Who leaves there fan on the plants 247. Help keep mites population down!

[cirric]

Has anyone tried this. I am gonna try it, seems the perfect time for those little bastards to their damage. When the lights are off and everyones a sleep. Thinking the can do all they can do.
Probably make the stems sturdy too. Smaller more compact plants would be acheived. Plants like air flow so why not.

 

[Canniwhatsis]

Ummmmmm,..... really?



My fans run 24-7,... always have always will. Constant circulation of air stimulates stronger stems, and helps prevent molds and mildews from taking hold on your plants.


As for keeping mites down,.... nope, don't think it much matters.

 

[captaincaveman]

yea cirric i though i heard Jorge Cervantes say that if you put a fan at the bottom of your plants blowing up it make live hard for them bastards

 

[Hammerhead]

yes fans run all the time and I have never had mites....

 

[homebrew420]

fans run all the time, and always have...no help with the mites though.

Peace

dr doorites 120ml/gal + 2.5ml floramite. 1 thorough foliar apliacation LIGHTS OFF (1)once every 10 days, for 2-3 applications.. as in spray, wait 10 days, spray again, thenifyour cycle permits, spray again10 days later. Mites gone. For an extra kick add azamax to the mix at the regular foliar application rate. Erradicate them... do not fuck around and risk them becoming resistant to floramite.

Yeah I have actually seen this before but you need to have the fan going to industrial straight lol.The plants are amlost bending over lol. Really moving the plants so the mites can't take hold. It actually works .I might go around and remove any physical signs of mites and get a natural solution aswell. Peace out Headband707

Really, if it's to try and keep mites down,... NEEM OIL. Once a week in vege and your plants will be immune to them in flower. This Mighty wash stuff is supposed to work really well too, but I wouldn't know about it vs mites since I've never had the bastards. Seems to work well on every other bug I've sprayed it on tho.

My concern with Headband 707's comment would be wind burning the plants, because yes I've seen that happen too. Infact on almost every one of my grows, the tower fan I use to circulate under my screen will damage the leaves closest to it just from the force of the air hitting them.

 

[nickman]

i also leave all the fans on 24/7 ...

and like the last guy said , the buds closest to the fan will be wind burnt ...

Get plant vitality + = Get mite free

During veg I don't leave the fan on 24/7. I give the plants a "rest" from wind movement, usually during lights out. In nature/outdoors the wind doesn't blow 24/7 either.
During early stages of flower, again, fans off most of the time during the dark. As the buds get bigger, then I leave fans on more or less 24/7 to combat humidity/bud rot.

 

[Bretonston]

high humidity and low temp cause spider mites to slow down and produce at a slower rate
as well..do this and spraying with azamax( i feed 10ml per gallon a week too)it works good...then after the spray is dry i remove as much dying leafs and infested leaves off the plant as it can handle (veg only)...if you remove damaged leaves as new one grow in(i use the white damaged speck on the leaves as a guide) in a few weeks you should has zero spider mites...

 

[HobbyGrower]

I use a fan on a timer. saves on electricity. 24/7 is no problemo tho.

 

[guest8905]

fans 24 7 and also

spray c02 from your tank all over your plants every couple days, it will keep mites at bay b/c they wont be able to breath hahahahaa

seriously though

 

[FreezerBoy]

ON the plant? In close to 20 years of indoor growing, Never. Never had a mite either. If you want to strengthen plant stems, beat them up by hand. Fans just dehydrate the plant.

HEY

I JUST USED PLANT VITALITY PLUS...I'LL UPDATE YOU WITH THE RESULTS....DJ

You need to soak them plants in that stuff from above and below but trust me this will kill everthing....then three days later give them another spray and you will have gotten rid of them fuckers in no time.

Superhoops

 

[atomos]

i leave my fan on except when im working with the plants. the reason i keep my fan on is to make the plant stem gain some girth, keeps heat down, less chance of bugs getting on your ladies and having their way with them.
