Dunno about under control tam, those mites did some damage to Delia and I had to chop her at 7.2 weeks
..... anyway will update with pics.

Heres a few pics. Delias buds after a couple of days drying, I'll be lucky to get a dry OZ from her, she potentially could have done much more but my aggressive mite treatment knocked her a bit, I trimmed away a LOT of leaf etc to save her from webbing up.

Anyway, onwards and upwards....... new plant 'Trinny' has been put straight into 12/12 to ensure future supply (I'll be happy with 14 -20g from her) and I'll focus on the Snow White clones, need to get 2 ready for 4 weeks time then let the other 2 veg up a bit for a rolling harvest during summer. I'm going with just 3 litre pots now but more of them. 50% Westlands advanced/50% perlite this time.

The clones look great tam, healthy cuttings, I can tell they will root faster that the mazar! I'd expect first roots in a round 14 days, its day 4 already. After 10 days I'll remove the plastic and place them under humidity domes, I find the clingfilm holds that humidity high for the early days.

Some pics.

, any way where do those darn things come from?

tam, I've been battling those bastards for years!! Had them in the old loft grow, was clear for a year and now they crept back again. I did get a bit lazy and stopped preventative treatment....mistake! It is possible to keep them under control but its hard to get totally rid of them in my experience without chemical pesticides...... I prefer organics. Red mites are the worst I'd say, smaller and seem to reproduce faster BUT maybe easier to eradicate. The 'black' mites can be picked off as they are bigger but seem to have more resistance to the SMC I use. I used Neem Oil for years as a preventative but ran out, the SMC is supposed to suffocate them and I think it works well, Trinnyis 100% clear but I'll keep spraying her up tp 3 weeks into flowering. Spraying can turn pistil brown but no harm done, all new pistil growth is white. The main thing is to avoid webbing on the buds.

Once a plant is cut and hung upside down the amazing thing is that every mite will climb upwards and evacuate the stalk and buds as food supply dwindles (ie the plant dries out) and you will still be left with clean buds! I took a close up once of a colony of mites climbing the string and sort of forming a large brown 'blob' right at the top.... wish I still had it to show you. They kind of climb to the highest point they can ..... you them take great pleasure in destroying them .......I'm not a violent man tam, but it gives a great feeling of satisfaction Hahah

There endeth the lesson in spider mites!!

ah i got you now cheers for writing all that i took in every word

lets hope i never run in to that problem, and that mazar looks tasty

my clonex turned up today aswell so have just re done all the cuttings.

and your plan with the perpetual grow sounds good, and if you dont mind im gonna try and do what you do, but i will prob just do it so i chop a plant every 4 weeks as an 8th last me 2 weeks so if i get 20 grams every month im laughing

any way have a good day

Its going to take me a while to get it down to 3 weeks, maybe nearer 4 to begin with anyway.

Going to be ordering a few feminised seeds soon to help build this up. I'll be happy to send you a couple in return for the clones. I fancy Blue hash and Master Kush Ideally 14 to 21g a month is what I smoke........ pretty light compared to others that I know!..... I read that Howard Marks gets through half OZ of hash a day!!!!!!!!

I bet those SW's have perked up when you look at them tonight.

That trick of sending cuts through the post still amazes me. They look fab in their little dorm
Delia's buds look good enough to eat. Happy smoking ms.

its useful to know V12 I don't know how many Exodus Cheese clones were shared passed around this way but they've travelled the country and to the USA by post! Do you recall Jeff Ditchfield sending clones to Downing Street? part of his 'BudBuddies' campaign ..... they looked pretty healthy on the news report I believe he sent one to each cabinet member.

Anyway, just started a new thread as it wont be a pure mazar thread in future,
its at:

mature goes perpetual

Hope to see you all over there
