Picture 131.jpgPicture 123.jpgPicture 130.jpgPicture 129.jpgPicture 128.jpgPicture 132.jpgthanks for stopping by hellraizer got spider mites & im trying some stuff from home depot thats organic & for $14.00 it makes 18 gals also helps control fungus im not an organic grower by any means but i do like to generate a clean ,safe product & sometimes organic is best i sprayed last night & there are no webs to report today & i cant find any of them on the leaf bottoms either. im using outdoor mechanical timers with 6 outlets in both rooms they are dependable & run all of my fans theyre weather proof & have an overload protection button which could prevent a fire if a fan motor shorts out good features for about 22 bucks im really pleased with my grow at this point things are coming around & only having to mix one ingredient at feeding time is way cool it comes out at about 5.7 ph with no adjustment & reaches 6.8-7.0 in 4 days plants are draining my res about 1-1/2 gal. a day:blsmoke:

ive had spidermites bad a couple of times but ive learned to spot them early on & take measures to stop them the organocide stuff seems to be working i put in a couple drops of dawn dishsoap too i sprayed both rooms my dirt grow shows no signs of mites but they never show until my plants start budding it says to re-apply every 2 weeks its supposed to kill the eggs too

Picture 141.jpgPicture 139.jpgPicture 140.jpgPicture 136.jpgPicture 137.jpgPicture 138.jpgstill fighting the mites but have seized the upper hand i think killing fields is gonna steal the show in spite of being a slow finisher, it just keeps getting better as things go along . slh is gonna finish first & ive not figured out what i think of the lady cane, as with a lot of the big yielders sometimes there is a trade off in quality for yield i hope this is not the case here here is todays pics with over a month to go yet things are starting to please me even at this early stage of bud development the killing fields has a sweet stickiness to it :clap::weed:

Picture 187.jpgPicture 185.jpgPicture 186.jpgPicture 184.jpgPicture 183.jpgPicture 182.jpgtook a few pics last night of both grows my soil grow is 707 headband,sour diesel & querkle [the less advanced stuff in 2 of the pics] the more advanced hydro stuff i estimate should be done in about 3-5 weeks the hydro grow is really simple & ive really had to fight back the urge to put in additives at feeding time im still only using the maxi-bloom & my bud development is as good if not better than any of my other grows using the additives

Exceptional colors in those buds, definetly some killer looking smoke. Nice setup with a very well trained canopy. I need to do some research on estimating canopy height as well as techniques to keep the nice and even as I grow in a confined space.

+ rep looking good in an alternative medium...
