Almost positive it’s SpiderMites. So I bought a “No-Pest Strip” , we will see how that works.

Sure doesn't look like mite damage. Not just flecks of paint from the ceiling is it?

Pest strip won't do shit to mites so you better find some mites before doing anything or flowering that girl. Nothing worse than mites at the start of flower. Will totally ruin your buds if you have to start spraying crap in the middle of flower and that's when they will go ape shit on your plant. I screwed around with those little demons for two years and finally have a bug-free crop on Day 21 of 12/12.

Look for them under the leaves with a magnifying glass or loupe. Get 'em now or they'll get you later.

Also picked up this bad boy for $5 !! Going to get a couple more 15w bulbs at the dollar store. 90watts for about $20. Looks good beside the Big Bad Blurple.

I got a half dozen of 3 and 4 bulb vanity light fixtures like that at the local thrift store years ago for 3 and $4 each. Finally made an 11 bulb fixture out of 3 of them. Going to make an outrigger type rig to have another 4 bulb strip on either side of the main one.

You can see these tiny little grey things moving around on the leaves. Just big enough to see. I’m not sure what it is. and yeah the white specks don’t look real lol but there’s more everyday I check

You better get on them but you need to identify what they are first so that you do the right thing to get rid of them.

See if you can get some Safer's End All concentrate and when you mix up a liter add 10ml canola or neem oil to the batch. Spray every 4th day for at least 3 treatments to get rid of the bugs. Sounds like thrips. The 500ml bottle of concentrate costs almost the same as the 1L pre-mixed one but makes 10L so is much cheaper and you'll need about 3L+ to get it done right with a bush like that. I got mine at Home Hardware. If they don't have it they can get it in for you in a week or less usually. Garden centers and Canuck Tire may sell it too.

You gotta soak the plant really good too or you'll never get rid of them. If you flower before they're gone you'll regret it. Put paper towel about 3 layers deep on top of the soil to catch the runoff from the sprays tho a bit of spray on the soil isn't going to hurt and will kill any that fall onto the soil surface.

Thrips, like mites, live in the canopy and don't have a soil dwelling stage to their life cycle tho do fall onto the soil when disturbed. Thrips can jump pretty good too so end up all over the place like on your clothes so change clothes before going back into the grow room between sprays.

If you work in your yard always change clothes and socks before visiting your plants as bugs will be all over your lower body but could be anywhere on you. Pets carry them in as well so no critters in the grow room!

Good luck!

Day 55 (10 since flip)

First pistil sighting today. Going to start with 1-5-7 nutes next watering. Currently watering every 4ish days.

Day 75 (30 since flip)

Finally got roots on the clones, took 22 days!

Day 80 (35 since flip)

I’m not sure if I’m over or under feeding, all I know is she’s got hardly any fans left and it’s only week 6! I gave it a good flush with tap water five days ago, not sure if it did any good or not. It needs water again now, I’m not sure if I should give straight water or maybe like 50% strength.

I think that your killing it!
As far as under feeding vs. over feeding, I think your nutes are just a touch hot. I say that because I see yellowing and tip curl through out the plant. If it was under fed, I would expect yellowing lower leaves with normal upper leaves. Just my 2 cents, take it for what its worth.

Great job!

Day 90 (45 since flip)

They’re really starting to bulk up now, everywhere I read online for Cannatonic says 10-11 week flower. I know I’m still a rookie but I just don’t see this going 11 weeks...

I’m getting some light bleaching on 2-3 tops so I moved them down a few inches from the good ol’ Blurple.

Day 95 (50 since flip)

I’m starting to get so excited lol. The candy smell is unreal!



... and yes it is sitting on a Ouiji Board lol

Day 100 (55 since flip)

Almost into week nine! I wanna chop er so bad ! Everything’s going ok, been watering with tap water till runoff every 4ish days for the last 2-3 weeks. Still getting more light bleaching on the tops. I’m using about 210watts for a 2x2 area...

Well I chopped it @ day 55. They were the densest nugs I’ve ever trimmed. I’m going to guess somewhere around 2.5oz.

5 days drying, I still think it will be about 2.5oz. It smells like hay! But it smells amazing when rubbed so I’m sure it will be fine after it gets in the jar Probably three more days of drying

Clone is finally looking good and growing normal again. Just transplanted yesterday into 2.5 gallon container with MG soil. Hoping it gives it more nitrogen to go a full 9 weeks this time.

Omg I’m so fucking pumped! Finished trimming off of stems and weighed it in at 100g even or just a little over 3.5oz!!! So with the Blurple I pulled exactly .48g/w Not great but I’m still so happy.

While trimming tonight It REEKED of citrus, which is not what we smelled at all throughout the grow. I smoked a joint tonight after we got the kids down, it smokes very well and it is extremely citrusy. I believe it is the high cbd pheno. Either way I’m very happy,
