Afgoo - First Time Seed Grow

So that's what you sound like :ciao:

LOL were you expecting an accent??? LOL thats how i sound!! you got me laughin as soon as I read that!!! LOL

:peacetwo:



hello howdy high i dont know what the last pic is but if left to its own it will lay eggs at the top or at the top flower then tiny little red catipiler looking things will bore into the very top stem or bud sorry i dont know what its name is but neem oil neem oil neem oil that took care of my prob with those little pests :bong: peace

Whats good FG!!!
Yea they are thripes!! I did major research on them!!! although all the money I have is going to getting my oldest child ready for her first year and day of school and the all NEW grow op I have going on in sponsorship with Blue Planet Nutrients, I dont have the funds to get any of the Neem Oil, so I have just been going out to the garden and finding these little buggers and smashing them to the end of their life!!! not many of them!!! so far since that post I have found 4, so i think I have them under control!!! the SM on the other hand, is still a problem!!! but I am starting to think that the Afgoo strain is really strong against pests, they are not multiplying like they usually do, but i also hunt them out and smash them too!!! Thanks for the advice though!!! hope to see more of you here and in the new journal, its in the sig!!!

Hey Aston...
What be happening my good man...

Bugs have been a sad topic lately...
In cases like you have in the veg state you have more options than in the flowering state. In either case I always try to take the safe mild approach.
The first approach I would use the neem with 1/2 oz of dish soap (non bleach, non scented) every 5-7 days.. This doesn't kill the bugs, but it is a deterent and they hate the stuff. Now they do sell just a soap mixture that you can try that is usually sold everywhere by Safe.

They also make it by other manufacturers like this one.. This is like 5 bucks... Or you can search the net and they have instructions for making your own..

If that doesn't work then you need to raise some money by mowing lawns, open up a kool-aid stand or something :) to buy some AzaMax or AzaTrol.... This stuff is nice cause it is OMRI Listed and apparantly is safe. You can spray up to the day of harvest.
I'm not sure whether it drops THC count in buds though, but yours are not flowering anyway. Not to mention if they were the THC count would probably be even less if the bugs and mites nearly kill your plant..

I am just started using for my bug problem... so far so good.
I also picked up a very kewl little sprayer. The nice thing about it is it has a nozzle that swivels allowing you to get right up under the leaves.. It is a neccessity when having to treat them. I tried all the other types and they really suck.

Here is a killer sprayer by Solo that I picked up (their 2 liter model).
It atomizes very nicely.

I will keep you up on my bug battle and pass on any tips that I can...
One thing I can say about bugs...is they SUCK! (literally) Especially the mites..

:peace: My brotha
 
so I went out to the garden this morning, and on one of the flowering spots, the mites have now made a web!!! damn SM!!! this weekend im thinking of pickin me up some Azamax like Dbudman suggested!! I dont have time to wait on the shipping for the liquid ladybug stuff to get here!!! so yea thats where the ladies stand!!! gotta get them out of there!!! they didnt read the no trespassing sign!!! so its time for an eviction!!!

:peacetwo:
 
so the ladies are starting to preflower, all of the calyx's are showing out like crazy now, but I have a question for you all!?!?!? now that she is preflowering, when do I switch to flowering nutes??? do I go straight into flowering full force nutes, or do I start off like I did with the veg? 1/4 then 1/2 and so on??? answers will be greatly appreciated!!! thanks

:peacetwo:
 
Good choice my brotha...
You want to act fast. The mights eggs hatch every 3 days I believe.
Azamax typically recommends treating every 7-10 days. But, for me I am using this schedule...

- Mix 5ml Azamax with 32oz water (shake well)
- Treat thoroughly in the evening just as sun stops shining on plant
(Spray lower and upper leaves good)
- After 3 days, treat again
- After 5 days treat (for 2 weeks)
- Pullback to every 7 days and treat up to harvest time

So far so good with mine.. I haven't had any adverse affects and my plants still look nice and healthy. I was lucky to treat mine during the first sign of attack. I believe I caught mine early before any serious infestation.

