I flipped them today

Mine got out of control due to a prehistoric timer. So I am bending I have two nets. Haha I guess I could have worse problems.

The new feeding regimen per gal:

1 tsp armor si
1 tsp micro
1/2 tsp grow
1 tsp bloom
1 tsp diamond nectar

6 pH 850 ish ppms.

They're still getting 30 min of uvB in increments, starting with 10 minutes before lights on. So far so good with bugs and mold/pm so I'll keep doing it that way until it doesn't work. I also think it's helping keep the plants more compact and dense, but I could be imagining it because of confirmation bias...idk.

The kratky jar mom was not doing well in the house anymore so I put her in the tent to flower with an air stone

Question: you talked about transpiration at night and how the watering schedule affects the humidity after lights out.
If an Auto is under 24/0 (lights on all the time), would that be an issue?

I give all my plants dark periods but eliminating the lights off period will definitely help keep environmental conditions more stable and eliminate big humidity spikes.

Thanks, that's what I was thinkin. Just trying to put something together for indoor (maybe) that will avoid too much fussing with, and avoid the dreaded diseases.

Took them all out for a trim this morning and had quite the audience! Also, weeding pine tree seedlings out of the coco was not on my bingo card for this grow!

I would still be worried about prying eyes with that building behind you.

I hide behind my umbrella!

We've also befriended those neighbors directly behind us. They are a couple about our age with kids in college who are very cool and highly unlikely to jump the fence to steal my pot!

But thanks for looking out!!

I did the scrog despite not wanting to. I'm going to regret it in a month when I want to take them out to trim and rotate but it's really obvious these three would benefit from it.

So, are you gonna have ta do the limbo to get under the net? LOL
That's one of the questions I was gonna ask about these tents. How in the world do you see/trim/spray the far side?

It's only 2 feet wide so I can reach in. The trick is to get everything below the net squared away in the next week or so and then everything happens above the scrog. That's the plan at least lol

 

[Grownsince95]

When I put in the scrog last week I thought the tops were looking a little cooked on the middle plant so I rotated it to the side and dimmed the light to 80%. Long story short I came back from a weekend away to find out that I have misdiagnosed the problem completely.

I now have a full blown broad mite infestation! First time ever but I can't believe I missed it. Seems so obvious now.

I have ordered 5000 A. Swirskii predator mites but it might be too late.

Lazy IPM this run on my part and I shall reap what I sow now.

Lesson learned.

 

[cpurola]

So sad. Did you order them from Arbico? They say they need a 7 day lead time when you order. Will it be soon enough? Akkk!

 

[Grownsince95]

I ordered from Nature's Good Guys, supposed to be here tomorrow. If they were here yesterday it's probably still too late.

I will fight them anyway. Maybe I'll learn something. Can't be worse than just throwing them away.

C'est la vie.

Did you have to use a scope to see them?

 

[Greenadian]

Have had the best results with this bug killer bomb. Push down hard on the trigger and it locks into place, exit the room, keep exhaust ventilation on......no more bugs.
I have never used in flowering, but at the flip its destroyed ALL bugs!! Kept the lights dimmed down low for 3 days too

 

[Grownsince95]

Did you have to use a scope to see them?

Yes and they're even hard to see with the scope. I'll get a pic right before I start treatment and post it.

 

[cpurola]

Saw the pic of your mites, geesch they're small. What made you suspect them?

I mistook the damage for light burn at first because It started on the middle plant. I turned it down twice and waited for improvement until the growth that I thought was burnt grew out more and the "light burn" had spread to the other plants. Then it occurred me to take a pic and ask google.

That first few seconds that it sinks in is tough because I thought it was a death sentence. I gave the fucking bugs a two week head start. Then it took 4 days to get the predator mites.
