Using Cana Coir,White Widow Auto indoor,600w MH plus 300w Platinum LED, Tempreratures 77-50rh saw signs of small red like spider bugs also using house and garden nutrient feeding schedule but seeming to cause nutrient burn. How do I treat the insects safely and how moist cana?
Isopropyl (91% Rubbing alcohol) mixed to a 20% Dilution with water, spray the leaves all make sure you get underneath as well. does wonders to kill of pests and can see the difference in a day or two. Ladybugs and Pray mantis are awesome at killing pests and keeping the garden clean.
When i have mites the best results is when i just kill em between my fingers on the leaves. Its the hard way but more effective than spraying anything I managed to save a few grows like that and never had them destroyed my grow.
About house and garden top booster-i use it also and i had it burned a plant last year.
I use it half dose just once at week 4 flowering.
Be careful with that.
About temps-your plants look like heat suffering.
Make sure canopy temp is no more than 26c.
Make sure to dry soil before watering.
I use ladybugs to eat the spider mites and they do a great job. I haven’t really needed to use anything else. However you will end up with roughly 1500 ladybugs running around your tent. They will do no damage to the plant and keep any soft aphids at bay. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to find. You don’t want to really spray anything on your plants while they are in flower but if you can spray been oil on the underside of the leaves without getting it on the buds that will help too. I prefer the ladybug approach though and it is all natural.
Need Help. Very poor experience with Cana coir. Not sure if I should water everyday or like soil when it drys. Also signs of insect damage found red small like insects not sure how to remove
Left for three days on vacation gave a-lot of water and ready to feed when I returned. Doing some light LST training with two autos for maximum yield. Leaving the other larger auto alone so it an recover.
Starting flower great growth and istols forming. Only issue is the scrog technique is what i wish to implement yet the air condition is in the way. Doing LST training for one tall auto hopefully recovers
1st day using boost , will see what happens. Been trimming off lower bud sites to help tops bulk up. One particular auto resembling different looking bud sites then the others maybe a mystery or different genetics.
beginning flush ppm sitting at 2000! Figured this is high for Cana so Im hoping over the next few days more I can get that ppm down especially since I used a pest control. The trichomes are mostly cloudy but not much Amber so hoping another week will do the maturity some good.
Drying in grow room with temperatures aroun 65-70* and a rh of 50-60%. Using a humidity controller and place scrubber on the outside of tent to pump fresh ac air to keep humidty down
One of the plants saved the day. Very big buds somewhat dense but not much weight. Over al learned that pre;-trimming smaller nodes may be best. Super cropping autos does work.
@Patriot702 Well, I see 4 types of potential solutions : mechanical control, nettle mix, insecticide spray, and leaf protection. Mechanical control = use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the visible insects/moths/spiders (be gentle and very careful) and simply kill every insect you find by crashing it. Nettle mix = natural way to drive insects away, but this will require an extra couple of days for your soil to dry (However this will ensure you the soil is no more contaminated). Insecticide spray = could be handmade with potassium soap or you can find advanced chemical solutions in your local growshop. Here are the efficient molecules: tebufenpyrad, deltamethrin, abamectin, pyridaben. Spraying chemicals is always tricky: could be the most efficient solution, but remember you will smoke what's coming out of this plant, this is definitely not recommended when blooming has begun, some compounds may take months to completely dissapear. Leaf protection: using an organic spray (like Biobizz LeafCoat), you will apply a protective layer over the leaves. In your case, I would try a nettle mix + a leaf protection spray, and if your squatters are not gone in a week, go for chemical insecticides very lightly. I'll be around, good luck with these babies! 👊
She s coming nice and easy. You did not not burn her and I also noticed 1100 ppm has its uses, More is overkill and one plant will useit and another will show tips burn.
She s and auto so why do ou use 12 h light only? Mine are happy with 20/4 and yeaild is by far more then 1 g / W with very modestly priced Meizhi Reflector 300 W.
I checked this grwolog and you abruptly changed to 12/12 end week 4.
Maybe it is a manner from growing full season MJ. Consider.
2000ppm is very high. I would have expected signs of lockout or burn, but they have held up very well. As you flush, I would expect any lockouts to be released and I'd expect another flush of calyx creation as the plant is released from lockout(s).
I commented on strech at this stage a while ago. I have now 1 auto white widow from zambeza and today being day 45 from sprout is 95 cm tall ,yes no mistake 95 cm. This is some stretch I was talking about.;)
I’d recommend using neem oil to combat the insects. Neem is safe for your plants. Your coco should be moist, not saturated, about 2” down. I take my index finger and stick it all the way in half way between the main stalk and edge of the pot to feel if it’s wet, moist or dry. If dry, I water. If wet/moist, I wait.
@bobo420,Lowered the light and got temperatures under control. Less stretch now but seems stunteed growth for some reason. New to cana coir having issues mixing a,b nutes not sure of the amount. Using 25ml of A,B
