[Blazed227]

Girls are looking frosty... so frosty😉😉

[alltatup]

Frost keepin the bugs away!!!!

[Blazed227]

Lol thats one way to keepem away

[alltatup]

Graff420 you need some praying mantises!!!

[Graff420]

alltatup Yea but they will try to leave the tent and they will freak me the fucc out lmao idk why but mantises are creepy af but i know ladybugs eat a good bit of soft bodied pest leafhoppers gnats anything soft they can hunt so ill just breed them out and every 3 to 4 days ill let go 2 in the tent and let them hunt then ill just breed lady bugs for fun hopefully my daughter will enjoy them next july when shes 2 lol so its a win win lol but other than that im hopeing i can find out how they are getting in my room so i can stop them drom comeing back i think ill have to get the shop vac bacc tho what pest bugs eat on leaves tho?

[alltatup]

Graff420 Go over to GWE and read about cannabis pests and pest sprays. Most of them are natural--not bad for us or the buds. I've got Neem oil and SM-90 at home for spraying leaves, and I already had a bout of gnats, so I also have gnatrol. Be prepared!!! And if you know there's bugs in your grow room and on your plants, take care of it now before it gets really bad. They prolly won't just go away on their own...

[Graff420]

Yea i got the sm-90 just waiting for it to get here already got gnatrol but its not fungas gnats just normal gnats because they are everywhere here iv mad sure they cant get near the res or the bottom of the plants at all where they can get to water but their is one bug somewhere i cant find it on the gwe site but it eats little patches out the leaves like vary tiny and har to notice intill the leaf grows out more leaf hopper marks on leaves are here i guess i just cant see it at all so going by what my gf says but if they were not the ones eatting my leaves then that other thing is but i got no idea what it is and it is the perfect bug at playing hide and seek seen it once 2days ago but cant find it anywhere anymore but i think that is the bug snacking on the leaves but hopeing the sm-90 will take care of it also

SMH i used the wrong box to type in lmao

[Graff420]

alltatup whats the best measurements to mix foliar spray with sm-90???

[alltatup]

Graff420 In hydroponic systems: Apply 2-3ml of SM-90 to each gallon (1ml per litre) of nutrient solution on a weekly basis, or whenever solutions are replaced.
In foliar sprays: Dilute 1 part SM-90 with 5 parts water to prepare a foliar spray. May be repeated every 3 days for up to 3 spray applications.
Shake well before using.

[Graff420]

Iight thanks a million lmao

[Blazed227]

I think lady bugs are 2 small to eat leaf hoppers or mealybugs... like alltatup said mantis would be the best bet besides the spray... i tried alchohol an soap mix an neem an azatrol an they laughed at me.. caught a brown mantis outside that i just seen one day an he killed them all... even fungus gnat larvae is gone.. i dunno if the dirt dried out good n they died or if he ate them but needless to say after a little over a week he cleared out the bugs in my tent an other room, .. he dis diasappear a few times but i think he was just a beast at hiding.. cause i SEARCHED!! He didnt try to get out or nothin he just chilled up on the rope holdin my light till he was hungry lol he freaked me out a little at first. But after a few days he would crawl i. My hand up my arm an sit on my shoulder lol no bs his leg poked me an freaked me outa few times cause i forgot he was there lol

[alltatup]

AMAZING animals. And smart as humans!! Seriously: what smart, perceptive critters they are. We so totally underestimate the intelligence of other species. I bet he totally recognized you and knew you were the one leaving him water and letting him feast.

[Blazed227]

Yea he did seem like he was pretty smart.. all i had to do was put my hand out infront of the pot or plant he was on an he would crawl right on lol an when he seen me with a water cap he started downn to me, cuz i alwYs put it on the same pot , or he was hangin out on that pot when i walked in, i didnt wanna let him go lol , but he 100% wouldnt have made it if i kept him, i did catch him a few crickets just to see him eat them lol

[Tazard]

No but doesn't the female kill the male like black widows?

[GanjaGed]

yep they do

[Blazed227]

They rip there head off an eat it lol i think the babies will try an eat each other to if they dont have food closeby.. or maybe it was the mom will eat them if she still around

[alltatup]

This is the beginning of week 8 since pre-flowers emerged on C99 and WW, who I moved to the front of the box since they will be done before the Black Dominas. They're hiding in the back.

I removed a fan leaf from the WW: that's a picture of its stem as well as the leaf. I've never seen anything like that stem before. It went straight in my hash bag.

[intergalactic_harvester]

i know that teach, if i thought u blocked me i care enough to ask you why, lol. you seem like a cool girl and i like learning from watching you learn too! and you grow interesting strains.

[Tazard]

Damn very good looking ladies.

[alltatup]

It's the genetics!!! I read in Rosenthal's book that the two most important factors in cannabis strength are 1. genetics and 2. harvesting at peak ripeness.

[alltatup]

ROOT ROT:

The roots were covered in slime when I looked this morning. It happened overnight, because I check my roots daily. Here is what I did: I removed the res. lid, took the plants to the kitchen and thoroughly sprayed the roots down, removing the disgusting, stinky, offensive, hatred-inspiring, trump-like debris from the roots. I removed the reservoir and thoroughly cleaned with H2O2; I scrubbed the air stones in H2O2 as well. Put everything back together, prepared pH'd water with grapefruit seed extract and nothing else and poured into reservoir.

