Night Owls In The Garden -a Club For Evening Gardeners

[MIKEZILLA]

Ok so some stuff came up last minute and the lady of the house squashed my saturday gardening plans! I forgot we are doing some kind of charity walk run or whatever it is...So with my work schedule I am having to push up the transplant by 2 days...I do not like to rush anything...i was able to get a few pics of the roots as i did it...lets see if I dont shock them to much! Peace all!

 

[Grassroot432]

You are so attentive.. I bet it pays off ;)

 

[MIKEZILLA]

Good evening all! So i was watering my out door crop and inspecting and found a few things that alarmed me...#1) it looks like the beginings of some mold developing on my main stems and a little touch on some of the lower leaves....And than in pic #2) I found some creepy crawlers residing inside by a bud and than a smaller one outside crawling around...I am trying to identify the smaller on via microscope...but I thought I would snap a pic and see if any of you guys may have a clue as to what it is and if it is a harmful pest! Again many many thanks to those that take out the time to assist!

 

[Grassroot432]

That is an ant..... And the focus is a little out on the first picture, but being out door and it looks a little wet out. I bet the sun will clear it up.

 

[Grassroot432]

At @MIKEZILLA that Weber charcoal starter works wonders. I have one at home as well. You use the lighter cubes??

 

[MIKEZILLA]

Yes I do use them and yes it is the best thing for charcoal! @Grassroot432 it does not look like an ant i ever seen...its in a baggy thats why the pic looks that way...Im off to work so I will try and take a pic with out of the bag...I also found a what looks like to be a spider but its very small...i also got that in a bag so i can look it up when time allows! This is becoming a full time job!

@yooper420 that is genius of you. Clay pots whoda thunk it....wait hydroton, clay pots? Hydroton, Clay pots??? Hold on something is coming to meeeeeeeee aaaagh nope nothing.

Lmao I am going to put hydroton in the bottom of my one gallon media mix and match the results of yours to mine that really is a good idea I can't believe I have over looked that for so long.....

Thanks bro for both the Drying methods of your own and the wicking idea [《+1 rep》] @yooper420

@GrowGod they are actually survivors of the beginning stages before I had noticed that my hoses had some funny stuff on the inside of them

The reason i did is after I pulled these girls as well as every other set I pull either the buckets the finished flowers were in or if i do a solid run i pull out my system and give it a spraynwash to get any gook or youuk out as to not get something like a pathogen or root rot

 

[GrowGod]

@KiLoEleMeNt how do you clean your hoses or fo you just replace? I'm going through same thing so I'm cleaning everything like a mad man!
I've started booking hose up to the sink and blowing out with hot water but I'm still getting a little bit of flacks crap coming out the hoseo_O

 

[KiLoEleMeNt]

One word "Rope"

 

[KiLoEleMeNt]

Remember the foot balls that were on two strings attached to handlesand the individual on the end with the ball would pull apart the rope and the ball would shot to the other back and fourth kinda like that or the hard way one rope and back and fourth round and round lots O bleach my friend cups of it in five gallons

 

[GrowGod]

So 2 cups per 5 gallons ?? I'm scrubbing all trays pots tools etc... And do you have any expirience with Dutch master zone? I'm trying to figure out how long into flower I can feed them with zone with effecting taste in the final product

 

[KiLoEleMeNt]

Yes I do use them and yes it is the best thing for charcoal! @Grassroot432 it does not look like an ant i ever seen...its in a baggy thats why the pic looks that way...Im off to work so I will try and take a pic with out of the bag...I also found a what looks like to be a spider but its very small...i also got that in a bag so i can look it up when time allows! This is becoming a full time job!

Yes it is an ant as grass root stated to be specific it is species Ant, Flying from the Formicidae family I hate these bastards harmless to the plant but you may want to check around for the nest the wingless ones don't usually travel far from home and they create swarms that are not exactly fun and usually bite ALOT add it hurts BAD they can kill those who are allergic to bees with just one or two and small children in numbers of which they swarm in

 

[KiLoEleMeNt]

@GrowGod use much as you want man thays minimum of how much i was just dumping the bottle till I said mmmmmaMMMMM yeah that's about rite........ lol

Remember just don't put your plant in the unit while the bleach is in it scrub very well rinse then scrub again (same water) you should do this in a kiddy pool or bath tub so you do not have to waste strong bleach water every rinse nothing is gonna survive in the water itself if it is strong enough. just what is in those tiny cracks and creveses that are everywhere in most buckets and totes so on. So when you feel your done scrubbing and its all clean (just do the best you can a flash light helps but the best tool is a well wasged hand without bleach on it you can feel slime but cant see it half the time.

