It's Legal Now

I'd use a few things all at once. I'd group water in BT from watering in mosquito dunks, and then let them all dry out. When dry, I would cover the top of the soil with diatomaceous earth, and would bottom feed pots with SNS 203, and also foliar with SNS 203. I'd spray goGnats (cedar oil) around the place, they hate it. I'd also water in a way as to break their cycle. A quick search, will get you there, I don't recall the specific lifecycle intervals. Good luck in your fight. I'm not in a damp basement, so it's not been that hard to knock them out.

You're right grimm....nematodes are like the heavy artillery. Works great IF nematodes are fresh. But I found even w/nematodes they often return. I used to be only be able to suppress them, but now can pretty much eliminate them. Lots of practice....

Ongoing chitin works damn well. BT in various forms works well too. I mix my own version of 203....clove & rosemary oil w/ couple drops of dish soap. These 3 weapons ongoing as needed has really turned things around.

That cedar oil sounds good too CS. Thanks.

Good thing I'm not in a damp basement (or any sort of basement) so hopefully I'll be able to run these pesky little flying critters out of my hut without to much hassel.

Go figure. Get a "free" clone and turns out it has gnats. Lesson leaned. Free isn't always good.

AK.. start on them now. It's no easy task.. Ive pretty much just learned to live with them.. just gotta keep them lil fux from taking over.

co2 for bugs isn't for a long amount of time but the amount of co2 you have to flood is not
good for anything breathing lol

 

[Alaskan420907]

I Think I've got them under control....2 days now and haven't seen any flying around.

I don't run a tank but I've heard that works for mites. I'm mixing seltzer with my water. Originally I did it to drop PH but it seemed to do a number on the knats too. It don't think it's killing the Mycos, still looks furry on top if I don't water for a few days.

AK.. what did you use?

Here's a little update on the little ones.

This is my veg room..aka my living room.

Here's the last round of clones I took off the big girls. I like to clone when they just start to flower. They end up huge Frick in bushes! This little light on the dome keeps them going for 2-3 weeks and only pulls 23w from the wall.

This is the last batch, I usually take a full plug tray worth and save the best 10 or so.

I use peat plugs and clonex. It's the only part of my grow that's not organic. I've tried willow water and aloe but I get 100% with the clonex opposed to about 50% with the organic stuff.

These two were from a batch of clones my buddy wanted a while ago then bailed..they're about 3 months old and I've been purposely keeping them small.
I just put them under the blurple light.

Everything will go outside about Mother's day. I'm going to try light -depo this year about the middle of July. The Northeast is a bitch on outdoors. I've lost elbows to elbows to the mold/budrot so I'm hoping for a late September harvest. Usually they're ready around Halloween.

A few nights ago I got creative with some dryer sheets. Haven't seen anything sense.

 

[grimmreefer]

Cool! Never heard of that. I've put them in a paper towel tube to mask the scent of reefer when I was a kid.. and done laundry with them.

I've seen fabric bags that go around the whole pot and tighten at the stem, never tried them though.

 

[grimmreefer]

Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

 

[grimmreefer]

I can't upload photos.. I apologize if I offended any sponsors.


Here's one top of one plant..bout 3 1/2 weeks in flower.

I'm loving the fridge. Drunken fridge art is the best.
My landlord is smart, he has all black fridges in his apartments...lol. Makes it not as fun to draw on .

 

[grimmreefer]

Hey hey.. these clones are doing great.. they're growing but not too much..perfect.. I've been weighing my options for outside. I think I'm gonna run the high brix kit outdoors.. I've seen nothing but great come from it. I have a sweet garden I can dig up. Living on the beach I'll probably do a ghetto raised bed.. smart pots with the bottom cut off. .this will be the first outdoor I do that's not plug and play.

Anyways these are the usual suspects. A few AKs. 2-3 random stuff and about half Strawberry Cough.

I wonder why I have bugs?..

This is the random.

She's a seed from the 90s

This is the cough.. I love this girl. She already smells like a French whore.

Ak..serious..lol this girl looks much better than the lasf one i grew but she's been vegging since August

Random pic. pretty sure it was the Strawberry.

Man, those are looking stunning!

 

[brightlight]

Those are real good looking plants & buds! You did a great job building your LED's. Do they shine slightly yellow or do you have your HPS going too?

 

[grimmreefer]

They are cold.. they're all 3500k

And too close, I'm working on the hanging system now.

 

[brightlight]

Ah I get it...remodeled my kitchen last summer & put the LEDS on 2 switches....5000K over stove & sink, 3000K over peninsula counter. Wonder how different color temps that we see impact PPFD for plants?

 

[grimmreefer]

I think they should be bigger for 4 weeks. Maybe it's too much growth but I think they need something. I use dry ferts have given them everything they'll get..NOT. anyone with an easy tea recipe? I have lots of poop kicking around.

 

[grimmreefer]

I based my build on par.. and simplicity. I wanted something I could veg under too.