On a positive note I checked my tap water today and was happy to see it was 6.5 right out of the tap. I guess this is one reason I have always had good success with plants here.

Good luck to you Aston.. I think you will be fine with the Azamax.
Oh, and the cost for a 4oz bottle was 23.00 here at my local hydroponics store.

The answer to that question I would say depends on the interval of feeding you have been using and how your plants have been responding to the VEG nutes.

Let say you were running a 30 day feeding interval and applied your VEG feed 15 days ago. You noticed they have been flowering for 2 weeks and have been about 2 weeks into your first veg feeding. At that stage I would just wait until your next 15 days and then at that time switch to a full Bloom Feed (again depending on your plants nutrient absorbtion requirements).

For me, my plants seem to be taking in the full spectrum so I just started feeding mine a 10-30-20 of which I will be using every 15 days until harvest. Outside of the mite issue, mine have been responding very well so far with my nutrient regimen.

:peace:

BP,
Yes, they are a huge pain in the (_|_).
The nice benefits to Azamax are....

- It controls pests through starvation and growth disruption
- OMRI listed and licensed in 50 states
- Controls effectively spider mites, thrips, fungus gnats, aphids, whitefl ies, leaf miners, worms, beetles, leafhoppers, scales, mealy bugs, nematodes and other soil borne pests.
- harmless to predatory and parasitic beneficial insects
- Leaves no harmful residue

MODE OF ACTION:
AzaMax® Botanical Insecticide, Miticide, and Nematicide controls
target pests on contact or by ingestion. The product acts on pests
by way of repellence, anti-feedance, and interference with the
molting process.
Azadirachtin, an insect growth regulator (IGR), mimics the pests'
hormones and disrupts distinct stages of growth and development of
insects and mites. The primary mode of action of azadirachtin is an
interference with synthesis and metabolism of ecdysone and the
juvenile hormone. Ecdysone is the molting hormone of insects,
and azadirachtin can regulate growth leading to death before or
during molting.
AzaMax® will provide control results comparable to the synthetic
insecticide standards. AzaMax® provides broad spectrum control with
very low environmental impact. AzaMax® provides all the benefits of
azadirachtin, a proven anti-feedant, insect growth regulator (IGR),
anti-ovipository, and repellant, as well as a toxin to soft bodied insect
larvae.
The active ingredient in AzaMax® - Azadirachtin — is a unique botanical
insecticide, miticide and nematicide.
SPECIMEN
LABEL
— 3 —
Mode of Action:
Control of different orders of insects or insects
in different phases of their life cycle is due to
the complexity of the azadirachtin molecule
and the many modes of action inherent in
azadirachtin.
Anti-Feedant
Insect Growth Regulator (IGR)
Anti-ovipository
Repellant
Insects feed less or not at all on treated plants. Foliage is
not damaged and insects ultimately starve to death.
Insects fail to mature and reproduce, eliminating
populations over time.
Insects do not lay eggs on treated plants. The likelihood of
insect infestation is greatly decreased in treated plants.
This adds a preventive aspect to your insect control.
Insects do not prefer treated plants.

