Quarantined Moms for 2015 Outdoor

[epicorchard]

So Ive quarantined my mother plants inside until I can be sure they arent infected with russet mites. They were looking pretty great , then about 10 days ago I noticed the leaf curl. Its a very simple 2x600watt garage that gets very cold right now. I'm about to throw up some gavidas, but I'm worried the leaf curl is from russets. Im guessing its a combination of spraying Einstein oil neem with pyganic and overall cold temps.

I'm going to get a 300X scope so i can hunt for bugs, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue with cold temps and spraying.

Overall the growth and color looks fine, which leads me away from a russet mite infestation.

Ive noticed leaf curl with cold temps. I recently moved all my moms from outdoors inside and had the same issue as you..

might be the oilsbuildig up on the surface of the leaf. try washing them with a mist. also it could be from slight over feeding. but my best guess is the interplay between heat and r.h. or the lights are too close. if your temps are in check then look at your humidity if your lights are appropriately spaced from your canopy. lower humidity reduces the temps they tolerate.

single leaf clones are easier to kill mites on then bushy mothers ........

Thanks. The temps are between 45-60, with RH hovering around 65-70.
The lights are pretty high, say 24".

I threw up this room in my garage, and I think I need to add some gavidas to bring up the temps to the 70 degree range. I'm just not used to seeing the "taco" curl without some sort of nute burn being evident.

Im putting in a large Karma order, so I'm not toooooo worried about scrapping my moms, even though I have a few real winners in the library.

If I do keep some, I'll definitely take small clones and treat them avidly before bringing up 2 of each strain to the new homestead.

Do you have a sober person helping you with this project > ime people who smoke everyday never learn to kill mites .

The new gardner is a no alcohol no weed kinda girl. Clean, organized, and hard working.

However, I do think theres a big difference between someone who smokes every day, and the lazy stoner who can't commit to a feed/spray schedule.

Personally I'll take a smoker over a drinker any day.
