    Good morning @Tin1017 :ciao: use the Belem with just plain water.
    @Rexer :ciao: do you know who to order mosquito dunks from?
    It's possible the girl in the bigger pot never got her root ball grown properly?
    She is stunted because of it?
    Just a guess.
    Roots are still growing even in 2nd week of flower.
    The plant will stretch until the 3rd week of flower then growth slows right down.
    Post a pic in my purple pics thread if you haven't already.
    Let's see what your talking about.
    Hope your having a great day my friend.

    Amazon has them, and also within Canada, indoorgrowingcanada usually carries them. That's the only two places that jumps to mind (I've never bought any)
    Hi Bill, I looked for mosquito bits everywhere but without success.
    I found a product called “Belem” that has cypermethrin and is supposed to kill larvae without hurting my plants.
    I’ve noticed that my plants in 20L buckets are smaller than the 8-10L ones, which makes me wonder.
    I gotta feed them nutes soon, maybe in a day or two and was wondering how to do it since I gotta give them nutes and also some of this “Belem” product that contains cypermethrin.
    I guess mixing it with the nutes is not advised lol

    Can my roots still expand eventhough my plants are in week 2-3 in flower?
    They look quite small almost like dwarves.. the 10L plants are way bigger
    Wonder if they stopped growing forever or if there is still a chance
    Thanks Bill and Sorry about your mites..
    hey bill hope all is well , I posted in purple pics asking about the Epsom salt spray and epsom salt in genral as far as the uses I did do a 3x flush on both plants I had a phosphorous overdose and cause a cal-mag issue again I flushed 2 days ago Buit I still see the signs I assume it has to run its course Thats why I ask about the Epsom salt would you give me an Idea on how to mix the epsom salt spraY to treat 2 - 5 gal pots I hope Im not being pushy I didn't know just how much you do till I started on purple pics you are a hero to a lot of people including myself * onm a side note do they have a chat feature on this site? and if I put @Bill284 does that tell you someone is talking about you?

    Hey Bill, its getting really hot out here.
    My tent temps are 26-27 lights off, 30-32 with lights on. Rh usually around 50-55%
    Room temp is 28 degrees upstairs, downstairs is much cooler 18-20.
    Do you think its worth it to spend 5+ hours fixing the tent downstairs, or am i better off by just leaving them upstairs where they are to avoid stressing them too much?
    I wouldn’t mind doing it if it will be beneficial. Do you think 30+ degrees are too high for the last 2 weeks of flowering? Downstairs i could get it down to 25-27 probably?
    Thanks Bill. Hope you are ok

    Good morning Tin. :ciao:
    Final couple weeks of flowering is vital to bud development.
    Over 26c I find is detrimental at that point of development.
    24 c would be better.
    Hot temps tend to produce fluffy, airy buds.
    For hard nugs a bit cooler temps would be beneficial.
    Hope your having a great day my friend.

    so Im guessing you are putting the finishing touches on your greenhouse l.ook forward to seeing it man you just now can sleep with the windows ope? but you do live in the Great white north I just wanted top let you know I think I had a come to Jesus moment. tellk me if I am wrong

    Plant /weeds in nature have a protection that blocks the plant from taking to much of anything that will cause harm what we call nute lockout rain and other forces of nature will take care of it to balance whatever it needs allowing the plant/weed to eat again
    We dont have storm clouds in the tent that's why we flush them also after reading about removing the leaves in terms I understand it is l;like scratching poison ivy sores the more ya pick the more theyu spread

    I believe Verbalist Nailed my issue apparently he has had the same issue with Gorilla glue he said they are temperamental to Phosphorous and I have been drowning my Plants in Phosphorous the fox farm solubles are well over 50 on the npk numbers and tiger bloom and purpinator are sources of Phosphorous that caused a lockout and the signs of a calmag issue is due to the overdose of Phosphorous causing lockout so tomorrow morning I am flushing both plants and on the next feed cut out the fox farm solubles. after the flush I want to ad a gallon mix of sledgehammer flush and wait for it to dry out and commence growing buds. have a good weekend Illk, try to leave ya alone til I see pic of your Greenhouse

    hey bud I'm not sure I can post this link on the forum and I would appreciate your thoughts. I used these when i did remodeling and repair and would use it to check moisture damage I never thought of it till a buddy mentioned it. what confuses me is the drying percentage. Im probably having overkill But I am really unhappy with myself and that one batch smelling like hay for 6 weeks now .I realize I overcame a lot of issues on that grow. and you taught me so much.and I want this next grow to be better so far it is . and I want to make sure I don't blow it in the clinch this time Article for moisture

