JRABTHEARABstarted grow question 6 years ago
What are some good preventative measures besides the obvious (being clean, no outside stuff inside etc) to keep pests at bay? I have yet to deal with bugs but I'd love to know a method of prevention that's close to fool proof. I dont want them :)

You can use Cannacure, its a nice product, to prevent pests and so on. It contains Neemoil too, and some benefical additives. Its very economic and easy to use ( they say even to a flowering plant. ) You can grow "company plants" like marigold, geanieum, basil ( all stinky stufff) Ihave been using nictotine tsolutions, neemoil solutions, plants..................................................https://www.growbarato.net/en/canna/118-cannacure-spray-1l-plant-protector.html#/capacity-spray_750ml

As prevention you can foliar spray with a bit of neem oil ( the smell will keep bugs away , the oil will kill the living bugs ). On the surface of the soil you can add something like clay balls , perlite or any layer in case of a fungus gnat invasion ( the larva are climbing from the soil to the plant). Last thing that could be useful is diatomaceous heart because it is "drying" the bugs but it is working better with a dry environment

Music and PlantsAt what level should you play classical / instrumental music , I already know it's one of the top kinds of music you can play for your cannabis plant, more so then heavy metal music. Would anyone know at what volume it should be for the plant ? or does it matter?Techniques. SoG

Space vs. PlantsLets not go to the moon on this one, just some specs for a 2x2.5ft vs 2x4ft would be nice. Consider a combination of Photos and Autos... really need room for a 4'x4'Plant. Other

First time SOGIn a 4'x4' area, how many plants should I run? I was thinking 9 or 16. Recommended pot size? Any other suggestions, pro tips, or precautions to consider in a SOG? This will be my first attempt at using this growing method and any advice is appreciated. Thank you and happy growingWeek 1

SoG first time, 6x Quick One AutofloweringThis SoG setup could work? I've choose 5L Air-Pots and I can place 6 of them inside the 60x60x140 tent, still not sure about applying defoliation but I'm guessing that will be necessary. First time SoG, I've always grown pairs of photoperiodic plants in the same tent.Week 1

Is it safe to run oscillating fans after sprinkling diatomaceous earth on the top while in seedling stage ? The stuff is so fine and light I think it could fly and cover the babies.They act as microscopic razor blades for fungus gnats - could these blades harm the babies as wellWeek 1

About those fungus gnats, I definately won't be buying bags soil from the same distributor next time. Since this pest is something most growers wind up with on occasion so do you try to add preventatives to your soil mix every time or take some other steps?Week 3
