Another busy week in the tent, but it's a great way to beat the winter February blues๐Ÿ˜ƒ. I DECLARE WAR!!!!!! on fungus gnats๐Ÿ˜ก. On Feb.21 (Day 29) I repotted and reset my tent. I started by treating all the drains in my house with bleach, then hydrogen peroxide (3% USP). My plastic Blueberry pots were treated with a layer of landscape fabric to prevent the little buggers coming in through the bottom. Then all the gals were up potted with 3TBSP 4-4-4 and 1 TBSP 2-8-4 per gallon of media. The Blue Cookies and Glueberry OG went into 7 gallon fabric pots. I then mixed in 4 heaping TBSP of diatomaceous earth per pot into the top inch of media, and topped off the pots with an inch of GnatNix barrier. I then watered in slowly with a 4:1 ratio of ph'd dechlorinated tap water and hydrogen peroxide. ( 400mL water plus 100mL hydrogen peroxide to make 500mL of solution). Now...hopefully that will kill any larvae in the media, and slow the adults from relaying eggs. Then it was time to address the adults buzzing around my tent. I made a bunch of homemade sticky traps (See Grow Tip below), and some Apple Cider Vinegar traps. Today's body count on the traps is 29, and has been that for a few days. Feb.21 - Day 29 : Declared war on the fungus gnat. Made a bunch of gnat traps, and repotted and reset my whole grow tent. My girl went into a 7 gallon fabric pot, with amended soil 3TBSP 4-4-4 and 1TBSP 2-8-4 per gallon of media; however, I broke off a tip branch in the process (sh*t ๐Ÿ’ฉ). She then was watered in well with a gallon of the water/hydrogen peroxide 4:1 concoction. Feb.22 - Day 30 : Cleaned my warm mist humidifiers with vinegar to remove the hard water deposits. She has grown overnight!!! Feb.24 - Day 32 : She is off and growing fast. No transplant shock at all! or negative reaction to the hydrogen peroxide. Feb.26 - Day 34 : She has become a little hedge hog!! Time to defoliate and tie her down again before she gets out of hand! Gave her 1/2 gallon dechlorinated water pH'd to 6.6 and 1.5mL of calmag. Feb. 27 - Day 35 : This little girl is defiant!!!๐Ÿ’ช She's already rebounded and is ready for more defoliation and bondage! So that's what she got๐Ÿ˜‰. Grow Tip - Make your own re-usable sticky traps. Get a plastic file folder ( I found this one at Dollorama). Bright colours that mimick flowers seem to work best. Cut it up to make any size or shape of trap you like. Next I spread a thin layer of a product called tanglefoot ( I found this at my local nursery Terra $16 Cdn) Vasoline petroleum jelly would likely also work (although I have not tried that), onto the plastic trap. You can wipe the trap clean with paper towel, and reapply as needed. I Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Thanks for stopping by๐Ÿ‘Š. Till next week Arrivederci! DeaneR๐Ÿ˜Ž

@DeaneR, Because of this i just talked about the Battle^^, i know your fight with gnats. And yes she looks like ready to go in " beastmode"
DeaneR

@Mrs_Larimar, Still have to stay vigilant. As you know it only takes one little gnat to restart a colony! The mainlining is fun. Not sure when to stop though, and let her growup.

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks for your kind reply. I think I spent 4X as much time on my diary as I did on my plants ๐Ÿ˜€. I really hope new growers will look at my grows and become inspired to give it a try.

Hi DeaneR wow big army against the gnats, thy for the tip with homemade traps, I got 2 more things that helps. i tried everything you take, it helped much but best efford i had with predators i took Nematodes .... ( Steinernema feltiae) that killed them very good... but it takes a little and using the other things too , braucht me pace . the nematodes est the larvae of the gnats. so you have to fight the flies ...but all larvaes get killedand the nematodes stay in your soil looking for more And the second is bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) In my opinion the Nematodes helped best together with yellow traps
DeaneR
DeaneR
@Mrs_Larimar, do you think they can survive -15C for 24 hours? That is my worry.
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimar
@DeaneR, they send the nematodes with a cooling pack......they dont like it hot... cool makes them stay like dead. They dont like it hot....you se its no problem to let it send to you
DeaneR
DeaneR
@Mrs_Larimar,Haha, yes a big army to win! I though of getting some nematodes after Bulbi suggested them. I cannot find them locally, and I fear they would die in transit in this cold Canadian winter weather. Have also considered BTi, but it is hard to find locally as well, and a bit pricey online from the USA. For now, I will have my troops stand their ground in defence!

Solid looking grow, thanks for sharing all the details. Your training techniques are impressive, especially when she was small. I'm sure your results will be impressive as well. Going to follow along.

@DeaneR, haha I hear you. I do not have a filter at all,l. When you get to the front door you can already smell from the outside. I don't care a bit as it is legal here in Ontario. Wait until I put some plants outside, haha, the whole neighborhood is going to smell.

@BarrieGrower, Thanks bud, I am running a 6 inch carbon filter in my 2x4 tent... It can't keep up, lol. When I enter my house it face slaps you at the front door ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. After a few minutes you become acclimated to it, and don't recognize it anymore. I can't imagine not using the filter though. I need to set up an exhaust to the great outdoors, instead of dumping back into the grow room.

Looks amazing my friend cant wait to see her come into flower when do you expect to Flip ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰
DeaneR

@Silky_smooth, She has put out alot of pre-flower pistils over the last few days. I top dressed her with Gaia bloom 2-8-4 dry amendments yesterday, and plan to flip her Wed. Mar. 27. I want to allow a few days for the rootzone life to start breaking down this organic feeding...plus I need some time to build a ScRog frame.๐Ÿ˜†

Sheโ€™s looking great but just should cut her down a bit keeping only the top 2 max 3 nodes of every branch to not overcrowed her during her what i think is gonna make for an amazing flowering period ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰ keep it up ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
DeaneR
DeaneR
@Silky_smooth, I see what you're saying. I thinned out some shoots today. I'm thinking about trying to let the terminal ends turn upward, rather than topping them, and trim out some of the branching that is crowding. Not sure if I'm explaining my thoughts correctly, lol๐Ÿ˜ƒ
