[OttawaGreen]

Great man! So bugs are totally gone?

 

[Bearswhowalk]

they seem to be but still spraying once a week for prevenitive

 

[OttawaGreen]

Good plan! Bugs are a pain in the ass.

 

[Bearswhowalk]

did something the other day i hope i didn't fuck things up i thought ( in my crs) of hearing of taking tall stems and bending them till you "feel" them snap i did that to all the tall stuff

 

[OttawaGreen]

Nothing wrong with a little HST, i do that for first 2-3 weeks of bloom to reduce stretch

 

[B A R]

Nothing wrong with a little HST,

Not at all Bear.

 

[Bearswhowalk]

geez I am just a study in what not to do. wasnt thinking mixed a gallon and nute and poured into the tote I am using for drainage and took rag and wiped down the bottom of tote ( adding 9 weeks worth of nute drainage and build up in bottom). Talk about major root burn am tring so hard to flush her and keep her alive had to put her in bathroom and "steam" here for 30 min her leaves were so dry and had just watered and did the same thing yesterday. Am I gonna stop making stupid mistakes? Still waitting for room mate to get back so she can take some pics for me with her digital

 

[OttawaGreen]

Shit that's too bad... Good luck getting her back to normal. Dont worry you will get it figured out. We all made lots of mistakes when we were new and still make some now. Lessons like that can be hard but you learn a lot from them.

What about putting the plants in the shower for a while to flush them. As long as shower flow is gentle, don't use the massage setting ;-)

 

[OttawaGreen]

Also once you are done showering it put it back in Grow room and leave it alone. Do not take off any leaves no matter how bad they look. The plant can leach water and nutrients from those leaves and use it for recovery and it will dry up and drop the leaves on its own. Take them now because they are ugly and the plant can't use them up for recovery. Just give plain 6.5 ph water from now on.

Bears, water only soil mixes are available, and would make things easier. I hate to see people lose plants. KIS Organics in Redmond has two, one with biochar, one without.

Worrying about medium and feeds is something I can't do.
