Things are heating up, literally. In the 100s the last several days, and not cooling off much at night. Having some minor electrical issues that was causing a circuit to fail. I say minor only because I've caught it happening and have been able to correct things through a workaround, but it's no long term fix. It could have been disastrous otherwise.

The garden is hard charging on full-tilt-boogie as this point. Stinking up the joint and oozing and leaning all over the place. It's a full on flop fest for sure. Tomorrow marks day 49, and I'm giving the kushes (woody, bubba, and OG) another week. Seeing some amber trics here and there.

Speaking of trics, I picked up a 16x jewelers loupe at Hobby Lobby that is perfect for tric inspection.

Here is a link:

And a 40% off coupon:

Came out to about $9, and decent quality.

Hope everyone had a good weekend, and those that made it to the cup had a blast.

Fuck. Shit. Shit fuck. I have hemp russet mites. I attacked with mighty wash and will repeat in 3 days. Everything I've read says they're the worst thing ever. But I've also found peoplewith small gardens that have successfully controlled them with mighty wash. I used about a half gallon on 6 plants. That's a shit load. I broke a branch off the bubba in the process. It's ok, it's another sacrificial tester. Back to the russet mites and mighty wash. I'll hit them with mighty wash again in 3 days, then with power wash in 3 days, then it's harvest.

I have confidence that all is not lost for a few reasons. This does not seem to be an extreme infestation. While I found them on all the plants, there were not a lot. The plants all looked healthy, I just saw a leaf with browning in the center so I decided to scope it. Lo and behold, hemp russet mites. The only thing the plants are doing is their normal fade, but that does not seem rushed or abnormal. So I'll do my best and hope for the best. Wish me luck.

its only a frequency charged water. no chems or anything in it. dont have to worry about residuals fucking up your flavor.

bigcheese510 said:

yes it is a liquid. just pour it in your sprayer and go to town. obviously you want to avoid the buds but you just spray as usual for spider mites.

I do think the 16x is good for trics. It's really hard to hold steady. Generally I find it easier to cut off a small leaf and look at it on a flat, lit surface. I think the 20x loupe has a light built into it.

I also have a 45x macroscope with a usb camera that I spent a grip on a while back and can't get to work. :(
