reduced my numbers per crop from 8 to 6 and upped the pot size slightly and got a little better yield than I was getting, thanks for the advice asslover.

Been layin low lately over here. Had to chop everything and shut down for now. All of the clone only strains are backed up with a good friend so nothing is lost. Hopefully i can get things going in a few months. I hate not having a grow to tend to.

Hope everyone else is doing good. Be safe guys!!!

Sucks to hear your not growing, but it's damn good to hear your safe!
I'm sure plenty of us would set you up if needed with what ever we have.:ying:


I believe I'm getting a better handle on my mite issues. The "nuke" cleared up the plants in the veg rooms. Azasol is doing wonders in the flower rooms. All the new growth is clear of bite marks and all I can find are dead mites so far.
I'm going to bomb all of the rooms tomorrow, I just hope these bombs are not to strong at 0.50% Pyrethrins.

With that said, I sure I can get that Chunk and C99 out to you guys. ........I just don't want to be the one that give you guys crabs...
I'm going to clone the C99 soon, I'm just waiting for some more fresh growth. That way it will be egg free, I'll double check them with a loupe just to make sure.

Be Safe,
MK:ying:

Better safe than sorry GrownOut, always.
MK, shit man i can't believe you're still fighting them fuckers. Good luck with the Pyreth bomb. I like to set those off every now/again on the outside of my rooms to kill anything that may slip in while the doors' open.

bombs are a joke, maybe they work for tents? not for me... you really need to spray avid once on everything vegging to completely shut them down. if you are diligent and THOROUGH you can beat them with neem but again, mostly in a tent.

for regular mites, a no pest strip will get em if your in a tent.
if you don't want to use chems try the heat treatment for broad mites.
or as ceosam said avid will deliver em DOA
or forbid, has an ovacide

Those are not Dr.Doom bombs, they have 0.04% pyrethrins while these FMC foggers have 0.50%, BIG difference.

A few pages back I go over the pest regiments I've been using. I've done everything short of shutting down to remove them without using AVID, all the while a bottle in the cabinet.

Here recently I used AVID in my veg boxes, and yes DOA. So now I'm hitting them with pyrethrins five days after Azasol. Every five days they are getting something, except AVID, that was a one time NUKE to get some ground. It's working I a shit ton of new growth without damage and more inportantly from what I can see, no eggs.


I still use the shit out of neem, hell I spray it all over the place. But when it comes to flower the Azasol kicks ass, more punch them Azamax and no OIL. Without the oil the pistols don't get fucked up!:dance013: It seems pricy when you first look at it, but you use so little the $45 packet WAY out last the a quart of Azamax.


Also while on good news. If you guys remember I bought a nice microscope a couple of months back. I can say I don't have Broad Mites. Every single thing I found was either a "good guy" or of no consequence. So good more good news. I treating my coco with neem and pyrethrin from some concentrate I picked up, all in all the girls are looking happier.

Thanks.

Hey, two questions.

First; How is the second ductless working?

And second; Did you see those pics of the GG trics I posted a few pages back? They are in my album if you don't want to page back.

From my understanding + expereince, Avid was a one-time use for a full plant lifecycle of effectiveness because it is systemic and grows into the plants cells? Obviously this won't work if you have some untreated plants and then take some clones later that are not treated either. I'm just trying to get it straight in my mind. Glad to hear your winning the battle tho ;)

The second mini split works like a charm! I doubled my wattage and it works much better than one big mini split.
The trich's look normal to me, nice and purple :)
The GG, as well as the Purple Diesel, are true purple strains. Most purple stuff i see is only purple because of cold temps, the GG and the PD are purple right down to the meat. So much so that the hash will be purple :)

Glad the A/C worked out for you. It's nice to have some redundancy in case of a problem.

Yeah, I thought you would like them. Before those I didn't think that trics would be colored anything other then clear, cloudy and amber.

Be Safe and enjoy the whether,

Boy I don't know about you guys, but when I've been in the flower room long enough for the ppm to clime to 1900+ I start to feel a little wooogie.
Afterward I have to sit down and eat something, all in all it takes me about 20mins to get my shit together.


Enjoy the wonderful whether, this is what we sweat for all summer and into the fall. I've been tearing up the yard with a gas powered wood chipper I just bought from Harbor Freight, works like a champ....and it's great for getting rid of other shit to!:biggrin:

yup, same here
a couple hours @1750ppms and I feel like i need a siesta.
like you said MK....15-20minutes and I'm ready for round II.

I got lucky and was gifted a woodchipper years ago,
those nasty rootballs aren't so nasty anymore
and after lollipopping the plants then filling up a 20 gallon wash tub full a riding lawnmower makes it---->gone in 60seconds :smoke:
