comparing my two rooms which are 11 days apart, the youngest being in the MH/HPS mix has shown much more crystall development than the same strain 11 days ahead!!! Amazing, I have since decided that after this harvest i will equipment my flower room with 6 1000w hps and 3 400w mh for 144 sq ft. here's pics of the other room 5 weeks in.
room 2 i have 4 36" and 3 moms that were about 6'. I added another 1000w since tht pics. found mites on the one tied up above. been busy dealing with that. did a 100% coverage with 1/4 sm-90 and neem on the worst one, burnt my pistals, (batteries dead in camera), sprayed under foliage on all others. didn't have much else of a choice besides cold water which would've damaged the crystalls anyways. I figured hit hard now, wait 3 days and get a prythium bomb for both flowers. I hit all my veg-moms, clones, hydro and soil yesterday with nicotine and neem spray. all doing better, double checked the plants after lights came on and found one mom still crawling, so I sprayed it with a garlic and neem spray that knocked their butts out.
spray formulas: regular spray bottle, warm RO water, couple drops of each; neem oil, lemon scented dish soap(NOT ANTI_BACTERIAL which will kill your plants, organics the best) and either nicotine water(tabacco soaked with RO water for few minutes) or garlic(garlic soaked water). New thread soon on a Cinderella 99 hydro grow of 34 plants.
I also dropped the temps down to low 70's high 60's, did a new plant layout in veg to provide more even airflow and room for growth after spraying. They sat huddled in my living room drying after which we did a plant by plant inspection and removal of mites and eggs(using a cheap paint brush). Today the look great, nothing moving... Overall I had about 20% of my plants affected with an average 10% damage to each. I caught it early.
here's some more the one in the tub is the 5 week flower that got 100% sprayed and the new veg room, here's the first two plants a few days later.
A veteran grower told me she grows a garlic plant in every pot to control mites, she's very organic. All the way through flower and it helps mask some of the odor. Any opinions? also when is it the best time to release a pryrithium bomb? Jorge's book says just before the lights go out. any suggestions?
wow that is a big ass setup.. very nice.. the girls look gorgeous
Nice setup, I plan to have my room that way in about 6 months.
Are you growing soiless? Hydro?
