Five weeks old and the first week of flowering is through. Still not 100% sure of their genders, but I'm confident that they're females.

Poor mint is developing some kind of burns on her leaves. I'm fairly certain this is because of the alcohol I've been spraying on them. The mite infestation is under control, but it's still there. I've been misting them with rubbing alcohol and soda water every two or three days. Oddly, Mint seems least effected by the mites.

A4 is handling the misting perfectly well, but she seems to be the favorite target of the mites. I'm certain they're coming from the Swazi though. Because it's been kept low and bushy, it's harder to get all the nooks and crannies.

A4 is 25cm tall.
Mint is 23cm tall.

The clones I took are still alive and doing well, however I've got a new threat in my home. Mold. A white mold is covering the top of the dirt whenever it's the least bit moist. This mold is in all of the pots in all of my house. However, the mold doesn't seem to be doing anything to my plants, so I'm still looking into the matter. All of the clones cups have the mold. It's coming down to a waiting game to see if the mold will effect the plants, or if will turn out to be benign.

If anyone has tips for mold or any more specific ideas of what could be burning poor Mint, let me know.

And here are some pictures.

1. I live in China.
2. The seeds came from bags of dirt weed.
3. My dealer said the weed was from Guangzhou, which is where a lot of marijuana in China comes from. Like Mexico for the US, but in the same country.

I doubt that a Chinese guy is going to order seeds from Europe, when there are plenty of good strains growing wild down where he is.

Now thats gotta be one of the stupidist things i've EVER heard....

Grow it out in veg - study the shit out of it if you want.... but then flower it too and at least have the possibility of smoke... whats the point of going through the risk just to watch a ganja plant NOT get you stoned.

fucking hell

Why flower it at all... just kill it now!!!!!

ganjman, that was probably a typo. I meant to say that I intend to let them veg for four weeks. I'm going to let them flower for as long as they need. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Unfortunately, due to the plants being too completely fucking different, my attempt to study lighting will have to wait for another grow. I've got about 200W of CFLs in my closet, and I've flowered with them before, so I have no doubt that I will get some decent smoke out of this. It's not dank by any means, but a HID light and ballast are just not options at the moment.

Sorry for the drama.

any growth between branches yet? im sure you have stipules by now but you havent seen any pistils or balls forming right. i did some research and i guess it takes a whole 3 years to grow good sized peyote caps, so i guess you can either eat premature caps before you go (make it a week before you go, cuz if you take it the night before youll go crazy on the streets of china, i can imagine having a spirit journy and forgeting you were going somewhere). good luck with your plants man they look good, you have a strong sativa and an indica/sativa mix goin on. good work on the lst, i cant even see where the stem comes out of the pot
