Are you a Jewish black male lesbian? That's pulling the ultimate card cause they can't pull anything to beat ya lol

Sounds like a lovely jungle you got in your basement CDM!!

Fuck mites slip ... Hate them bastards but I do like these organic pepper mint and Rosemary and lavender sprays ... All organic plant oils and the best part .... The mites suffocate Mwahaha Mwahaha

Hey Gemini, I've heard about these sprays and I've even talked to a few shop owners who sell essential oils.. They always speak vaguely around the topic.

What are some of the ways/ratios to make a solid mite spray? Any threads you've seen about it? Bet it would be a game changer for my buddies that grow outdoor!

Cheers,
BeL

There's a few threads in the organic section and pest prevention area ....


I'm sure there are a few different recipes but the one I use is .... 1gal water, 1tbs Epsom salt, 1g fulvic acid, 2tbs neem oil, 1/4# chopped up plant material; Rosemary leaves, lavender leaves and flowers or peppermint leaves ..... Drop in an air stone and bubble for 24hrs ..... Strain out the matter ...... And dilute that 1:1 and spray ..... Spray @Day1,day4,day8 and day 12 ..... Everything should be dead and the life cycle broken ...... I had a nice PVC spray system ready to go into my gh but landlord selling the house so gh never got put up ...... Would have been interesting to see how it handled the bugs

You can buy bulk horsetail online and make horsetail tea.It's chock full of silicone and deters mites rather well according to some Croatians I know who do some great organics.Ice water in a spray bottle slows them down a good bit too if they're making webs on your colas.Apparently it works well in some of the wetter parts of Hawaii against PM.I tried it but it seemed to affect the flavor of the finished product.

hey what u know about croatians by ...

 

[Slip Kid]

I know a guy from there who's an organic farmer.I only know him via the web but he's sure given me some perspective about how easy it is here.He was drafted into the war over there back in the late 90's.You might see me joke around a bit but from the way he says the bullets fly over there, it makes our "racial tensions" look like a lunchroom brawl at a private school . Other than Mexico and Canada I've yet to leave the states...He has some great grows over at Sammies.

had some extra time one night this weekend, so i decided to make a rolling Flushing Table...

those are 2x4 trays, one on top and one on bottom. i perforated the top tray to allow the water to run evenly to the catch tray below.

once in the bottom tray it will drain out from underneath & pump to the slop sink.

...so i decided to do this mainly cus we've been having these nutrient issues i keep bringing up. i think its a number of things.. this new environment is a big learning curve. was def getting some heat stress, so i installed box fans underneath each 1kw vert bulb. also def getting salt build ups easier in these big girls, which is swinging the pH and giving me gnarly phosphorus deficiencies. got 'em on the 6/9 diet now & a couple running KISS to see how i like it. wanna keep these huge Number Elevens super sexy all the way thru flower this time........

I spent the first year of my life in Newfoundland at the Navy base in Argentia.My old man had some great jokes about the women there, stuff my mom wasn't supposed to hear...Anyplace with a town named Dildo is fine with me.I know a big ogre with a summer house north of Dildo out on the peninsula, what a place, nobody around for miles and miles.

 

[The Baphomet]

yeah i know the place .... heave away !

 

[lloyd_christmas]

ChemD, are you using seagreen? That stuff really helped me with any salt buildup, among other things..

 

[Blaze 12]

@ Baphomet i also been using seagreen last couple grows and love it ...Was the reason you used the seagreen 3ml during flush to help the plants use up the rest of the food in the soil..im about to start flushing in the next week so im just wondering

 

[lloyd_christmas]

BTW, happy victory over Japan day to all my fellow Rhode islanders....

 

[Blame Canada]

hell ya only state to still celebrate it

 

[ChemDgMillionre]

Ya Lloyd we been using SeaGreen just for final flush. Got a gallon on the way, gunna start using the whole way thru + a flush on big trees every 2 weeks.

Is it just me or is August way cooler this year than most? Maybe it doesn't concern most of you, but trying to predict the weather and keeping your fingers crossed isn't easy in New England....

anyone hit up that Atmosphere/Slightly Stupid show in Boston last week? I saw some kids showing off pics of their plants there ha

 

[Slip Kid]

The weather seems more like it was when I was a kid and came here for the summer(the 70's), nights in the low 60's and days not over 80 much.It's likely my memory is toasted but the last several yrs Aug nights have been in the mid 70's and early September has been warm too.This August def seems cooler.I stopped swimming a few weeks back without a wetsuit, I just wasn't sweating bullets like June and July.The ocean used to kick up more in August too, I know that for sure because my surfboards are starting to compost, still it could be I'm fatter and older.

 

[Blame Canada]

Yeah it's deff cold for the beginning of August can usually still hit the beach not this year

 

[GEMiNi GENETiCS]

People keep hatin' on my boy ^^ ..... he's a cool cat ..... He's NOT the same person as basementgrower or ALONE FYI ..... Cause I know in the beginning people though he was
