2nd white widow auto grow

Not to sound stupid but what happens to the lady bugs after they eat all the mites ? They die off or what @yoshi my wife would be upset to see lady bugs all over the house :wink:
Do you collect them and release outdoors?

@Countryboyjvd1971 thanks buddy! My wife read that, now she’ll NEVER let me get ladybugs inside. She was already skeptical, but now that thought was planted in her mind it will never go away. Lol


On an up note grabbed this while i was out today, plus i got a full bottle of the bushdoctors mite-a-cide. I’ll try to post pictures soon, like when i go to treat, waiting for lights to come back on. Looks like the 2 smallest furtherest into flowering aha are effected the worst. No crazy webs yet but they have tons of little white spots on the leaves. Bc they are the smallest the dont rub against the others often. Is it possible some have it worse then others? Can some have them bad enough to have white spots but not all the plants get them?

Mixed up some miticide and neem oil and the plants closest to harvest i sprayed a papertowel soaking wet amd wipe as many leaves off as i could. The clones and Ss scrog i sprayed bothsides of leaves. Turned lights off for a while directly over head while they dried so it didnt burn them. Sprayed soil good and all the fabric containers. And hung that hotshot thing. Above the worst plants and closed the room in half so plants are in a smaller space. But that thing is for like a 12x12 room with a 10 ceiling. My wife rolls cigarettes so the shake from her old bags will work good to boil. Going to do that with garlic and neem oil and spay soil and containers again tomorrow and if i didnt damage the leaves to much i might wipe them off again. . thanks again guys. Damn flood an extra time its consuming daily had me slacking off…

Had un expected guest so just draining the water daily is hard enough, so wont be able to re-treat till sun night. The hot shot will still be hanging. Guess it helped some bc all that i saw today under the microscope was a few very small babys. No visual damage from wiping all the leaves down or spraying, actually clones needed watered today so i sprayed them real good today too. They barely had any signs so they should be good. 6 more harvested. Let me section off my room better.


Anyone every run a sog in something the size of a solo cup? Another forum i frequent has solo cup grow challanges often, they do surprisingly well. What size containers do you guys use who grow sog? I’ve used 2liter soda bottles with the top cut off and a bunch of holes. Did prettygood in the past.

That looks fun! Lord knows I have lots of hermied seeds to just play with. I’m wondering what search terms to learn more. Anyone do it outdoor that you’ve seen?

Floor space. If a solo cup is 3" wide and the floor space is 5ft long by 3ft wide×4ft. So 180 solo cups leaves space between them all. Could u get 7grms a cup? Say 800-1k of reall watts.? And co2???maybe space 80clones 2 wks later throw the other 80 in.So i dont need to contantly have so many in cups.Thats like 1260 grms.maybe ?
Also ordered a 2x2x4 tent for the clones i got in solos now for outdoors in spring,so i can throw this ss in 12/12 while the aha finish up.

And 2 things changed. Went from 5 to 3 gal. Containers and i kept the HPS bulb in the whole grow. So even though i added a true 230watts of led, i think wwa got bigger all together when they vegged under the MH bulb until they started to really flower. I dont have a dry weight and ive had a handfull of issues this grow(3× as many plants) but the wwa is alot smaller yeilds this time even from the healthy great looking plants. Not a disappointment by any means, lools and smells BOMB! and ill end up with alot more bc of the #'s but less plant for plant. I did notice the additonal 2 leds these flowers are rock hard.

No outdoors. I imagine they need daily attention when they are in flower. My clones in solos need water e.o.d. with soiless vermic/peat/pumice stone. They do a solo cup challenge amd try to most total dry from 1 plant in an 18oz solo cup and some guys are doing these sog in sep. boxes for flower and veg/clones and a tent for pretty big mothers to be able to cut so many clones. I dont wanna say the name bc its not part of ilgm but if u google it im sure its not hard to find if i fpund it. @SmoknGranny

Just got this to put the clones in until its warm enough to take them outside ,so i can flip to 12/12 and flower out the SSscrog and I’ve decided as an experiment for when i do SOG im going to flower 1 of the GL clones in a 1/gal container. Got 2x6" clip on fans from hydrofarm. Havent decided for sure but have a 250 MH in a sealed sunsystems hood or I have a 96watt LED(full spec. w\ uv). Leaning towards the LED to keep tent cooler.
