They're some thirsty bitches. I think it has to do with the growth spurt and volume of air I push through the tent and lower humidity. I'm hoping the growth slows down this week, or I'm gonna have to start to do the LST thing...

The PPP is the star of this grow. I think it's leaves have stunted the SW. I will not grow two different strains again. I just have to decide if it's gonna be the Blue Cheese, Train Wreck, Arjan's Haze #1 or the White Widow.

So much for patience. I haven't even gotten this grow finished, and I'm thinking about the next one.....

A 0600 lights on in the tent is the best alarm clock in the world.... I've been gone two days, and I got home after lights out last night, so I was itchin to check them out. Heading out again this moring, so I needed to take care of them early.

I've caught about 25 of the little bastages since last week, and haven't seen any others this morning. I'll re-count when I return home on Wednesday to see if the body count increases.

Got your PM. Very cool info.

Nute numbers since the last update:


11/07: EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm; 5.9pH.

11/08: EC 2.6 / 1300 ppm; 6.0pH. Added 3 gal "Bloom" (EC 2.5/1250ppm @ 5.8pH), 1 gal DW, 7.5 ml pH to 5.7pH.

11/09: Out of town

11/10: EC 3.0 / 1500 ppm; 6.0pH. Add 10 ml H2O2 (35%), 1 Gal DW, 7.5ml pH down to EC 2.7 / 1350; 5.7pH.

11/11: Out of town

11/12: EC 2.8 / 1400 ppm; 5.9pH Add 10ml H2O2 (35%), 3 gal "Bloom" (EC 2.5/1250ppm @ 5.8pH) to EC 2.7 / 1350ppm.

Gnats are still getting stuck to the traps, but I only see one or two live ones when I open the tent. Picking up a gnat bomb today and will probably bomb the tent tonight. Moved light up again. I only have 7" vertical remaining, and I think I will have to train one of the colas.

Running out of space:



PPP Buds:







Bagseed:




I swear the size of the bagseed buds doubled while I was gone... :blsmoke:

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Does it smell good man?

If it smells as good as it looks I would have wood all the time.

I made the mistake of throwing the dead/dying leaves I pulled out of the tent into a regular garbage can in the grow room. I couldn't figure out why I could still smell the dank with the tent zipped up..... Fixed that problem, but I have to close the door to the room when I open the tent or my whole house smells like Woodstock, minus the hippies......:blsmoke:

I love the smell of growing weed.

:leaf:

How about the gnat situation? Any more bodies?
Click to expand...
Yes. Lots. They appear to have increased in numbers since the last look. :wall: Stopped at Harvest Moon and got goGnats and 1600 X-Clude (pyrethrin) spray. Putting 1.5 oz of the goGnats in the res and turning off the fans prior to a solid spray of the pyrethrin.

The little fuckers will rue the day they came in to my tent.....:fire::fire::fire:

Unfortunately I used it in soil, I sprinkled a layer over top, then watered, within a few days the gnats were gone, and I haven't seen a new one since. You can also sprinkle it around your grow, sorta like a security border against crawling bugs. Be very careful to wear gloves and eye/nose/mouth protection, you do not want to inhale it, the dust will settle in 20 min and you will be good to go.

I kinda remember reading about DE and how it killed the critters. I think the shit is so sharp, it opens them from stem to stern when they have to crawl through it. I looked at the goGnats bottle, and it says it is mostly cedar oil, which I know the little bastages hate. I gave the whole tent a good spray with the pyrethrin, so I hope the little fuckers disappear.:fire:

Ya it is fossilized algae, basically it does cut them up, or if they inhale it they die. It sticks to them and dries em out.

yo a-b, how tall would u say ur PPP bitches are? how old? They be lookin good.

Hey Kumar, it's 44" from the coco to the top of my tallest stem. I've only got about 4 more inches of free space over the light. The tallest stem has started to flower pretty heavily, so I hope it has stopped the growth spurt. I started germinating the seeds on September 24th, so they are right around 7 weeks old, and have been in flower 2 1/2 weeks. They were 15" tall when I started 12/12 lighting, so they have tripled in height.

The goGnats and pyrethrin seems to have worked. I didn't see any live gnats when I checked this morning, and there were bodies everywhere....:fire: :fire::fire::fire::fire:

I will let the goGnats run through the system for a couple of days and hit the little fuckers with the pyrethrin afterwards.

Thanks for the input. I think I might do a little more research on the DE and see if it can be used on coco and hydroton in a E & F system. I'd rather use something organic over the sprays and such.

On the other hand, I will say the goGnat in the rez left the tent with an fresh weedy-cedar smell..............:blsmoke:

Thanks again. +Rep for the assist.

Have you got a fresh flypaper?

Maybe you should change it out so you can see easy if they are still there.

Glad to hear they are on the retreat. I'll be bongsmilie
