Thank you very much for verifying this.. very helpful to know. Hard to imagine it was just coincidence that they were the only ones infected.
First time grower. LED + Hps grow in 4x4 tent

I completely agree with bubba but I can't see a branch break only causing those two to get infected if the mites were in the room

Yeah its jist really weird. I mean since the branches had broke. The growth slowed dramatically. Strains were gorilla glue #4 and grape ape. Maybe the fact they were unable to create new healthy growth fast enough caused them to be really week against fighting them off. I even took my jewlers loupe x60 and inspected leaves last night and didmt even see any eggs let alone mites. I've been treating with Azamax once a week along with a hot shot no pest strip thrown in for a day once a week. I also turn off my exhaust on those days . Also, the day after the gorilla glue started showing symptoms was when the grape ape started to show . Only a 4x4 tent so its just baffling me they didnt get to the other two.

Hey bro i was in the GG#4 thread and they were saying that the curved leaves on a GG is how to tell if u have a legit cut so that a good thing

Hmmm I don't think this was what your referring too....the buds that were near infected leaves had almost no pistils. Never grew bigger than a marble. And growth came to a halt. Grape ape showed same symptoms. I have a clone from it so I'm gonna try roumd 2 with on my next batch. As of right now I'm impressed with quicksand kush. It's sooo sooo sticky already and buds are very decent sized for end of week 3. It's grows so much faster than any other strain ive delt. With I want to do a full 4 quicksand scrog in the near future

Here's a couple pics of the og ghost train haze and quicksand kush for comparison. I know the OG GTH takes longer to flower but the difference is very noticeable first two are of train haze and 2nd 2 pics are quicksand kush

This is going to be my first harvest completely on my own. I'm curious to how my plants look for being at the end of week 3 of flower. I have been using botanicare sweet raw for sugar. Botanicare calmag plus. Roots organics Buddha grow and bloom. My outdoor girl just started flowering this week and ive been doing a trial run with general hydro organics line using bio marine and bio bud and bio thrive bloom. Feeding ever other watering. It's a sunset sherbet cut I put outside June 21st.

No I get what your saying dude. All im saying is its probably coincidence that they carry that characteristic . But if you Google russet mite damage. You will see pics of leaves curling the exact same way. If the plant wasn't infested , then it would of continues growing perfectly fine. That and grape ape had identical leaves. I never ever saw any curling leaves for the 4 weeks of veg time the gg had. Thank you for the input though man its good to know for future reference

Yeah i just said fuck it and put two outside to see if the mites would get eaten out there. Unfortunately with russet mites, by the time you see there damage. It's usually to late to do shit. They dony spindle webs and thete not visible with the naked eye. Much smaller than spider mites. Need a x60 loupe just to see them. I'm just happy 2 of them made it this far. What kinds of symptoms are you showing bro?

I get bugs on my plant but I usually leave them be. As long as my leaves aren't getting chomped on I assume those bugs are beneficial to the plant. Why else does ALL other vegetation thrive outside. Balanced ecosystem keeps threats like mites to a minimum with othee predator bugs.

What's your nutrient regimen? I'm not very experienced so take any Input of mine with a grain of salt. Given majority of the plant looks good just the select few leaves yellowing , to me it looks lile nutrient burn. Or possible PH issue. Not sure if you ever ph test your runoff to get an idea where your soil ph is sitting. What's kimd of soil are you using ?
I just got some GG#4 from expert seeds and also got gorilla bomb n cherry bomb fems can't wait to grow them out I have just popped a 12 pack of super sour deisel from hazemans and albino fire skunk OG from digital genetics there just regs but are going decent so far hope to get some fire outta these
I think I'm using promix and happy frog and I usually never test my pH this last feed I did pH to 6.4 and used this stuff called mega crop it's a powder nutes a guy on here told me about it and I got it for free just paid shipping I think it's also called geenleaf nutes so I tried it going to wait n see what happens
I was wondering if the soil I'm using isn't the problem I never have this many issues the dirt I use it's promix by Lambert or sup to be same thing as promix I mixed that will some happy frog ill have to try just some ffof by itself n see what happens I was using general organics go box and it didn't seem to work

I've been using the go box organics as well. But mostly jist for flowering. I use FFOF + extra worm castings with 20 - 30% extra perlite. hit ton extra perlite. It seems to work extremely well in all stages. The only time it burns is when I transplant my clones into soil for first time. Edges get a little burnt but the do just fine after.i don't use any nutes for first 3 and a half to 4 weeks simce thats when ffof nutrients become depleted. Are you giving them nutes every Feeding? Are you using all go box products reccomended during flowering? Bio bud , thrive bloom, calmag, bio marine ?
