Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering.
Man,, I've had a good outbreak of fungus Gnats this week. Best in years. Wow they just kept coming. I had some old, I mean more than 7 years old, yellow sticky strips and stuck 1 in each pot and 1 up by the lights. There must have been hundreds of them. I put Spinosad in the reservoir twice. They have finally slowed down and I haven't seen any today. But Wow.
It's funny I can go along for years and hardly have any problems and then I get hit with things I don't expect. I put some vermiculite and perlite in with the clay balls so the water doesn't go straight through the clay pellets. So I will put some diatomaceous earth in with the perlite next time to cut those dirty little gnats up.
You can see the damage they can cause to the leaves, eating the edges the way they do. They liked the Sister Amnesia Lemon but didn't eat the Pink Kush Much.
Everything else is doing well in here. This is the last week of food for the plants. And I will be starting to flush next week.
See you then. Chuck.
@Chucky324, hmm yeah i was aware of its properties actually it was more a personal opinion query really but i think we can all appreciate the extra knowledge provided :) Thanks and GL with the grow!!!
@Sublyme_ness, Hi Buddy. I haven't ever had any problem with copper. I like copper because it doesn't rust. I the hospitals have found that super viruses can't live on it's surface, it kills them. I put copper wire in the soil to hold up my seedlings without problems. Garden tip: slugs and snails won't crawl on it, put it around you outdoor plants. Chuck.
@Chupadeos, Hello. Here in Canada it's the Department of Health that looks after the medical licenses. So I would start there. A internet search would be a good idea. Just ask google. Chuck.
