MZ. Will the predators survive once they've wiped out the mites, or am I going to have to replace them every time I get a new infestation? I've read up a bit on them and they seem effective, but they are pricey enough that I can't afford to be buying a new set every 3-4 months.

Ah, ok. That makes sense. I've had a cold and have been too sick to do anything more then keep my plants watered for the last few days, but things are coming along ok. I still haven't managed to wipe out the spider mites completely, but I've knocked them back pretty hard. I was planning on...

You're using the inline fans without the lines? I thought they were only useful if you had them connected to lines that actually vented the hot air outside the room? The main reason I've been planning to move to the basement rather then just modify my existing rooms is that I they only have two...

Time for another update. I harvested the two that had the spider mite problem yesterday, and it looks like I managed to keep them from spreading to any of the other plants that are left, though I intend to continue giving them weekly neem spraying for prevention. These were the plants that...

Heyas Riddle, It's time for another harvest! This set were planted in small pots( 3.5 gallon) and were the ones that had the light fall on them, so they are a bit smaller then my others. They've also had spider mite problems off and on, which has also kept them smaller then they should have...

A window AC won't work, but there are a number of portables on the market that might, all depends on the size of your space. I have a portable swamp cooler (evaporative cooler) that will both cool a single room and raise the humidity level by about 25-30%, but it only works for 4 hours before...

Mite predictors? That's a new one on me. Only way I know to tell the things are around is to either spot one, or to see the signs of it feeding on my leaves. I've had problems with them off and on for the last six months, and it seems like ever time I'm sure they have been wiped out and start...

BM, I may have to give that a try. I had a bit of a brain fart when I released the lady bugs and forgot to take the no pest strips out of the room. Needless to say I had a ton of dead lady bugs by the next morning, and so far I've only spotted a couple that survived.

Jiffo, I do, but not the way you're thinking. My plants only get nutes twice during veg, and the one that includes the slightly elevated P levels is done about 2 days before they move to flowering. Basically all I'm doing is giving it to them a couple days early so that they have time to...

Quick update. The neem oil spraying hasn't seemed to have much effect and the spider mites were starting to completely over run the plant they started on and were beginning to migrate to another plant, so i decided to call in the (flying) cavalry. As of about 4 hours ago my vegging and...

Ah, ok. I remember reading some of those threads/articles, I just never really reached a conclusion of my own and the whole subject slipped my mind. I have to admit, when i forgot to add the bloom nutes to my water a few weeks back for three consecutive waterings I really didn't notice much...

Riddle, I must have missed part of the discussion. When did elevated P levels during flowering become a bad thing? I agree that you don't want to go with nute mixtures that have really high P and low N, but everything I've ever read indicated that cannabis needed to have more P then N during...

John, Yeah, we made cannabis butter (cannabutter) with all the leaf trimmings. You take your trimmings and simmer them in a pot with butter for 16+ hours, strain the mixture thats left over through a cheesecloth or some other form of strainer to get rid of whats left of the leaf materials...

Nightwulf, Just my two cents. I used to use the FF nutrients as well, but after reading some of UB's posts i gave dyna grow and jacks classic a try, and haven't had any of the problems the FF nutes used to cause. The dyna grow formula I use is a 7-9-6 that i find is really good for the last...

Emerald, if you don't want to go tree's then a Sativa may not be the best choice for you. You can keep sativas small, but it requires you to start flowering them with very little veg time, and usually requires some training as well.

Getting your MMj card here is easy, it just takes a couple hundred bucks to pay the doctor and the state registration fee. And the economy here is better then most of the country, so finding a job isn't as hard as it would be in say, California. I can definately relate to your situation...

You folks are all missing something. It doesn't require a socialistic society to ensure a fair distribtion of wealth, just regulations on just how much of a profit any given owner/stockholder can make off their investment in comparison to the wages paid to the companies employees. Look, the...

Jeff, How is any different then the way the left blamed Bush for everything that happened during his term whether he was really responsible or not? Obama wanted to be President, and that means taking the blame for anything that happens while he is in office. The guy gives a good speech, but...

I don't have a CO2 monitor myself- I was hoping you did so that you could tell us just how much your method was increasing the CO2 levels in the room. The method sounds like It should work, I'm just curious about how much CO2 it is creating in comparison to one of the commerical models.

Side by side or in a line will both work. The question is how much do you want their coverage areas to overlap? You will get more overlapping with them side by side, but you can also hang them a bit farther apart for that same reason. With in line you don't get as much overlap, but you also...
