Confident Enough To Post Your Failures?

Been battling mites for about a year now. Finally got rid of them using acephate as a systemic. The little fotted fucks just giggled at the first application. I doubled the dose planning on tossing the plants anyways, just so they would all choke to death on acephate.

No, I'm about to show you where the last battle occurred. I stand victorious, sweat and blood drip ominously from my torn macho man randy savage bandana, blood stained tattered shirt carelessly yet forcefully snapping in the smoke filled air as the camera pans away revealing a horde of dead mites amidst a barren desolate smoldering landscape of carnage.

Mites are dead, but at what cost? I only pray the ganja gods are satisfied with this sacrifice. Rip godfather bomb. I have commisioned a memorial to be constructed in the inner sanctuary.

Mites are the worst.

Yes they are. They will turn a decent run into a rookie grow under a single swinging CFL in a week. I tried EVERYTHING!!!!! acephate for the win, just use it before the stretch. 1 tsp/gal. That obomination was 2 tsp/gal. But it had to be done. The acephate is purged from the plant in 15 days, i wouldnt use it on a flowering plant tho.

This is from a couple of months ago, when the temps in the basement were 80° and the relative humidity was 85. Been developing a multi-hybrid of a Type 1 and a Type 4 pheno, in an effort to get a candelabra size plant with big buds, that would be more resistant to botrytis. I failed, pretty spectacularly. Got the candelabra shaped plant but the buds were small and because of their environment, bud rot was developing everywhere.

So what do I do? Douche the shit out of them with potassium bicarb in a desperate attempt to keep it from spreading, so I don't have to hack down the whole lot of them like I usually do with botrytis. This was the result:

This will definitely be for my edibles rather than my wife's vaping.