AzaMax® has been evaluated for phytotoxicity on a wide range of ornamentals
and garden plants. However, since testing on all plant varieties
is not feasible, test a small portion of the area to be treated for phytotoxicity
before treating the entire area.
There are no restrictions on applying AzaMax® up to the time of
harvest.
SPRAY PREPARATION
AzaMax® is an emulsifiable concentrate to be diluted with water.
This product forms an emulsion and will separate upon extended or
prolonged standing. Re-agitate to assure uniformity of the spray
mixture.
Prepare only the volume needed for the intended application, and
use the spray mixture within 24 hours of preparation.
TANK MIXTURES
AzaMax® is an emulsifiable concentrate and is compatible with
commonly used pesticides and fertilizers. Always check the physical
compatibility using a jar test in the correct proportions if needed.
If a broader spectrum of control is required tank-mix AzaMax® with
insecticides or miticides. If a rapid knockdown of heavy populations is
necessary, then include an effective contact insecticide/miticide in
combination with AzaMax®.
Always read and follow the directions for use, precautions and
limitations for use on all product labels used in combination.
Applications must follow the precautions and limitations of the most
restrictive product label in the mixture. Do not exceed the dosage rates
of any product.
Select the right companion products:
IPM uses a variety of control options including biological, chemical, and
cultural practices. AzaMax® is botanical with growth regulator effect
on insects and mites. Companion products include pyrethroids,
spinosyns, microbial toxins, and chloronicotinyls that complement
azadirachtin. Formulations of bifenthrin, spinosad, abamectins, and
imidacloprid are effective for different pests. Select the product that
has been proven to provide adequate performance for the pests you
are trying to control.
Physical Incompatibility
Do not use AzaMax® with Captan, Bordeaux mixture, triphenyltin
hydroxide, lime sulfur, Rayplex iron or other highly alkaline materials as
they can cause phytotoxicity and/or reduced efficacy on some
target pests. Phytotoxicity will occur if tank-mix combinations
with compounds known to be incompatible with oil-based formulations
are used.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Apply AzaMax® with hand-operated (manual) or power spray equipment
suitable for low volume and/or high volume applications. Follow
the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer when using
backpack sprayers, hose-end sprayers, compression (pump-up)
sprayers, and other sprayers suitable for foliar applications of
insecticides.
APPLICATION SCHEDULE
For the most effective control, apply AzaMax® when pests are
expected to appear or as soon as possible after pests appear and are
in immature stages. Spray at an interval of seven (7) to ten (10) days
or as the situation warrants.
During high pest infestation levels or when canopy is dense use higher
dosage (use) rates and increase the spray frequency. For best results,
spray in the morning or evening hours. Repeat spraying if rain occurs
within two to three hours of spraying. For additional guidance,
consult with your state agricultural experiment station or local extension
hor ticulturalist/arborist for information on tactics and windows
of application.

DRENCH APPLICATION
Use AzaMax® as a soil drench for effective control of soil-borne insect larvae, including soil-borne larvae of foliar pests, such as fungus gnats,
nematodes, or soil borne thrips. When applying as a drench, avoid excessive leaching.
Preventive applications as a soil drench may be warranted for certain pests. Soil drench applications of azadirachtin will have a slower rate of activity
because of soil absorption when compared to foliar applications of AzaMax®. Target the initial application of a soil drench treatment to coincide with
the early stages of young larvae and young nymphs.
Dilute AzaMax® with water for concentrations of 0.4 to 0.8% volume/volume. See use rate table below. Add the required amount of AzaMax® to a
clean bucket with at least one-half of the water to be drenched. Agitate the mixture thoroughly and then fill with the remaining water and continue
agitation until the product is thoroughly dispersed.
Drench the soil in the pot with one (1) pint of finished product dilution per 1.0 gallon of soil. For fungus gnats, use the 0.4% spray concentration. For
mushroom fly maggot control, use the 0.6% volume/volume spray concentration. For leafminers and other difficult to control pests, use the 0.8%
volume/volume spray concentration. Make two to three (2 — 3) applications at 10 —14 day intervals until pest pressure has ended. With high insect
pressure make applications every 5 to 6 days. Additional applications of AzaMax® may be required with increased and prolonged pest infestation.

