hey gM - looking good

i wouldnt worry too much about the gnats - some diotomacious earth or neem oil will help. try and keep the soil as dry as possible especially at the top. couple of good threads here at IC about controlling them.

ill be back to read through properly at some point!

stay safe

Hey Mrbig, VG, and OZ. Thanks all.

I did have some mites in my flower cab (storage for now) but not in my tent. Just a few gnats. Don't think I've seen more than 5 or so at a time. And I bottom water so tops are usually dry.

Thanks WMT. :smile:

I actually haven't been trying to think about yield and just gettin stuff done. So I'll be happy if I just grow some quality meds.
Of course I'm hoping for as much as possible. :D
I have quite the tolerance. :(

a lil more on the pest strips

a lil more on the pest strips

I used them in my previous box grow (follow the link) that had a i think an 80 cfm fan and it actively killed or drove them all away and use them in my current grow for prevention and haven't had any problems its in the lower chamber of my 2 chamber grow box on a 150 cfm fan..... also found the sticky fly paper things work to drastically control them... neem oil also works wonders and leaves less concern for the chemicals

Interesting. I thought I read somewhere to not have them inside or around people at all.
Could be something else I'm thinkin of though

I dont think theyre that bad.

Thanks Vegan.

Well I found out yesterday that all the clones turned out to be males
One guy had a bunch so I dont feel too bad only have one
They are going to replace it when they can. :smile:

Looking good man.

If you're looking for a bigger yield, how about running a Scrog setup next go around? A 250watter performs really well in a scrog.

Looks like some good :joint: this round. Awesome job for your first time.

Thanks CW. :smile:

I have thought about doin a scrog. Only thing that turns me away is that it could be hard to get to all the plants. but possibly one big plant if I get the right strain eventually

I know I'll try it one time atleast in the future

LMAO thats too funny. i've thrown out about 50 cuts that i got confused, kept the ones i didn't want and tossed out the ones i did. ended up with a crop of not what i wanted. lol at least it wasn't a male though.
