Update: the diagnosis from the gang here was thrips. I hit the plants (and the grow room) with a pyrethrum spray yesterday. Today I discovered that dead thrips are much easier to spot than live ones. Hehe! My Azamax should arrive tomorrow; I'll do a follow up treatment with that and then add the D.E. (I refuse to look up the spelling on that one again!) and hopefully things will be under control

DAY 42
Well, they're no longer very pretty, but the damage doesn't seem to be getting worse. Hopefully the pyrethrum got the little shits. After reading the label on the Azamax that arrived today, I wimped out and ordered some air filter masks; I'll delay using it until they get here on Tuesday. Two of the plants are on flower nutes now. The third seems to have stalled out in height as well, so I'll probably start it with tonight's watering.
By the way, I picked up a second air circulation fan, so the group photo starting with last week's post shows the plants always in the same spot rather than rotating around as before. A is in the back, B is front left and C is front right.
Plant A:
Plant B
Plant C
And a close up of A that I thought was kind of cool...
I can't figure out if the top two are starting to claw, or if it's just that my tent is too small for three plants!

BR' buddy-- no worries about the Azamax! It's food safe, right? Recall, it's a derivative of neem oil, which is made from neem seeds,... your nose will tell instantly-- smell just like neem does,....***.... 
--diatomaceous earth! Powder o' Death! I like that you're hitting them with the 1-2 mixed punches... they act on them in different ways, so the hurtin' comes in kind! 
Did you scour the room and shit/debris/equipment as well? Remember, they're f'ing Ninjas.... 
-- give them no place to hide! I'm glad you finally spotted some their rotten little corpses....
keep that pimp hand 
warm and ready mate, and you'll win this war! 
...DE, ASAP,....

It got over 100F yesterday and is supposed to today and tomorrow as well. Temp in the tent peaked out at 91. I know I'm being rough on these poor ladies, but I just couldn't wait until fall to get started!
You know, I thought I covered the area well, but I just thought of something. The lttle shit producers could probably get under liner that goes in the bottom of the tent; I'd better pull that liner out and hit the base of the tent with the Azamax when I do it. I'll see if I can manage that tonight when I get home from work. And I have GOT to get the DE in; not doing it yesterday was just pure laziness. I guess I was thinking like a "non-gardner" and ignoring the fact that the next life cycle of the bastards was bound to be going on...BR' buddy-- no worries about the Azamax! It's food safe, right?

Couldn't remember the brand names lol zoned stoned
I'll tell you one thing (although this was the plan already); I'm taking next summer off from growing. The electrical set up in my apartment is pretty low. I can choose to a) grow weed, or b) use the air conditioner. The fact that I chose weed over a/c in the middle of summer just goes to show what a stoner I am!
