Bag seeds....

Had no tent updates for a while because I had serious bug issues. I did a full shut down and nuked it with Hot Shot no pest strips. Had to shut down all ventilation and lights. Today was 48 hrs, ventilation and lights are back on to check for bugs. Luckily Im not a seller or this whole grow would be trash

Back on track, foliage took a serious hit with the bugs but so far everything looks ok. My 2 mothers are outside, they will be about 2 - 3 weeks flower by the time I put them in the tent to finish. Wont take any chances when they go in the flower tent, Ill seal it with no pest strips for 72hrs before turning the lights back on. Im also going to move the exhaust fan outside and pull air out so I can add the 2nd 150w HPS. I have 3 clones ready for winter

The mammoth sunflowers are huge too

Melon garden is finally showing fruit too

The bugs that hit my grow really took their toll, I was able to save it but it won't be nearly as good had there not been an infestation.

I will probably chop it all next week. The 2 waiting to go in already started flowering outside. They are way bigger than I expected. When the tent is clear I will throw them into quarantine for 72 hours with 3 No Pest Strips to kill anything on them and anything that hatches before I turn the lights back on.

I also want to reconfigure the tent with the exhaust fan and carbon filter outside rather than inside to allow more height, and also add the second 150W HPS to get ready for the winter grow. Hopefully after this next harvest, I will have dual 150w HPS and the 300w LED running with good temps and a tent full of plants with no bugs...fingers crossed. There's still lots to do to get the tent dialed in but it's getting real close.

I only have the "A" strain left, got rid of B and C clones, the 2 in the tent are 2 Bs and 1 C. Everyone liked A the most but I preferred B.

My seed order got canceled, apparently my bank thought it was a scam so I will need to resubmit or figure out a better way to pay for them...

Ended up chopping today, not enough foliage to really make a difference in yield and Im over 9 weeks on all of them. I need to reconfigure my tent to add the 2nd 150w HPS and also toss in the 2 outside to finish them indoors. Good news is they should be dry enough to trim this weekend, get the new light setup and quarantine the 2 outdoors with no pest strips before I flip the switch. They should be done in 5 - 6 weeks

600 watts, HPS + LED

See what happens...

I must of missed it,, what were the bugs you were dealing with? Spider mites? Fungus nats?

I think I had gnats

Far as i know gnats dont usaully fuck with the leaves.. how ever, spider mites love them and a commen indoor pest.. the tell tail sign is little white spots showing up on the leaves.. if you see this in the future carefully check the undersides of the leaves..
Any how.. glad you didnt lose the plants and got a harvest..

Ive had spider mites before

I went in to water 1 night and flies came flying out and there was bug shit on leaves...

Ill be more careful next cycle

The 2 girls outside are in full bloom

Already started off with a bug problem so I contained them all. Its so humid here there are bugs everywhere. The yellow is because they need to be transplanted asap but I need to buy soil. The new mother is in a bigger pot until I get more soil.

The 2 outdoors are maybe 2 - 3 weeks from being done, maybe 4

The cup is my hail mary for my final Oasis OG x C99 cross, paper germ method didnt work so hopefully soil will give me at least 1 to use. If not thats it for that strain, I dont have any seeds left. They were several years old and kept safely in a velvet bag in a shoe box but maybe theyre just too old.

Transplanted 6 into 3 gal pots. Going to veg them for 4 - 6 weeks then flip the switch. I dont want to flower until it cools down and less chance of bugs being an issue. Going for half a pound so just need 2oz from each plant. I already have enough flower to last all year. I want to start breeding again, my Oasis OG x C99s are probably gone forever if I dont get a seedling from the last seeds in the red cup. RIP

The outdoor "A"

I chopped the 2 outdoors about 2 weeks early, I shook them and like 20 caterpillars fell out and I dont want to waste any more water on them. California is in a drought and a Federal recession. I also culled all the melon patches to save some water

The 6 indoor are in veg until this fucking heat wave is over

Did some LST and topping, gotta keep them short until I hit the switch.

Theyre filling out nicely
