Not quite.....first give thanks to God for water that nice.

Hey would it be cool if after bubbling my water for 48 hrs i put it in empty jugs for later use?

I hope you do mess with it....but I hope even more that you gain an understanding of what the products do, how they work and the science behind them. When you have that understanding, you'll "mess" without creating a mess!

As long as the plastic is safe for human use, no BPA, etc......short of that kind of stuff I see no downside to storing water. But if it's good water right out of the tap, you don't need store too much of it.

It is the hottest pepper in the world now!!
Carolina Reaper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I bet it was Not grow in Hi-Brix!! Lol

I'm not so sure about that.....these pepper growin' folks know about soil and minerals too....but those peppers are too hot for any kind of enjoyment, IMO. I do enjoy more heat than almost anyone I know, but I know what it's like to burn my mouth out too....and those things sound crazy. Let us know how things go on that. I'd like to see how those peppers do.

Update:

Got the old camera charged. This update is better. Everything is green, healthy and happy, moving in that direction more each day. Lights on temps up over 90 last two nights.....a duct on the light cooling split open so I was pumping heat from the lights into the room.....would have been better if the fan quit, LOL.

Nothing looks worse for the wear, but I sprayed with DeStress and gave them a good watering.

As soon as they dry out they'll all get Cat Drench. We're right smack in the middle of week 4.

Doc, are you looking for buds about the size of a nickel before drench?

I never thought of it that way.....

I'm looking for bud sites and pistils....fluffy things. Pretty much like what you see in the pictures. Some are the size of golf balls, some are the size of garbanzo beans.....more about the structure than the size.

Doc, the SC 12/12 from seed has some seriously purple/red petioles. Sprayed brix pretty good twice over about a week and a half and since then its gotten worse. Just transplanted about 6 days ago btw. The relatively older leaves are kinda droopy as well. Good energy drink instead of water next?
Thanks bro

Ok doc here is the critter in question. One bin is totally crawling with them, the other not as bad.

Sierra Natural Sciences makes 2 products to kill spider mites and thrips SNS-217C Concentrate and SNS-209 Systemic Insect Control. I add 3-5 drops of Ivory Liquid Soap per gallon as a surfactant to help the spray stick to leaves and stems better. I would spray every 3 days for 2 weeks to kill adults and larvae as they hatch.

Thanks bro. They aren't on the plants though. In my soil recycle bin. Now that I can see them a little clearer, they don't look like root aphids as much as soil mites or weird spider mites.

Is it possible these are beneficial bugs?!

Edit: still can't figure what kind of bug. Taking no chances. Soil going to outdoor garden.

re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Hope this works

Edit:

Just had an idea. Could I saturate the bins with co2 - 10,000 ppm for a few hours to kill the critters?

Ewww bugs!!
That is some scary stuff!

If the plants aren't damaged, I wouldn't worry.

You can always use the mosquito dunk thing.

Sorry doc I wasn't clear. These bugs are in my two bins of recycled soil ready for use, no plants growing in it. I'll suppose I could try water the bins with some mosquito dunks. They're already at the outdoor location. I'll make good use of the soil there.

Also, my LHS only has BX immediately available and I need to get cooking ASAP. If I can't find HP within the week I'll have to either add perlite to BX or use sunshine #4. How much perlite do I need to add to the BX?

If you added a say 8 cups of perlite you'd be just fine!

Why aren't we using vermiculite in this mix? I understand that the biota like it, so I've been considering adding some in my next mix.

Give it a try! It's not called for in the soil test and it does effect CE...but worth a try!
