Experimental grow flowering in a green house in winter
Your welcome,... and I hope it works out! ;)
As for YOU (and I mean YOU as a person) if you walk into the greenhouse you might be transferring mites.... so take precautions like changing your clothes after working your outdoor garden, and change your shoes as you enter the greenhouse. The little fuckers hitchhike on anything!
I've got an indoor pair of crocs, and outdoor pair. I shower when I get home from work and change into freshly washed scrubs before working with my grow.
Just my sanitation and inoculation efforts "Should" be enough to keep mites out of my room, but I none the less fight them like they are the plague,.... because they are! :S5:
Experimental grow flowering in a green house in winter
indeed. i have so many friends that grow its going to be hard to keep people who have potentially been exposed to pests out of my yard as well. every day i encounter someone who has been into a grow room / green house.
im going to start showering before i do any gardening. and like you said get a pair of specific shoes ect.
i found some alive mites on my clones and vegging plants (they live in the bathroom) that i put in the green house with the pyrethum bomb last nite. going to get a stronger bomb for tonite.
i refuse to loose.
thanks for all the help.

the forums went down and I was away. bottom line is I did end up harvesting all 3 of my plants. I ended up with mediocre results. The harsh winter, and the mites, made for loose stringy buds. I ended up with a half pound of tight stuff, but did not even trim about 50% of my plants.
What I learned about winter / early season flowering is to put them out later in the season. next year I will put them out in the end of febuary to get better weather, and to be more proactive about pest control. But the concept does work and I will be doing it next year with a trick and efficient heating system.
On the spidermites nothing worked but this pyrethrum fogger (i never did try CO2)
