I've got my new bulb. raft/hijack journal

now if only i could kill these mites. i'm ready to flower. i need to do a couple hours work to the room then it's go time. the mites are still everywhere but i've got a few more things to try. they must be in my veg area. down in the cracks and what-not. i'm going to flower this group then tear everything down and start over.

what bulb did you get ?

sorry.

i will be flowering under a 600w HPS in a 3 X 3 foot room. i was going to get a new 6" inline fan but the shelf at the hydro store were bare. no panda plastic either. i have some mylar laying around. i'm in MIRACLE GROW soil. i have 13 females and 1 male. i will be seeding 1 of the females with the male. 9 of these cuttings were a branch that broke off of one of my outdoor plants a few months ago. it was 1 branch that i cut into 9 pieces. hopefully tomorrow i will get my chores done and have things up and running.

ack

note the "breeding" reference and the "accidental" clones. i didn't mean to. i just wanted a few beans. i hope to pull an lb. that's my goal on this grow. i think i could do it no problem if it weren't for the mites. last time i flowered in this room the mites won.

sorry.....

what manufacture ? and i love my 600hps/mh digi with air cooled hood.

you didn't say what strain... might i enquire as to what branch you culled the clones from?


you gonna try anything new for the mites this time?
predator mites?

AS far as those damn knats. I read that a small cup of wine vinegar with a few drops of Dawn dish soap stirred into it will attract and kill. I have been doing it and am happy with the results. They are nasty wankers to get rid of for sure.

hortilux bulb, ballast and hood i bought last year. all top dollar. not digital though.

strains are:

9 - raft F1
1 - juicy (?) gifted seed stock
3 - female hijack F1
1 - male hijack F1

i will be seeding the hijack with the hijack to produce F2's.


i've got avid, bug-busters, neem oil, and some dish soap. gonna mix up a potion. it will either kill the mites or the plants. strongest survive.

somethings gotta kill them shits...

are you planning on flowering in those tiny pots?

i don't know. i have new pots and soil but i pulled one out of the pot today and it just has a nice thin layer of hairy roots at the bottom. i may put them in bigger pots and veg for a week or 2 under the HPS before going 12/12. just so i don't have to water twice a day and also so they don't fall over. they're gonna get top heavy.

.... you should try ScrOG


... just for the hell of it =p

it would be easy enough to throw up a screen.

i'm serious...

this may be a stupid Q fdd, but have you tried lady bugs and neem oil? ive only had to use that combo once, and it worked perfectly. outside of that, i dont know what to tell you

speaking of scrog, i can help out with that. been doing it with fim in dwc 20 gal for a while now. i get on average 1-2 lb. per plant

Per plant? How big do you grow your plants?

you'd be surprised. but usually only about 3 feet tall. the width and fim teq is what brings home the bacon.

is scrog s.o.g., and what is a screen?.... someone told me to use it in another post.

i have no problems filling my canopy......


last winter....



i do see room for filling in though. maybe a screen is what i need.
