Thanks Whodat. Appreciate the help and since it started raining here last night again I might go up there and hook up a little heater that should help the temp and humidity a bit. I think I'll point it away from the buds to keep them from drying out completely in a matter of hours.

so I could just press PRINT, and then send it to a publisher, hahaha...

I am scheming on another book at the moment and trying to get those creative juices flowing, this will be the 3rd book I have written in this series....

I think that I could bring the 600 into the book...could be fun.

Spider mites.....a worthy adversary. Trying to get rid of them in a perpetual flower room has proved possible, but very expensive. I was using some predator mites as my offenseive line, and I was dipping the vegged plants in azamax before putting them into flower. I was making alot of headway until the predator mites couldnt keep up. First few weeks I was sure they were winning the battle, then I started seeing the spider mites numbers increase, and the predator mites just couldnt keep up. I still have a nice population of predator mites, but not nearly as much as the spider mites. So instead of spending another $500+ (my estimate is $100 in predator mites a week for 4-6 weeks) on predator mites Im just throwing in the towel on the flower room, and by throwing in the towel I mean bombing the shit out of that room. I will harvest the remaining plants tommorow, and let the room get blasted for a few days. So trying to get rid of spider mites in a perpetual grow appears possible, but expensive. So instead of having all kinds of mites in my buds, im just starting fresh. I know someone had suggested this before and I laughed at them. I really cant afford to not have a harvest for 2 months, but I cant hook up med patients with a clean conscience knowing that there are a shit load of bugs in the bud (better then pesticides IMO but still not cool). So in order to one up the spider mites I will also be building another flower room. It will be a brain bucket ebb n flo using, 20x 2 gallon pots, and 2 more 600 watters.

A question for the growers using hoods, what type of hood would you reccomend for max coverage, but easy on the wallet. I dont have $300 to spend on a hood...or two for that matter.

A little side note for the other growers dealing with PM. I use greencure and it works for atleast a week, I have PM this time of year, every year. It hard to keep the humidity down without running my dehumidifier all the time.

neem oil and lady bugs always work for me in a few days or so, and after they are gone you can continue to spray with neem and leave lady bugs in theri as a great preventor

ive used it in the soil to, it keeps them soil bugs out of it. alot of people told me not to use in the soil but i did some research of where neem comes from and what the natives use it for and they use it on the leaf and in the ground. it is also good for your skin in very small amounts that are diluted

I have a book.

Truth is every time a RIU member makes a book, I get lots editing practice.

If you want a book about science you\'ll be needing some peer review.
If you want a book about growing you'll be needing Lots of peer review.

Yes i have used neem, i have used enough neem that I should have just bought stock in GH. I got rid of them in my veg room using Azamax, but in a PERPETUAL FLOWER room its another story. You cant just dip flower plants, Im not a fan of using any pesticide on my buds. After week 2 of flower I wouldnt spray anything. Im a champion when it comes to getting rid of pests. You name it, I have had it and killed it. But spider mites in a PERPETUAL FLOWER room are a tricky bunch. I could have continued with my war and won, but at what cost. Its a sure thing if I start fresh, Ive been "controlling" the spider mites for years, now I just want them gone.

Another thing about neem, Its pretty potent stuff, dont get it on your skin. Read the label and follow the directions. I have a friend who has been using neem oil for his mites for years too....now he develops a rash under his eyes and behind his knees if he even goes in a room that has been sprayed days before hand. At first I thought it was something else causing the issue, but after seeing what happens to him just 1 hour after coming out of a room.....not cool.

And for root aphids go with Merit 75, but only in veg. <little side note
