My First Grow Journal...EVER! 600W MH/HPS Bubbleponics Cabinet Grow

I was sorry to hear that my anger is not compatible with the outside world. I guess I should remain a loner.
 
I will post some pictures of the spider mite damage because that may help others. Here are some photos from the infestation of evil bugs. I didn't use any zoom so this is how they look to the naked eye basically.

Side Note: There is likely only another week of growing left so I may post the rest of the progress photos in a one-week cluster. Not much else to really update beyond the bug issue and adding water from time to time at this point. I will however update the post no matter what with a final total of how much these two plants produce as I know some may be interested in that. Apart from that, I am going to regroup, reconsider my options for online journals (not really my thing as you all can tell) and I may try to come back and keep a more un-emotional grow journal in the future. Until next time, thanks for reading and happy growing!

:)

Should be in the next week...possibly in multiple parts depending on how developed all the buds are. There are several that are getting very close but I notice more in the back that may need more time. Will update when the girls are done though.
 
Sheesh I think they are all dead. Nothing is moving on the leaves any more each time I check them so I think so. Still have bodies of the buggers everywhere. Will need to rinse the buds off thoroughly before drying and curing but I think it will be okay. All I used on the bug problem so far was Neem Oil Concentrate. I sprayed it all over let it drip dry then sprayed it all over again. That seems to have done the trick but I will be buying something with Spinoset just to be sure next time.
 
Wanted to update everyone on the status of the girls. They are almost done based on the trichomes and pistils now both starting to turn mostly amber. Below are photos from the past 6 days along with a bud close-up from today showing the amber trichomes. Thanks for reading.

10/28/2017: Went ahead and mixed up my flush mixture for tonight. When the light comes on I am going to drain whatever is left in the reservoir and refill it with my pHed water/FloraKleen mixture. I plan on running that until Tuesday and then it will just be pHed plain water from then on. It looks like I will be harvesting around Monday or Tuesday, and possibly doing a second harvest a week or so later (some smaller buds may need more time). Either way, the bulk of the grow will be ready in a few days. The trichomes are all looking cloudy or even amber and for the most part, the pistils have changed over to orange and red from what I can tell. Here are a couple of pictures from the past couple of days. Will update again around harvest or just before. Thanks for reading!

Graff420 I can't wait! Hope to be blazing some of this crop by December! :D
I am going to weigh it wet and dry just so I can get an idea of the loss of mass due to drying.
 
Graff420 do you notice that the HPS bulb makes it really hard to tell if the pistils are red? It feels like the red from the bulb is washing out the red in the pistils. I feel that way because in the photos where I zoom in with my scope (which has a built-in LED) the pistils appear red but looking at it without the scope they look white.
 
Lol im colorblind so i dont really do red that well i mostly ask my gf about specific colors because i cant really differentiate when things are small lol but yea thats what my gf told me she said my hps light turned my red pistils were white
 
Wow...I never thought about how difficult it would be to grow being colorblind. That is quite a conundrum! Glad she can be your pistil spotter though! :)
 
Photos from today...just changed the reservoir over to the flush mix.