RECIRCULATORY, AEROPONIC, AND HYDROPONIC APPLICATION
Use AzaMax® in recirculatory, aeroponic, or hydroponic systems for the control of foliar pests, soil borne insect larvae, including soil borne larvae of
foliar pests such as fungus gnats, nematodes or soil borne thrips for interiorscapes, hydroponic, aeroponic and container plants.
Dilute AzaMax® with water for concentrations of 0.1% to 0.8% volume/volume in a recirculatory or in a hydroponic liquid system. See use rate table
below. Agitate the mixture thoroughly until the product is thoroughly dispersed.
For fungus gnats, use the 0.6% volume/volume concentration. For mushroom fly maggot control, use the 0.6% volume/volume concentration. For
leafminers and other difficult to control pests, use the 0.8% volume/volume concentration. Make two to three (2-3) applications at 10-14 day intervals
until the pest pressure has ended. With high insect pressure applications make applications every 5 to 7 days. Additional applications of AzaMax®
may be required with increased and prolonged pest infestation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AzaMax® Botantical Insecticide, Miticide, & Nematicide will provide
control results comparable to the synthetic insecticide standards.
AzaMax® provides broad spectrum control with very low environmental
impact. AzaMax® provides all the benefits of azadirachtin, a proven antifeedant,
insect growth regulator (IGR), anti-ovipository, and repellant, as
well as a toxin to soft bodied insect larvae.
The active ingredient in AzaMax® - Azadirachtin — is a unique botanical
insecticide, miticide and nematicide.
Mode of Action:
Control of different orders of insects or insects in different phases of
their life cycle is due to the complexity of the azadirachtin molecule
and the many modes of action inherent in azadirachtin.
Anti-Feedant
Insect Growth
Regulator (IGR)
Anti-ovipository
Repellant
Insects feed less or not at all on treated
plants. Foliage is not damaged and
insects ultimately starve to death.
Insects fail to mature and reproduce,
eliminating populations over time.
Insects do not lay eggs on treated plants.
The likelihood of insect infestation is
greatly decreased in treated plants. This
adds a preventive aspect to your insect
control.
Insects do not prefer treated plants.

Instructions for Using Single Dose Sprayer System How to Use: (cont.)
Single Dose Delivery Vial —
2.5 milliliters (0.084 fluid ounce or 1/6 Tbs.)
AzaMax® Single Dose Sprayer System*
Remove access cap from Single Dose Sprayer bottle.
Fill sprayer bottle with 16 ounces of tap water
(see fill line on bottle).
Open box that contains the Single Dose Delivery Vials.
Remove a Single Dose Delivery Vial.
Pour contents of the Vial into the sprayer bottle through
the access opening. Replace access cap on the Single
Dose Sprayer bottle
Shake sprayer bottle vigorously for 20 seconds or
until product is thoroughly dispersed.
Apply Product Spray Solution.
*Patent Pending — Single Dose Delivery Vials can be purchased separately.
For the most effective control, spray AzaMax® as soon as possible
after pests appear and are in the immature stages. Spray at an interval
of seven to ten days or as the situation warrants. During high pest
infestation levels increase the spray frequency. Apply AzaMax® so as to
thoroughly cover both sides of the foliage. Foliar applications offer
locally systemic activity against insect pests. Repeat spraying if rain
occurs within two to three hours of spraying. AzaMax® can be applied
as directed to any food or non-food plant up to and including the day of
harvest.
An application of AzaMax® does not provide the quick "knock-down" of
a contact poison. Usage experience has shown that with three treatments
over a period of 21 to 30 days (spray every 7 to 10 days), pest
control is comparable to the synthetic insecticide "standards". If
AzaMax® is used as a preventative treatment throughout the season,
prior to insect infestation, the goal of protecting your plants will be
accomplished. With high insect pressure applications should be made
every 5 to 7 days. Additional applications of AzaMax® may be required
with increased and prolonged pest infestation.
Hold Sprayer about 12 inches from foliage
Spray leaves, stems, and tender new shoots.
To obtain good insect & mite control, spray both
upper & lower surface of leaves. Apply spray until
leaves are evenly coated but not to run off.
The spray mixture should be used within
24 hours of preparation. Any un-used solution
can be drenched over the base of the plants —
please refer to the drench application section
of this label.
DRENCH APPLICATION FOR INDOOR AND
OUTDOOR PLANTS GROWN IN CONTAINERS
Use AzaMax® as a soil drench for effective control of soil-borne insect
larvae, including soil-borne larvae of foliar pests, such as fungus gnats,
nematodes, or soil borne thrips. When applying as a drench, avoid
excessive leaching.
Preventive applications as a soil drench may be warranted for certain
pests. Soil drench applications of AzaMax® will have a slower rate of
activity because of soil absorption when compared to foliar applications
methods. Target the initial application of a soil drench treatment to
coincide with the early stages of young larvae and young nymphs.
Drench the soil in the pot with one (1) pint of finished spray per
1.0 gallon of soil. Make two to three (2-3) applications at 10 to 14 day
intervals until the pest pressure has ended.

