Bio Bizz Bio Bloom compliments Fox Farms flowering nutes Really Really well, and I highly recommend using them together. My feeding methods are recorded randomly through out my grow journals if you are interested in how I have used them together before.

That is with lights off. I expect it to get a bit cooler in there today, right now it is sixty seven and my light have only been off for fifteen minutes. I think I'm developing spider mites. I put on my magnifying headglasses to look at a leaf that I thought looked strange and sure enough it looks like spider web and I see tiny creatures. Not a lot of them but I see them. I think I'm moving chopping day up to tomorrow, they will be three days shy of eight weeks. I don't want to give the little turds any more time to multiply than necessary. I'm not dicking around, as soon as I remove them, I'm bombing my room. My casey jones has weeks to go, I suspect she is going to be infected also.

My temps have been rock steady. Generally they range from a low of about seventy two to a high of about seventy eight. Masonman, it didn't reach fifty here yesterday but today is supposed to be in the sixties and back to seventy something and thunderstorms on monday and tuesday and then cold again. You can always tell the visitors in florida, they are the ones with shorts on when everyone else is wearing winter clothes. I suspect if I came from, let's say Iowa, I would think fifty in january was warm too.

sorry to here about this headsup, get Diatomaceous earth straight away for the plants that are not infected. Give the top soil a good sprinkly of that (i use a pepper pot like thing.) If they do transfer from your drying bud, which they will, you need to make sure that their path is not an easy one. So if you hang your buds, make sure the string or whatever you are hanging them on has neem oil or something similar all over it. This should stop them in their tracks. Then bomb away, but don't expect that to always kill all the eggs. If there are some in your soil the DE will do this. I used DE in combination with a Bayer product, for spraying, but there are many more. I do believ the soil will need attention, hence the DE.

Hope you get it dialled mate.

I do not re-use my soil so that is not really a concern and thankfully the last time I did some nute shopping, I also got some neem oil and thank you for that little gem of a tip, I would have not thought of that. I responded to your post on the six hundred.

the "de" on top of the soil is not because you re-use it, it's because the little fuks will lay eggss in there as they pass on their way to munch your new plants. Even if you get them and you think, ah they are all gone, suddenly you have them back. Each plant needs to be given the same treatment in my experience. Once I done that I got rid of the thrips and the spider mites (the same things was done to the clones and the veg area)...gnats are another story but don't kill your plant like mites and thrips do.

you can water the soil with neem and water and the neem will suffocate the eggs if any that are in the soil

Ewwwww sorry to hear that Headsup. I havent yet encountered the spider mites yet thank god. Im sure one day they will appear sos im going to stock up on remedies just incase. Hope you get them lil fker grave yard dead HU.

Speaking of pests ive noticed ive got lil black knats buzzing around the plants. They dont seem to be doing any harm but i gotta wonder. Ive read somewhere that its a good sign of living soil?? does that make sense. Ive even found them in the root balls of the hydro plants. They are everywhere but again no noticeable signs of munching. Can someone enlighten me.

Yikes thats a scary thought las. Im quite sure the lil shits are originating from the soil plants. Again no noticeable ill effects and ive only found just a couple that ventured into the hydro buckets. Im thinking that im just gonna hang some sticky strips up and hope to catch as many as i can without using any pesticides.

On another note the smell issue has cought my attention once again. Seems every grow my stink factor goes up lol. This time im well prepared though. I had to breakdown and go buy yet another expensive investment to the grow. A ion Ozone gen. For those of you that have followed my previous few grows i had borrowed an ozone gen from a fellow grower pal of mine and it worked really well. Almost to well as it started to make me ill. Even though ive doubled the size of my carbon filter and exhaust fan the pungent smell of the dogs and headbands are already noticeable at only 2 wks flower. I happened to find a local enviromental outlet store that sells the exact same ozone gen that i used in my previous grows for $300.00, its big enough to treat the air in a large building and is fully adjustable which is a nice feature when late in flower and smell is at an all time high.

I probably am a bit anal about keeping the ganj odour at nil becasue my grow room is directly below the floor of my front door and you never know whos gonna pop up on the door step and catch a wiff. Ive read about the popo doing knock and talk tactics to sniff out suspected grow ops so im not taking any chances there. No popo will even get the oppotunity to talk to the bad man hahah. NOT WELCOME hahaha.

I guess i aught to snap a few pics today already be back with a few in a bit. Peace 1BMM

I get fungus gnats in hydro. The maggots feed on your root hairs, which can weaken your plants, slow growth, etc. The yellow stickies work really well at suppressing the population. You may still have a few, but not enough to affect anything, and you won't be applying dubious poisons. Mites, on the other hand: extreme prejudice there. I go straight to defcon 4; Avid, combined with Stirrup M. Stirrup M is a spider mite sex pheromone which really 'stirs em up'. They basically run to their doom with a hardon. When it's mite season (warm months) I will treat each tray immediately before the start of flowering. Once you have budset, there are few practical remedies that I have found to work that don't compromise your crop. Using a silica additive can strengthen plants resistance against sucking pests like mites.

I have the same front door situation you do. I've been thinking about an ozone generator myself. Right now I have a front hall painting project that is doing a fine job of masking odor although paint these days just doesn't stink like it used to, low VOC and all that.

I tried everything except Avid (price) and nothing and I mean nothing worked till I used the cheapo Hot Shots No Pest strip thing. After 5 days of the strip I see nothing living. I look periodically and still nothing! Too bad the damage is done and all the plants are doing terrible as result of the long infestation.

I tried no pest strips, but I think I have too much air exchange in my space for them to be effective. I think they must work in tents or closet grows where the fumes can build up to lethal levels because I've had lots of people say what you do. but I don't grow in an enclosure of any kind. Avid rocks, but I'll only use it in veg. I figure if you start out flowering clean, there's nothing that can really impact healthy plants significantly in ten weeks, unless your environment is atrocious. It's kind of a footrace to harvest at that point if you get me. Avid will take them several weeks into flowering with immunity. After that, well, mites don't breed THAT fast.

Ok, I shoulda mentioned for the 1st day I used it I turned off all air heat etc...for a full 12 hrs. During lights off , dont do that with lights on or u will have a problem!

My grow area is a non-sealed outside shed 8x8 internally, and it leaks badly. Got to 45* in there with lights off and no heat etc...

I think it is 1 no pest strip per 1500ft2, not exactly sure. Did you use enough of them?

How does Avid work? I have heard lots about it as well.....
