neem isnt a chemical pesticide, and its not a gh brand .. its an all organic pesteicide from the neem plant. ive used it in flower countless times with no ill effects towards the roots or the plant when i foliar the neem on .

Strickly i use diamond hoods x2 they give about 1.5m footprint at 500mm above the canopy without hot spots and also have you tried spray safe by Canadian express? it's safe to use against mites rite up to the chop it melts the little wankers and their eggs.

Whodat I'll post a pic of the 2 Durban's i got left to chop so you can see what it's like before the chop imo their not 2 bad, the worst i've had to chop was northern lights that shit grows so much leaf that it takes hours just to chop a 3 foot plant.

yes neem oil is made by numerous companies from the oil of the neem tree and its seeds. by the way seedless talks about his infestation, i think its way past simple need oil spraying. azamax is better than neem oil and is still not working for him therefore he needs to go to the extreme of bombing his grow room. neem oil does effect plants in flower as if used in an amount to damage the mite population. if sprayed on leaves and roots, yes the plant will be fine, but in a large mite infestation the things will be all over, including the lights, walls, fans, buds, leaves, everything. when neem is sprayed on hairs of the buds then they quickly burn and shrivel( the same as they have done with green cure for PM). when i had mites they got so out of control they made strands of mites like chains hanging from the tip of the leaves. i stopped growing and was pretty much the only way to get rid of them for me. ive known one other grower who was able to defeat a large population of mites ranging from both veg and flower rooms. pretty amazing little fuckers, they actually bleed when you kill them! by the way battling PM and spider mites at the same time is a loosing battle. mites love dryer climate and PM hates dryer climate.

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.

I dont think its a good idea to use azamax and predator mites at the same time. Strong chemicals like azamax can stay on and in a plant for extended periods of time and do its job against your good predators :-( Your miticide is killing both of your mites good and bad.

About your hood question- Im using two "yield master 2" hoods and lovem so far.
Best of luck with those little bugs strictly...

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.

i'm fairly sure that one of the "grow bible" type books is written by the people from a forum of some kind, cannabisx i think (no longer running)? i've read the book on my pc and my mate had a copy was pretty good. when i get home i'll give u guys the name of it :)

I've been running 2x Hydrofarm Daystar AC and have been very happy. They deliver light very evenly and I love the construction of them. Not too bad of a price either, I would look them up on their website for more technical info. I'm very satisfied :) Looking very sexy 3eyes!!

A lil porn for ya, It's a Blizzard outside so I've got a lil extra time on my hands before I brave the roads to fill up a Growler (68 oz.) of Powder Hound, a Local Seasonal (7.2% ABV)

First is the Sensi star cross, changing lots daily!!
ssecond and third are my Trainwrech cross, started with lil tiny buds and i was pretty worried, now at wk. 6 I'm getting pretty excited!
Last is my first attempt at getting a photo through my scope. It's of a Sensi Star bud I snipped a few days ago to taste, I was a lil anxious but it's a casualty of Science!!

Repost from my thread for those who haven't seen it...

Here are some pics of the mother room. Top level has 10 white widows in 12'' x 12'' pots and a couple clones of some Trinity and two unknowns (pic of the bud from unknown on the previous page). Lower level has 4 white widows and the clones. The four mothers on the bottom were not touched for clones and the 10 on top all had a bit taken off to get the 92 clones.

Basically the way it is set up now is how I will keep the mother room for the most part...once the clones are rooted the cloner will come out and all those clones will go into 4'' x 4'' pots until 6 - 8'' veg...from there transferred into 3 gallon pots/bags and into the flower room.

The upstairs of the house is already starting to smell so the ozone generator will be installed sooner than later.

On to the pics

92 clones


Top level is built with a table to keep the water in and lined with pond liner
