Howdy L33t and shanti,
Honored to have you both stop by, thank you for the kind words.
I am going to wait another week to see what's happening with the mites, still kind of shocked to see them. If I see more of them or if it looks to be getting worse, I will probably give them a foliar application of neem. Not hoping to get rid of them, that's about impossible, but hoping to at least make it hard on them. It is amazing how they will find the sickest plants and attack them, leaving the healthier ones alone.
Thanks for the reassurance shanti about the plant issues I was seeing. We've been pump faked for a week now about rain, forecast has said thunderstorms every day but it hasn't happened.
My day length including dusk and dawn is 14 hours 19 minutes, from sunrise to sunset is 13 hours 23 minutes. Night length from dusk to dawn is 9 hours 41 minutes, from sunrise to sunset 10 hours 37 minutes.
Excellent Female to Male ratio, out of 17 plants that survived to flowering 4 were male. There are 15 plants out there now, with one being a clone of Blueberry (possible source of mite infestation, I'll be sure to kick the guy who gave it to me in the nuts next time I see him) and another being a clone of the Early Pearl Skunk Haze. When I was taking off some of her lower branches earlier this season I stuck one in the shade in the compost underneath the plant and it survived so I moved it to it's own hole. It hasn't had the easiest life, but it should still yield a few ounces.
For comparison purposes, here's a picture of the other male who got the chop that day, and this is the typical structure that every other plant has taken besides the indica male. He was about 7'. Also, since I could basically tell he was male for at least a month or so, he didn't get any ferts during that time, and ironically, he was one of the healthiest looking plants. I should have just let nature do her thing instead of trying to juice them so much, haha. Live and learn =D
Take care, and thanks for reading.
