!DISCLAIMER! I ramble at times and am easily distracted! And if I ever read as if I’m high as shit, I more than likely am. With that said Ill try and keep this thread on track and as intelligent as I can HAHAHA!

Well shit, i must be in the right place now.

You should’ve known things were going to smooth! That’s the life of a coop grower! If it is mites maybe you haven’t transferred them to the other plants yet! And if I had to spray something on my buds, it would probably be an alcohol water mix! Alcohol, evaporates, pretty good! But just talking out of my ass!

Im glass half fullin this mother fucker! I cant go to the dark side right now lol. Im going to dry this stuff and have a little bug bud to smoke on thanks for the recommendation! Most everything I could find for this flowering stage was don’t because itll linger, and like you said alcohol could evaporate better?

When I started seeing your posts around the forum I was cracking up because they are longer than mine!!! some just have more to say than others! : ) I enjoy reading through all lengths of post lol

I think the timing is a little suspect! You feed and water, and the plant starts going south! Just make sure it is mites, Before you flip out anymore!

I can type really fast and i use a full sized mechanical keyboard lmao. I also enjoy writing because its easier for me to get my thoughts out in an actually coherent way.


I dont really see any mite scabs. Usually with a bad mite infection youll get these tiny white dry scabs on the upper sides of leaves. I do see what looks like an acidic cal-mag lockout though. Got a way to test the drainage run off by chance?

I hear you. I did check further and was able to see a “black shelled looking flat thing” lots of them, not moving or scurrying though, they almost looked like eggs.

Oh I can ramble on and on with the best of them! Hahaha!

Im going to try and get a pic of what I saw and just told chucky about in my last post. I’ll try and get all around better pics in a few.

this is the result of mites feeding on a plant. They usually feed on the shaded undersides. Causes scabs on the upper sides. Small mite scabs look like this (russet, spider mites, and others)

Large mite scabs (like aphids and such) look more like this.

In pretty much all mite infections, youll see this before you actually see deficiency or deformity from them.

Not syaing you dont have mites, and that those arent eggs. Just that if you do, thats not whats causing your other symptoms.

[BearWater]

@Thatoneguyyouknow_ never answered your question about checking ph. I do have a little test, I have yet to calibrate it. That’ll be addressed after the mite issue (if it needs to be addressed lol) thanks for your input!

Looking at the black dots and searching around the web I’m starting to think they are aphids! Either way the plant is in life or death isolation on the coop porch for now

 

[Oldchucky]

A few aphids don’t taste bad either! Gives it character! Hope you get it figured out!

Thanks chuck kinda like the worm at the bottom of the liquor bottle!

I’m just trippin on her sitting on the porch all by herself. If she didn’t have mites before tonight she’ll sure have them now! Wondering if I should just chop and dry and cut my losses. I’m so over this grow lol!

 

[Oldchucky]

No, don’t be hasty! Decisions like this shouldn’t be made when you are under duress! Can you just hose it off and finish it under the sun? Don’t do anything you might regret in the morning!

 

[Oldchucky]

Yeah, maybe it’s time you took a break! It’s not good to be talking you down off of a ledge already!

Well said! Yeah I’m going to try and get some ladybugs tomorrow. Still looking into a spray of sorts. Thanks for the grounding chuck!

still on the porch?
looks like crap of something (something is definitely living on them) but no mites

The learning curves are fun @BearWater, chucky probably got the best call for your situation. I've not used it but sounds like a safe call for the stage your in
