I can't stand when bugs decide to pay me a visit and put a huge bump in the road ......but it's usually when I myself get complaisant and start to ease up on prevention methods just because things go real well for a good while .....but I wish you the best ...hope things get back on track .....sick plants are depressing especially when your a passionate grower Good luck

my kona sunset male died last night. the heat outside was too much. I brought it inside 2 days ago. I do have cuts in the cloner but they haven't rooted yet. .
It didn't care for 120° F ?.....lol...me either...
I had a great thick marine layer here this morning untill noon, it has receded back just past my place,
not as hot as your place for sure, just kinda uncomfortable . ..
Only 110 days until Mammoth opening day !

Thanks man.
Complaisant for sure, along with being away most of the time didn't help.I'm on the way back, tossing 6 week into flower plants was the toughest , but best thing to do.

Yeah that's a super painful thing to have to do ....I've had bad experiences after having to be away and coming back to disaster ...makes me go crazy ....I'm outdoor at the moment and dropped some bag seed from a friend just for shits and giggles at one of my raches in the foothills ...had to take out 9 boys which suddenly reminded me why I don't do those things anymore lol .....I grow partial to all my girls it's my passion and hobby ....I'm a lil sad when it's a success going out to cut them down just cause I enjoy it .....kind of like raising my own beef at home gotta kill it one day ...I used to have no problem doing it but the last few years I call my brother to do the dirty work ....however when I smoke that first bowl or eat that first steak all those feelings disappear lol sounds evil rite .........I hunt with no issues but that's different it's not as personal as being one on one with what your raising .....just my thoughts on feeling your pain

At least you have a good back up strategy kudos to you on that one ....always some good comes out of bad ....so I hope lots of good comes your way out of all this ......have you ever tried azamax bob
Yes, I hit em with a neem,bronners peppermint , silica a mix, completely submerged up to half the pot, then a few rounds with doktordoom foggers , mightywash , then big time exrerminator ,then azamax, then conserve sc .
I see no alive or even dead bugs now, I'm gonna use the conserve sc as a preventive .
I have avid as well, but em holding g off for now.

That blueberry cut was thriving. it's a trooper. They're all inside now. I'm setting up a breeding tent this weekend.

You need a soap to emulsify the neem and other oils, so why not a
cool bug-pissing-off type like Peppermint. I love to use Bronner's Lavender too.

I am adding Floramite to my potential list. It has been ordered. They wil
send it to Cali too.

fresh aloe vera or yucca extract works great as surfactant . I've been using aloe with neem instead of soap for a min.

I've been doing 3 foliars a week

1. Aloe/ neem / slilica
2. Labs/ aloe
3. kelp / aloe

the natural mistik I was using doesn't seem to do anything anymore. The jar I have of it is about a year old though.

I'm more than happy to see some health creeping back into my garden :grin:
They are responding well to the kelp/coconut water foliars.
I need to figure out how to juggle space and new clones/seedlings
Wheels are a good way to juggle space :) I've got 6 racks in various places! If I need to move one it's a single plug then roll it away. That and cloning/vegging in the open on 24 hour light. No tents, or dark cycles. image.jpeg

Some serious cloning going on there :wink:
I usually have one veg tent and two flower tents. But with some what starting over, its reversed.
I have too many different size veg plants to deal with.
I think I have it sorted, transplanted & moved shit around ...
Lol serious cloning is right. It's actually a bit of work taking care of a lot of clones. More than I was expecting at least :) 24 moms, I had 600 ready to go about a month ago, that was a little hairy!
