i killed the one ant i saw in my entire house. i keep the rest fairly cold 65-68. should i pull them spray room and then let air out for a day?

How much run off do you water till...

[Royal Nugs]

This is definitely true with aphids. Aphids swap sugar for ant bodyguards.

[r3m1]

no lol i have been checking by drops in water no soil ph meter but that

[Royal Nugs]

Azatrol usually leaves a glossy sheen on the leaves. I'm not seeing it on yours. How are you diluting it? How are you applying it?

[South Sierra Dude]

nothing is flying around or bug wise, besides the occasional spider or ant.

Ants have the same issue humans have. We are not just primary consumers also we are secondary consumers. Scientists don't know how but ants wrangle other bugs like cattle. Kill the ants or your bug problem is permanent.

concrete is actually pretty warm lol, but ill lay some of the peaice of wood or reflective sheets i have under them

[Green75]

1....really looks like bugs..thrips..
2...the meter in the picture..is that also your ph meter?
3...I'm waiting for answer before I continue...

[r3m1]

nothing on the plants but some soil specks that might get on leafs or etc, but i and blow them off easy. thrips any other signs id see besides on plant?

[Royal Nugs]

Get them off the concrete too. Put a cardboard box under them or something. Concrete sucks warmth from anything it comes in contact with.

[Royal Nugs]

Looks like mites or thrips. I'm guessing the former. I hope I'm wrong. Spinosad usually wrecks thrips. Mites are a different story...

i have starting bring ph down i started at 6.5 then to 6.0 now at 5.0 using drops to test. i have been spraying for bugs since day one with azatrol insecticide
, just sprayed yesterday for 3rd time. i prob spend majority of my day looking them over, and i pay close attention to them.

meter works for the most part, like i said i monitor my ph thru water before any fed or water, i check with the soil meter but i dont trust to fullest. but i had checked water with drops then that and it was reading same.

nothing is flying around or bug wise, besides the occasional spider or ant. i cant seem to see any pest on the plants either

I grow in coco perlite mix. All past grows in Flora trio GH.
i am repeating myself here ..so just my opinion:
i am thrilled with my BlueLab pH pen. I consider it very reliable.
i pH to 6 - 6.1 feed or plain water...drain to waste.
are the spots kind of silver-ish? With little black poo on underside of leaves? If so could be Thrips.
i consider pH to be ones great concern. BlueLab is easy to calibrate ( even I can do it) follow instructions and it will serve you well.
hang in there & best regards
