I swapped to plant magic supreme soil found it a lot better soil no twigs sticks and who knows what it looks more like coco not swapped back. Having great results results with old timers bloom running it at half strength. One thing I've noticed is the leaves stay green longer. Which is my dilemma have read some say you don't need to flush when growing organically but that goes against what I always do may just do a shortened flush. The buds look more resinous and smelly at this stage will be sticking with the Oldtimers bloom very impressed with it plus so simple no need to take ph its always spot on. To get the full benefit though you must use the granules during veg these are the beneficials that the oldtimers bloom feeds as well, you can really see the difference in the root system there thick right to the top of the pot. The yield is just as good as my old chemical grows if not better as they are that much healthier. Can happy recommend them wish I'd gone Organics years ago.

Found thrips on some of my cuttings so using Dr Schimmel Thrip Terminator used to use Plant Vitality Plus for most things but that's been taken off all the shelves. The Dr Shimmel Thrip Terminator has been taken of a lot of shelves but it can still be bought, its funny the stuff that actually works they recall. The Thrip terminater kills larvae, eggs and adults mine plants picked up overnight after using it plus nothing can be seen moving. They also do a spidermite treatment as well.

Don't know whats in the thrip killer but i would advise not to use their spider-mite killer.That stuff burns the hell out plants,only used it once and it nearly destroyed every leaf it was sprayed on.

Wavy,i'd def flush them,it's nonsense that you don't need to flush organics.I've smoked plenty of nasty,un-flushed organic bud.

i use the multirose 3in1 concentrate for all my insect problems that ive come across and it works every time it doesnt work on spidermites but works on all other bugs ive had in my room also kills the mildew but most importantly stops it the airborne mildew from latching back on due to the rapeseed oil thats present in the mix

if you want an organic treatment then spraying a high quality act will do the trick

I am using the GHE 3 part nutes with great success but I also use Canadian Express Headmasta and Rootregen at 1ml per litre and Superior Potash during flower. :tiphat::ying:

Nope had excellent results with it, just wanted to do a side by side grow with something else to see if there is any difference.

But as they say if it ain't broke don't fix it
