Thanks con
Does that Kill them, or just deter?
the soap will dehydrate them & the peppermint will suffocate themThanks con
I would consider that in other circumstances, but the thought of having to spend more time hand picking them off the Budz again, called for pulling out the Big Guns and Nuking those Basterds DEAD! Instantly! DEAD!
Sorry! I might have gotten carried away there for a second!
Nah, just that aphids seem less like one of the plagues!
Yeah, I'm not sure if it is You, or some unseen Phenomenon going on in your yard!
I read they only last a few days, I guess mine didn't get the Memo!
I would use that inside the tent. Is it plant safe?
Phew!

You had me on the edge of my seat!
I thought aphids had a negative impact on the girls?
not to sure if it would be, would have to do some research on the peppermints effect on plants
They do and I kill them, but they never seem like they have some biblical implications!
Even though I get All the Lemonade I can drink, never more, the only Biblical implications I perceive is how Blessed I am! Things could have been worse!
I think I like the nighttime flash pics! You can see the Budz much betterer! how well she is doing! I think I will give her a Flower res change and flip to 12/12 tomorrow. She has liked the 75% @ 19, now about 18 inches.
2Funny!Inside is looking much better than "MEDIUM" and outside is flowering like crazy.
Hahaha
Last night, I checked on my SideChick and didn't really see much growth. So I scooped out some res, and poured it through the Turface to wet the roots. I did notice the res was down about 2 inches below the bucket line. Today I walked in and saw This!
Hahaha!Ha! Everytime she gets dressed you undress her again!
your system seems simple enough & your results proves that it works well, have you ever tried a 90 degree LST with the Turface?As I get ready to prepare a New res to start 12/12 for My SideChick, I am reminded how easy nute management is in a Turface Swick (PPK).
On July 25, I mixed 5 gallons for my 7 clones in this...
Aside from increasing the ppm's by adding dry nutes to the existing res, no water was added. This res lasted 51 days. I did not check ph the entire time, because the plant didn't show any signs that I needed to.
On August 26, I built the single Turface Swick and started her out with a fresh res filled just below the plant bucket. Once or twice a week, I would wet the Turface by using its own res. Again, no changes, ph checks, or additions till now. I could just add 2 inches of nutes to bring the level back up to the bucket, but I will prepare a fresh res for optimal results. 25 days same res.
REMINDER: Nute mix is the same for Veg and 12/12. 1 Tablespoon each of Jacks Hydroponics and Calcium/Nitrate per 5 gallons Tap water (~100 ppm).
From now, I will mix 5 gallons and add some every day or 2 to keep the level just under the plant for maximum growth.
Since Turface doesn't allow pooling, overwatering is not a concern. Roots stay in the container and Don't grow into the res, so pumps and airstones are NOT needed, totally passive!
I am Convinced that this style for growing is among the Easiest ways, and Simple enough for Noobies to Master quickly! Without complicated Nute schedules, you can focus on Environment and Plant training.
Matter of Fact... I Believe the only Easier System would be My vPPK. Which would incorporate a pump to continually Top feed every couple hours. Which would eliminate the need for me add every day or 2, and reduce the need for Res management to once a week +/-, just adding nutes to keep the pump covered.
BUT, doing so would not allow me to grow a small tabletop plant!
YES! That is exactly what I did to My SideChick! I wanted to train her low, but instead of topping her and waiting for her to grow lower nodes, I bent her over just above the second node, which was outgrowing the main.
Thanks! I am Happy with the way things are working out so far.
