latetest pics. still have mites but much less i think. plants look decent i guess considering. yellowing on some new growth in the center of grow not sure why maybe too close to light ? bud sites everywhere even under the ones u see there are tons that want out. frustrated with mite prob been using perithisomthing fogger and sprays and neem oil and "safer pest and mold control" i did every thing but drop nukes on those fuckers but i still see them crawlin under mag glass. some of the bud hairs on some of the buds are browning im wondering if its from the sprays gettin them wet and then the light frying them. im still using lucas flower formula does anyone think i have a nute over or under or defficiancy of some sort causing yellowing in center of grow?? evryone please input what u think

Have you looked into ordering a box of ladybugs for your last half of flower? Would hate to see it ruined. Ladybugs will get in all the corners, eat the eggs, everything, you will know they are gone if they ladybugs starve and die.

Yeah, I would. I dont think you want to use chems all the way through flower.

Use up your last bug bomb, let it air out good, then get the ladybugs in there.

Put a few in there, maybe half at first, just in case the residual chems kill them, you dont want to have the whole box wasted. Thats the only thing I would be careful of make sure it gets aired out good.

But if you get some ladybugs in there they will go nuts on the mites, especially hungry ladybugs that have been in a box for a week.:bigjoint:

And best of all, other then some dead ladybugs on the floor, they will have absolutely no other effects other than eating bugs.

Make sure when you are spraying for mites to spray under the leaf. Also, I spray about 90 minutes before my lights go out. This avoids burning the leaves and keeps the humidity up around the plants. I am still spraying every week to keep the mites at bay

I am using neem oil, following the instructions on the bottle. I think it is 1/2 tsp neem oil and 1 1/2 tsp of dish soap to 1 quart of water. I have a continuous operation with three flowering zones and then a veg room. I thought I had the mites beaten, but they keep coming back so now I am spraying all my plants every 3 to 4 days.

I try not to spray the top colas that are a week from cutting, just because it leaves a slight hint of the neem oil. None of my friends have complained about tasting anything on the buds so I think it is ok.

after seeing so many closet grows it is soooooooooo nice to see such a set up. Did you have to use a 220 for the light??? Great job. +rep +rep for you!

you should rig up a pump with a drip line to feed those ladies.

use a small irrigation pump from any home center connected to a 1/2 plastic pipe that reduces to individual drip lines that run to each pot. you make up some solution in a bucket and submerge the pump. it will feed each pot from on spot. you just need the drip heads on the end of the line so each pot gets the same amount of water.

any suggestions i dont have much room
