How's the density feeling with flouros?
the cheese berry are rock hard. The NL OG are less dense. A little fluffy on lower buds of NL OG.
I have 1 coral wave in each fixture. Those put out alot of IR. Infrared / far red promotes bud density and drives flowering.

Say on the aloe gel for cloning, anything particular when looking for aloe? Can they be grown and utilized continually? Has anyone ROLS an Aloe?
I grow 2 kinds of aloe plants. Either work... When growing aloe. New aole plants will sprout if you have them in a big enough pot. Just give them time before pillaging the leaves

A waste of useful time, imho(if you're not processing large quantities of it)... I squeeze 'em and compost what's left.. NBD.

Find more info (I didn't care to find the links to aloe powder myself, I apologize) on aloe here.

Why aren't you using reflective material again?....your wasting 20% of your light to the sides as you obliviously know.

Lavender vs Rosemary........what's better indoors for pest prevention?

I'm broke.... I will buy mylar eventually... I still may buy tents in the future.... The t5's as you know, the light doesn't go far off the sides.... Lavender and mint are supposed to keep spider mites and regular spiders away. Rosemary is more for gnats and other flyers... You can use lavender oil or peppermint soap in a foliar too... I picked up some hemp peppermint soap along with barley seeds yesterday.. There all kinds of various companion crops that do various things.

Hanging (and re-hanging, and re-hanging...) Mylar is a royal pain in the ass. I recommend white reflective roof sealer. Easy, permanent, washable/wipeable, and over 85% reflective.

Sucks to hear.......flat white paint/cardboard on the cheap bro

I have a gnat infestation in my other room and the massive Rosemary bush is doing jack shit since I brought it in. I've to dressed ground up fresh Rosemary/perlite blend and they still keep coming. Neemed the Fuck out of everything too, at least 4 times a week, nada.
Friend gave me some insect frass, which should discourage them from laying this fecal matter, but still nothing

I can get neem meal locally......but I fear the same conclusion........i'm about to hit them with bifenthrin, and Cal it a day on these super gnats....

That's meant for outdoor use only obviously.......the off gassing is a big nono in an organic garden.....indoor flat white paint with added titanium dioxide and fungicide is best.

Couple coats though:-P

Pick up some compost worm castings. top dress... That will get rid of the larva and the crawlers. Once the gnats become flyers they only live for a few days to a week.. If you set a bowl of water they will fly to it and drown themselves. You can try neem meal. Top dress a 1-2 tbsp. Works better than the oil. Plus neem meal has nutes too

I have not had a bug problem in years until I moved here. Its just been spider mites.... I get rid of them before they do any damage. then they come back 2 weeks later like clock work... My cat might be bringing them in. I doubt it though...I'm going to bug bomb that room between batches. I sprayed the whole area with peppermint soap last night. They don't like the smell....

With rosemary I think its the flowers they form that do it. like lavender and basil... When growing rosemary and basil, you are supposed to cut off flowers if they start forming. It makes the herbs no good and changes the flavor.. Catch 22

Yeah worm castings!! That's it and I can get it cheap here locally as well......like dump it (inch) top dress or go light(soil drench)?

Annual herbs (basil) will turn in taste after flowering and bolt.......not perennials like Rosemary.....but I know what you Mean:-P

Dawg's the man^^ as usual

I should have been more clear... The coating I chose was Henry EnviroWhite, which is available at Home Depot. It contains less than 25 g/L VOCs; for a comparison, Kilz interior paint contains less than 50 g/L VOCs, and typical solvent-based exterior paint contains about 350 g/L VOCs. The EnviroWhite also contains titanium dioxide (white pigment) and chlorothalonil (fungicide). Chlorothalonil is the active ingredient in Daconil fungicide, which is OK'd for use on tomatoes and veggies up until the day of harvest. The chlorothalonil in non-volatile, meaning it isn't jumping off the walls and onto my plants. I'd never spray with it, but I'm OK with it keeping my walls fungi-free. Combine that with a full cabinet volume of air exchanged every 15-20 seconds (exhausted to the outdoors), and I'm good to go.

Yes, the label still says "exterior only", but I did my homework, read the MSDS, and researched the chemicals involved before I used it.

Good info. I'll check it out maybe. I might be getting a free roll of mylar...

I can't paint my walls.... So I would have to set up ply wood or something.. If I did that would I still need primer like with paint... Probably the kilz stain blocker / primer in one.... Which I already have...
