First off, god damn bro. 
You got skillz fer sure!
Second, im kinda clueless about growing. So bare with me.
Could you please explain about this or point me in the direction of a thread or link. I hadnt really thought about bugs causing burns or deficencies. Im having some deficency problems right now. And im trying to figure it out. I hadnt considered bugs yet. I do have an unholy amount of fungus gnats, and i think thats my only pest. But i do know root aphids can look like gnats, and im not sure i can tell the difference. Any info would be much appreciated.
sorry if i should have pm'd this

That sour power #5 looks wicked. That's all, carry on....
Ya Pappy check out the "Fungus Gnat or Winged Root Aphid" thread.. It's full of all the information u could ever want. Gnats can be a precursor or sign that an aphid infestation is close, from what I understand. The gnats weaken the roots which makes it easier for the aphids to fees off them. And it seems like when the infestation is bad enough the little bastards will start growing wings & leave the root zone. The plant just kinda freaks out while its roots are being chomped & starts throwing signs of deficiencies .. First it's random cal/mag spotting & then it progressed to what looks like phosphorus burn or an iron def. The plant stops drinking water, branches become brittle/weak, and she dies :-(

Dude, u just descibed exactly what is going down. I thought my calmag(general organics) went bad on me. But that didnt explain everything, like phos burn and iron def. Man, your spot on. Ive been beating my head in for days. Im gonna read that whole thread tommorow. Super good look bro!
and hopefully they will have that stuff at my local shop, so i dont gotta order it and wait. I got some pyretherin based stuff, (dr. doom or some shit). But i gotta get somethin to get them in the soil. Little fukers. I always thought gnats were harmless, untill i was pickin them all off of the buds and leaves. And now i know they really can mess stuff up. Thanx again
p.s. a few of my plants (at 5 weeks flowering) are at the 'stopped drinking water' stage of that progression. Well they drink, but about 1/4 of what they were drinkin 3-4 weeks ago. I wonder if there is any coming back from that. At best, my yields will be beat on.

Stop it bro. its not like you dont post pics, and we dont see how slammin your girls look. You humble mastard.
P.s. Im lovin that u got that candychem, and i know its the original. not the one from poor white farmer that is butterscotch hawaiian x 91.
super jealous.

Pappy,
i battled winged root aphids at the time 40oz did the thread and i hope like hell you dont have them b/c if you do jump on them fast.
i lost many strains but some came thru after bayer treatment and i transplanted 1 gifted cut from coco to a rich fresh organic soil that a friend used as a worm farm. there was a lot of crawling stuff in the soil but shit was dropping dead so i had nothing to loose and it bounced back fast. im not sure why it worked, the bugs/worms in the soil may have eaten them.
good luck if ya got them........you need it, from 1st hand experience.
peace
EDIT: you will not see them until an infestation is bad......then its tiny black specs crawling around the rim of the pot. from memory i thought they had a crab look to them but if you water then shit flys up........gnats.
a light top dress of DE (DIATOMACEOUS EARTH) will do but ra's will make you chase a mag def that you will never correct.
again, good luck.

The 9'ers are on fire over here!! Those frosty flowers with the early red pistils have swollen up and look ridiculous. I'll try and take a decent pic before lights on.
I get it
...the honey white's and her hybrids are new to me. im very excited to finally smoke them after watchin them grow for so many years!

Don't forget to make some bubble or oil with some of that HW, it makes head banging hash. I'm going to jump the gun a bit and cut a few 9'er branches this morning. You know they smell very similar to a great La Nina plant, greasy, astringent etc....I counted yesterday and I have 6, 9'ers although one more may be lost in the jungle...

My first run of my Melty Lucifer F2 BX.I used both the Frisco and cocaine clones with this batch with a Cali haze as a father. There are 3 seedlings in a 3gal pot of coco.The Cali haze brings out the orange smells compared to the sharper hazy tastes of the Nevils types.This 3gal of coco grew up a huge pile!

HA! Thought I was in the Mass/RI forum. Damned sour diesel!
Hahahahha NO PROBLEM MAN!
Lol, I could use a few of ur pics around here anyways, my shits been shabby for too long now.. Driving me nuts!!
Can't remember if I said anything, but we decided to ditch our "re-used" coco program. After doing a coco slurry pH test thru out the room everything was in check, although I still need to check the very bottoms of the big pots cus I just don't get the same relation of run off from them as compared to the small pots, obviously. So if salts are pooling, I'm guessing its down low. So we feel the REAL issue is that the physical properties of the coco change after a certain amount of saturation.. It seems like the coco compresses more these days and takes longer to dry out. We'll see if all the new coco + perlite I'm using will help oxygenate the root zone. Also tweaking our cal/mag recipe a bit more, we are still low on that end I feel.
Pics tonight or mañana.

Hey CDM,
haven't kept up with your coco re-use effort.
wondering if you are using an enzyme product to eat the dead root mass material left in the coco, you know, basically soaking down the coco with it and letting it sit a few months, then flushing that (basically fertilizer) out?
The coco itself of course does absorb and retain some moisture, but I think the difference in compaction and aeration your describe point to dead root material clogging up the coco.
Slip, that Luci BX is amazing. Looks like the flower structure is a bit more solid than the Melty F2s. Gonna be hard to know if the yield is up or just you have it dialed in so well. You are just killin it in there.

I can't say enough good things about H&G's 'Drip Clean' and 'Root Excelurator'.
I don't recycle my coco as much as I used to for my pot crops, but I always ran some Hydrozyme thru it a few times 1st, like Raho is saying.