    hey bud hope all is well
    Im still having issues with that 1 plant it is a cal/mag deficiency by what I can tell I feed them last night for the first time after the sledge hammer flush 4 days Prior I did a watering with cal-mag + I am noticing small signs of the problem on new growth since I have been going by the book and water/feeding like recommended I dont belive it is lockout it doesnt look or act like lockout (but what do I know) I realize what I do today will start showing signs in a few days to a week in most cases il be 2-3 days before my next watering I am going to wait things are not showing signs of improvement I am planning on doing a normal flush to the troubled plant and just watering the gorilla glue that is right next to it I have fed and water Identically and the gorilla glue is flourishing but the gelato isnt. both are in full flower now . is tyhis the action you would recommend? I was feeling confident with how much I have learned But I really appreciate your feedback
    Thank you My friend have a great weekend :thumb:

    Just do a proper 3x pot flush on the problem child then let dry then feed full strength at 6.3.
    What def is she showing?
    Here is is.
    ok am IO in purple pic? I hope so

    OBill wan Kenobi II kind a like OBILL WEED KONOBI Jedi Ganga Master
    ok to the pointwuould you min d looking over my scrog these are autos have at a minimum 30-40 days left I think On the left is My Gelato that got Cal, def or mag or nitro any way the cal-mag + seems to have taken care of it But I lost a lot of leaves. first off this started about a week before it showed signs? Right?
    on the left isd my gorilla glue beatiful nothing wrong quite the centerpiece (knock on wood) is there still enough time to still get

    first pic is Under the net still have a little under the net That is still getting good light I might clip a few more if they don't catch up

    the left has had bad leaves removed is there still time for this plant to bounce back 100% I have about 30-40 days min left according to Herbies

    I have a lot of already dense very nice colas forming I want them to get like my LST plants except with 2/3 more yeild
    how are these looking do you see anything Im missing ? I just added my 2 gelato seedlings and I hope that will be the end of my scrog training and Ill start my Photo Granddaddy purple Banner from weed-seeds seed bank,m so Doc what is your diagnosis am I on track? I flushed them on Monday and I want to feed them so bad but the force in me is getting stronger I know they need at least another day or two before I feed them (I get off when you get that growth burst the next day after feeding. anyway Not am I only working on my weedsmithing I am starting to learn patience

    The only thing that I would say is stop removing leaves.
    Don't care if they are damaged.
    Unless there is peste Don't remove anything.
    Let them be until harvest and they will be fine.
    30 days is plenty time to finish building and fill out.
    They will be ok just keep feeding full strength alternating with water.
    Make sure to let them dry right out between watering.
    Hope everything is good good. :ciao:

    Dear friend from the Frozen Tundra How are you today ? nI have a question about fox farm sledgehammer flush

    OK aFTER MY LAST NUTE BURN I am doing everything I can to make sure it doesnt happen again. I usually use 1/2 gal for feed and water thats when I staRT TO GET RUNOFF (frickin caps)) FF says double it in other words double what I would water add 2 teaspoons SH poor and forget. I do not like that Idea SOME PRETTY RELIABLE AND kNOWLEDGABLE SOURCES WHO TAUGHT ME BETTER (Thx Bill and Em :adore::adore:) apparently sledgehammer contains Yucca which breakds down salt and frees up water/air flow. after using 1 gallon I am not feeling the love of this flush in about 2-3 days when its dry. so here is my altered plan. I am going to flush with lukewarm water between !0 -15 gallons per p[lant since I have a 5-gallon pot .after the normal flush I will add SH to a gallon of PH water flush per their instruction and then let it dry and resume feedinng and watering as needed Last time I thought I knew better than the scientist/Botnis at FF I had a nightmare. so I would like your opinion on this one . I am using a lot of nutes but by the book and a little less than recommended doses. so did anything I just wrote make any sense? and do you think it is a good idea to do a normal flush and then do the FF 1 gallon flush? Thanks again for everything and all the advice I have learned so much But I better not get cocky or ill have Brown drooping plants faster than ya can saY DUMB NOOB tHX IN ADVANCE MY FRIEND

    I know they are trying to sell sledgehammer as an easier way to flush, but I like your idea of doing a real flush before and then using the sledgehammer as directed. It is probably overkill, but I am a little old school and I have never even been tempted to buy the sledgehammer product, because I would rather do it normal way and know that I have properly flushed.

