Sounds like a plan Bear, I'm starting to put together an indoor setup and your experience with the bugs freaks me out. LOL
It’s nothin C! I promise. You just have to stay on top of it and be willing to spray stuff… correctly… the first time…to solve the problem (i was using the wrong spray!)🤦‍♂️🤣. If i recall correctly your husband can help in that dept? : )

even before I had my outdoor going i only ever had a couple little bugs here and there, but again just spray and you’ll be totally fine (i do limit spraying in late flower!) and i walk to the shed from my house daily and would be loose with working in the veggie garden and then hit the shed up. it wasn’t until i had stuff from outside brought in where I’ve ended up with bigger issues (still all manageable) ✌️
 
I shook my plants off this morning and went and sat down and had a cig and noticed five or six aphids on my shirt! L O L! No idea which plant they came from! Maybe on all of them!
Yeah if you aren’t really looking for those fuckers they aren’t the easiest to see! But man if you find one their there! Go look under some leaves and it’ll gross you out!🤣

do you spray stuff on your plants or not?

Brother i got lucky this time! Could have been way worse i think had i not even been paying attention. Those few days i was goofing off with the wrong spray kind of saved me and hurt me at the same time🤣 was out looking to how it all worked and was noticing poor results!🤦‍♂️

but yeah ill never bring anything from outside ever again! ill be the only thing not conceived in the shed that is allowed! 🤣

oh thats a good idea! on top of getting a badass mist it probably distributes nicely with having that pressure!?

My first harvestable plant was an aphid infested melon ball in mid flower. Guy who I was buying weed from showed up at my work one night and just gave it to me. I sprayed it with neem oil and stuffed it in an armoire lined with emergency blankets under a 15 watt led floodlight. I ended up ordering a proper LED and tent for it after a week or two, and the rest is history. That was back in 2018.
 
Well it’s all down and in the totes until I can get it into jars. Tore down the lines, and moved some stuff around. Organized the Green leaf for the current and up coming runs this winter.

Got some more of the plants topped and pulled down. The spray worked amazingly, Im going to hit them with the Dr bronners tomorrow for the half way mark before hitting them again with the other stuff. They are going to get watered with recharge also.

Then I’m going to work on the veg room set up. I need to get it done so I can reconfigure the flower room again HAHAHAHAHA🤪

Few more toppings. Didn’t water with recharge this time, hit them with a little sea-k instead. I think im going to add some mega 1 part and cal-mag next time just to see how they handle it, they may be back under the fluorescent by then also 🤷‍♂️

thinking i got the final idea of what im doing for the flower door/room and veg. I’ve been able to keep my temps dialed with outside are into the flower room so im really optimistic about the lung room being a huge game changer/step up in climate(which at the end of the day is the name of the game).

smoking on more of the stuff that came down recently and really liking it. the stuff still out there on the plants might get taken this weekend also. I actually saw a decent sized caterpillar today🤣 itll be some butter bud for sure! sleepy time toast and tea! : )

Check this out! July’s POTM winner : ) still waiting on the trays😆✌️ but @PulseJohn came through with this awesome little unit from Pulse! Thank you, and thanks for supporting the contest! Got it set up last night and it’s spot on with temp and humidity! I’ve got some playing around to do with it yet, it’s a pretty robust app to navigate, in good way for sure! Im just a technoTard(it’s very simple to see and understand, it just has depth to it i have not yet explored other than clicking through it after smoking!) 🤣 Upon activation last night i woke up this morning to a few emails pertaining to customer service in setup and how to’s! That was nice! 😊 thank you again to those who got my plants that far in the contest!🤩

Before you get too far in your remodel I want to give you one little piece of advice that if someone had told me it would have saved a year of headaches, if I’d of followed it lol.
So, when you think your flower room is ready do this:
Turn off all the lights in flower. Now roll you a normal joint and light it. Crawl into your dark flower room and enjoy smoking that joint, with your eyes CLOSED. Now when your joint starts to burn your finger open your eyes, NOT UNTIL. Now if there’s a light leak you’ll be able to see it.
Seriously, this is key for yard barn growing!!!

Sounds like a trap! I’ll forget where the light switch and door is! Could take me months to find either! 🤣

Seriously though thank you. And I’ll 100% do a light leak test when I get it done. It’s necessary for sure! : )
 
Damn, I have to learn about light leaks too??? LOL
Hahaha! It’s something I’ve learned the hard way. Im definitely heeding JJ’s suggestion and smoking in there once i get it finished😆 especially being that im using that foam board insulation. bright ass grow light goes right through that! 🤦‍♂️ panda paper to the rescue.

get what you think youll need along the way and we will all have those little insider tips for you! : ) you got nothing to worry about! 💪✌️ you’ve seen my page and what NOT to do! so thats a start! 🤣
 
Something is in the flower room chomping the F out of things! Spraying later today : ) the plants look like they took the feeding well. Can’t wait to get them back under the fluorescents! Again, not a fan of vegging plants so far under LEDs.

Pic of the banner x lsd is female!🤩

The Pbb x cmans are going to get up potted into bigger containers in broMix with a light mix of Gaia all purpose.

Im going to mix the top dress of Gaia’s to have ready for applications ( everything isnt getting flipped at the same time🤦‍♂️🤣) one plant needs it now so i can flip it for the “Christmas tree solo” LOL! and then im flipping a few of them to try and stay on schedule of having some fresh indoor herb around end/beginning of the year.

That doesn't look good brother, I'm pretty sure you've already louped, did you see anything?

Have not loupe’d for that pest. I think it’s a fly of some sort. I have sticky traps working away and I’ll spray later today, as it’s starting to get a little excessive. I’ve had this type of damage before in the shed. The Capt jacks dead bug worked last time if i recall correctly, I’ll figure out what im going to use and hit them either way. think im drawing pest from outside via exhaust, its on the list to be addressed. And i may spray the future veg room so i can move stuff out of the flower room and give that a good cleaning and final set up before i flip stuff in there.

When my 91 yr old Pops took our plans outside while I was at work and never told me. He brought in soil nats, and spider mites. I was fracking livid! 3 grow rooms, 4'x8' flood an drain. All sharing the same vent system. So me being an Irish prick I bought and let loose 1000 Lady bugs in each room. Hahaha
 
Started framing up the new door/walls for the veg and flower rooms. Might be short a few pieces of this and that but in typical funny farm fashion itll get built!🤣 i always try and be very appreciative of the space i have… with that said, i wish i had more space! 😂🤣 I have some ideas! stay tuned! ; ) ✌️
