    Quarantine methods for Spider Mites

    hi I've been fighting spider mite infestations for yrs. about 6mths ago I read an article on spider mite in the 420mag forum. It involved covering the fan inlet to the room with stainless mesh 120microns, I modified this recommendation to 100microns built a large frame to allow extra surface...

    It's 3am here, let's get philosophic for a sec

    snap, loose lips sink ships. Another possible reason stoners dont talk about it, is a lot don't have the patience to let the plant do its thing ie they tend to constantly have little tastes whilst its growing, which in turn stresses the plant. Well at least a few of the fellow stoners I new did.

    10 Gallons per plant: do I really need to swap the res every 7 days?

    been doing rdwc for yrs and I pretty much agree with michael. I use to do 14 day changes, which I still do while the plants are small and vegging, and I too thought I was wasting money, but since converting to 7 day changes the yield is better the plants are healthier. I top up with part a+b...

    Can you harvest & cure without a dehumidifier?

    ok plants hanging for 5.5 days. buds are extremely dry humidity has settled to around 50-55%, the stalks arent at the crack when you bend them stage but are still supple. I removed all the plants from the hanging racks and have placed them in plastic garbage bins with the lids on. I'm hoping the...

    Stoned Labrador

    years ago after using some kiff and popcorn bud to make butter, I threw the left over plant material on the compost pile. My wife rang me at work the next day, to let me know the lab wouldnt stand up , come when called , eat a treat or respond in any of her usual ways. We were about to take her...

Tried dark...

    CMH 630

    hi just finished my second grow under these lights, buds were solid and sticky and gave me a yield of 1.18 grams / watt. It took a fair bit to tuning the room as I use to run leds with hps . Im now running an a/c and dehumidifier. using a homemade rdwc. Its some of the nicest gear Ive grown.

    hi i have a sealed room infested with spider mite. Having read about co2 to rid them I tried with no luck . I started by dosing until I reached 10000ppm and held it at this level for an hr . I than doubled the amount I dosed for 2hrs . I than increased the volume again for 3hrs. (note I dont...

    CO2 setup

    hi no I dont run an internal scrubber I probably would if i had the room but I only scrub the air when I vent via a filter on the extraction fan. my temps are around 30 with co2 set at around 1300-1400ppm

    CO2 setup

    my . lights and co2 come on together my ac runs all the time set at 28 cool mode. my extraction fans are off during he lighting period and only come on for .5 of an hr, after lights out to help reduce the humidity spike

    CO2 setup

    yes only during lights on . i fixed the problem, I was getting convection through the inlet and outlet fans I installed a more positive shutoff damper which halved my consumption. thanks for the replies
