No but aeroponics are very interesting, like hanging gardens that would’ve a very cool thing to see in operation with 27 or even say 13 plants going. I wonder how big the thing is and how big of plants you could be doing. I’ve maybe never seen anything like that actually, really cool.

A couple of the big girls appear to have spider mite damage. Gonna douse them down with the oil solution I used last time. The new girls are moving slow but I just fed them for the first time Friday so they should pick up.

What evidence of spider mites have you found

The leaves on two of the plants are peppery as hell, I'm pretty certain but I will look at them with a loupe in the morning.

So yes it is confirmed that two of my plants are heavily infested with spider mites. I sprayed them down and put a fan on them. It seems to be secluded to those two plants I will keep an eye on them and if it appears to spread to any other plants I will pull those two and chuck them.

Transplant complete, they grew quick just 19 days of veg so far. I know I haven't topped them I just figure a few days ago that I need to transplant this weekend so I didn't want too much shock at once so I will top in a few days and just give them a few extra days of veg.

So this has worked for me twice, once when there was a small infestation and once when there was so many mites that you could see them from a distance piling up on the main stalk. Spray them down with one cup of water, 200 ml 9f canola oil and 2 tablespoon of Castile soap, I use dr bronners. That's it just mix them all together and spray em down under the leaves over the leaves the stalks everywhere. Stops them dead in their tracks.

Day 33 flower. I put two in the closet bc they didn't have any mites at all just a precaution, the oil is keeping them down but not irradicated on the other 4 but there's only 16 days to go I think they'll be fine.

And the babies just topped they have another week of veg maybe a few days more cuz I topped so late.

Just chopped 3 of the Sugar Black rose they look very small with long skinny buds, I think theres a few factors one being the mites the other being airflow somehow the inlet port on the tent got tied closed and there was no fresh air intake with the fan still sucking out the top. Anyways the hairs are 50% red and the tr8chomes are milky white so I chopped those 3 at just 38 days of flower breeder said it would take 49.

@Roger A. Shrubber so every crop I've had so far the leaves start yellowing halfway through flower, all the leaves, is this normal or is it a deficiency? I'm growing in soiless medium and using 7-4-11 for nutes. Could it be a potassium deficiency? They do great throughout veg and the first couple weeks of flower but after that they go downhill. I feed every other week with 1 watering in between. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

not feeding enough. which "soiless medium" are you using? if it's peat, you may be watering often enough, but not feeding strong enough. if it's coco, feed that shit every time, and water every other day, at least....

Ok yes it's a mix of peat and promix bx, I will try to feed stronger during flower next time. Thanks

keep feeding the veg regimen when you flip, till they're through stretching. in fact, bump up the strength about 20% when you flip. they're building a lot of new material, if they have to, they'll start cannibalizing, then you get the yellowing that's hard to stop.

Smoke and yield report: Sugar Black Rose Early Version by Delicious Seeds

Outta 5 seeds 4 hatched and grew 4 flimsy plants, doing well throughout veg but losing strength rapidly through flower. Theres a couple reasons for that 1. Heavy Spider Mite infestation 2. Closed inlet. The inlet port on the tent was tied shut for weeks it wasn't recognized till the last two weeks don't have a clue how it happened I have a couple friends that help out they said they didn't do it idk. Anyway so each of the first 3 plants yielded an oz 88.5 grams between them, just cut the 4th tonight will report the yield but it looks about the same.

Smoke has a very pleasant flavor kind of earthy and not so terpiney, smooth. High is mellow not strong but descent takes the edge off. It took the first 3 38 days and the 42 for the last breeder said it would take 40 not 49 as I stated earlier.

So ya I fucked up and can only blame myself for the low yield, I would say that the smoke is very good 3rd shelf.

The last sugar black rose yielded a measly 5/8 of an oz, obviously the lack of airflow had a dramatic impact on the plants theres no strain on earth that produced that low. Any way here's some pics from this morning.

Day 1 flip: 3 white rhino 1 white widow both by Canuk. All very strong healthy plants I'm gonna monster crop all 4 I'll take cuttings in 3 weeks.


Some baby marijuana. 3 northern lights auto 1 amnesia auto both by Canuk.


And 1 Afghan Kush on the left thats by World of Seeds and 1 blue cheese auto on the right that's by Barneys farm.


There's one tent vacant right now I have to clean it and the room real good and then the baby autos will go in there this weekend.

Smoke and yield report for Afghan Kush by World of Seeds:
I heard someone on here badmouthing this strain saying that it was nothing special and World of Seeds is garbage genetics, I can't speak of the yield cuz I fucked up this cycle but the smoke is phenomenal, much better than the sugar black rose and that stuff was decent. The flavor is very earthy and nothing to speak of, very bland tasting but not repulsive, smoke is a little harsh aswell. But for potency this is hands down one of the top strains I've ever grown, very strong rush of thc as you inhale immediately tell shes potent and leaves you with a heavy stone that lasts for at least an hour. Everyone was very pleased with this strain, they all like the SBR too but this Afghan knocks you out. Highly recommended for couch lock indica lovers.

The yield on the first 9ne was 25.35 grams of course I never count the popcorn with those totals, but yes I definitely fucked up and know why it yielded so low that's what happens when you put a plant in a sealed space and constantly suck the air out of it. The last one isn't cut yet it looks a little beefier but ya this is no indication of the strains potential out of 5 plants(2 strains) the highest yield was 1 and 1/8 oz they were literally growing in a vacuum I was wondering why the tent walls were sucked in so much lmao!!!! I thought it was bc the duct was clamped on to the fan not just taped on like the other tent, anyway lesson learned from now on I'm leaving every port open for as much airflow as possible.

Transplanted a few nights ago right from the 4" pots to the 7 gallon which they'll finish in.


The white rhino and the white widow 1 week after flip no hairs yet but still strong healthy plants.

And finally the Afghan Kush and Blue Cheese auto both beefing up big time and milky white trichs about ready to harvest.
