Lower your plants and surrender your harvest.
Your existence as a marijuana grower as you have known it is over...from this day forward you will service us.
Resistance is futile...


No shit...

Where is species 4278 when you need them ?

Anyway....

My last grow was assimilated and pretty much went to shit. ( They did not bother my Cali Mists for some reason...plants on all sides were getting hammered ..my kushs..grape apes etc..but not the Cali's ..weird huh ? The Calis must have some kind of cloaking device)

Never had them before in over 2 years of growing....then I brought home a clone from a dispensary and everything went to hell. ( The dispensary knew it was infected ! Bastards ! )

With tons of expensive organic sprays I made it through to harvest...throwing over half of it away..( Just to be safe )

I'm not growing this summer..too frigging hot ! But I do have some small plants I popped from seeds. Keep them vegging all summer. ( Just a few CFLs...my 1000 watt HPS / MH is offline till fall )

But guess what.?..after tearing down my tent...throwing all dirt , buckets etc away...sterilizing light hoods, in line fan housing, warp plasma conduits etc..steam cleaning carpets...cleaning and repainting walls..guess who trans-warped back into my quadrant ?

I'm not big on chemical warfare...but enough is enough. So after altering a large cardboard box..I put the plants in and dropped a photon torpedo in ( Hotshot Power Strip ) I've had this Hotshot for a long time but was too paranoid to use it..even on my last assimilated grow.
Taking said box outside and placing it on the deck....6 hours later the Borg are dead. ( checking leaves I noticed I had Thrips too...the Ferengi of pot growing )

Removed all infected leaves...hosed them down with Neem. Having pro cleaners come in and re do the room.

I will not be setting up my tent again until the fall...the plants grown from seed were merely started to see if the seeds were viable...8 out of 8 is pretty good...and I have over 50 more seeds. ( Everything but the light will be new when I resume my 5 year mission to explore strange new weeds, seek out new strains and get more baked then anyone has done before.. so new plastic,soil, buckets, Mylar, ducting etc )

So for the rest of the summer I will be experimenting with other organic remedies ...such as growing Rosemary and Geraniums with the plants etc. ( besides the regular Neem phaser attacks )...trying predators ( Lady bugs suck )

If necessary I will continue with periodic photon torpedo attacks ( Hotshot ) I really don't like chems though.

And see what happens...if they die or I can't deal with them anymore and toss them..no biggie ! Got plenty more seeds and clones are cheap here.. I got enough head stash for several more months.

Hopefully a professional cleaning ( They are going to heat the room itself to like 130 degrees...) Along with a carpet re-treatment I'm hoping the room will be sterile enough to where I never see those nasty Borg again. ( This will be done just before I build a new grow tent this fall )

And this time...nobody goes into the grow tent but me..

I really hate the Borg....

And yes I'm a big Trek fan..

Grow large and Prosper.

I feel your pain and I have gone to the Dark side and gone out side, were the force will give to the balance of nature and good Karma.
Good luck and may the force be with you..
 
I got hit by the Borg as well. I hung a HOTSHOT in the tent (54"x54") and bye bye Borg. I left it in there so the existing Borg eggs would hatch and get drilled as well (7 days). Gonna wash out the tent with bleach water and hang another strip in there while my seeds are germinating. I hate the Borg.