BP,
Yes, they are a huge pain in the (_|_).
The nice benefits to Azamax are....

- It controls pests through starvation and growth disruption
- OMRI listed and licensed in 50 states
- Controls effectively spider mites, thrips, fungus gnats, aphids, whitefl ies, leaf miners, worms, beetles, leafhoppers, scales, mealy bugs, nematodes and other soil borne pests.
- harmless to predatory and parasitic beneficial insects
- Leaves no harmful residue
- Can be applied up to the day of harvest

Sorry, I sound like a salesman...haha
Just happy they have a product that is safe and can be used effectively without the harmful effects like most pesticides out there.

:peace:

Thanks Debudman. after speaking with my buddy, we have come to the conclusion that nothing can beat neem oil but you should not use neem oil on plants once they start to flower. I think the Azamax might be perfect for flowering plants....just my .02 :bong:
 
Hey BP..
Actually AzaMax's main ingredient is extracted from neem.
From my experience Neem is best used as a deterent. You begin spraying neem on your plants early before they contract any bugs. If sprayed weekly it works as a great deterent to keep bugs away. In a case though where one already has a near or full infestation, the best defense is something more affective towards combating these beasts. This is where the Azamax product comes in. There are other things even more effective, but then you step into the toxidity arena where you want to avoid.

LOL, I checked in really quickly in between classes, and i noticed you 2 were having a convo without me, so i threw a good read for the both of you, and anyone that wanted to know more about this stuff!!! LOL!!! your not takin this one over like you did with the end of the WW Journal!!! LOL

@EVERYBODY!!
I now have 3 classes of 5 down for the week, just took a math test!!! man I think I forgot some stuff, anyways, lol I will be doing a Afgoo update in a bit, its feeding day today so I will be getting some snaps!!! not to mention, the clones come home tomorrow, and now after some insight from CV, I have to make a new strategy!!! it will be in the other journal!!! see you all soon!!!

:peacetwo:
 
Well I gave my ladies another Azamax spraying today.. I am providing a frequent spray regimin to rid the bastards and then will back off to once a week.

I PH'd my tap water and was happy to see a nice 6.5/6.8 reading. It is nice to have good water from the get go.

Found my roses had powdery mildew. I can't seem to win.. Always something.
I sprayed them with some Ortho stuff that treats bugs and powdery mildew.
I aslo found a nice organic mix that seems to work. I never had it on my Cannabis (knock on wood), but I suppose it would work for that too.

Ingredients:
-1 gallon of water
-1 tablespoon of baking soda
-1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
-1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid

Mix the ingredients together and add them to a spray bottle. Spray your plants weekly, preferably on overcast days to prevent it from burning the foliage.

Oh, and an update on my sole survivor clone. It has now started growing and may be able to squeeze a few feet out of it. My white widow clone should be ready to take home this weekend. I wish I had my indoor grow setup together.
I'll be keeping an eye on yours Aston to see how yours goes..

:peace: My bruthas
