The battle of spider mites vs. ladybugs continues, haha. Hopefully they eat em all bro. Looking good.

Shit. Just checked em, and the spider mites have spread. It's amazing how much they can do in one night. I think I'm going to go to the hydro store to get some Neem and some ladybugs. Shitttt. I'm stressin' now! I'll get some pictures up after class. Econ test today. Hope I pass! Wish me luck. Hahah. Stay tuned!

Yeah they lookin' mad healthy. Props.
Edit: Damb on the mites...hopefully that will be a non-issue. Good luck on that econ test. Hope you smoked a bowl first..that always helps me...

Sorry for a late reply but if I can help you or even just one other person save his lamps and perhaps from getting nasty glass broken in the grow area it will be worth it!
If you are worried that those plug in lamp adapters are going to fall out you can zip tie them to the power strip. It was easier for me when I tried it because I had the socket adapters screwed onto Y-adapters and the zip tie went right in the crotch of the 'Y', then around the power strip.
I imagine you could zip tie in the bulb no problem though, just go under the spirals, catch the plastic base, then around the power strip.

Lol, turned out econ test was Monday. Hahah frick. Thanks though!
Lol, that's exactly what I ended up doing!
Great minds think alike. Hahah. Thanks checkin' out my grow!!! Hope you stay tuned, it's been a ride. Hahah.On a rather disappointing note, DISASTER HATH STRUCK
ONE OF MY FANS FELL ONTO MY PLANT! AND OF COURSE IT WAS THE PLANT THAT HAD A SPLIT ON THE MAIN STALK BETWEEN TWO BRANCHES! CAN YOU GUYS GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?!?
YUP, A BRANCH BROKE OFF. THE BRANCH IS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE PLANT. I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE. UGH.
I'm so upset. It was one of the heftier branches too. ): First thing I thought of was to trim the branch that broke off a tad, slice it, dip it in some Clonex, and stick it in a Jiffy7. I'm hoping it'll root. On an upside, at least I might be able to join in on Scrubs' Jiffy Challenge! Read that, Scrubs?! I'll be posting in that thread shortly!
Here are some pictures of what's happened:
See that gaping hole where the branch used to be? ):
Here is all of 'em, including the newly made broken branch clone. Lol.
This is the branch that broke off. I chopped it, stuck it in some Clonex, then into a Jiffy. Is there any reason why it shouldn't work? Let me know.
SEE?! It certainly is a tragedy. Lol. I suppose it's a learning experience. Lol.

Lol, it's a tragedy in my book. My book's pretty short though. Hahahah.
I just stuck it on my window sill. It's in direct sunlight right now, and I figure that's better than CFL's. The sun's startin' to shine bright around here. I think it's about 74* F today. Finally, sun.

Maybe use zip ties but zip tie the zip ties to some other zip ties just in case
Sorry to hear that bro, but it will all make you wiser in the long run. Just be sure to learn from any mistakes and things will keep getting smoother. It happens to all of us, lol.
I would take it straight out of the direct sun this second, that is a bad move. Take a read of jj scorpio's cloning thread and any others you see just to get the basics down. You want very very low lighting to keep the clone in a stasis and not using it's meagre resources. You just want it to sit there for like 2 weeks. It looks to me like you left too much leaf material on them, but who am I to say.
Here's what my jiffy clones look like, just to illustrate about the amount of leaves:
Will be glad to have you in the challenge, you can do this
Oh yeah, wouldn't the neem kill the lady bugs? I've never used either but that's what springs to mind

okay, i've gotta run through this quick, so if I miss anything, don't hold me to it. I read that neem doesn't harm ladybugs in a book Soma wrote. Also, I trimmed that branch up a bit. It was only in light for a bit, but it's looking bad. hahah. Alright, gotta go. Thanks for the help guys. update tomorrow!

Lol, thanks man. I'm pretty sure it's not going to. ): I'll get it next time. Hahahaha.

Alrighty guys, it doesn't look like the branch will take root. I fucked up by putting it in the sun. Lol, hurr hurrrrrr. I'll get it right next time. I'm thinkin' about taking a cutting from the plant that had the broken branch. There is one small branch that I think would work well. Since that branch broke off, I've noticed a lot of weird shit goin' on with the leaves under the canopy that aren't in direct sunlight. They have white residue lookin' stuff on em, not sure if that's from the neem oil, or Seranade, or what, but it's there. I'm pretty sure the like, 100 ladybugs I stuck in there got all of the mites. I'm kinda pissed though cause I had to buy 1500. I think most of them in the little container are about dead. Hahaha. What a waste of ladybugs! Anyhow, I've got some pictures of leaves, and there is one flower that's hairs are turning kinda brown. I'm not sure if it's just too warm or what. Take a peek fellas. Feedback is appreciated, and I'm sure Scrubs will have some to say.
These don't look good to me. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?
Here's the first plant I had. It's the most healthy out of the two.

looking very nice seems you have quite a bit of lady bugs in there....props on the picture taking skills love the close ups of the lady bugs.
Lookin' good man. No idea what's up with that one plant. Is it just some of the branches?

Thanks Lowryder! Luckily, my girlfriend's camera has a pretty good macro setting, so it takes some pretty good pictures. Haha. I wish I had a nice Nikon or something though.
As for that nasty lookin' branch/bud, I dunno. It's the only branch on that plant that's seeming to turn ugly. It wasn't exposed to the light much before that other branch busted off, so maybe it has somethin' to do with that. I guess we'll see! Oh, I got a cutting from the plant with the broken off branch. It was a small branch on the bottom with nothing really forming on it. I figured I might as well try to learn something and try to keep a clone alive. Right now, it's in a Jiffy, under the humidity dome. Here's a question for you Scrubs. Should I leave any light on the new little clone? My girlfriend gave me a desk lamp a while back, and I just realized it has a 27W florescent bulb in it. I think it's actually a PL-L. Should I just put that light over to the side of the humidity dome, or should I not put any light on it at all? I'm confused. I read where it says to put the clone in a humidity dome, and use a CFL for lighting, but does that mean after it roots?
