Thanks brother, good to be back around.  I just started week 7 of veg and they only appear to be on one plant.  Are they broad mites?

Hey brotha! Good to see you back around. Are your plants in veg or flower? There's certain things I just won't do in flower.

Do you know what it is? I think it may be a predator. Looks like A. Cucumeris or some Amblyseius. One of the good guys, no action necessary.

Yep. I've never dealt with them personally. We have spider mites here. Good news is you have options while still in veg. I know some of the gang here likes Azamax. Mighty Wash isn't bad either. I'm not a pesticide user any more so hang around and you'll get some good advice soon.

No, I was hoping for help with an ID as well.  This is only  my 4th run and the first time I’ve ran into something like this.  They aren’t on the plant from what I’ve seen, they have a hard exo skeleton and are focused in the soil.

I replied to your other thread too. If they're not on the plant and only soil then my confidence is 99% they're S. Scimitus. No problem with them, they're good bugs. It could be a sign that the grower was battling thrips or fungus gnats tho so be on the lookout for those.

Nuke Em by Flying Skull, if you can find it and if it's still somewhat affordable. Might be better/easier to start fresh though.

Do you have lots of them? If you have the good bugs the question is why are they there, likely feeding on the bad bugs?  I bought lady bugs last year as a precaution for my garden they never really showed much, my buddy had a bad spider mite infestation and he just had massive amounts of lady bugs naturally.  I’d be looking for the gnats or thrips that  S. Scimitus likes to feed on if that’s indeed what they are.

There are a lot crawling around the top soil of this particular plant.  I’ve been noticing quite a few gnats coming from this plant since I started monitoring and will keep an eye out for thrips as well.

Thanks for the help!

Ive had them white soil mites for a year or so now.
They don't bother my grow at all.
They did crawl from plant to plant and scared the shit out of me.

If they don't kill the gnats then Mosquito Dunks will.

Took an early pinch of the Huckmonkey x Darkslide. Last time I grew one of these it was far more green like the Darkslide father. Glad to see the mother showing. This is one of two projects I really want to get back to.

When you take an early sample how do you dry it? I’m guessing quick?



These clones that have been outside since late November look really weird. First there were no pistils but now they’re swollen up and throwing white pistils some spots.

This time of year a piece that size will be tacky but dry enough to try in about three days. It's in week 9.5 now. Might be able to smoke it while I chop it lol.

So I got to decide if I should top or trim up these autos. Any other plant I wouldn’t think twice and would have already been hacking it up but I’ve read a lot of contradicting info on if it’s a good idea or not. Some swear it doubles yield. Some swear it stunts the plant. I assume the plant stunt folks did something wrong but I don’t want to be that guy. Do you guys hack up your autos? Some of these dudes don’t leave a single fan leaf on there and pull half a pound each. Some top it once and get 20 grams. What do you guys do?

Also anyone fuck with Grove bags? If not how do you dry and cure. I got to get that figured out I feel Like it’s the most important part. The good genetics are available but I’ve learned that making great smoke is about more than genetics.

My friend uses those now instead of jars, he swears they're way better than jars because you don't have to burp them. I'm gonna buy several quarter bags to test them out myself this harvest.

I’ll have to check on the nanner. I don’t think so but I wouldn’t be surprised either.


I think drying is possibly more important than anything else for good smoke. My first few dried in 5-6 days and stayed fairly harsh even after months of curing. Although I gotta say I smoked a bowl of one of my first lcxcn plants the other day after six months in the jar and it was really good. It used to be kinda harsh but I took a huge bong rip and didn’t feel a thing. It’s also got zero green on it now. It’s mostly golden with some purple/black leaves.


My method for drying right now is to take the fans off then hang it up for a day and a half, then I move it to a cardboard box just big enough to hold the buds. Every morning I take them all out and hang them for a couple hours then put them back. I can consistently get ten days playing it safe this way and made it to 20 before getting mold when I tried to really push it.

This is in about 12% rh. I also jar it at like 70%. Learned the hard way that burping in such a dry environment saps a lot of moisture quickly.


Finally ordered some epsom salt today. Gorilla zkittles and Afghan seem to need it.

Got some coir soaking in calmag water to bump laoberry, mugato and huckmonkey up to one gallons also. So far they all look like they’ll be small plants. Like five inches tall but six nodes already.

Hot genetics are great, but proper growing/drying techniques is where the seperation from the pups and big dawgz comes in to play.

Don't fuck the dry up.
Proper drying techniques are possibly the most important part, why spend 3 months caring and rush the end process to get wack smoke?
Realistically proper drying is the whole plant chopped for roughly one month. 60% humidity first week then bumping down to 50% at week 4.

But... that's also not conducive unless you're a hobbyist.

I do not use liquid nutrients or coco so I do not flush, but if you are pumping liquid nutes, standard flush is 7-10 days. 2 days of pure darkness before you chop whole plants. Dry WHOLE plants in darkness for 10-14 days(until branches snap). If you keep your drying room at 50% humidity and 65-70° it should take about 10 days for branches to snap. Afterwards you should be burping the bags/jars daily for at least the first two weeks.

Problems you can run into not keeping your drying room at consistent humidity is mold/mildew, and improper/harsh smoke. If your joint goes out/won't stay lit you're not flushing properly. If you're running into dark gray/black ash you're not flushing properly and have nutes still locked up in the plant. Ash should be white.
