I have also been battling spider mites, I have tried predatory mites for the first time and can’t really tell if they’re working or not. Have you used them before and how did they work out for you.?
@2highforu, i used a agressive shedule of neem oil every 3 or 4 days from just before bloom til week 2/3 then ill let them go til week 5/6 then release the mites. mites are not a magic bullet but as a way to control the other mites without spraying they do great . they also seem to gaurd off another surge for few months. i usually put 2x - 4x the call for amounts. ive recently added spinosad in between the neem oil during late veg and transition. Ive also noticed my lemon pie x amensia haze gets hit harder than my thunderfuck or bulk so strain definitely plays a big role in control.
I like your setup, Gnome! Nice garden!
I use similar lights and the same TerraAquatics nutrients as you - although I also use Vitalink CalMag or CalMagic.
It'd be good to know what pH buffer and up/down you might use and what you think about them - I use GrowthTechnology pH 4.
You've done a good job with the carpentry and I can see some netting there.
Are you gonna start a ScrOG with these guys..?
I'm gonna probably have to do it with some of my outdoors guys, as I don't want them at 250cm tall :P
But we'll see how they fare - they're not even 2.5cm tall right now, so I am behind schedule for the autumnal harvest!
Good luck gnome! Looks like a pukka setup there buddy!
