Looks like your defoliation was a major event in creating this grow, how much did you take off?
Yea, I've turned to predators myself, seem to be the best answer to open grows like these. What bugs are you using, and which are you finding the most useful? I'm having good results, but would like to maintain my own bugs over time, and learn how to keep them reproducing with possibly some plant pollen, after they clear the bugs out.Realized I haven’t updated this in a while lol but we pulled down a while ago. It’s looking very good and it seems like we’re going to hit over 2# a light which is more than fine for how rough this operation turned out. Only having 2 people for 30 flowering lights is a tad hard at times. For ipm we switch between plant therapy and purecrop1. I foliar spray microbes and silicic acid in veg as well and have recently gotten into beneficial bugs to permanently keep pests out
Did you guys treat the clones with anything when you brought them into your grow space? Or did they tag along with someone? Have you harvested yet?We could have lollipoped more for sure but we took off most big leafs, especially since we were battling spider mites so taking off those leafs help that as well
We do 12 per light, 3 across and 1 row per square ft and these plants were vegged for 3 weeks but veg was a bit slow this time aroundHow long do you veg out the wedding cake running 9 per light?
Few days later and these ladies are looking great. Feeding around 3.8ec and did a recent foliar spray of power si, ca mg and purecrop1 and they seemed to love it. Going to start defoliating soon and can’t wait to see how they stack

Thanks! And the more issue is 99.9% gone. The last place I saw mite damage was on a mother plant, so I culled it and sprayed everything down everyday for 3 days. I’ve since backed off to spraying once a week and I haven’t seen any mite damage in about a month so far. Not saying it’s completely over but it’s so much better than even a few months ago I’m confident I’ll get rid of it in the next beneficial release. If it ever came back I would get a Neitrafogger, it’s a new fogger you can use indoors during flowering without leaving residue and it’s a 1 micron fog that seems to work better than anything else I’ve seen before! It’s quite interesting imo honestlyHow's the mite issue coming along, are they completely gone? I had an issue for years and was finally able to rid myself of them permanent. I've not seen a single mite since I started using this new technique.
I probably spent thousands over the years with treatments and buying beneficials, But this wiped them out in short order and leaves zero residue. I've am/was using purecrop 1 (the final solution) also, but have since devised my own (much cheaper) formula.
That wedding cake looks great BTW, I've really been wanting to get my hands on a nice specimen of that cultivar. She's a keeper.
De, they’re Gavitas but getting replaced with luxx currentlyIs the HPS room a DE room or SE?

Yeah I think it’s strain specific definitely, and it might not even be a led vs hps thing, this led just has a much higher light intensity in it so it could be that. The majority of this room is wedding cake and that responds pretty much the same in either room, and a gelato sundae that does not like high light at all it starts foxtailing immediately. As for the leds the luxx have preformed great I don’t really have any complaints, but if I could replace them with anything I’d replace them with the new scynce led’s probablyReally, and you notice a huge difference in yield compared to a DE gavita. Do think this is strain specific, like the strain your growing just responds awesome to LED's.
If you were in the market today for a new LED fixture which would it be... still pick the Luxx?