    @Bill284 and @Emilya . I started to respond last night to thank you guys for your thoughts on this flush But I forget to send it, lol and man did you guys dodge a bullet I got a bag of what my son called Blue lucid for my Birthday. and he know that Im a old man and I love a good Sativa well somehow when I was writing you both I got off on some rant about how awesome 420 mag was and how much the world has changed and how growing pot would fix everything a real hippie love peace rant. when I woke up I checked my inbox Cuz I'm thinking " man if they read that their gonna think I'm some wicked crazy man space kadet so you can imagine how relived I was when I found out I forget to send it. I dont drink so I was drunk. but I was so high and going a million miles an hour cleaning the house, sweeping my tent and all kinds of chores at 2 am I google the strain this morning effects were energy, creativity, good for pain ect and under the reviews a guy wrote "this bud gave me a high like I never felt before it is the weirdest high I ever smoked. I loved it Im an old stoner and I smoked a lot of diffrent pot but nothing except the old high-grade sativias got me even close to how high I was last night, any way if ya cant tell I just did a few B's so Im gonna say thank both of you very much for your help and advice.

    Hello, Bill.
    I am rly busy irl but wanted to ask you a quick question if u dont mind.
    My outside plants are moving alot the wind is kind of strong.
    I could leave them inside behind a glass but that means shorter sun time. Maybe 3-4 hours behind thr glass and if outside 7-8 hours but the wind is strong sometimes. Maybe I can tie them? Will that help. Thanks Bill. Hope you are ok

    Morning my friend from the land where Geddy Lee lives (big Rush Fan) I did as you recommended and re-read em's watering Guide and I noticed she added an addendum. and she talked about air pruning and smart pots needing water every other day. I am using those new Gro Pro warriors. I was worried because I knew overwatering was a problem in my last grow. believe me I heed your words. what I have learned is water when they water not when I want to water them. check out the pots I am using and will be doing a review on GRO PRO

    Is it part of a system?
    hey bud, how are things in the land of pissed truckers (I was rooting for em) I got 2 questions for ya
    first one I have been watering or feeding every other day I fill till I get run off an then next day they are fine following day I go down 2 in and Im dry as a bone If I wait for 3 days they start stressing so if they need it every other day I should stick with it right? I think it has a lot to do with those warrior air pots I'm using this time. does it sound like I am watering properly.

    next question Im using a scrog net for the first time and am keeping everything layed out now I have a picture here in the middle is 1 4 in square I have 4-5 sprouting in one square is that ok to have more than 1 cola/bud in one square?

    thanks bud you have a great day
    Bill284

    I don't think you are watering properly. :Namaste:
    There isn't enough time for air to get to the roots.
    The bottom roots will be mushy if you keep that up.
    Have you read Em,s thread on watering?
    You must let air into the pot.
    First net on the scrog I believe is more for spreading the garden out.
    Getting the girls to fill the outs edges of the tent.
    Then the second is more for bud placement I believe.
    Keep spreading them out.:thumb:

    hey bud hope ya had a good weekend, Im getting ready to go in and have all my teeth pulled tomorrow, getting old sucks. would you be able to give an idea of what's going on with this plant? I flushed about 3 weeks ago final flush before harvest haven't fed it anything but straight water Last week within 2 days most of the leaves turned yellow, I figured warning your close it was that pre-harvest color change and leave start dying but then it seems when the leave started to dry out instead of falling of it looked like they were burnt but I had just flushed a good flush now they are burnt down to the bud and Im clipping them to keep the dead leaves from getting into the bud here is a pic below. I really freaked out this weekend when I checked on my curing buds and they smelled like hay, you'll be proud of me I learned all about chorafil and how it will go away after they are finished curing in another 2 weeks. I let it dry is a closet without any air circulation but have already found a better way (I just thought of this I may have used about 1/3 miracle grow) is it possible that could cause it with their time-released nutes could that have caused it ? any way lemme know what ya thinbk

    Why would you stop feeding that girl.
    Please feed her she is starving.
    Flower nutrients asap.
    Never feed plain water.
    If you water correctly to run off each time, alternating feed, water, feed, water.
    With a good dry cycle in between you should only flush if you have a deficiency or your nutrient line calls for it.
    Then it's once 3x the size of the pot.
    Then dry then feed immediately.
    And feed until harvest.
    Don't starve her when she need nutrients the most.

    Sorry about you teeth Amigo.
    I have a root canal to finish Wednesday, fek.
    Good luck, they knocking you out?

    Do you have a journal on the go I can follow?
    If you feeding bottled nutrients in soil?
    After you added your nutrients to your water you set your ph to 6.3 exactly .
    This provides the maximum range for her to pickup nutrients.
    Don't worry about the soil ph.
    It will fluctuate as it needs to.
