Yep always one thing or another and yep I should not have taken a break but after the last catastrophe I guess I needed a reset.
120 F isn't going to kill anything but your electric bill. It takes 155F or more sustained to kill seeds. Fungal spores can tolerate 120F and be happy and ready to go to work.I checked the seedlings and f it Im puttin them in dirt.
The 2 cross seeds got put in the new dirt also but one was
not well, root looked shriveled up so put another Blue Dream seed
in the dirt but the other one, Gold Leaf, is doing real well
I put those 2 seeds in rooter plugs I had from a year ago prob not the best idea lol
I got to drag another heater into the tent and heat that baby up to 120°
for about 4 hrs to kill any spores that might not have died the first time.
Spraying Lysol all in there too. That will make 3 times I disinfected and cleaned it.
Hope to get her going in the next 2 weeks.
Read it somewhere that it kills at 120 but also wiped down with clorox and sprayed with lysol not sure what else I can do
Water DOESN'T neutralize pollen but H2O2 should oxidize it if sprayed on straight and allowed to dry.
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2),sprayed on will kill everything
Actually it will not. It's an oxidizer and not a disinfectant. Bleach however will kill anything including Hepatitis B and HIV. Regular cleaning with 1:100 should suffice. Nothing survives 1:10.
For pollen it will work but I already bleached and lysoled it just wanted to make sure I got it all, If it is in the tent, fans, etc.
Awhile ago I was concerned about dust and hair so I had these air cleaners and though I would put one in the tent.
Sounds like me. Had PM bad last crop. First time ever that bad. Everyone here did. It was all over everything outside and open windows brought it in. What a drag. Had to fight it all the way to the end. After chop I emptied everything, scrubbed like it was a hospital and then sprayed bleach water on everything and allowed it to air dry. Sprayed fan blades. Intake ducting inside and outside. Everything possible.
We always struggle with that here in the PNW, especially this time of year. For me, the dehumidify unit is a big help, keeping RH<60%. I'm really against disinfectants and cleansers these days. I mean, I clean stuff up, don't get me wrong, but I'm not doing it to mitigate pathogens. But they just simply grow back.
good lookin'start keep everyone ,up to date ,i love watching them grow!All done with tent it should be ok
but still waiting for seeds to pop
I have one cross bread seed that was a Gold Leaf
and it is growing good 4 days old.
Soil Temp is 72 and PH is 7, lil high but should be all right.
T5's 21" over the dirt.
Mother Earth Mixed Coco Coir Plus Perlite Potting Soil.
Soil is most but not wet.
I'm getting anxious as hell lol
Merry Christmas old guy. Lets hope there is a break from the lunacy next year....May your plants and family be healthy through out the year ahead.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yoursMerry Christmas old guy. Lets hope there is a break from the lunacy next year....May your plants and family be healthy through out the year ahead.
Ya I like the t5's because I can keep the light right on top of them without burning the leaves. If they touch they burn but as long as they're not in contact I haven't burnt any leaves. I started my seedlings this time in tiny solo cups and stunted them because I didn't transplant them out quick enough. They were growing daily for a week or more then 2-3-4 -5 days later no growth ??? fk transplanted and they were root wrapped in the tiny cups. Once I got them into larger pots they started to increase in size again....you'd think I'd learn not to be lazy but this shit happens all the time to me.....might have something to do with my smoking.......Na....lol
Ya I gotta transplant the one GL soon then will have to open tent and use TS1000 on 25 or 50% and still waiting for any more to show themselves just such a pain
