Today was awFUl! i found out i had spider mites over pretty much everything. i thought it was hot spots or speckling from heat stress. i spent literally 5 hours today hosing them all down with hot water, spraying the plants w/ copper soap and lime sulfur then hosing it again with hot water..
there are some pics of the damage

sidenote:the sulfur smelled so strong the bitches from downstairs thought something died and were gonna call my landlord

so i've been absent from this site for a couple days because the mites are back! and the problem doesn't just exist in my closet anymore so literally half my day is spent cleaning these fuckers off. I bought some insecticide from the hydro store and some neem oil. sprayed the plants with the insecticide, sit for 15 min hosed them down with COLD water and sprayed them with a neem oil/soap concoction the hydrostore guy told me to make(obviously knew i was growing weed). i went back several times and realized a portable a/c was out of my price range. So i managed to fit a real small window one and put that shit on full blast!!!! and now my veg which was hi 80's is now hi 60's and my flowering room which was hi 80s is now somewhere in the low 70's.. I cleaned my plants yesterday, steriled the room and decided to leave my plants in 24hrs of darkness to prevent mite reproduction. during this time i've purchased the A/C so i'm sure it's in the 50's rightnow... hopefully this will do.:hump:


ps: dont worry the bud looks great, the leaves are speckled a little but no giant gashes in the leaves

fuckin damn pests!
yea they're awful, you dont even notice them until they're a serious problem... i checked the temps in the flowering today and it's 81 deg. w/ 30perc humidity day... and 66deg w/ 40per hum night.. i think my meter thing might be broke.. i'm misting lightly throughout the day even though my plants are flowering because mites like hot and dry places.... where the fuck are the cooltubes when you need em?

So i'm pretty sure the mite problem is under control i've been misting atleast 7 times a day. I placed a bigger plexiglass sheet that literally fits my flowering room which brought the temps down some. today it was kinda of cool so i'm trying not to use the a/c temps range from 76-84 day and still 66 at night
over the past 3 days i cut round 9 down and added another 13 from the veg(the grapefruit, and this Oregon shit i harvested also which freed up that space) here's how the Blueberry came out(i wasn't done trimming when i took some of these pics so calm down)

Nice work. How where you watering these? Spraying everything or watering every individual cup one by one?
