250W CMH grow - in soil from seed.

[colonelbogey]

Had no problems so far Suby. Last 2 grows I suffered from spider mites. Stopped growing for 2 weeks in the summer and haven't had a problem since (fingers crossed). Biggest problem at the moment is lack of space! But I suppose we all want a bigger grow space.

Like the fridge grow you got going. How do you manage with that tiny amount of space, and what sort of yield per plant do you expect. I have been pulling between an ounce and an ounce and a half per plant up until now, although i am hoping for better things this time. This is my third proper grow and i think i am getting things more sorted, useing plagron dirt instead of the rubbish from the local garden center, reppotted in to bigger pots etc etc.

Keep it sweet in the green room

Thanks dude the fridge cab is going strong, it's my first run in it with a new strain so yield is anyones guess.
Night temps have been getting down below 6o at night during lights out (i live WAAAAAY North lol) right now I'm dialing it all in, I will be adding a heater behind the cab with an internal thermometer sometime soon.
I will update with a few pics this wek, I sucked at keeping grow diary threads.
Those plants where LST trained, I am still sexing this strain from seed so I had to keep the planters seperate.
Next run I am doing 12 clones SOG style flowered early and kept short, that will be hot I think.
I have done smal grows andhue groww, am out of the commercial scene and glad it's just a hobby again.

I like a living organic soil, I recycle my used stuff, add dry organic nutrients to it and reuse it again, it only gets better IMO.

Looking nice TC. Worried about the Godberry clones. Desperately need repotting.
Have reset lights in veg room to 16/8 from 20/4, to try and slow things down a bit. Might be able to sort them out in the morning otherwise it will be tuesday.

Would love to see an update of tyhe godberry mod thread mate, to see whats in the shed.

peace

Borg in the clone room!!!!

Borg in the clone room!!!!

Just discovered spider mites on all my Godberry clones. Has spread to other clones in clone room and to mother plants. About 20 plants in total. I have suffered form spider mites in the past, but eradicated them by shutting down for a couple of weeks.

Dont know what to do. Want to trash the lot and clean clone room, before they spread to the flowering room.

Any suggestions?

pyrethrum sprays, insecticidal soap and predatory insects

So you wouldnt go for the genocide option and trash the clone room to try and save the flowering room ?

I would use beneficial insects, then neem, then pyrethrum as the nuclear option. I have never had to trash a grow, even though I have had to deal with various nasties.
