The predatory mites took a bit longer to show up than I anticipated, but they got here today and are in the tents....I hope they're hungry!! It's been pretty chilly around here these past few days, so I've been trying to keep them as uncomfortable as possible with upper 60's for tent temps o_O. I put the temperature controller back into use, so now it's 76-80 for the predator mites to be happy.

Get your grasshoppervape yet? Still waiting over here. Got an email saying later in June maybe into July but no exact date. This thing better blow away my $20 atmos...
Nope, not yet. I got the same email too. I've been reading the reddit page on the grasshopper and it definitely seems like it's coming soon. I'm not holding my breath though:)

edit: it's been a few hours so i checked on the predatory mites, and i see adults running around on the leaves I inoculated eating baby mites. pretty cool, man. I hope they do the job. Apparently the bean leaves came with mites in all stages of life, so I expect their population to boom shortly, when the eggs hatch.

I used predator mites a few years back,they called it triple threat or something because it was 3 different species. They did the job for me,I have a USB scope and I watched them in action on my computer screen. They go back and forth until they bump into a mite,then they jump on top of them and suck them dry,it's pretty cool to watch.

I haven't seen any mites for a while, so (knock on wood here) I'm calling the problem solved, for now :)

Just want to comment real fast that holy damn, the Bodhi Tree of Life is a huge tree. I've been super cropping the shit out of this plant and it just keeps trying to grow into the light. I was busy last week and I didn't get to look at it for a day , and I lost one top to the light o_O. It was burned very badly so I chopped it at the next lowest node. My bad- but the plant really surprised me with its size, that's for sure. I've had to raise the light several times and she's still getting taller, probably almost four feet tall now. I'll get some pics soon:)

Hi everyone, I finally took some pics of the garden. Here's a view of the whole garden, with Dr. Grinspoon in the front, Ghost Train Haze in the left-back, and Tree of Life in the back:

You can see a damage leaf that grew into the light on the tree of life...that's also the top I had to remove.

Here's frost shot on the Grinspoon...it's looking like July was a decent guess for a chop date:

(damn cat hairs...)

Here's the GTH#1...I like this strain (been smoking on party cup buds for a while):

And here's the veg tent. I took a clone of the Dr. Grinspoon, since I only had one seed:) Also in there, and next into the flower tent in about a week, is a Liberty Haze that I topped the other day. I also have some lettuce, spinach, and a bean plant growing in there for fun :) I deadheaded the rose bush and she's really been popping out nice flowers too;)

I preorded the titanium in early may, they're showing sometime July but I heard possibly later.
@PSUAGRO.
I checked the grasshopper site a little bit ago and my original ship date of May has been pushed back to August. Dang. I bet it comes "on time" this time though, because more and more people are posting pics of their grasshoppers:) I think I preordered in March or so.

Also, I sampled the Grinspoon....I couldn't help it. The smoke is already strong and has really nice flavor. Very unique, but I think that the Medical Seeds 1024 must have been bred with, or is somehow related to the Grinspoon, because they taste similar:) I like it! Definitely worth the wait!!!
