@Grand Daddy Black here oh @ChronicTrees they also have some fly that takes care of white flies house flies I assume mantis catch them as well but each but has a wide variety then some are specific to one like wasp for caterpillars

Yeah, an organic Terpinator. The mint/lemons will definitely give them that strong lemony/minty odor. As for the bananas, I’m sure It will give them a banana odor aswell. Going to purchase 20 bananas, 30 lemons, and go Inti my backyard, and pick out a bunch of mint leaves. I have plenty In my backyard... they are all over!!

I see. I would love to have a few preying mantis In my garden, just to have them. Always liked them. Would be a great addition..!
Are stick bugs the same ? Or same familyI see. I would love to have a few preying mantis In my garden, just to have them. Always liked them. Would be a great addition..!
U have wild mint in ur yard? No I meant like purp or terpinator are they organic? There's companies that make a flushing agent that's sour apple raspberry pine apples. But someone old school showed me if u go to a baking supply store where you can get like vanilla extract or banana extract there's one brand that makes over 200 flavors forgot which is stronger extract or concentrate I don't think it was called concentrate but something else I know ones stronger but it's hoe people cheat and give their bud boosted flavors the one video I saw about it was egg nog weird as it sounds everyone went crazy for it unknowing it was added and not s natural terp. Now sure if u would get the same effect like @Emilya said the bananas going to break down in compost and turn into just sugars/carbs as well as the other thing you mentioned the mint may be the only thing that will carry through but don't think flavors of the fruit will. Back in the day I used to have a buddy that would spray his bud with something called tasty Puff and it was like some decent Bud nice fluffy sticky and he would spray it withStrawberry and call it strawberry Haze and then tax you 20% on top of it and then I think he did blueberry and then if you did it with like a blueberry Philly I mean it tasted great until the difference but we were also young and dumb and didn't know the difference

I believe stick bugs are from a different family, even though they may look a bit similar. Makes me think of crickets, grasshoppers. They look soooo similar, yet they are not the same. Same goes for wasps, and bees.

Yes, Purpinator, and Terpinator are both organic, and yes, I have wild mint leaves all throughout my garden.. had them for years really. It’s also a very strong mint. I grab some every once In awhile, and chew on them. I have about 100 mint plants through the whole garden. I also have them growing alongside my girls.
Clover is what I've read/heard one are the best cover crops it actually draws up and he toxic metals or stuff in the in the ground and spits out nitrogen for your plant and if I had that correct something along those lines I know it spits out nitrogen that your plant is unable to consume I heard planting after corn as well does a phenomenal job for outdoor organics I've seen people do indoor raised bed gardens with blue mat and they would basically in a 4x2 only keep two plants so as you cut one down you leave it there the rise of fear all those beneficials will stay there and then transfer over to the next root system and basically within 2 weeks that first RuPaul has already been broken down and transferred over you'll pull out just a stick

Ok, that seems very beneficial. Sounds like a great way to keep nutrients In the ground. May try that out some grow.
As for the mint leaves. they are extremely anti bacterial, for humans at least. I’m very sure the antibacterial benefits will pass over to the marijuana plant, meaning a healthier plant overall. It may help with numerous things. Such as root, leaf, and bud health. I’ll do some research about mint leaves, and plant health/benefits. Sounds like a experiment I should definitely try out. I have fish oil In mind aswell. Things such as fishmeal works wonders for marijuana. So a combination of fish meal, and fish oil should help out my girls immensely.

