Hey man. Wanted to say thanks for all the great advice!
So I found some DE pesticide (organic) that I can get tomorrow. Does this help prevent them from coming back?
And do you know what may cause them to
Occur bc I haven’t seen any flying around.
@Bootlegelkk, hey pal
More than welcome..
Well, mainly what I've found. Is they come from larva that is dormant already in your soil. (So, stored outside in a humid climate) they find their way in through air holes. Or when it's been packed.
And, if you just heat treat your soil before you plant. If you have a hot shower you can run that over it. I use kettle water, and then put foil over my pots and leave my soil cooking in steam for a bit. But, if its anywhere supersoil or anything. Its best to bring the temp down if you water treat it after a few mins. All larva should be dead by then.
Or 220c in oven. And till the soil. Now, this will make a stink, so, I prefer the 1st as I don't like my house smelling like a cow shit all day.
You musta got the 1 I got.
Your soil needs to be bone dry regardless okay. You can feed from the bottom. But, if they running all round your pot. You can also lay sticky pads in your soil. With some cinnamon in the middle, it's a natural fungi and they love fungi, so they'll go for that, and get stuck.
Good Growing pal. Anymore Q just shoot me a DM
Yes the temp has been cold in the shed it costs too much to heat the shed so Iv got my tent that’s the only thing that’s kept warm I was having an issue with condensation just using an led and heaters so I put 400w HPS back in no more condensation well not in the tent the shed is brick so I get condensation in there now
@Dean1, yeah. A small dehumidifier would sort out all that for you. I got condensation in my tent until I turned the air intake up 2 100% all the time. Dropped a few degrees so will have to manage temps better for my next grow
@leopardt32ar, more then welcome.
If you need any help with it more. Please feel free to mes me. And I'll help as much as I can
I appreciate the message. Thanks very much
The light I am using does have multiple different switches. Veg, bloom 1 and bloom 2 I use veg for the first 5 weeks and it only been flowering for three which added the reds
@Tommy716, ah okay pal. Once its out of pre flower. You can add the far reds. It does add benefits. Actually wanna get a light where I can control the spectrums like that.
@Gentz, You could have 50 lights over 1 plant. And it'll make no difference at all. A plant can only take in so many photons per it's surface area. 1 of those lights easily cover a 70cm2+.. and anything after that pal. You're wasting watts. + that and she's in veg. Max ppfd/umol needed is 600ppfd.
For a big plant. Just veg her really long at a low % of your light. 50% max. And you can train her nodes outwards, making her surface area bigger, and then, use 2 of them. But, hey, what do I know. I'm only growing a short time buddy, it's just from what I've read.
Good luck
Hey, im blocked from writing to you in chat for 7 more hours :/ as soon as i can i will write to you. Thanks for taking time to answer ! In the meantime i am engulfing myself in your diaries! :D
@Medes, hey, only seen this now buddy. You're more than welcome.
If you've any issues. Or wanna shoot the shit about anything growing, methods, whatever, just mes away. Good luck bud.
Thanks for your nice remark. Hope they make for good viewing for you. If you've any Q about anything. Just ask.
Good Growing buddy
Hi, mate. Thanks for your kind attention to my grows and for your questions. My secret ingredient to a "top nootch" and crazy CO2 rates are most likely linked to the conditions of the room where i have my growth tent and my parafernalia. The room where i have the grows have not more than 4 sequer meters and the room height is about 1.95mts. So this room very close to a closet display is almost hermetical sealed and normally i have on this room a "homemade" CO2 generator. I have an old mayonese bucket of 8 liters that is filmes with around 6 liters of water, a cube of 50 grams of regular bread yeast and 10 grams of Sodium bicarbonate and adding 1.5 kilos of brown sugar, and normally i put more than 1 kilo of fruit peels of orange on this "syrup". Normally after one and a half hour, the CO2 gas os starting to be released, so i have a sealed think hose linked from the bucket to the stopper of a 1,5 L PET bootle, filled with around half of its volume with water and i have another thinner hose beside of the bottle stopper insertion and the thinner hose goes to a water glass. The system Will be working ir after that One and a half hour you are abble to see two bubbles forming both on the PET bottle and in the glass of water. That means that you are releasing on your growth atmosphere CO2. The very narrow Room where i have the growth tent allows to concentrate lots of CO2 amounts and it is important that each tem days you open the room windows to renew some oxygen, cause the rate of fermentation decays on the same increasing rate of CO2 concentration. You will have some interesting things by having a CO2 pump of this kind. Your Room smell Will be like a mixture of terpenes along with a carachteristic "brewery" scent like if some oranges were rotting. The smell isn't overwellming but it is good that you shouldn't have doors for the inner rooms of your house opened and try to seal the best way that you could the door and windows fringes of that Room.
Lol, my lights are shitty amazon budget LED lights, 1000W = approx. 100W in reality. I'm planning on a mars or vipar next to see how much better they are. I've abandoned h2o2 for my DWC grows and discovered Total Pond Sludge Remover. $20 for 500mL, 2.5mL in 5 gallon every reservoir change. Its microbes that eat other microbes and saved me from root rot. Now it just makes my roots growth explode, I see now why people rave about the expensive beneficial microbes like Tarantula and Recharge. Just my $0.02
