Been at this game for a while now, but I'm new to mothering.
I have three moms total, two Sour Diesel and one White Widow. The moms are kept in the garage away from the flowering\vegging area and I'm having a hard time keeping them healthy.
I took clones Sunday, and in the past when I've taken clones from vegging plants I got roots in about 12 days - I'm expecting these may take a bit longer since they aren't completely healthy?
They are in Roots Organic potting soil, and thus far I haven't added anything to their water. I'm a hydro guy so I'm not sure when they will need nutes.
I'm getting alot of yellowing, more like browning... and some drooping. They have been battling spider mites the entire time which isn't helping my cause right now.
How do you guys keep your moms healthy in a grow tent? The bugs simply won't go away... I could bomb the tent but I'm sure plenty of mites are in the garage and will find their way back in.
As of now I've been spraying with a soy based anti mite product...and also used Floramite about four days ago.
Since administering the floramite they do look a bit better but I'm thinking the mites are gonna come right back. The Widow mom has maintained a nicer green color, while the SD have yellowed a bit and browned too - it almost looks as if I have some sort of deficiency but I'm thinking it's from the pests.
I have heard that product Hot Shots work well for small areas for spider mites - have you guys used 'em?
It's extremely unlikely that I'll be able to get the grow tent completely free of bugs, but as of now I did see some old dead ones... no new mofos climbing around tho.
Do you think throwing a hundred or so lady bugs into the grow tent would be a good idea?
The clones I took from the moms on Sunday all have nice green leaves, so the yellowing and browning has definitely become worse in the last 5 or so days. I was getting webs for a bit and admittedly got a bit lazy with them. Hopefully they bounce back if I stay on the bugs?
Should I be giving any nutes?
