Tnelz thread about whatever!

Dammit!!! Why does everything cost SO MUCH money??? I have to buy soil/amendments and also a few last key pieces for the new tent. For the soil...if I buy pro mix and the amendments i need to make the soil the way i want it ends up costing me the same as if I were to buy 6 1cuft bags of Buildasoil's Living soil w/ Malibu with shipping....Both end up costing me around $300...the thing is if I mix myself i will have enough amendments left over to mix up 2 more big bales of promix, I guess that makes it work it so next time i need soil i only have to buy a bail and im done....Okay i just had to kinda write it out for me to decide.....

Bro. Every time i pop on here your buying something new. Lol

It wouldn't be so expensive if you stopped buying stuff

Okay. I see. I will try the baking soda on my flowering plants. Tonight at lights on im, gonna go In there with my lady and were gonna go cleaning crazy. Rh has been low but ill take a look.

I don't foliar

I think it started in my veg space tbh

Im gonna remove everything from the room and scrub it. (not in function or use)

Clean the walls with bleach water

And also im gonna spray everything down how you suggested. Thanks seafour, your wealth of knowledge sustains us all here In T's thread

I've been told that hot boxes or sulphur boxes are good for killing all kinds of pests and spores a good friend of mine sticks 1 on between crops just as a precaution I guess he's had issues in the past that has caused him to go down that route maybe worth a look they can be used upto the 2nd week of flower too apparently

 

[gardnguyahoy]

Okay so if i spray neem. Baking soda mixed with water it wil handle the pm in my veg space? Can i spray the walls with the baking soda solution and hope to kill any environmental spores?

If i go through and wipe each leaf on my two flowering (5 weeks) unaprayable plants that should make it so my flowers dont rot or get ruined? Will this stop the pm on my flowers? What if its inside the buds? How do i tell?

I have four other plants that are 2 weeks into flower. Do i finish these or treat like i would a plant with full grown buds on it? Or can i spray them ( within reason ) like a veg plant

A friend in the PNW who has PM as a regular environmental factor swears by sulphur burners... I dont have such issues here... I'd be surprised if I ever saw 50% rh...

U can usually spay upto 21 days after that is a high risk of bud rot depends on how fast your plant is flowering

I've had it once when I tried a tent for the 1st time I seen it was hotter and drier than the dessert so I added a humidifier and seen it about 3.5 weeks into flower I got rid of the tent and humidifier and never seen it again I've read a little about hot boxes and on paper they sound the bollocks my freind swears by them just don't use after 2nd week I flower or when your smoking your bud it will be like smoking matches :)

remove the leaves with PM... maybe wipe the others with a water/iso alcohol solution... as far as the buds, you've got to get it dry in the growspace so the spores that already exist cant just thrive and multiply... my friend in the PNW would remark that one ounce of prevention is worth one pound of cure... I'm not sure what he does to mid flower outbreaks aside from burning sulphur in veg and avoiding it after presumably having had learnt the hard way...
I know he's got his own closed loop system now... not sure if thats where that goes, but I do recall him saying last season that he'd lost about 10-15% of his outdoor to mold...

I popped in mid night cycle, looks like rh is hanging around 40% should i try to lower it?

def if u have mould Keep fans on at night period , cover pots so Evap from soil. If outside humidity is higher turn off inlet fan overnight .

A cheap hygrometer will give u max and min temp and humidity chances are your rh will be going up when lights go off everyone's does as the temp comes down the rh goes up and vice versa a few things for helping keep rh down other than the obvious and buying a dehumidifier is clay pebbles around the top of your pots if your in soil/coco and a heater on a night when lights go off there's a few gadgets that aren't over priced that will help keeping things in the sweet spot :) maybe have a look at 1 of these

Wire into it your in let out let and heater then just punch in your numbers where u want it to be day or night I always buy bigger than I need for out let and in let because these have speed control too there awesome for all year growing especially if your climate is like mine where it can change from t and shorts to winter woollies in the space of a crop :) back to prevention better than cure hope this helps

Wouldn't hurt, that's not bad when you have everything on point and I usually run there but once you've got an infection it can and will still thrive at 40%. Heat can kill it. Sodium bicarbonate and water, spray at lights out, repeat in 5-7 days.

Thanks for all the help gentlemen. I got some serious cleaning to do.

I have plantst in flower plants in veg. I need to treat them both before it gets out of control

Any suggestions for flower?

Others have covered the best plan of attack, only thing I can do is re-emphasize seaf0ur's point that stable environment is essential to operating without pm. It's the single most important aspect IMO. Without a stable environment you will see pm sprout in susceptible plants everytime there are favorable conditions.

pm sprouts naturally all over CO despite very low rh. The goal is to stabilize humidity, not have low humidity. If it's at 40% with lights off, do something to keep it at 40% during your light cycle. Good luck that stuff sucks

the cycle bro. that's all it is. every run you find some new optimization, some new change. sometimes they're minor, sometimes they're nuclear. such is the way of the farmer.
