I've looked pretty much everywhere I can scope, I'm hoping I dodged the bullet getting them :/
Thanks for the condolences everyone, super bugs are no Joke.

I hang the strips in the room right at canopy level and have a light breeze from a fan blowing across the canopy. All I change is I turn off all exhaust, everything else stays hr same. Keep the grow room doors closed. I hang them for two days, take them down for two days and then hang them for 2 days again. This should kill all the regular kind of bugs like thrips, mites and gnats. Do not use them repeated to avoid the bugs getting resistant to them. Use them to completely eradicate bugs so you are sure no more will be back for a while, if they do come back after a month or two, use them 1 more time to end the battle. But if they keep coming back, they are entering from another place, so you should use another pesticide (to avoid tolerant bugs) and figure out where they are coming from and treat that area.

I'm going to wait until Sunday to flower the glue, I need to take some cuts so it looks like I'll be growing the glue for a little while longer until the pest problem is solved. Boooooooo.... But it's the best plan I have.
The roots are so nice, love those bennies

The enzymes have pretty much eaten all roots that were dead or dying leaving only the perfect roots behind, it's incredible!!! How anyone (including me) who said that a sterile res for hydro is best, is simply insane! I'm sorry for pushing the sterile res for so long. Though, ALWAYS keep your Aero clones sterile with pool shock, I stand by that forever

Thanks bro, I'll check nuke em out, but from what I heard is the only way to kill them is with serious sprays of like 6 different products 4 days apart for a couple months, they will eat a pest strip for lunch and they will have forbid for dinner lol

last question, if I run my lites and turn off my vent, it will heat up, whats the trick?

Can you dim them? What kind of lights for veg and what size space, can you just use supplemental lighting if heat is an issue? My veg room uses 1000w but it's t5 lights, my rooms about 10x10 so it doesn't heat up to much. I'd suggest just using some floros for a couple days while you're using the strips. Hope this helps hippy

Kushberry, I have two of these and they are freaking monsters. I way over vegged them some how, but it should fill their trellis space Hella good. Hoping it comes out better this time, fingers crossed they are in organic vermisoil and being fed Bennie synthetic res water

I'm remembering how much easier it used to be to not have a mama room at all, and just take cuts off the plants you're about to flower. On 8-9wk flower plants, if you take clones the day before flower, they root in 10 days, you have 6 weeks to veg about keep the rotation going. I mean I only veg for 4 weeks, but imagine the extra training you could do in 6 weeks? Hmm. My minds working something up, I can feel it lol.
I got all these cuts off 1 of the 15 plants and I didn't clone any dominant tops. I could take 150 clones and wouldn't notice a thing and I wouldn't need a separate mama room.
Time to flower these now, they got out of control.

Very true, especially with all the chaos in nor Cal this year. I think a separate remote mother room that's not in any of the flower /veg houses would work killer. In my case though, if I had mama's at my place, it would just lead to more infected plants if there was an outbreak of bugs, and would be harder to treat since they'd be bigger, since my veg room is for everything not in flower

Well I got the glue, spb x Chem and kushberry into flower. Having some complications. The nursery pots float inside the ebb buckets. Hoping they can handle it until I figure something out tomorrow. Need to bricks I think to hold them down. The kushberry were WAYYYYYY bigger than I thought so I had to supercrops every single branch. Hope they don't get mad. The sour powers are a bit smaller than the glue and I kept 1 of them for a mama, so only have 15 plants in there now. The other spb was small so it wasn't worth flowering any how.
I wish the glue were another 4" tall because most of them aren't quite tall enough to reach the trellis and the branches are so flimsy, no bueno. Will try to tidy things up tomorrow if I can.

The last 3 gg4 s1 beans I popped grew too big in the paper towel (i forgot about them) so I germed 3 more and all sprouted again and I got them planted.
Took two batches of cuts.
Here's the ghostrider day 14 I think. They are still looking ok
