smallest i would buy is 400w. cause i started with those and wish i had gone larger to start ;). Don't get a unit with the ballast built into the reflector, they weigh a ton and are difficult to hang.
save your money. the culinary school i went to is getting sued for misleading students on jobs available. Basically, even with a degree, you still have to earn your way thru the trenches. I'm still a line cook.
the other reason to not run pumps 24/7, most are mag driven and will strip iron from the water. also, the pumps are expensive and wear out the more you use them.
all 3 of my lowryders #2 started out mutant like that. They eventually recovered, i assumed it was transplant shock or something. Haven't seen it with any regular photoperiod plants
Erm, the strip releases "Dichlorvos" into the air gassing anything in the area. Seems like thats just as chemical as anything else ;). This did not work for me, though it did help contain them from leaving an area. These need to be enclosed with the plant, limited ventilation in small areas...
Just cull the males and get rid of them. It will just give you a headache otherwise. Cannabutter isn't made from your buds, its made from the leftover trimmings that still have crystals on em. I fail to see how an immature male plants with no buds would have more thc. How many males do y'all...
How strong are you mixing it? My azamax had a range of applications, anywhere from 5ml to 15ml per gallon. I used it as a foliar spray AND in the nute water. Some people have recommended vacuuming the whole bud. It will damage the leaves, but remove the mites. I would try a combo attack...
Haha im looking forward to popping these beans! Been wanting to try c99 since back in the day Bros Grim version. Im not sure what my freebies are, though i LOVE the case mosca uses! "ARCATA T.W.X OTM"??? Im sure it'll grow dank! Got too many strains to choose just one!