Veg, Day 14
Tonight I got all caught up and properly watered the girls to runoff. The wet/dry cycle clock starts again in these larger containers and I would bet that we are again looking at a 5 day wet/dry cycle. In 3 days, I will water around the edges with just a small amount of water, just to entice the roots to grow laterally toward the edges. Since I have just transplanted and included a tablespoon of Geoflora Veg in the container build, I am going to hold off on the first top dressing of Geoflora that was scheduled for today, until the next full watering.
Nothing else has been done yet either. We still need to top the room between node 4 and 5, but I want to wait until the roots are all settled in. I also will be applying nematodes as a preventative against aphids since I still have not identified the point they are getting into the grow. We also are still actively fighting the fungus gnats and we are winning. While a few were noticed as I watered this evening, they all were flying at half speed and with a stutter. We will keep on them until they are gone. Tomorrow morning I am going to apply some diatomaceous earth to the just watered soil too... they don't have a chance.
I haven't talked about her yet, but there is a runt in the room. This runt is suffering from something and I have been watching her as if she is the canary in the gold mine, trying to diagnose her problem. I think it is possible that the aphids are coming in via one of my soils and that there are pockets of them somewhere... and that this runt with the twisted leaves got a load of them. If this is what is happening, they would eventually migrate out of the plant they had come in on and infect the rest of the room, and this would explain the problems being had on every grow lately. I have my full attention on this problem, and I am confident that I am going to win the battle on this run. We will be treating with nematodes this weekend too, and we will be disinfecting the bloom room since it is now as empty as it is ever going to be with just 6 plants running at the moment. Everyone is going to be treated by the end of the weekend.

Veg, Day 15
Everyone looks good today after the uppotting, and our poor runt seems to be getting a little better too. I am still watching her to see a drastic improvement of the symptoms so I know what it is that fixed it. Today the only thing that will be happening to the girls is my war like application of diatomaceous earth. The fungus gnats hiding on the surface of the soil in many of the plants did not like this at all. Many of them took flight with a desperate look on their tiny faces... knowing that their end is coming. We have a yellow sticky card and poison in the air for the flyers, and if they try to land, their tiny toes get shredded by the razor like DE. In the days leading to the next watering, no one will be laying eggs. The larvae already in the soil are being attacked by the double mosquito dunk water they were just given, and if any larvae make it to flyer stage, they have to come up through the razor blades... they are doomed. Monday night we will come along with a light watering with a strong application of nematodes specializing in aphid elimination in all the grow rooms, after a good scrubbing of the walls and floors with bleach water in all the grow rooms. If hard work and effort (and a little science) can get rid of these bugs, we should be in good shape from here on out.

Ok. I would try revive for the Runtz.. that should help massively. Bounces back wiliting/limping leaves, plus will help with the yellowing of the leaves. As for all the other girls, such a great looking bunch. Really want to see when these girls start to bloom. Looks like this grow Is going to be a winner!Veg, Day 15

Around when will you transplant all those girls Into larger pots? I would like to know, so I have a good idea for my grow when to transplant Into larger pots aswell!Veg, Day 14

Thanks! Revive is for plants that have an unknown deficiency, so you can sort of take a shotgun approach to fixing a problem. There are no deficiencies here... this plant has everything it could possibly need in that soil, just as the neighboring plants do. There is no wilting and no discoloration of the leaves. Other than some odd twisting and slow growth, there are no indications of deficiencies. This makes me think that it is a root thing... something is attacking the roots. As below, so above... and the leaves are trying to show us what is happening. Its more of a cringe that is going on here... and I think it indicates physical damage.

When the plants can drain the water from these 1 gallon containers the first time in 36 hours or less... then and only then will I uppot. The plants need to show me that their root system has filled this space and I suspect that this will happen in 2 more weeks.
Is there an example in pics here showing the up potting? I started mine in too small pots and will need to go up, but I not sure of the best way.

I didn't take pictures of the process but I described the building of the cups when I started this grow, and I did pretty much the same thing in building these 1 gallon containers, except I put an empty solo cup in the middle and built the soil around it. Water that soil lightly so that when you remove the cup, a solo cup shaped hole remains. Then when moving a plant, it is as easy as pressing around the sides of the original cup enough to loosen the rootball, turning it upside down and slipping it out of there, and then neatly plopping it down in the perfectly made hole for it. Then, it is best to water the new container and its new plant to runoff, so as to merge the various soil regions. I am sure that others have perfectly explained how to do this, with pictures, elsewhere on this forum.
That describes it perfectly. Thanks!
