Hi. I hope you are doing well since your surgery. I have a quick question for you. I saw a couple of something flying around the girls today. It was black and about the size of a needle point. What do you think it might be and what should I do?
Thank you.
Tas
Iām doing alright! Nothing yet from anyone but definitely feeling my allergies REAL bad. Throat is terrible, head is killing me, congested as hell.
Other than that I check the girls and they BOTH are finally dried up at the same time. So I fed them both the second feeding of week 7.
GP2 is coming along nice and smelly.
GP1 is small but in flower now!
Probably nats
People put like sticky nat traps on there pot or I think some people spray if it gets real bad Iām not sure. Never had anything like that other than Springtails.
Greetings,

greetings brother.
I noticed you liked my grow. I as well am a Va. Grower from in the county of Hanover. I have been growing since they allowed us here. I am glad we have that freedom. I am under Hospice comfort care and canāt smoke anymore but gift to older people who are in pain from cancer to bad backs and getting injected by steroids.
Send some pics if you have some in progress I would like to see, what type are you doing soil, hydroponics?
Have a blessed day Take care.
Oh wow youre not far im from the city of charlottesville glad to see a fellow va grower and thats a very kind thing that youre doing helping others! i just recently got into growing so this is my first time. As of right now im keeping it simple with soil grow foxfarms half happy frog half ocean forest with general hydroponics flora trio every other watering. I currently have 4 autoflowers in week 3 of flower and i have a young northern lights autoflower outside when weather is permittable heres some pictures from a week ago.
Greetings, brother.
Yeah I have foster grandchildren in Charlottesville and one is expecting right now in the hospital up there.
I love your grow, they are looking nice. I am a great FoxFarm user soil I use in 5 gallon Rain Science grow bags first 1 inch lava rock, then Strawberry fields 3 quart, then I put a 1 quart take out container on one side of my pot and put Ocean Forest around it, the pull out the container and fill with Happy Frog for my seedling to go in. It is on one side for LSTing. Hereare some pics from this morning feeding.

@SolomanGrundy
Very nice!
Greetings,
They look like a nice harvest coming. If you have time provide a side shot when you send top views it gives me a chance to determine if the underneath is in order as well. They look good on the bud end a 6 weeks.
Take care
I use them they work really well, just something additional stick a couple on the wall of tent and on the door. Hopefully they work for you, you need at least two per pot cause they think they mark and try to be on the opposite side of where you stick one trap 
Wow they look great my friend! And its a small world we live in huh? Glad to ha e foumd this forum and the wonderful people that are in it
Greetings, brother.
I like your lighting and tent set up. I noticed your still using the black fiber buckets, when they wear out or run out try these that I will send you the link they are Rain Science and are reusable time and time again and allow great air flow to your roots which allows bigger better budding plants. I have had mine since the second grow here in Va. Whats the manufacturer of your light and tent?
Take care.

Have a wonderful afternoon.
Awesome thankyou! I was wondering when i got these fabric pots if theyd last or not ill definitely give those a try! And since im just starting out i first only had 100w kingled lights then realized i needed much bigger since i had 4 plants so i got myself this bar light from a company call farmlite 320w and believe it or not its a phenomenal light for a decent price! And put a meter toit and it pulls 321w from the wall it does get hot but i have fans that cools it and i found this tent for cheap called richya and it holds syrong with no rips its a 4Ć4Ć8 i appreciate the link hope you have a great day
Greetings,
Release all of the tie downs completely if you havenāt already. Next time try this method instead of mainline style. Wait until it gets to the 4th node and pull down from the top and just bend it just once watch the guys videoās I sent you. Once you pull the top over keep pulling the the nodes open to expose the buding nodes. This puts less strain on the nodes. You are going to have a good harvest.
Take care
Greetings, Taz.
Here are some more videos.
These may give you some more of a idea instead of mainline training which takes more practice and time and needs more personal vision, guidance and hands on teaching.
Trying to be helpful, you are doing good on your first attempt and will generate a good harvest. But breaking nodes slows down and stunts out a better healther plant. Reasurching a watching is what we all learn by. If you look a my pics I introduced the traing grids to give me a much better tie down area.
Like I said your are doing well but try to give hopefully some support and guidance to yet even better traing methods.
Take care.
Did you say that you grow outdoors? Iām wanting to TRY growing outdoors this year. However with Ohio weather itās kinda hard.
You say that you move the plant outside when the weather is good out for the plant? Thinking about germinating a seed here soon to try and grow outdoors.
However if you move it in and out when weather is good.
Can you tell me a little about what you do?
I have one thats outside i started her inside at first then when she got older with a few true leaves and stems are a lil stronger then i have been putting outside on good days and bring back inside at nights until weather stays warm day and night
