Woop Woop! Thanks @420SA Much appreciated! Well done to @Dagga Home Grower and @Valhalllafarms, well deserved

Hi guys. I also have issues with spider mites up to a point where there's webbing over the actual bud, let alone a little webbing on the leaves. I bought some R300 stuff and a wetting agent and boom, nothing happened except creating mutant mites. I could hear them laughing at me. I figured I HAD to try something and soon so I crshed some garlic and left in in a bottle of water for a day. I sprayed this dracula potion all over my plants, over the top and under the leaves. I so badly wanted a pizza after that! My entire house smelled like garlic but guess what, those little fuckers were no more. It seems that lasted more than a week (possibly 2) before I noticed that I needed to respray. So far so good. I've now placed some rocks around my garden because spiders like to sit on the rocks waiting for prey. Just yesterday I was researching where and how to get more ladybugs and behold, one appeared in my garden last night. So that's all you need to do, just research it and they appear. One can also build a ladybug house which seems pretty simple. Hopefully I find some ladybird eggs in my garden soon. Will be a needle in a haystack though.

Sativas really take their sweet time. 20% per day wow that's a lot of runoff (and effort). I would think once a week would be fine but hey, it looks like it's working I use coco/perlite but I add soil amendments and try to encourage mircobial life so flushing that much wouldn't be ideal. I use way less nutes than I used to (using only soil&coco). I feed Kalpak and Seagro as well as added microbes and since yesterday some LAB (Lactobacillus). I have little mushrooms popping up everywhere in the soil I feed this natural goodness for a few days and then some NPK (part A&B) for a few days. The plants eventually start to show you what they're lacking (usually magnesium & potassium in my case) and so I add some epsom salts (mag) and MPK (potassium & other). I've now made some Lactobacillus mix and apparently that stuffs the shit so.. It's really easy to make! Good luck with these last few days vefore your harvest! These could well be the longest days of your life

Nice one bud! Looks tasty af As for the flush, you can measure the EC of the runoff to see how much salt has built up in your "soil" and so decide how long you should flush. This is just my opinion though but I'd think more salt build-up would indicate that your plant is "full" (assuming that you were increasing nutes gradually and it's not build-up from an initial massive dose, in which case the plant probably wouldn't have survived anyway ) whereas if there isn't much build up, it'd mean she's probably not as full (unless you were feeding the exAct amount of nutes necessary). People who have huge salt build-up need to flush for longer to remove all those excess salts. If you use a grow bag you can actually see the salt build up around the sides of the bag. If you're not heavy handed on nutes, 5 days flush is long enough for peace of mind
