Indoor Durban Poison In Soil, First Time Grower

[Canuckush]

Thank you for the direction @irie lion here's the runt getting a good defoliation.

Then the others received a little trim under the skirt.

 

[Canuckush]

Now is there anything that the trim can be used for or just toss it all out?

Nice trimming on those girls, that'll do the job!

I compost all my leaves, and just use my harvest trimmings for oils & extraction. But i'm very sure there's probably a good use for those leaves i don't know about!

Alright, thanks, much appreciated!

Happy growing!

With the summer temps and humidity here on the coast comes the insects, what we call fruit flies are a nuisance, I now have some in the grow room, I don't see any plant damage but they seem to like the soil. Can I spray these with a repellent on the plant and the soil?

 

[irie lion]

The flies should do nothing to the plants I sometimes get 1 or 2 that slips in as well.

That should do the job Especially on the top layer of the soil, if the flies hang around long enough they will lay larvae in the soil.

Ah ok, that's kind of what I thought was going on, when I was doing the trimming it seemed like a couple had crawled out of the soil, I killed quite a few.

No worries - if you want to be sure you get rid of all larvae just add some organic pesticide to your next watering and it'll kill anything unwanted down there.

Ok, thanks, I'll look for some today!

Update on the girl I gave away, she's loving the greenhouse and occasional days basking on a wide open deck, she's now 35 inches tall compared to her sister, my plant who's only 20 inches tall.

I sure wish I had an opportunity to have my plants outside in the sun! What a difference! I'm doing no justice for my plants indoors!

 

[Canuckush]

Oops, double post.

 

[irie lion]

Damn she’s a beauty!! Maybe suggest to your mate to add a top up of fresh soil to the pot.

 

[Canuckush]

Will do, and I shared with him @Emilya thread on homemade calmag recipe and he started as a soon as he finished reading it, he started with his sea shells. He also composts and makes his own soil mixes.

A quick update and another question on trimming.
My small space dehumidifier arrived a couple of days ago and I can finally keep the humidity about 65%.
Now about trimming, I did a little bit of lower trimming Wednesday and was noticing that a few of the lower larger fan leaves on several of the plants are starting to hang down, is this a process of the plant diverting it's energy to growing buds and if so should I just trim those lower fan leaves off?

 

[Canuckush]

100 days, 33 days in flowering update.
My tallest girl, 20 inches.

2nd tallest at 14 inches.

 

[Canuckush]

3rd one is also 14 inches but not as bushy as the 2nd one.

The runt at 10 inches.

 

[Canuckush]

Update on the girl I gave away! She's taking off!!!
42 inches! That's 7 inches in 6 days!

 

[Canuckush]

38 days into flowering and I forget to close up the grow closet for 2 and a half hours! What a blunder! I was busy at my shop building a mini greenhouse for the 2 clones and I totally forgot about dropping the blackout curtain and closing the door before lights out!

Good looking plants! What lights are you using? Maybe it was mentioned somewhere and I missed it?

Thank you, I'm using full spectrum daylight bulbs, led in brooder lamps.
