Here are my two girls, blue coolies from crop king.







flipped to 12/12 on day 60 from seed.

Any ideas what i will yield from these two?

the light is hlg 260, its almost turned up all the way (75%ish) at 30” from top of tallest node.

any suggestions on what i should do or prepare for over the coming days/weeks? this is my first time bringing plants this far so going to be a learning experience.

So it is day 3-4 of flowering, gave the girls a haircut and they seem to be doing fine

trying to get a picture of preflowers, its a female, i topped a branch i broke on two branches 3 days before flowering, hope it doesnt hurt my yield too much.

these pictures were all taken under the quantum board





i defoliated quite a bit, no light was getting through, going to do a few more leaves after i wait a few days.

Those plants are pretty small maybe a couple oz per plant if all goes well but there's no way to guess really they might strech alot or not at all. You should turn the light up all the way 30" is pretty far you could be at 24" with Max power

I don't think it's a decency, I think it's mites. Better check under your leaves Jimmy

i did check, i defoliated a bunch of leaves and checked underneath and on top of all of them with my loupe and a led flashlight and found nothing, unless they are literally microscopic? my loupe is 40x

ok i will, i have been turning up the power a little each day, im kinda trying to get them to stretch out a little bit so they get taller, they been steadily doing a node a day though if thats good i hope

Pretty sure that's mite damage, maybe post in the 'plant problem' forum for more input because I think you got mite damage going on amigo? They're not exactly microscopic but they can be pretty hard to see. You've found no webbing yet?

Also I don't recommend defoliation unless you're cleaning out under a scrog but that's a different and much-debated topic

would i be able to see them moving? i have some sticky traps down, i did have fungus knats in the soil, i used MICROBE LIFT and it seemed to get rid of them

i have a monkey fan constantly going if that means anything

i checked the bottoms of the leaves and dont see anything, i check the plants daily

what should i do? would it be ok to spray some insecticide as a preventative just to be sure?

the dots are literally inside the new growth, what should i do

Sticky traps, fans & whatever else are not relevant to mites.

I recommend you post pictures in the marijuana plant problem forum and get some additional input before you do anything else

Google MMJ mite damage pics and see if that looks like what you've got going on?

i brought some leaves into the hydroshop and both people there said it wasnt a pest and that if i didnt see anything moving it was calmag, i thought it was thrips at first.

i had a plant outdoors fall of 2017 that got spider mites, so i have seen them before i dont see anything like that
