View attachment 1043129Just freshened up my t 5's today , absolutely one of my favorites , keeps seedlings , clones , and small bushes super happy ....
I almost can't believe it myself , but I think this is the first light replacement in over 7 years ....
And the ones I swapped out still looked fine ......
View attachment 1043123You might find it hard to believe but keeping a " real culture " alive is another crazy and expensive forum habit , I gotta feed and worry about this goop almost as much as my plants
Great growers think alike

How often do you feed him ?Meet “Seemore” (aka Seymour).
Maybe get the credit card out and purchase a microscopic security alarm for the bugs lol.Sure but do i have the damn bugs back or am i just going through a learning curve with new nutes and medium?
Thanks , yea this fixture is in a friends house and I don't get there often , my main clones are grown under optic 8 Cree fixturesThe tubes are spec for 4 year lifespan with a 50% fail rate after 2 and about 20% lumen loss in 4 years. Goes down in a strady curve from about 6 mos.
Just fyi for average t-5 ho tubes.
Minimum of once every two weeks. Usually once a week, I take him out (it’s about 50 g), give him a 10/10 feed to wake him up, pull off what I need to start a levain for whatever I’m making/baking, feed him another 20/20, give him an hour and back into the fridge for another week.How often do you feed him ?
Yea , bout the same ....I usually forget to put back till there's a volcano on the table .....Minimum of once every two weeks.

If one wants to see just how fast microbes can spread in a fertile medium/substrate, watch a minuscule inoculation of wild yeast do its thing to flour and water.
Always use a container at least three times the size of what you put in it lol. I make a really awesome feta, olive and oregano loaf that used cannabis infused olive oil. Make a Reuben with that (using cannabutter on the bread), and it makes for a delightful afternoon.Yea , bout the same ....I usually forget to put back till there's a volcano on the table .....

Now I want pizza.View attachment 1043144Yea my girl serves only one God .........
Attach a bug zapper to this thing. Problem solved, what could go wrong?!?!Sure but do i have the damn bugs back or am i just going through a learning curve with new nutes and medium?
Wow I don't know about that?? Doesn't seem logical to me, but anyway I don't use Pro mix and I don't think I have anything left in a promix blend out there right now either, I think the last plant I harvested where I saw the bug was the last Pro mix blend in the garden@Beachwalker the pro mix article says root aphids like it dry which is why hot weather helps them like the early summer heat wave spurred my infestation to rise.
They recommend to keep the medium moist to wet to help eliminate them.

Edit: I just finished that article and I don't see where it says that about keeping the medium moist to wet, unless you mean this statement?

Either way I'll be sticking to my wet dry cycle, but thanks for the article, would you mind if I posted that in the beach house?
I just read the thrips live part of their life in the soil now I'm questioning what the hell I saw I am not a hundred percent sure look like an aphid but I suppose there's a possibility it could have been thrip lava
I say this because even though I couldn't get the camera in time to get a picture I watched it for at least five seconds to may be as much as 10 seconds and I had an impression of wings, or that it might be growing wings at some point

After reading this about the thrip larvae in the growing medium and looking at larve pictures of both again I'm not positive which I saw if I'm honest
To my eye it looked like this
