Sorry to hear about the mites man, your screen filled out quite nicely after all! No doubt!

I'm not completely up to speed but what made you decide against lady bugs?

Yo whodat could you post what your tea recipe consists of?? Im doing an organic grow and I want to make up my own tea using guano and I was just curious as to what else you use in your recipe?
Click to expand...
I brew an organic guano kelp tea I use with every watering but Im gonna do a clean water flush in a day or two.


This is the recipe.

I use tap water and let it bubble for a couple days before I use it. The ph of the tap water is around 8. My soil is a mix of 6 parts FFOF, 2 parts earthworm castings,2 parts perlite, 1 cup of powderizd dol lime per cu foot of soiless mix.

The dry tea mix is,
2/3 cup of
Peruvian seabird guano
Jamaican bat guano
Worm castings
and 5 tbs of maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract.
I put this dry mix in pantyhose to act as a "tea bag"

5 tbs blackstrap molasses.
Mix into 5 gallons of dechlorinated water.
I let it brew for 24hrs and then use.

Whodat!
How many ladybugs do you think I'd need for my scrog? I want to try them out since last night when I fed the girls I saw gnats just like over here. I was going to pick up some gognats but think I'd like to try soem ladybugs instead. I have a no pest strip up and still have gnats, just gnats though. I would like to take the pest strip down and get some ladybugs. Also, do you know what all bugs they'll eat so I have an idea of how they'll do?
I had to shitcan two small plants yesterday when I pulled 4 to chop because they were full of dead gnats so I think I'd like to try something else. I checked all of the other plants closely and there's one other with dead gnats in some of it so I'll be chopping just those buds tonight and chucking them if I don't find a way to get them out today.

:Question:
How big is the vertical screen?
Click to expand...
it was 36"x57" but had to take it down because it was too infested and putting the rest of the crop at a high risk, boy it was going to be a nice yielder too :-(

Hey whodat, nice setup you have here. Right now my location is temporary for only a few more months so the tent works well but I'm always pondering more permanent setups like this. Definitely subbed in.

Cheers

I got the ladybugs and they were unable to battle the mites so I got some other trusty predators that Iv used before.

When I went to the grocery store I could only find Fancy molasses, which is not really molasses I don't think, and the other molasses wasn't marked clearly enough regarding the sulphur. I ended up going to a health food store and grabbed a 1L jar for about 6 bucks. And it's the blackstrap that has all the leftover goodness from the refine process that we're looking for, I think.

Pisser, the Mites bro. I've almost got my ver room emptied out and when it's empty I'm going to clean the entire vert and veg rooms with bleach and then bomb the whole garage with a Pyrethrin bomb and then I'll spray the perimeter of the garage and each room with the non toxic stuff our pest control company uses. I asked the dude that normally comes if he'll leave me some next time he's here and he agreed to fill one of my pump spray bottles with it for me. He was cool and didn't ask why I didn't want spraying in the garage. Only after that will I begin to revamp the vert room and fill it with plants.

I got some of the stuff DST recommended for the soil and have been using it in all of the pots for the past week now and see no live gnats at the moment. I think the plants in the scrog had eggs in the soil or something because the new place had gnats a few days after taking the plants over there. I hung a strip for a few days and then started treating the soil and now I don't see any and I've taken the strip down.

I use an organic agave sweetener instead if blackstrap. Its just what I found when looking for molasses and so far the plants seem to like it.
