Is avid a bug bomb? or a spray? The local grow store has Dr.Doom bombs for cheap and they swear by them so that's an easy option. As for the sulphur burner, I appreciate you being specific about how to use it as I will be setting one up VERY soon thanks man. How much are they US dollar and where about can I purchase said item? Good help thanks again +rep

Avid is a spray not a bug bomb. Bug bomb will burn the plants around it. They are kinda harsh on the plants. Avid is nasty shit, but the plants don't take a beating like the bug bombs it only kills the mites!! Where do you live? Just Google "Sulfur Burner for sale" and it should pull up local places for you. I think mine was $125. Usually the grow shops around here are just talking out of their asses. Pretty much anytime anything is easy it doesn't work as good. It's kind of like its to good to be true statement. I would recommend the Avid and I would use it even if you don't see bugs before you put it into flower just use a less strength solution.

its nothing that a little neem oil cant fix i use it to control powdery mildew on my plants and it works pretty good though it is to kill spider mites but it is safe and organic give it a try its only like 4 or 5 bucks for a small bottle yull thank me if u do

That cheap neem oil is really not any good. You need to spend a little more and get the cold pressed neem oil. There's something about the difference in the way its made. I read research papers about the cold pressed Neem Oil. If you are going to use Neem Oil you should only use the Cold Press Kind.

alrighty so use avid for a pre-flower spray huh... I will do that as I'm not gonna fuk with bugs period, nuke em' and forget, I have PM to worry about anyway. I sprayed the shit outta my plants with that skim milk solution yesterday, they look fine and healthy today they just have a milky dry film all over them but green and lush. I want to fill the spray bottle with just purified water next and clean off the plants, is that ok to do tomorrow or so? (will have been 2 days on)

Also I want under 4 footers, they are between 8 and 10 inches today, is it safe to start flowering when the smallest is 12 inches and still expect my pound per 8 plants harvest or will the plants just be plain too small to produce that? I'm afraid if I leave them to veg to 16 inches or so I will get too tall of plants... og kush is the strain.

og kush doesent stretch much during flower get em like 2 foot first, and couldent we just manually burn the sulfer, i bought the elemental sulpher and tryed makeing a home made burner, was a bad idea the fucking sulpher ignited and i had some fire in my room, cant u just make a little pile on the floor or in a metal can and lite it? i just been lighting it with my lighter and then leave the room, one pebble makes the whole room stink, is this a bad idea am i wasteing my time?, and with organicide and oils that shits nasty makes ur tent and walls all sticky, something ideal is clean and easy aka sulpher burner good luck man

Azamax is an amazing product, I haven't had any PM since I began implementing that
in my feeding additives, it is a systemic (as is powdery mildew) so if your plant comes in
contact with it it will be absorbed in to the cells and spread throughout the plant.

PM is kind of like Herpes for plants, you really can't get rid of it and certain conditions will
make it show, but if you start over and clean your room completely you can prevent yourself
from having it even when environmental conditions worsen.

Azamax my friend, Azamax.

i just started an amateur sealed room for one plant. i planned on putting in the exhaust on night two. co2 was running and so was the cooltube. bam! overnight i got powdery mildew. So i put in the exhaust and right and rubbed some of the leaves and this is the third night so I hope i got it under control. never had it before but I got some sulfur sprays and neem on hand if it is not under control. I think it has to do with the moisture so i dried the room right out with a permanent exhaust at night cycle and one exhaust during the day. I hope enough. i also put one of those cans that sucks moisture outa the air in the tent. I am running a five gallon dwc in there for a tree and plan for three more. i hope i can keep it under control. never thot it could hit so fast as I always use big fans to pull the air. so exhaust and dry leaves is crucial.

It has to do with fluctuations of Humidity in my experience, solid consistent humidities
do better than fluctuations. It really can be trouble, if your plant has it certain conditions
will bring it out, if your plant doesn't have it, no conditions will just "cause" it to happen.

Dude your are killing me. I can't stop laughing and picturing a sulfer fire in your room. I don't think it would work, but who really knows. I bet you could get a hot plate or something like that and turn it on low and put the sulfer in a metal pan. You could do that cheap, but start on low.... The burner is just a metal heating element.

Guy that made the thread...forgot your name... No way though will get that bigger especially with all the problems you are having. Get them healthy and pinch the tops if you need to keep them short. Maybe they'll stretch 50%, but need to have that shit under control or it'll kill you goals. I know it sucks having to wait, but if you have goals...

Incandescent bulb in a small wooden box with two compartments.
In one compartment is the incandescent bulb, seperated from the
other compartment by plexi glass, in the other compartment is the sulphur,
the bulb is turned on, and heats the sulphur to an acceptable temperature.