Oh yeah: and I ordered another Active Aqua 1/10 hp chiller.

Now I have to go to _ucking work; my day is starting off terrible!!!!! ;-{

[alltatup]

Thanks for your support y'all Aloner yes the small grow box. Yes, I been to this rodeo...

[PaganRich]

Shit....sorry to hear that....hope the girls make a quick recovery

[GanjaGed]

That root rot wasn't very smart, it's about to find out it's in the wrong reservoir!

[Blazed227]

That sucks. =( ull pull thru tho an it will turn out great,keep us updated!!

[Sheesh]

Bummer but you'll figure it out Alltatup. I only know what I've learned from you and others regarding Hydro. Hydroguard for preventative, water temps, light leaks, res change but I know you are all over those items. Good luck, you'll figure it out.

[intergalactic_harvester]

you got this teach. but i know it can be frustrating!

[alltatup]

I THANK ALL MY HOMIES AND OG'S FOR YOUR SUPPORT.


I have noticed that many websites and experts talk about how much better it is to prevent root rot, but that doesn't help much when you already gots it. Just got home, roots not slick and yucky, so we shall see. I don't think I'm gonna lose my harvest or anything; if we can make it to Thursday, that should be when cooler arrives and straight down to 68 degrees they go.

[alltatup]

It's the ONLY day of work I've had since May! Been on summer break, now the semester begins again.

[Agentbuckwold3]

Just don't let lame school get in the way of teaching us newbies how it's done.

[alltatup]

Agentbuckwold3 hahahahaha!!! I would never let ANYTHING--family, job, relationships, house-cleaning, haircut, grocery shopping, quadruple by-pass surgery--get between me and my plants!!!!!!!!!

[alltatup]

Y'all don't forget please that I'm only a sophomore; I completed one year of growing on July 21.

[Graff420]

The peltier Thermoelectric module (TEM)gets really hot on one side and really cool on the other it somehow uses electricty transfers heat from one side of the tem to the other causeing one side to be cold and the other to be warmyou attatch a heat sink to the hot side and you can make a homemade probe id say outta stainless steel thatll sit submerged in the res for the cool side and youd have to make or buy a power supply box to turn your 120 ac house current into the 12 v dc current the TEM needs to run me and my dad are building some chillers and gonna try to wing them down to run off less power or imma just blow my ass away because i really suck with electricity

[alltatup]

POKEDSMOT Graff420 Yeah I got a lot of information from ellz on the Peltier, but it was way over my head, and still is. It's all Greek to me. So I realized if I'm gonna run two grow boxes I need two chillers.

[Graff420]

The next box i do im thinking of rigging up them TEM to their heat sinks and some stainless steel tubeing my dads gonna help me coil right i figgur 4 12V 5A TEMs on a 10 gallon res outside the tent so ill funnel it to 4 reserviors inside the tent the 4 TEMs should be able to keep the water cool even with the speed im going to be pumping water into the tent and back out i believe 4 should be good enough pros are i get more room in the tent for growing cons are all my resserviors will linked so iv got to find a deffinate cure for the rot i plan on running 8 plants in this tent and if i can talk my gf into it maybe getting another tent sence i already have another 1000w hid light set up just got to buy the rest so hopefully if not imma find a way to fit 8 in my tent i just want to grow ill keep enough for me to smoke and bury the rest in mason jars lmao but yea if it works ill figgur out a way to help you make the cooler

[Tazard]

My res varies from about 76 (early flower before canopy development) to 73 (full canopy). I use 2ml/gal Hydroguard.

[alltatup]

I've been using Great White for the most part. I tried some SM-90 in the reservoir and that's when the slime attacked.

[Tazard]

Hydroguard is a bottle of bugs. The bugs eat bacteria that causes root rot.

[alltatup]

HARVESTED C99 & WW THIS MORNING:

No slime in reservoir; GSE is doing what it posed to do. I took a close look at these two girls and saw a little amber, cloudy and some fluorescence, so I cut em down, trimmed and hung them to dry. Now my damn job is interfering with my taking pictures, so I only got one shot of WW's triches.

They smell so amazing!! Been reading Rosenthal on terpenes: fascinating and amazing plant perfumes.

[alltatup]

Tazard You are just a spring chicken!!! ;-}

[Tazard]

Roflmfao

[Capncanna]

Tazard ain't it the truth ! We're all one on this earth we all feel pain and joy , we forget that to often. And yep spring chicken, you are 😂 alltatup your so funny.

[Blazed227]

Yea, alot of jars is a good thing..i found about 80 jars in a cleanout (no lids an dirty) that hold a little over an ounce fully dry give or take, so i boild them clean.. well alot ofem lol haha clean the rest when i needem lol, great job with the girls alltatup , let us kno how much dry when its ready👍👍

[alltatup]

I will! Im estimating 2-3 oz.

[Blazed227]

Nice!! It looks like its gonna be some fire!!

[alltatup]

Blazed227 what did you do for lids? Order them? It must have been fun boiling all them jars.
