he is pretty sure its not mites, im just trying to show him why i thought it might be mites. and that they are really small so may have overlooked them. i dunno tho i seem to be the only one who thinks the leaf damage looks like spider mite damage so i am probally just talking out my ass.

I bought some neem oil today, sprayed some on the soil and pot.

Well bro I'm not saying he has mites but I see what ur saying cause s'mites do damage like that tho, but also if there are knats n Lil other mites lady bugs will eat em, watch out though cause my lady bug.. The bastard cmitted suicide lol... Found stuck n fried on one of the lights haha... Put alil cup of water... So it don't get too dry... Neem oil is good I always wondered if u could put it on plastic m put it over ur soil n if it can attract the bugs rather then drenching the plant in it

Day 87 with 38 into flowering. No new issues. Soil still moist, I might water tomorrow. The branches are getting heavier and bending( hope they'll not break) Monday ->pics

thanks man, I sprayed a little yesterday and to be honest, this morning I've seen just a small amount of gnats...we'll see, I'll keep you updated. I bought the neem oil from some health shop and they had 3 different types. One was a cream second was a spray (was containing alcohol) and the 3rd was this oil. It's not only neem oil, it has some eucalipt in it, And from what I read , it is for head lice and to prevent mosquitoes from biting. So I guess bugs don't like this thing...and it appears it's working.

Awesome bro..... Can't wait for the next pics.... U ever take care of your weight prob? I used to tie strings fr the top of my cabin to the plants.. Lot of other things u cAn do tho... O was jus too lazy n had some extra fishing string...

day 88 with 39 into flowering, she is the same, no new issues. Soil is still moist so I will postpone the watering. Monday I'll be in the 6th week of flowering. I guess my next watering will be with nutrients and after that I'll continue only with water and flushes to get out of the system the nutrients for another 1-2 weeks and that was it. The portable microscope will arrive Monday so I'll see what's all about then.

that's good to hear...almost there buddy!!! wooohooo

Day 89 with 40 into flowering. She is the same. The soil is still moist so I will not water her today. The hairs are getting browner and browner with each day. Tomorrow...pics! I am very excited about the new toy that will come(the microscope). The ph is somewhere at around 7.5 and the temp is 22 constant during the day and during the night is dropping to 20. I am not seeing gnats flying around anymore, I've seen one on the soil and I sprayed some more of that miracle neem oil

sweet ......can't wait to see her

I'll try to do some good quality macros

Day 90 with 41 into flowering. She is surviving. Soil started to be dry. I will water her today. I've prepared 4.5 liters of water with nutrients and some Canna Calcium and Magnesium salt. Soon, today, I will take some pics. Otherwise, I am waiting for the microscope, hopefully today it will come.

some pics from today Please comment and as I was telling, the microscope hopefully will come today, but what do you think? how much longer?

lookin great perk! frosty as hell and i see those hairs turning a pretty brown. if you get a chance, show me which scope you got and let me know how it works for ya. appreciate it. peace be the journey brother.

My personal opinion man, maybe another couple weeks. Still looks like she's maturing. Once lime comes back, I'm sure he might know a little better. Doing great though

off topic the word kief, the etymology of it found it on wiki, very nice

"According to the Oxford dictionary the word "kif" derives from Arabic: كيف kayf, meaning well-being or pleasure."

Awesome bro buds are starting to full out now...id say at least another week or so...when all the hairs stop growing ( new white ones ) , and turn red/brown...you know she is almost done still got at least another week...check with scope when it comes ...you want all cloudy trichomes ....none clear!

then when she has all cloudy trichomes....and ready to harvest....you can chop the top half of your Beast and let the bottom finish up, if the bottom buds are still small, you can let them finish another week to allow them to fill out... to get the most out of your Monster!!!
