Wastei's Twisted 'n Misted Girls

im still admiring the DIY net you have with the colored zip ties it just looks awesome.

Are you running these all the way through bloom in like a 6" square pot?

Yepp! They are planted in square 6.8 liters/1.8 gallon pots(4x). I typically cover a 4x4" with one plant and a 3 gallon pot. That leaves me with 7.2 gallons of total volume this run. That's a lot of coir in a 4x4!

Anything above 3 gallon for one plant is just wasting coir.

Cheers!

I'm always too eager to do it and forget to wear gloves tying all the zip ties leaving flaked off skin between the fingers! Lol!

Cheers!

Cleaned up the lowers leaving better opportunity for the upper parts receiving adequate amount of light to fill out and better the airflow. From bottom to top.

I probably removed most thrips since they mostly want to keep cool and focus on the lower growth.

Cheers!

Looking great. Thrips are a bitch, they are the only things I hate more than spider mites. I've had excellent results from using spinosad for thrips, I use a product called Monterey Garden Insect Spray I buy from amazon. It has only taken one thorough application to rid myself of them each time, especially since the product has a residual effect for about 3 weeks. Now I use it as a preventative as it also deters mites and any other plant sucking vermin. I spray every 3 weeks, the ladies don't seem to mind it at all...

Thanks bud! I know about Spinosad but it's sadly illegal for use in all of EU to protect the bees. Thrips are a nuance and not that big of a problem, they can't do much against healthy plants. They are more or less impossible to remove them locally since they come inside during autumn.

Plants who struggle with growth rates or overall plant health from only thrips has other major things to sort out IMO. I spray citric acid sprays to keep numbers down in veg. Moms are more sensitive for sure since they are stunted in growth compared to plants in production.

Cheers!

Illegal... bummer. You seem to be handling them well, I can't even see any damage. My grow room at my last apartment was very healthy, but since I had so many plants perpetually growing in such a confined space, thrips hit especially hard and fast. Luckily they were in pots, so I had to drag over 100 plants to the shower to spray them completely. It was a full day's chore, but it was a rare occurrence. I'm glad in only took one application.






Sorry for jacking your thread. I'm subbed
