How many weeks to go before harvest? (Pictures)

I had sprayed some water+nicotine solution just before I switched the lights off and when I checked them a few minutes ago I saw some but not in great numbers. I wiped as many leaves as possible by using wet soft sponges to get rid of the remaining mites. Even though I cannot see any of them now, I know that they'll come back.

I'm just trying to buy some time to make my buds more potent and ready. If I lose the battle against those creatures, will I also lose the buds? If so, I can think about immediate harvest... I mean, do they harm the buds directly? Can the buds become worse than they are now in a short period of time?

More help please:)...

PS. I looked for some ladybugs in the garden but they weren't there... :cry:

as i have said b4, i have no first hand experience with mite. but, i dont see that there should be a big problem in the next two weeks as long as you are wiping the leafs and trying to keep them under control.

have you seen any webs? i dont think the mite population is that great unless you see them spinning webs. all the mites do is suck the plant material out from the underside of the leafs- almost like a leach on the human body. the more life they suck out of your plant, the slower it will grow. what im saying is that i dont think your buds will be effected for such a short period. also i think they eat the fan leafs more than the buds because there are sticky trich (hopefully)covering the buds that might act as fly traps???? idk the last sentence was speculation.

good luck, and shoot us some pics if you dont mind:peace:

First thank you all... People sharing and helping each other, there's still goodness in our world... :blsmoke:

No webs spotted for the moment. I sprayed water+dish soap about 14 hours ago (amway, I dont know it's any good, found in the kitchen shelf:mrgreen: ). And they've just woken up and I've sprayed under the leaves with cold water to wash away the soap. They are now under the lights. They have been doing better since I spotted the problem. I'll try to take some pictures later: too tired fighting with the darn bugs... :evil:

50/50 solution of 90% or better isopropyl alcohol. Mist it on your plants and these little guys and watch them explode.

Or just got pick up a $4 bottle of some plant insect spray. I can't remember the kind I've got (i'll get back on that later) but I started noticing ants and another insect in my room and sprayed my plants and those guys are no problem.


What do you do for odor control? Those beautiful babies must wreak. Great plants. Keep flushing them and soon enough...oh that taste....

An important number of trichs still look clear and I'm thinking of waiting at least till the end of this month. Yesterday I took a small growing shoot (I don't want to call it bud:mrgreen:) and smoked it. The high was great, I got totally stoned. It was both body&head high. I even took a photo of it before rolling it up... :blsmoke:

And also number of trichs has been increasing rapidly. I mean, I can tell the difference everyday. This will be my first and last grow, I hope it turns out very good.

My plants look alot like yours but they are just in their 7th week. Most of the hairs on one has turned orange and curled up. Have yours gotten to that point? I was thinking I would keep them flowering a few more weeks but your on week 11... Mine may need 3-4 more weeks.....

The leaves are still pretty green, are you flushing to clear out nutes yet?
Let her burn up some of that stored N?
