Hi Horse
I do 36 hours of darkness. Just because I want them to know that things are changing. Yep total darkness! If you can find a green like bulb, you can use it!
But make sure it is green.
High Mick, glad you could stoop in
You're too modest, you've got a sweet scrog growing. When I saw it, I knew I needed to fill a lot more holesAnd, I take tips from anyone willing to offer... the jar is by the door!
Good thinking on the pen. I'll check that out, and if it works I'll give it to my son... he just eyeballs everything, ha.
I am amazed at how fast the girls responded after straightening out the water. I've needed to weave into new holes twice today.
Do you add the superthrive at every feeding? I love the lable, you just know that shit's gotta be good. The Dr. Bronner's of supplements
Speaking of Dr. Bronner's, I've been using the peppermint for a surfactant when I spray Azamax and Neem. It also seems to help the Neem oil mix better in the spray bottle. That stuff is nasty... and I hope the bugs think so too
Thanks OMM, green light, okay! Are they used for anything than growing, or would Home Depot have 'em? Our grow shop might... that's the ticket!
Do you feed anything special before lights out? Cookies, salty treats?
I really wish I knew what I was doing

r hurt a leaf on any plant i had, i sprayed every other day for 6 wks until the borg bugs were gone, also put in the soil, and it is absorbed by plants and bugs dont llike it....use it in greenhouse ect, and outside....and i quit when done....must be used with enough light to dry the plant out before darkness, BUT not hot light....otherwise will burn, if not dried will help cause mildew and mold, which is where my first crop tried to go...now i pay attention to the plants...and by hanging a no pest strip in the rooms and renewing it every 6 wks or so, i havent seen a borg, spider mite in a yr.....knock wood....but i do have a new list of rules i follow, wash self, change clothes if nec....no new clones without 3 wk isolation and spray...i dont care how good they look....also add all the goodies for the roots, the beneficials, costs a little, but worth a lot...that helps fight the mildew and mold systemically...
I am sure I saw them at Home Depot. Ah no. I usually water/feed in the afternoon. I put the water out in the sun to warm it up. The plants are warm from a day in the sun and seems to me cold water would put a little stress on em. There you are, paranoia taken a step farther.
You and me both brother. I have too many issues with RH to spray much of anything if I can avoid it. I have no experience with Azamax, thats just an impression I got from reading other journals.
I have neem oil (the concentrate) but I've only used the neem spray thats sold as a leaf cleaner or conditioner and only used that twice as an alternative PM treatment in other grows. I've settled on skim milk for PM control.
If your plants can be used as a guage I would have to say you're doing great and maybe shouldn't change a thing because whatever you're doing seems to be working out wonderfully. Just because a lot of us toss out ideas doesn't mean we're always right or our methods are any better than yours. I put the ideas out there for consideration, not because I think they're the best way to go for everybody. Just as I skim what looks good from other journals I hope peeps will do the same with anything I toss out there. I'm not very experienced, just read a lot. So some of what I suggest may sound or be out and out dumb. But thats what these journals are all about. I count on others to straighten me out when needed.
Oh yeah, there are 1 watt green led bulbs available for patio lanterns that work great for lights-out poking in the grow. Canadian Tire has them, which doesn't help you out I guess but they're probably available in most hardware stores.
sticking my 2 cents in here....total dark is the only way to fly....
green bulb at home depot, yes, works great if you have to go in...
I finally got all the light sources taped, removed, or blocked. The scrog just went into a 36hr dark period. I'm going to try to stay out of the crawl... it's going to be tough, it's part of my routine, and I am so nosy
azamax, works miracles....neve
Good tip, thanks. I usually drag the pots out side, but the whole scrog? Ha. I gave them an azamax feeding about a week ago, Hope that holds them through the flowering.
...now i pay attention to the plants...and by hanging a no pest strip in the rooms and renewing it every 6 wks or so, i havent seen a borg, spider mite in a yr.....knock wood....but i do have a new list of rules i follow, wash self, change clothes if nec....no new clones without 3 wk isolation and spray...i dont care how good they look....also add all the goodies for the roots, the beneficials, costs a little, but worth a lot...that helps fight the mildew and mold systemically...
I read enough about the NPS for that to sink in, but sounds like I should change them out.
sounds like alot, but no one said it was ez to raise these girls or everyone would do it....
most peeps wont listen when you try to help tho....
you do know what you're doing....you're LEARNING, and that is great...llike going up stairs, one step at a time....its uphill but worth the climb...
The bitch is, I've got a serious case of CRS... can't remember shit
anyway, the above is my take on the situation and it works for me....when it stops if it does, then i have an alternative plan in place....things do become immune to stuff after a while, so always plan the next step....just in case...
good lluck, you'll do great....L
Hey Horse
I too use Asamax and it works well.....my 2 cents worth!
I really wish I knew what I was doing
.
The scrog just came out of their 36 hr dark period. 
if it sounds like I'm baked and rambling, it's because I am
