ok so i went out and got 3 y sockets and 3 more 26watt cfls. so now that brings me to 6 26 watt and 2 43 watt cfl's and over 15000 lumens. i got attacked by spider mites i sprayed yesterday and i plan on spraying again in a week. i plan on goin to get some molases today and hopefully the extra light and molases will help my buds to fatten up nice. but cross ur fingers i can get theses mites under control its gettin so close to harvest i would hate to lose it all now.

ok so a day after i sprayed for the mites all my leafs were all wilted but today they all perked back up with the exception of about 10 fan leafs that died and i pulled off. i checked all my fan leafs and all the mites were gone or so i thought. i go out and get a magnafying glass to check my trichomes and what do i find? all the mites had gone from all the fan leafs to all the small leafs all around all my buds AAAAHHHHHH!!!! i dont know what to do. i sprayed it down again this time sprayin the buds. i went out and got some grandma's molasses today and started feedin to tonight (2 tsp in a half gallon of water) i plan on feed just molasses and water from here on out and harvest in 2 weeks. will the mites get into my buds? and its been about 7 weeks u think 9 weeks is safe to harvest. my magnafying glass is only 4x so i cant get a good look at the trich's but from what i can see they all look pretty clear still. is there any ther way to tell when to harvest without having a microscope to look at the trichs?

My T-5 HO works great bro I only paid $269.00 and got all 8 54watt bulb's for free but my problem is the heat when I first got it i had it about 5-6" from my plant and the next morning my CFL's were trying to smoke my plant's before i do they were crispy I think I got em back but I used to go to home-depot and get those small CFL bulb's and I thought they worked good tell I got my new set up check out this site .: Sunlight Supply - horticulture and aquarium lighting systems :. Website and when I decide to flower they have seperate bulbs like T5 54W HO Lamp Red 3000° K 4ft. and T5 54W HO Lamp Blue 6500° K 4ft. for my flowering and there only about 12 dollars each but if anyone else out there know's about CFL's and have tip's I would love to hear em to and good luck dabull !!

i use "twist ties", or wire depending on the thinkness of the branch, and just make a hook to hold down the branch. This stops the chance of the material growing into the plant and allows the plant to pull away if it wants to. Then just reset. It is good I think to give the plant a break now and then but they are tough plants.
I'm still reading through you journal, but it seems that we have similar situations. I'm using CFL's as well and have three plants on day 27 and two on day 15 of flower.

yup i cant wait this friday im goin to cut the lights and monday im cuttin and hangin it. monday will make 9 weeks of flowering. i got one of those poket microscope things 60-100x but i dunno i cant really tell if my trich's are cloudy clear or amber. so i figure if i give it 9 weeks ill be pretty safe. i plan to hang them for about 5-7 days then cure in tupperware. ill probably take some fresh off the plant to stick in the vaporizer and take all the small trim and such and try a batch of hash.
