Does anyone out there ever use the product called 'No Pest Strips'. I'm considering using it a few weeks before flowering. Another product I'm considering is the perythrin bomb. Mites and thrips get pretty bad a few weeks into flowering in my situation. Thanks

it's thrips....trust me I have the same problem

Thanks everyone. i figured it was gonna be ok, but it's good to be assured. The first crop was So sweet I could not believe it. I can't wait to have another one.....

I figured it out. The calyxs were opening up becasue it was going hermis on me. I yanked em all and they turned out great still. Thank god they didn't start that earlier

that's exactly what I'm talking about!!!!! my concern is how will they turn out as adults????? and also why is this happening. Perhaps because they were cloned while the mothers were beginning the flowering stage?

i cloned a bunch of W. widows about a month ago and had them under flourescents. After pulling them out and getting a closer look, the leaves are freaking out. some of them are very curly lengthwise and some leaves have only 3 parts to them instead of 5. Some only have one part. They're healthy...

Is it typical to still have somewhat of a grassy smell after drying. They sure seem dry, now they are going into jars. what I was wondering is this. Which process is it when the grassy smell dissipates, drying or curing?

If the calyx is starting to open and go into seeding mode, is that a good indicator that it's time to harvest as well as trichs and hair color? i have these white widows (posted pics a week or so ago). Some of the tips of these 12 inch colas have calyx's that are starting to open. i'm thinking...

Will that be enough for 4-1000w lights and a few fans? But how do I add a 220 breaker if there are no vacant spaces on my box? Are you saying that I replace the existing line with a 220? And replace that 15amp switch with a 40 or something like that?

I want everything to be safe and up to code. It sounds like this may be a bit out of my league. If I understand correctly, installing a subpanel sounds like a good option. However, this requires an electrician and an inspection. The main box is about 50 feet from the bedroom. I don't want it to...

Thanks for the response. I think i'll look into that. Maybe I'll call an electrician..

So that's in your grow room, and a 220 line from that goes to your main box? If I don't have a vacant spot on my main box, it's impossible right?

So Captn and Syrius, thanks for the replies. Confusing but I'm learning. If I want to do the above, i'm gonna need to run a 220 line to my breaker right?

Here's a question to the electricians. Currently I'm running 2 1000w Metal halides with the convertible ballasts for HPS. This setup is on a large closet in the garage. I had to run one one extension cord for a short distance into another circuit because I quickly found out that 1 circuit...
