Man, I pray I don't have to battle bugs. I've been lucky so far in 15 years I've had mites once, killed them with vodka and soap. I've had thrips once last year and killed them with two treatments of spinosad (they came in from my huge tomatoes plants, great tip about not messing around in the garden too long) and I've had gnats once last month and killed them with gnatrol. That's what I thought was RA but luckily it wasn't phew.
Here's a scientific study I found last month about the heat treatment. Also, you can put heaters in your grow room and make the Temps really hot and it'll kill russet mites or aphids etc with no harm to the plants
good vibes on staying bug free yall

I'm running 1315w (1000w HPS, 315w CMH) in a 5x5. I bet if I turned off my fans it would get that warm pretty quickly.Man, I pray I don't have to battle bugs.

Think I should try upping the temp to that like 120 for a little bit?
Also I wonder if it would be worth it to water with like 120-140f water at the same time just to make sure everything gets warmed.
Hope I don't hurt my myco or bacteria though, i've been focusing hard on them O:
I have a compost tea right now thats been brewing for like 2 1/2 days though. Maybe i'll just pop it up to 120ish and then after feed with that tea and a bunch of myco
Edit: It would probably only take like 2-3 minutes to drop the tent temp back down to under 80 after the heating

You'll have to read up a little on it brotha. I think 140 is too hot though, I think it has to be as close to 115-120 as can be, I wish I could help more, but I haven't had to battle them myself so I don't have any first hand experience with heat treatments and I don't want to give you the wrong info, but I'm wishing you and your gear good vibes and I think you can kick some RA ass with a little reading on the topic

Yep fair enough i'm doing a little reading. A lot of people seem to have success at 120f.You'll have to read up a little on it brotha.

My 2nd grow sometimes got up to 110f (Was working with what I had, didnt have a choice) and that grow was the best grow i've ever done.
I can't imagine 120f is going to harm the ladies too much, especially if its just for a little bit.
A lot of people seem to have success at 120. I'm sure it will heat up quick and I can watch pretty much the whole time to make sure nothing gets too nuts
All in all though like I said. I'd geniunely be surprised if these fucks stop me from harvesting this crop. That being said; i'll probably have to take a short break (1-2 weeks) after to make sure I kill them all.
I'll probably put a lot of effort into preventing this type of thing in the future, i've had fungal gnats and white flies before but i've dealt with them both. These root critters are a menace lol

Happy birthday to your little lady Jig!
Righty so I got the wrong end of the stick re the Blue Pit, it's not BX1 after all. Regular BP will still be on sale soon.
Re the root aphids/gnats. I had them last year, they are next to impossible to deal with. I know most in the 600 are not down with the chemical poison option but hot shot strips will kill any bugs you have, they're safe to use if you get rid of them after they are done working.

This stuff is relatively new, once I realized Spinosad is an organic bacterium I gave it a shot and had similar results mitigating thrips. It's definitely on the all natural go-to list from now on.
Spinosad, the active ingredient upon which Natroba™ is based, is a non-synthetic, fermentation product of the soil bacteriumSaccharopolyspora spinosa. Spinosad was first identified in a soil sample take by a Lilly employee at an abandoned rum still on a Caribbean Island in 1983. Insecticidal activity was first discovered by Lilly in mosquito larvae in 1985, and it was first launched in a commercial, EPA registered product in 1997 with its use for caterpillars in cotton as caterpillars had become resistant to pyrethroids or other broad-spectrum materials. In 2000, the Elanco division of Lilly launched its first animal health product in Australia for use on sheep.

Haha, my lass (bout 6 years ago when she was 2 ) got her hands on a full plastic tub of Philadelphia soft cheese and decided to paint the sofa, tv, carpet and herself lmao.Don't even get me start on mustard seeds, been standing on the fukking things for the last 2 days. The Yin found a pack in the drawer and thought it was great to shake them about....shame the lid wasn't on right!!!
Started the day with a handful of blueberrys
Bought two small bushes last year and dug them into the ground with some ericaceous soil. Had fair few handfuls over the past couple of weeks, gona get some more plants when I have the money. Strawberries have been in abundance but are just shooting out runners now, planted them in smaller pots. My raspberries have been devastated by every winged/crawling/hopping mofo from the garden lol.
Day 4 from switch, 32 plants, 13 strains, 4 of them breeders boutique, dog, blue pit, deepblue x livers, jakes dream. lager pots in the middle, smaller plants on trays either side, hand watering is a bitch lol.

The DEA chief finally admitted the truth about marijuana versus heroin

http://www.vox.com/2015/7/30/9073215/marijuana-schedule-drug-heroin
The new head of the Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday finally acknowledged what his predecessor could not, admitting that "heroin is clearly more dangerous than marijuana."
Chuck Rosenberg's comments, reported by the Huffington Post's Matt Ferner, came a week after he stated that marijuana is "probably" less dangerous than heroin, inspiring some criticism and mockery from media. "If you want me to say that marijuana's not dangerous, I'm not going to say that because I think it is," Rosenberg said last week, according to US News's Steven Nelson. "Do I think it's as dangerous as heroin? Probably not. I'm not an expert."...
