I have a sulphur burner on standby for pests although they are a good preventative measure

Hotbox Sulfume Sulphur Vapouriser With Sulphur Powder

Excellent preventative measure against moulds and garden pests Clever design means that only sulphur vapour is released – no burning Best used in the dark period when garden extraction is switched off Can hold enough sulphur to last many night-time treatments Non-toxic to humans and does not...

Thx for the link JIm. There was only a few of the little black flies in the flower room, I guessing because it fully sealed and the inlet fan has filter screen.
It’s the makeshift veg section that’s a bigger problem. There’s a few of the little buggers in there.
 
Right here’s a few pictures of the ladies this morning.
It’s 14 days today that I flipped to 12-12. How do they look? Do you think the light is doing a good enough job?

Catch you ppl later BC
 
Considering you have 250w of light they are coming along nicely... you planing to add/upgrade lights later?
 
I’ve managed that on 156w...I’ve got 3 50w COB’s with drivers on board on each row, and I’m flowering these 2 GSC on just 1 row.

I will upgrade, I have the bits coming from abroad to finish my 2 row off, but I need to run as little electric as possible due to family restrictions 5 kids cost a fortune so my hobby funds tend to fluctuate lol
I’m just looking for the best way to get great bud for minimum spends.....well at least till I got rid of all the kids anyway . BC

Morning all you happy growers
Looks like I go a pest problem. Fungus gnats I think. Is there anything I can treat the plants with that won’t affect the end result? I’ll take a few pictures soon as the lights flip on.

Diatomaceous Earth, dusted on top of your medium will help.

Fan blowing across the top of the soil helps. Fungus gnats don't fly well.

And these are amazing!

Thx Preston....I am using the big stick fly pads and they are doing really good around the grow area, but I like the idea of the Diatomaceous Earth on top of the soil. Just had to look it up and it looks great, definitely going to give it a try. Thx for the info mate :thumb:
 
All clones are now out of the cloner and in small pots.

What ?? Modified sheds you say??? I am there, looking for some ideas on filter/fan location in my in construction modified shed... Looking good .... Green days all, P-dub.... Man you flipped early.. Needing meds?? Or is that just your method ?? Inquiring minds want to know, well at least me... LOL

Hi Mad, yeah to be honest its all come together a bit quick. The space is still being constructed, and I sort of had a plan, then real life got in the way for a few weeks and put me on the back foot, which is never good when trying to learn as you go.
The early flip was kind of forced on by myself, with all this being new, and me learning from videos and threads and other resources, I was kinda worried the flower light wasn't going to work, weather id built it wrong or made some mistake or it wont be intense enough for quality bud or something. For me being in the UK, low key and low cost are everything, so electric cost was up most in my thoughts when building the flower light. At the moment at peak time when everything is running, and with 1 row (156w) running on flower light, my total electric consumption for my entire grow is 500w, and that obviously drops when lights go out.
Now for me its just a waiting game to see if the bud gains weight, then i'll know a bit more.
 
Possibly a bit of nute burn?
 
Well nute burn is just a guess, it could be the start of a deficiency. what are you feeding them and are you giving them full strength doses? you could tone down the feed for a while and see if it clears up, if it gets worse then the girls probably are deficient in something.
I`m no expert though, i`ve managed to wing it till now lol
