New member here from the Ann Arbor area. This year's crop will be the 6th. I grow high CBD low THC strain. The strain I use is something from Ice River Genetics. It is called Snake Oil. My first grow was very successful. They have gotten worse each time. I keep getting infested with spider mites. I am doing a reset this year and hopefully, with proper steps, I will avoid the spider mites and have a good harvest. I am going back to doing what I did the first year with some new things thrown in. I have a 4x4 tent. I am growing 4 plants. (3 snake oil, 1 blue dream) I am almost to the point of putting up a scrog net. I have already topped 2 of the plants. I also removed the bottom three levels of branches leaving 4 levels on one and 5 levels on the big plant. Two of the plants are not growing as fast as the other 2. They are developing, but they are behind the others. I am 2-3 weeks from starting the flowering stage. I have a second scrog net that I will use during the budding stretch. Oh, and I already have nute burn so I am trying to work that out also. I am using new nutes and was following a recipe I got from youtube growers. More on that later.

I am in Ypsi Twp. More people know Ann Arbor than Ypsilanti. That is why I said Ann Arbor area. Just found out Grow Show is closed, sad.....

Hello @JimfromA2! Welcome to the farm!

I lived in Ann Arbor while I was doing graduate work at the U of M. That was many years ago. I suppose the place has changed a lot. I lived near the offices of Car and Driver magazine and loved to see all the cars they were testing. I still have friends who live in the area.

I lost a crop to spider mites last summer. The one thing I didn't try that I wish I had was predator mites. If I ever see those damn creatures again, I'll use predator mites for sure.

All I can say is incorporate a IPM program of some sort. Weekly sprays predators and traps so you can see a problem before it's a problem. If you wait until you have a problem trust me it will be a problem
