Penny has a hiccup, pest spider mites. I’ve been plucking big finger leaves with them on it . I do have the sns 217 for the rescue but no more PC or 209 . Takes all three from what I’ve experienced with them ! Two Wally World bags full and only the big fan leaves in the middle have them ! I’m going to spray from the bottom of the canopy up since I have it clear with the 217 and ecoworks on the media and stalks . Safer soap for the tote and buckets and more DE around the perimeter. Whoa dead ants in the skeeter dunk bucket. Bug doc I need you to spray under the building again.

This girl put on some weight last night !

 

[Krissi Carbone]

She put on 1 pound of spider mites!

Clearly just kidding, I'm in it for the laughs today.

Penny is just enormous

Penny still has a few mites , plucked more fans with them on it . Sprayed from the bottom with the neem and sns 217 from the top . If I have to get the tweezers and magnifying glass there out of here either way . Got the under side of the building had gotten sprayed, ants come running into here but the DE did it’s job , if I could I’d give it a raise .

Plant is a beast, Hippie!

Did the mites ride in on the ants?

Plant is a beast, Hippie!

From what I’ve read ! I wished I could see the mound I’d go get a shovel full of fire ants to put on it .

 

[Rexer]

Sorry to hear you're going through pest problems on top of everything else.
Great catch and I hope that DE keeps shredding the ants.

Penny still had a few mites hanging out . Pluck very few this morning, took my light off the ar so I could see them bugers. I did all I could looking from the bottom up ! Then looked at the very top fans and only had to pull five fans today . Slowed this girl down plucking them leaves . She drank but not much in solids . The neem I sprayed from the bottom up turned some of the hairs red , then sprayed the top with sns217 .

Just caught up. Wow. It appears you've done a great and more importantly FAST job in eliminating the mites. Nice. And hell, you had tons of big leaves to spare. Lol. You barely notice it and I'm sure it hurt you to take so many. They all still look amazing, and glad the mites were confined to one plant, yes? Damn.

Your support "netting" looks like it would easily double as a safety net under the flying trapeze. You need damn ropes to support those girls. Wow.

Penny is steadily praying to the Perfect Sun Led Goliath V2. I downloaded the Photone and did the diffuser thing for my iPhone . Adjusted it to DLI whoa no dli of 50 here , was closer to 50 without the diffuser! 154 dli around the whole top from 12” to 18” still 154 dli . I also set it on 21 hours to get these numbers! Pics will be at the end of the post .

I'd be curious to see or hear what readings you got using the ppfd measurement option on the full spectrum setting.

 

[West Hippie]

I did get my SNS 209 ordered but I have 18 gallons verses the 3 gallons in the buckets. I’d put one gallon of mixed ro water and 209 from a five gallon bucket and it calls for 20 gallons a packet so it was four times stronger ! I pulled one gallon of the 209 and two gallons of the ro water with nutrients already mixed in the two gallons of ro. So one pouch would do the 18 gallons in the tote ? I was only able to do this once but it’s fixing to change . Went ahead and and ordered more 217c and PC .
@Sierra Natural Science ?

[Jon]

Lol. That's obviously impossible. My light is the same way. Try the red/blue setting. Pay the $5. Certain full spectrum LEDs only read accurately on red/blue. Mine in the 5x5 is one. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts yours is another. Try it. I can see you're not at 2000, lmao. You're likely around 1400. Try the red/blue is my suggestion.

 

[bluter]

ants are trying to some in and colonize the mites for the sugars. it won't work, because dwc, but they'll still invade the plants and cause other damage trying.

get some 'sweet' ant traps close to the tent if they keep trying. those are the ones with a liquid or gel base.

My Photone I put a thicker piece of paper on it and now matches my dr. Meter’s lux . DLI is set at 50 with the light 21” above the canopy. Made the leaves point straight up !
