Hey Farm... So my Dad and I are a few weeks into our first grow. We have been acting as sponges, taking in all advice/information we can get from here at the Farm, and from a few friends we both have, who have been growing successfully for a few years now.
We build the rooms this fall/winter, and were able to get it up and running a few weeks back. We aquired 6 GSC clones that looked happy and healthy when we planted them. They were in Solo cups in a perlite soiless mix. They are now in rockwool. 3gal pots.
We have been fighting to get our Humidity up since Day 1. And wondering if this is the key role in what is happening with our plants, or if we have other problems. Our rooms holds at approx. 50% RH.
The Plants seem generally happy, growing noticeably every day. But we are still noticing a few leaves here and there curling with brown spots.
As I stated above, we did find mite eggs on our plants, but have yet to find any actual mites, or any webbing. We did 3 sprays of Mighty Wash, 3 days apart, but were still noticing new eggs. We then were referred a systemic mite killer from a friend, what he uses. I unfortunately don't know exactly what it is called at the moment, but he called it doominator. That was fed 3 days ago. And so far, no more mite eggs.
I will end with a handful of pictures I took of some of the leaves... Hoping that you guys might be able to shine some light on what we have happening. Thanks very much!
Also... if you need anything else: More info, more or better pics... please, LMK, i will take as many as I need, and get any information you may need, to help us out. Thank!
