Lady bugs are nice to have in a grow room, they will eat aphids and even spider mites if their hungry enough. Taurus's are quite bull headed from my experiences with them, I'm a Scorpio :firedevil:
Haha, yes...we are quite bull headed but it does sometimes work in our favor. Also, along with being good in a grow room, I've always viewed lady bugs as being a sign of good luck, so I couldn't help but smile when I saw it. For the life of me though, I cant seem to figure out how he got in here!

Lady bugs look for a warm spot to overwinter so it's pretty common to see some indoors in the fall when the weather starts to cool off. Here in the south it's not unusual find piles of them in garages, attics or crawl spaces where it's a bit warmer, so much so that it can be a problem and pest control companies offer services where they spray the outside of your home to keep them out.
Day 6 Pics
I was going to wait until tomorrow to do this, but I'll be away from the babes for a couple of days so I'll do it now.
My soil is still a tid bit moist, however I topped off my pots with dry soil. Should I do a full water, or just moisten the top layer before leaving? Mom's will be looking in on them just to make sure nothing serious goes wrong, and to lift the lights if need be, but I didn't want her to have to worry about watering and such if she doesn't need to.
As for the lil' ones...
The Cheese was the first to pop, and first to sprout, but it is also one of the smallest. However, it looks the best out of them all.

Widow is looking good too, but [as expected] a day or two behind the rest. Guess you could call it the runt of the litter.

There is one that I'm semi worried about, its Bubbleicious #1. Its looking a little...awkward. The larger leaves are "crinkly", and the smaller ones are curling under. Also...in the center its more of a yellowy green than the true green of the others. No trauma has occurred so maybe it just wants to be the "unique" one. Any thoughts?

The Widow and the Cheese have stayed short, but the Blueberry and the Bub's stretched a bit. Been sticking to a 18/6 schedule however annoying it may be. Im using a timer but since I wasn't supposed to be starting in my room, Its throwing off my sleep schedule. Here's my question, would it hurt them if I switched the times? Like, if I still keep the 18/6 but move it forward a few hours? And if I do, should I leave the lights on during that transition, or off?

The original change will bug them a little bit but nothing to be concerned over so just leave the light on. My ladies sleep at the same time I do, my timer clicking and lights coming on is my alarm clock :thumbs:
