Thanks man! Yeah, she's starting to foxtail, and it looks like the majority of her bulking up is done.

Well, it's been a while since I showed you guys the garden, so I snapped a few pics
It's funny because I keep taking plants out of the tent, but it's still almost full 
. It's sort of screwing up the schedule I imagined, haha. The Tree of Life still hasn't shown sex, either that or it's been too long since I've seen a male in person and it's not obvious yet....... hopefully something soon. Here's the whole garden:
The Dr. Grinspoon in the front is looking super tasty She still has a long way to go, but I'm looking forward to it. She doesn't look like the pics I saw on the interwebs though, so idk what to think about that. Any comments? I didn't really see anything about phenos, but then again, I didn't look too hard.
Here's the canopy view:
Here's a frost shot on the Dr. Grinspoon:
And here's a frost shot of the GTH#1. She's really looking good, better than the cup girl:
And I decided to upgrade the CXA3590 2700K chip to the CXB3590 3000K chip. Should be coming in the mail next week. All I have to do is unscrew the holder, wipe the heat sink clean with EtOH, and slap the new COB in place. Should take about three minutes

Well, it took a few years to happen, but I've got big problems: spider mites. No webs yet, but I see the little assholes. Working the issue; will report back when it's resolved. Going to try adding some predatory bugs to the tents first, then will upgrade natural, then non-natural miticides. O_O

aloe / silica ( pro tekt) will get rid of them in 1-2 applications. or go rinse off each leaf in the sink or shower or with a pump sprayer with enough pressure. the gallon size ones are good..

care to elaborate any on the aloe/silica? I'm not too keen on putting them in the shower.... two are in heavy flower(actually very little infestation on these), and one is just starting to show pistils(heaviest infestation). I did take everything from the veg tent and tried to rinse them in the shower.
I have read about the habanero pepper spray too. Any thoughts on that? I decided to try Amblyseius fallacis first. Will be here Tuesday. Ideally, I need to do something right now or tomorrow, but it's late at night so tomorrow at the earliest.

You can try what hydroot said to slow them down, then unleash this on them:
https://hydro-gardens.com/product/neososeiulus-californicus-500-5p369b/
I have used them from that source and have had no mite issues since. It is important that they come fresh (those are drop-shipped straight from the grower of them in oregon)
Once they run out of mites to eat in your tent they will just continue on eating them all up around your house and property. Plus it is very cool biowarfare kind of shit to get out your scope and watch them in action!

Is it safe to spray the buds? Do you really soak em down good, or use a light mist? Thanks man, I will try this tomorrow, then hit them with the predatory mites.
I was looking at that kind and went with the Amblyseius fallacis. Think they will work?
Here's a copypasta from the website:
Target Pests: Two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), European red mite (Panonychus ulmi), Spruce spider mite
(Oligonychus ununguis), Southern red mite (Oligonychus ilicis), Bamboo mite (Schizotetranychus celarius)
I was hoping this would be the best option...fighting mites with mites. I don't really want to use anything that's very toxic. I'd rather throw the plants out, tbh.
I bought them from evergreengrowers.com. They sound pretty hardy and bad-ass as far as predatory mites are concerned.

I try to just spray the leaves. Just hold each leaf on your hand sort of and spray. Strong mist a little pressure. I do drench the leaves.
also up the humidity. Spider mites do not like humidity.
if the buds get wet. Just shake the plant like outdoor that gets rained on..

I am not familiar enough with mites and all the species to say on those but if that is the description and they arrive in good health you should be in business.
Only issue I could possible see with that species is this:
"Adult females enter diapause in response to the short days in the fall (less than 14 hours of daylight). They stop reproducing and move into sheltered areas, such as under bark or ground cover. They do not enter diapause in greenhouses or interior plantscapes if the temperature is 64°F (18°C) or above."
Not sure what to make of that, you have short days but also warm temps inside

I read that too. Since it's summer, it doesn't ever get even close to 64F in the tent, so I was hoping that they'd be okay. They will definitely be okay in the veg tent.

Ya, keep us posted how that species does for you. This kind of info is golden IMHO

Will do... also, I'm running 13/11 in the flower tent, so hopefully that will help them be okay if the temps do get that low for some reason.

How far are you into flower? spider mites are a bitch too eradicate..............Hyroot's advice is solid, your last organic option would be sulfur sprayed or burned, kills everything and is an irritant obviously. Local organic farms use it successfully , but not on cannabis. tough call going chem, even food crop approved with a product we inhale......wish you luck friend.

Any word on the Grasshopper???????

So, they've been keeping to the tree of life, I can't find any on the other two plants even though they're touching. I have to believe that they're everywhere though......My predator mites will be here today, so it's game-on in the tents. You're right about the chems....I think I'd rather throw everything away and start over...I've got no problem with "chem" nutrients, but pesticides are a different story.How far are you into flower? spider mites are a bitch too eradicate..............Hyroot's advice is solid, your last organic option would be sulfur sprayed or burned, kills everything and is an irritant obviously.
