This yield took a little hit. I can only blame myself. In haste I transplanted into my 150g before making sure it was dialed in and established and a poor mix on the neem seed meal cooking off didn't help. They then had to be pulled out and put into 10g containers. Plant stress allowed infestations which were taken care of as they showed but I'm playing wack a mole at this point.
I acquired broad mites which I can only suspect came in some fox farms OF from my last grow. I am on the east coast and this was my only product sourced from good old Humboldt. The good old USA gov't still using biological warfare...let me explain...the bastards were brought from china by the DEA as they are very effective at killing cannabis and no conventional products available were effective.
I then sent them into flower but I should have given more treatment time to achieve full erradication.
Also I've learned don't use cheap lowes bought neem products. Not all neem is created equal. I now have
dynagro neem oil and neem.resource karanja cake for biweekly root drenches.
Nonetheless I had to chop my bubblehead. All hairs turned and ambers were popping up everywhere. Damn broad mites caused it. The Afghan cow and mazar are chugging along. Kicking fresh hairs and oozing more resin.
Broad mites are showing in my 150g but they just came out of cloning. I applied a
neem oil. I'm not worried because I beat them down in a short time. I will veg for 6 weeks to give myself plenty of time to make sure to achieve full erradication.
I have learned neem is the silver bullet because once neem was no longer an option the BORG dug in deep. I will be trying this run with only neem/aloe/protect foliar sprays weekly along with kelp/karanja root drenches biweekly.
