im seriously considering shutting my op down or at least breaking the cycle so i can bleach the tent and the cupboard. the mites are getting right on my wick i need me some chemical warfare, the buzz off stuff has slowed them doon but the fuckers breed like rabbits on E
Have you contemplated doing a 'flea bomb' in there Don?
Let one of those babies off and that will clean 'em out.
Nasty shit though.

yeah i did look at them and had almost clicked on the buy button then i read the things are toxic and would pretty much kill everything including the plants:shock: so i decided not too, i they weren't a couple of weeks from the end of flower id have been tempted, thats the prob with the perpetual, im always going to have some going in and comin out.

i think a shut down is the only way im going to win the war:cry::evil::neutral:

yeah ive been keepin the numbers down doing a regular spray i think ill keep on regular sprays till the chiesel n lowryders come out then ill have a week or so before the cheese n psycho clones go in. if i set up the bath and dip them this week and at the weekend i should be able to clear the veg cupboard of the brutes. then its just the 2 big girls to go over with a fine tooth combe, their getting pretty big now

dude the whole flat is honking, ive had my filter 10 months now and i was thinking about replacing it or getting some more of the ONA gel stuff, of course having 12 of them in veg doesnt help the pong much either lol. they've been in about 2 weeks

oi oi willy welcome to the burns ward....

yeah you can replace the old carbon in your filter, but only if you didnt get a cheap sealed can :neutral: like me haha the better quality ones you can take apart, difference in price isnt that much i might get a decent one this go round.

as for the mites well i think ive found the solution, some american bed bug killer hot shots pest strip or some shit its called i read a thread just today and the old timers said its all carcinogenic n blah blah this youll die that, but i reckon a shbort burst will do the fuckers in and not taint the weed. if it kills me i wont care is my figuring.

i use Canna coco A+B and canna pk 13/14 for a booster the a+b are cheap as chips £12 for a litre of both A and B but the dose is 4ml per litre so im racing through it. the NPK is quite low in comparison to my normal soil nutes but the babies dont seem to have any complaints, ill see what the yeilds are like soon enough...

thanks for stoppin by :joint:

Yes mate Iv read that you can slightly burn the coal in the oven to regenerate it, I will have to see what my pong factor is like at 3/4 weeks with the good old E Cheese.
I have'nt searched for coal to replenish my filter with Iv seen it needs plenty of shaking to get it to settle, just give it to my mate Shake for ten mins
he is a living womans sex aid puts the rabbit to shame :shock:

My hydro guy I got the filter said that I can use the hose to wash it and let it dry in the sun and I can re-activate the charcoal. He said I might get another 6 months out of one doing that.....

i had a quick squiz on the tinternet n it seems a weird mix for bloom 4-3-5 usually thay arent that high in N, your doing the right thing tho just balanced water for a couple of waterings then start at a 1/4 or a half what you were on then work your way back up.

some strains just dont like a lot of nutes!? what you growing? journal?:joint:
