Thanks for the advice whodat, Fuck!!! its really going to be a bastard of a time getting in there at the leaves just to treat them. Ive seen a few mites on almost every plant now. My one Headband is probably the worst of all of them. So no on the HSP???? Also where could a guy find a load of lady bugs? Pet store maybe?

Iv tried 1,500 ladybugs in my 8x8 and they didnt do shit to stop the borg. If the headband in particular is getting bad Id seriously consider pulling it to protect the rest of the crop. DONT SLACK ON THOSE LITTLE MOFOS! they will over run your garden in just a few days if the conditions are right! Oh if you do flood with co2 close all vents and doors and cracks to seal up the room as well as possible.
Iv never tried the HSPS, I would think they would have to come in contact with it to die and seems they like staying on the plants. But iv never used them before so I cant say they dont work.

What is an average yield for an outdoor plant?
Guess that depends on how long they vegged for, I had a seed I sprouted in July, only got 2 months of veg, and I just got over a pound. Longer veg time and you are looking at 2lbs per plant +


I had a tiny indica that vegged even shorter, and i easily cleared a Q.P.

This summer I am gonna run 6 plants in my GH and I am expecting at least 2 per plant, plus whatever i pull off my 400 on the perpetual side.

Green Thumb Nursery near my house sells them cheap. I don't remember how many are in each bag but it looks like a lot and they're only a couple bucks per bag. As far along as you are into flower, I wouldn't use them.

Can a hid bulb cause a burning smell? I took out my mh bulb and am running it from my hps ballast (no smell when the hps bulb was in)and the burning smell is back from b4 when I ran that bulb in its own ballast. I took that ballast apart and didnt smell anything there. I looked at ther mh bulb and noticed a lil piece of glass rolling around in there, we are talking realllly small though.

**Edit** bought a new mh bulb, and will see in a while if the burning smell is gone now.
Average yield on an outdoor plant is just like indoors, strain and condition dependent. If you preveg them indoor for a few months the sky is the limit, your talking 5-7 or more pounds on a single plant. Oh fuckin yeah. But thats a huge monster that has been prevegged for a good 2 or 3 months and topped to achieve a million tops. Naturally grown, I consider that started when the weather permits planting directly into soil outdoors and grown from spring through harvest, a pound is not hard, more with the right strain. I got 6 ounces dry off a white rhino, that was started a month late, was in full shade for its first 2 week of life, and then finally moved into the sunlight once the danger of farmers passed. So it could have been much bigger than the 7 feet it reached. Not to mention I had to pull it at 44 days flowering because the farmers were harvesting their crops early. It had 3 weeks left at least and could have doubled her weight easily in those three week outdoors under the sun. When you compare outdoor plants to indoor plants, there is nothing average about them. They are monsters, you are talking branches the size of most people indoor plants. At least thats what I expect, and if I dont get that its been a disappointing year.

I missed the outdoor season last year, not this year though, I will have some outdoor Heribei to medicate with come October. I will be moved and without an indoor system at that point. Yeah Im going back to almost nothing again. But I have to for my sons sake. They are renovating his school and he would have to go to school on the military base next year and Im not cool with that. So Im moving back to his old school district. I have to give up my grow room for that but my son is more important. At least I will have my old outdoor spot back :) !!! But down to only an outdoor harvest until I can move again. I hate moving. SO in between then and now I will be trying to pull in what harvests I can. Luckily I will have the outdoor going well before I move, as there is someone there to take care of it from the start. And they know what they are doing for the most part. Good and Bad going on, a lot of stress, but I will make it through, just kind of maddening is all. Take care Club 600.

I have two strips in a 5 1/2 x 9 x 8 area that has both veg and bloom and the mites are gone and the buds are happier (and so am I). Limit your time in the area if you use them.
I've thrown neem oil, azamax and pyrethrins at them with limited success. If it's really bad, then a insect bomb is in order....short of burning down the house.

:peace:

I have 8 plants vegging now, and plant to put em outside as soon as the time is right. Some are a foot tall. I am hoping for a nice harvest to make up for that expensive flop from mites.

I hope to get a pound each man! I got about a pound from 26 plants this run as the mites slowed me to a crawl growth-wise.
I plan to pull a clone or 2 from each strain b4 I throw them outdoors, and they will maybe be my mothers. I was gonna use what I have as mothers, but want big girls to go outside.

I'm going to pick up a couple more tomorrow too. I'll be sticking one in the other tent and getting a new one for veg. I think it's important to turn the fans off for a bit to let the vapor settle on your plants. The fans will blow it all over and it may never make it to where you want it. This is why the fans are off in my small tent today.

Anyone have any tips on using the Diatomaceous Earth? I sprinkled it on the soil when I got it and it seemed to kill everything very quickly. Problem is it only works when dry so as soon as you water it's not any good anymore. I've had the gnats in the soil come back and will be sprinkling more DE on the soil once the soil dries out a little after tongihts feeding. Any tips would be appreciated.

Iv herd to top dress like 2" with it but the medium grade stuff is better then the powder because the powder cakes-up when watering. Im actually gonna pick some up soon and also get green sand and azomite... This will be my first time using these things but I think it will def help my soil.
