Ya Eagle20 is the nasty, can't be good for you or anyone using it.

I don't have anything moral against pyrethrum, but I find it highly ineffective.

Really, know thy enemy. With that said, mites have a life cycle and science to how they reproduce, when they go into different stages of their lives and the more you understand that the easier it is to control them. Eggs can stay dormant for a long time, so just because you don't have mites right now, doesn't mean they can't be living on your floor, in your pots or on your walls. Basically they metamorphosis every 3-4 days and can only breed/lay eggs in their adult stage. So if you are using neem and azadirachtin products, you are going to inhibit their ability to eat/molt and evolve into those higher stages where they can reproduce. Something like pyrethrum is going to kill adults (hopefully) but isn't going to stop them from reproducing and having new generations hatch in your room.

I highly recommend Azatrol or Azamax as an azadirachtin concentrate to inhibit there metamorphosis.

Other things one can do is be careful about introducing new genetics into your rooms because of possible pests/pathogens that are living on those genetics. Also keep animals that have been outside out of your rooms as stow-a ways can be introduced. Also, bugs are attracted to decomposing organic matter, so clean and bag up the leaves/stems you cut away. Sweep often and keep things very clean.

I ran something similar to this but on a light mover but I love how you did your rows far better than what we ran.

Great ideas for our next build indeed!

Looking good Mr C. How often are ya watering?

Mr Celsius · 05-21-2012, 08:20 AM

Bonzo, medmaker420, OLDproLg, Hundred Gram Oz thank you all for your compliments and support. Welcome

Hundred Gram Oz, I've found coco to be a funny medium in that it doesn't dry out quickly, however watering it semi-often is a good idea. So right now, about every 3-4 days.

Almost finished with the autowatering system and changed where the exhaust goes. I was having a problem with the noise coming out of the window and the possible security risks from it.

I'll snap a bunch of photos when I finish the watering system and click them over to budding.

Mr Celsius · 05-23-2012, 08:49 PM

Hey ya'll, got the autowatering system installed, dialed in and got my flat room planted.

These are the adjustable drippers I use that are attached to 1" poly. You can unscrew the dripper and easily clean it out if one should get clogged for some reason.

1 1/4" PVC brings the water from outside the room and feeds the 1" poly tubes.

The reservoir is located outside the room and has two different runs of pvc with ball valves so I can water one half of the room at a time (was unsure if my 4/10hp pump could handle both, but it can).

Here's a general shot of the room where you can see I moved the ducting into the attic and not out the window anymore. Edit: Forgot to say this is there first day of budding and the trellis netting goes up tomorrow.

My brand new ballasts (sorry for shitty picture).

Freshly planted coco in 3gal smart pot amended with dolomite, azomite, oystershell, greensand using the full Cutting Edge nutrients line + voodoo juice, roots excelurator, humic acid, promote, hygrozyme, horticultural epsom salt and Acadian Seaplants liquid kelp.

A nice shot of my fake GSC, in other words New Wave. I love it when people scam me.

My buddy ran into the metal halide while it was on the other night and it exploded. It was pretty cool, cause it was still lite up before I quickly pulled the plug. Vert is dangerous if you aren't paying attention.

Nice drip system. That's not your first build...
