    bud eating green caterpillars

    Yea its a shame to see prize buds go to waste like that. Found a few in the very tip of a few colas a few weeks back -those bastards. The buds continued to swell though. Just cut off the bad part. Im in a dry area and have really soaked the buds with the BT spray and the cats really are gone...

    bud eating green caterpillars

    BT is the bacteria spray that works great on caterpillars. Think it stands for bacteria thuringensis or something like that. Its natural and can be sprayed on the buds even late in flowering. I wouldnt go too late though. I have been spraying late in evening just before dark as the sun light...

    Coco/Soil and Insects

    Wouldnt microwaving it kill all the beneficial organisms as well? Microwaves are great for sterilizing but I would think sterilization is not a good thing for living organisms such as soil. Not sure though. But if it was rockwool.... I would order some beneficial nematodes and water them...

    my plants aren't growing as well as i would like

    Yea one gallon pots really dont give much room for growth. I would definitely transplant to bigger pots. Is there any way you could bring those babies outside for some time each day? Even next to a sunny window will help. The sun will do wonders for ya til you can get some bigger lights!

    hanging hps lights verticle

    I was told that my hortilux 1000wt lights were not made to be taken out of their reflectors to hang verticle. Is there any truth to this? I would think they would just be fine hanging verticle without reflectors. Are there certain bulbs that are required for this?

    First grow Master Kush, plants are freakin out, nute burn or potassium def.?

    Are you guys sure this is not a phosphorus deficiency instead??!! Not really familiar with bioheaven. Never had good results with top max. Love biogrow and biobloom though just without all the other stuff.

    Anybody Else Using Roots Organics...?

    I love this stuff! Ive tried it straight and even half and half with their soiless mix just to see how it worked out. Tested it straight against their soiless mix too. Got better results with the soil than with the soiless. I now just mix their soil half and half with chunky perlite and my...

    PH Charts for Soil and Hydro

    Thanks for these interesting reference charts! What I dont get though is how these charts seem to worry some of you who are using soil? My water is about 7.5 ph or so. After putting in my nutes it goes down to about 6.8. This is perfect in my case for soil since the runoff goes down to about...

    Yellow and brown leafs whats wrong?

    Is this a seedling that might be autoflowering into a male? or is it truly a mom? If its a mom I would leach the soil and start fresh with ph balanced nutrients letting her dry out pretty well before rewatering. She could be on the toxic side and or too wet like mentioned before. Are you...