To get the best clean you can only do a light rinse so as to not wash off all the bleach fill rez add just a little bit more bleach don't add anything else for the first hour but run the system then you can either dump and refill no rinse or just ph test it balance it out if needed as bleach is a up or maybe its down can't remember what it is but one of the two

By rhis point you can almost get back to growing your baby but please only a little DO NOT make it very strong you should barely smell it by the time the plant goes in but you will still smell it a bit wont say a number if you wish to do this part you gotta be the judge of how much i use a cap full for 25-30 gallons but don't base off of mine your water is completely different from mine while you clean store your plant in a separate 5 gallon or some kind of clean tote if the tub is not free to use due to washing rez or whatever.

@KiLoEleMeNt definitely the pabst... I have no idea about anything else lolView attachment 529184

yeeeayaha cheap beeeer



Great freaking song and even greater beer for sure If i didn't have a few bad comments about bull riding I would probably tattoo the blue ribbon and in big letters in it PBR was the first beer and 32oz I ever had actually liked is a better way to say it had a sip of budweiser no thankyou i said lol this happened when i was a teenager and pabst is probably going to be the last thing I will be seen drinking when i die also ;^)

 

[KiLoEleMeNt]

Well since I popped one video up I would like to share another one and it is how I feel today
One hell of a dam good writer this kid


been a real ruff month for me and my family and my relationship seems to be suffering from the overwhelming tasks at Hand as well as the worries about not having the money saved in time for my house not to mention how much I can not afford to pay some things for the first time in a long time but the garden is back up and going well pictures of it will be up in an hour or less since I plant to have a beer and cig break around then doing a lot of transplants tonight and tomorrow will be up and rolling full boar again within the next few days. The girls are a bit smaller than I would like to get but they will be good for a fair amount plus I will be doing 6 every 3 weeks on my titan, 12 every 60-75 days in my cap and whatever else I can for the flood table also going to be swapping the hood out on it since the little one is not enough in my opinion as well as going from 600-1000 hps for it I don't usually like to use 1000w hps bur I do not have another 6 to put up next to the other nor can I buy one so my spare 1k idms my best bet for coverage of the table and canopy size I plan to run. As stated before will hit you with some awesome pictures of the girls shortly more moved Again lol.

 

[Topofthecrop]

My buddy and I call them Flants. Way easier... Lol
Hope you don't mind! 3:30am White Kosher!

 

[MIKEZILLA]

Ahh ok! Its a flying ant than...I Will definitely check for them as I do have a 5 yr. old and would hate for her to get bit...Thats all I need!

 

[KiLoEleMeNt]

So here we are some nice photos for you all to enjoy and critique for me ;^)

First from right to left front to back 2 berry bomb 3 manatuskan thunder fuck row 2. 1 skittles four cannatonic. Row 3. 2 Lambs bread 3 ATF row Four three platinum GSC and two Nycd



Picture #2 a mix match of all the before listed with a few BOG and a northern lights from seed that was extra on my last project for them we will dmsee what we get.


Picture#3 some things that I have been working on and will get some full view pictures in a few days but for now I don't even dare open that dome. For obvious reasons of course.


#4 what's left of my mother's could be worse and I have none I guess.


Picture#5 starting up the good old tea brewer I just use a 55gal drum water pump and hose fittings in the lid fill half to three quarters turn pump on let the waterfall work it's magic if the scope shows no life after 24hrs then and only then will i add an air stone have yet to need one but I am sure I will at some point I am thinking this may be it the water hear gets dense in the summer time. I will definitely be there to see if it's a MONSTAR or something else that I have to fix lmao naw I am sure that provided I have been really precise and make sure nothing is going bad before putting together the tea it will be wonderful to have.

The clones that seen to be dam good survivors of my harsh treatment as well as pathogens heat mold mildew and Leaf Minors. Will get more pictures up as I upload them tonight and tomorrow as I finish it up and then go home for a bit give that sweet sexy pillow some nice looooong head XD
