It looks like a mite....and there are definitely no "lone wolves" in spider mites.
Neem oil with dish soap and a few drops of H2O2 (peroxide) or water with alcohol (70/30%).... -or both-
The good thing is that it is still early and easier to eliminate.

Okay, thanks guys. I‘ll keep a close eye on it then.
I think I have some neem left, I used it against an outbreak of sciarids some time ago.

The Nepal Jams on my balcony now expresses three phenotypes. The first one has pretty short and internodes and has the broadest leaves. Guess this is the nepalese parentage coming through. On the other end there is a pheno with longer internodes and narrower leaves (but not sativa-narrow yet) and much longer leave-stems. Seems to lean more towards the Jamaican. I only have one plant each, the majority of plants is neatly placed right in between the two, obviously the typical Nepal Jam pheno.
Still no flowers. I am curious if the Jamaican leaning pheno will flower later and/or longer than the others or if it has the nepalese early genetics.

Photos in that order.

Nice. How tall is it?
Its quite short about exactly 55 cm, if i have given it the opportunity it would have been much taller but i tried to keep them small this run has my ratio of female/male was high so the cabinet got overstacked. I transplanted,topped and switched to 12/12 on the same day, pinched the stems a couple time, not optimal if you want to grow big plants. It's also growing in very little soil, 2,75 L id say. It still did good and had an average strech compared to the rest of them.

Thanks for sharing your fast-flowering Nepalese pheno @babe ruth it looks divine and finished in just 7 weeks :) Such early, squat, resinous expressions with a high flower-to-leaf ratio and creamy, fruity aromas are the traits I focused on selecting into when i did continue this line more than 10 years ago. The yields are low in such expressions, but you can expect high-quality flowers with the clear-headed, very pleasant, warm, and kind effects this line is well known for.

@Elrond the young plants are progressing well, but the third plant is still affected. It could be spider mites, but I cannot confirm conclusively from the picture in post #1299.

The Nepal Jam Feminized on my balcony is developing nicely. She started to show the first pistils around the summer solstice. There was a little bit of an issue with overfertilization I think, but she seems to be recovering. I also topped her just recently.

Her she is a little over a week ago.

A little update from my balcony grow!

Plants look great, I am left with three amazing females and I also kept one selected male for some pollination.

Two females pretty much look alike, guess they are the typical NJ pheno (photo 1 & 2).
One female is a bit taller and much more bushier (photo 3). Also the stem rub is a bit different, it tends towards a black pepper smell with a honey overlay at the moment. Really interesting. Guess it leans more towards the Jamaican.

My male is interesting because it not only does have red leaf stems (like the others), but also a red main stem (photo 4). It almost looks like a Purple Satellite at the moment. It’s so beautiful, I can’t stop looking at it. 😍 Also it has a great smell.

You might find that the two NJ phenos actually do not look alike. This is because I am testing a certain trimming style to one of them.
I am removing one stem from each node, alternating left and right. The same is applied to the fan leaves, just the other way around. So on a node you have stem to one side, leaf to the other side. I do this to save some space on the balcony, the stems grow towards the inside of the balcony (and the sun) and the leaves grow towards the railing of the balcony. That way I can place the plants closer to the railing and have overall more space.
The other plants growns normally, pine tree structure, so in the end I can compare the yields of the two methods. If the one sided buds grow stronger than the two-sided ones the yield might almost equal out. Anyone tried this before?

With my balcony grow I tend to remove some of the branches from the plants, but not that radical. Of course the plant will concentrate it's energy on the remaining branches, but I can't imagine the yield will be equal to the ones left more intact. Also bigger and denser buds can invite mold, which is a serious issue where I am at, so I prefer to have lots of smaller budsites. Interesting experiment though.

Here is how mine looks like now.

Great plants! They look very healthy. 👍

By now the branches of the pruned plant already look much stronger than those of the uncut plants. I am very curious where this will end up. However, it’s just one plant so even if it yields less I still will have enough to harvest. :)

Week 12: Plants are looking great. They are flowering slightly, but still no sign of bud formation. Well, it’s still early.

Photo 1: Plant grows naturally, all I did was removing the stem leaves, one leaf a week. I leave the top three nodes with leaves to support the top bud. The rest ist removed to support the growth of the side stems.

Photo 2: Exactly the same pheno as in photo 1, trimmed like I explained above, one stem per node. Also I bent the stems down a little to distribute them evenly to get everyone the optimum light. By now the stems are much thicker and much more vigorous than plant 1. I‘m really curious which one of the two yields more.

Photo 3: Jamaican-leaning pheno. Bushier plant, a bit bigger, very different smell than the typical NJ pheno. As you can see, I also applied some lollipopping and low stress training including removing 2/3 of the fan leaves.
