[stinkyattic]

Naw no way I'd never laugh at a mite problem... but everyone has their own reactions to it ya know?

[stinkyattic]

[GaGrown]

No need your a Diamond in tha ruff! That's sparkle enuff!!!! Right? If ya quit! Then where would all of us that don't know shit,be? Leave the astroturf to the grounds keepers at the stadium! They are the only 1's that can get that shit to grow! Must be the fert's,huh?

Ga Grown!

[stinkyattic]

meh, less time mowing the lawn is more time trimming the girls.
Summer is for boating, beer, and bikes. Not necessarily in that order.

[GaGrown]

Yeah! And who don't LOVE a TRIMMED Gurl! In that order! Love ya,Boo!

Ga Grown!

[razzapiggy]

I haven't ran into spider mites as of yet, keeping my fingers crossed, but I think I'm going to go ahead and buy the strips today anyhow as a precatuionary measure. How big of an OP are you doing grown? You think two strips will work for a 2000 watt grow? I hope them son of a bitches stay away from my ass and my ladies asses!

[stinkyattic]

Razza piggy -Red Sox represent!

You want to add a precautionary measure to an indoor grow, give your girls a daily shower with neem oil. I've had all kinds of pests but NEVER mites. And I know they are in my outdoor garden; they eat my damned ornamentals!

Yeah the girls really look better with a trim. Otherwise I'm embarassed to take them out in pubic... I mean public... :D

[GaGrown]

I got 2 rooms and a perpetual system. In 1 room I got a 400MH that has a full spectrum Agrosun Gold bulb,I veg in that room,got mama and babies in there.When 12 or so inches I move them to the flower room which has 2 400 HPS's in there.Right now I am 5 weeks from harvest.I am a few days from adding a batch to the flowering room. Got rooted cut's waiting in line.I'll take more cutting's in a few day's when I move them to flowering room! Them freakin' mites got me at a stand-still! All is well,though!!!! The strips seem to be doing the trick! Gettcha sum for sure.It seems that they only harrass the 1's in flower mode! Not sure why that is? No problem in the veg and cutting room.I put 1 in there anyway!Better safe than sorry! I'll post sum pics when they heal sum!

[stinkyattic]

Heya GA the problem is your heat in flower! They live for HOT weather... just sitting there in their unders basking in HPS light... waiting for beautiful leafy girls to come along... Get your nighttime temps down and they will think summer vacation is OVER!

[GaGrown]

I got a tempstat in the room and it's set at 86 degrees. The fan will then exhaust the room in about 3-5 mins. depending on the outside temps.It's a passive system.Got dampers on both intake and exhaust.It gets bout 66 at night and has gone as low as 51.Yeah I know! Scary,huh? Tell me what ya think would keep the winter coats on them critter's without harming the gurls.The strips should have them and the life cycle dead in hours to a couple of days.It all depends on how often and how well it is ventilated.

Ga Grown!

[stinkyattic]

Hey you're not using CO2 right?
Get temps down in low 70s day/ 60s night for a while... mites don't like chilly... get on them with neem oil too in veg, spray daily so by the time they go in flower there's NO buggies on them and they have a protective shiny coat of bitter neem residue that the mites hate. You can keep using the stuff carefully up to about the 3rd week of flower and then you have to worry that the smell might get in the buds. Just my couple cents. Mites ick.

[GaGrown]

I'll use the neem oil and drop the temps to what you perscribed! I'll add a tempstat outside the room as well.That way I can control the temp to the HILT! You ever been there? To the HILT!! hehe!

Thank's!
Ga Grown!

[stinkyattic]

Where's that? I think we have a Hilt in Boston... How does that old Tribe song go... I won't cry ...over spilt milk... if ya won't let me... take you to the hilt...I know why ...you're acting that way... it usually happens on the 28th day...
???
That hilt?
:D

[GaGrown]

go to the chat room!

[razzapiggy]

I am almost two weeks into flowering, maybe I will give them a nice spraying of the neem oil tonight, and then get the mite strips. I haven't seen a single mite on my shit just yet, but I am assuming they pop up as the BUDS start to form. I will give em a nice shower tonight tho!

[GaGrown]

Stinky! What are you mixing the neem oil at? Ratio.Are you mixing a bit stronger,or are you going by the label?

get on them with neem oil too in veg, spray daily so by the time they go in flower there's NO buggies on them and they have a protective shiny coat of bitter neem residue that the mites hate.


Ga Grown!

[stinkyattic]

uh I didn't really read the label... like a tablespoon of Green Light concentrate in my 1-litre spray bottle and a drop of dish soap?
errrr I think? But the label should tell you too!

[razzapiggy]

It is okay to spray with neem oil two weeks into flower correct? I haven't seen a single pest in my room, and I am considering not doing the neem oil, instead am thinking of going to my local hydro store and buying the "bomb" and just doing that in a week or so - should do the trick. What cha guys think? Also, my temps are getting way down at night, and I think that is keeping them away.

[stinkyattic]

the bomb is the bomb

:D

[stinkyattic]

hey razza isn't that a phish quote in your sig?

[razzapiggy]

yep, a very cliche one at that too. Pretty big fan of their music, have seen tons of shows and travelled huge distances to do so. It's too bad the recent news about Trey, makes me quite sad actually.

[stinkyattic]

Do you actually live in the Boston area or are you just a fan?

[razzapiggy]

Grew up near there, moved out west (south bay) like three and a half years ago, still miss it though!

Will see them this year in Oakland, catch a few in Boston while I visit family, and also going to fly to Chicago for a three game set with my girlfriend assuming everything is decent financially at that point. Stoked! Check out my thread stinky... posted some pictures

[stinkyattic]

Sweet will do...let me know if you're back in town though... we'll have to have a toke or 3! :D I'm out west in the 413 but use any excuse to go into the city!

[razzapiggy]

where is 413 in cali? i know sf is 415..is 413 oak town?

[stinkyattic]

[razzapiggy]
