Organic Grow-Barneys Farm; Red Diesel & Peyote Critical Kush

[desertdan]

Hi Pagan, the picture looks similar to me fighting root aphids. Here is a picture of my peyote critical. It went in this container on 5/9. she and I fought a couple battles with root aphids and so far we are winning. She is in first week flower. Already has trichs.

Well, the Curse of the Pagan has reared it`s head again. Started 2 Red Diesels using the wet tissue method. Usually they start strong and vibrant. First one broke the shell and nice tap root which then just went black and died. The second had the palest of those initial little leaves before curling up and calling it a day. So, started third one off. Has sprouted, one leaf and very pale....I shall wait and see how she pans out. In truth I`m surprised as this is rare to have seeds go naff on me from Barneys and it`s strange that all 3 have come out with mega pale leaves that don`t go green quickly either. Only thing I can assume is that it was a duff batch or a little bit too old.
Peyote (Below) on the other hand is doing well. In a 10 l pot for a-whiles and coming along nicely

She slowed down after topping and never really stretched much after shooting out her pistils. Was a freebie seed so haven't another one to grow and compare.

Canuck147 Does sound like the type of lass I like growing. Planning on flipping at 17 to get to 20 roughly so that`s useful info mate-cheers

She's at the 67 day mark - didn't stretch as much as I thought she would have - she's at about 18 inches. Looks good tho.

Canuck147 Hey up mate, thank you. Growing a Sweet Tooth too-how have you found it?

[Canuck147]

Glad to see you back PaganRich - I always learn from your grows.

Afternoon folks
After a truly cataclysmic, almost biblical battle with spider mites and personal issues piling up that needed addressing I shut down for several months. Now like an early morning raider approaching Lindisfarne, I am back.
So, stocks are low and I have therefore chosen 2 of my fav`s. Both are very good for my headspace. I don`t recommend this for everyone but I use weed in place of heavy head medications which knock me sideways and these 2 really help keep me level.
I am also moving away during the flowering stage from HPS` to LED`s and have no experience in handling these so it`s going to be a learning curve for me. Special thanks to Spidermite for some excellent practical advice on how to handle them (Thanks mate-really appreciated). I mainly moved away from HPS` due to heat but running cost savings are also going to be a plus.
I do not use plain water but either a plain compost tea or a feed compost tea for either veg or flowering.
