PICK YOUR OWN
With cuts that I bought.
I have an 18 bucket veg site all connected to each other with a rdwc system. Bought several clones and at same time harvested some plants from my 25 bucket rdwc bloom rdwc so i moved some plants from the veg to bloom. I then placed those newly arrived cuts in my veg area. After a few days couple of the plants started growing/ perking up while couple others struggled. Ordered some more cuts.
When those came in i harvested some more plants and i notived some plants were looking not quite right inthe veg system.
I moved 3 plants out of veg and into my flower system. Put my newly arrived cuts in my veg system.
Cuts from first purchase werent exactly setting the world on fire. Those struggling looked no dfferent. Several days passed. Not much growth at all from plants i placed in flower over the last 3 weeks. Plants in veg are all getting droopy. Noticed now some smallish flies flying around.
Plants in flower that were supposed to be ready are not ready like they supposed to be. Now everything is starting to look sickly some plants worse than others. Rez changes dont help any. Noticed roots in veg are turning brown also in bloom. Even adding hydroguard does nothing.
After several weeks of battling this i then used hydrogen peroxide 2 ml per gal in my veg to see what it would do. Next day most of the plants were dead. Took plants out and noticed worm liie maggots on the roots. Wtf!?!?
I peered into the flower room buckets ..... same thing.
Plants are drooping so bad in flower they look like you didnt have the air pump on and the roots are drowning.
After a week i desposed of several plants out of flower room. Trying so save plants that are producing bud and those are looking bad.
Now up to this past sunday. These are the resorts i ended up doing because ive lost everything now. Going to see if able to kill the maggots in the roots which was on all the plants.
Bought a half gallon size of concentrate insecticide for worms, catepillars etc poured whole bottle in my system. And raised the water level up to top of buckets. Still didnt kill those bastards.
I then was thinking that soap kills bugs quick. So i turned off the air pumps and put in a gal of dawn dish soap. Then saw the little bastards crawling up the stalks of the plants that are still left in their i hadnt removed yet. I then fixed up a dish soap concentrate spray in my 1 gal pump sprayer and sprayed all over the stalks and tops of the lids, in the hydroton etc.
For shits and giggles i turned the air pumps on. Bubbles going everywhere and in the bubbles were tens of thousands of those bastards of various sizes. From super tiny to good size ones.
Well i ended up tossing out all 25 plants in flower. These plants i average 3/4 lb off each one. Set up an additional veg/quarentine site and bought more clones from a different supplier. I ended up saving a couple of the cuts i bought by taking a clone and was luckily able to sprout roots. Of the 4 i bought i immediately took a dump on me but the other 3 look fine but each are in the own dwc bucket.
Ordered 6 clones yesterday.
Lost a lot of money. Clones i bought lost 90%, lost 18 lbs of bud, lost everything in veg as well so virtually starting all over again. Takes around 2-3 months to veg to the size i want because i fim the tops constantly to get a lot of bud sites. So not going to have any finished bud in a while.
Couldnt come at a worse time for me as one of my customers picked up a lot of business and selling 4x the amount he was.
This is just 1 plant that i stuffed in this 30 gal tote. Going to the burn pile.
Shitty roots
You can see the little fly maggots in the roots
Was some super frosty bud at week 5
Can see on this plant how the plant was eat up that was in the hydroton. Those are the suds left over a day later after turning on the air pumps.
Another plant thats dead prob around week 4
This was the first plant to kick the bucket on me. Never even grew 1 inch after a couple weeks in flower. Then in 2 days time went from looking sad to this.
This plant was looking like defiencies setting in and couple days later it was dead.
Yep this wedding cake didnt make it.
Been battling plants and depression from all this B.S. so it took a lot for me to put this all out here.
But im pulling my britches back up from the fucking i took and getting back at it.
