Sativas def. don't look as good as yours. I've only been flowering for 1-2 weeks at the most (I think). This is what mine look like. The last 2 are indicas though

 

[SlimSim]

Fresh pictures!
The indica is now officialy flowering. Sativas are doing great, I added some macro bud shots for your eyes Also, some of the flowering ferts I'm using.

Today's update ain't as pretty as I'd like it to be. I went on a little trip so I had to leave my babies for a couple days (God I missed 'em!, I'm used to take a look at them every hour or so )

I came back, noticing that the bugs also did... The smallest sativa plant is yellowing heavily and the bigger one is turning ... purpleish... I don'T know wtf is going on lol. The smaller sativa did have a more severe bug infestation , I had to spray it again today so there's no way I'm going to harvest any time soon (I figure I still have 4 weeks at least). I posted some pics of the bugs, maybe some1 can identify 'em for me, At first I thought they were white flies, but I'm not sure anymore.

The Indica hasn't has any insect problems, all my plants are fed with the same nutes. Any ideas why one of them is doing so badly ?

 

[maurice*del*taco]

your doing something right keep it up

 

[thehunter]

Those bugs look like spider mites to me.
I would recommend Doktor Doom's Spider Mite Knock out insecticide plant spray.
It comes in an aerosal can and says it's safe for tomatoes and vegetables up to 2 days before harvest.
It says ok to to spray every 7 to 10 days.... maybe try this a couple of times before you harvest.

 

[califarmer85]

hey man i havnt been following but everything looks goos. the yellowing is just nature taking its course. As the plant begins to mature in the flowering period the leaves naturally die off. So your going to have to look into the buds and check the trichs. You have a sativa crossed with a very fast flowering indica. man my sativas are just starting to flower and yours are finishing up. just keep an eye on her and once the pistsils begin to recede into the calyx, leaves die off, and the trichs are 50/50 chope her down. and flush a week or two before you havrest.

Since you have a small number of plants/leafs, you might want to try getting some rubber gloves, and literally squishing the bugs and their eggs. I would use what ever spray solution you got, spray them girls down, and then try and go over every leaf with your thumb and index finger, squishing the living, and unhatched eggs. Maybe look up a good water/alcohol mixture, and dunk your fingers in it as you do it. Hope i helped a little!

Mad respect, Those things look like monsters. Especially that last one you posted... That bulky fuckin monster nugget with thin arm leaves, I mean talk about aesthetically pleasing. I gotta hear the trip report of the first sample of one of these plants!
