Newty’s Perpetual Pantry Party & Outdoor Grow Show

[SamSmith]

Fires out west have been bad this year. I was watching the weather channel and the were showing all the ones 100 acres or more. The guys in the Harley forum are posting pics like Newty's from all over the west and Canada.

Lookin good Newty! Yea I can tell when the outdoor advisory is issued as I immediately start my day with my inhaler. Then I hear the advisory on the alarm Lol. I guess it's not all in my head.

 

[newty]

No it’s not in your head, I could taste it yesterday!

 

[newty]

So I recently learned that h2o2 is hydrogen peroxide lol

I guess I never needed it before, but I’m going to add that to my bug treatment regiment. Is it safe to use on flowering plants and how do y’all mix it. I just got mine from the drug store.

 

[Pennywise]

I'd use full strength for drugstore purity.

 

[newty]

Sweet! I’ll go get more

 

[newty]

Can I spray my flowering brookies with h2o2 or should I leave them be? I’ll be harvesting in about 2 weeks me thinks

Lots of info on the interweb #tooconfused

 

[Pennywise]

I'm not sure If I would spray flowers, maybe someone else uses it.

 

[Amy Gardner]

Hi newty! H202 is what is recommended for the first bud wash bucket if you have any mold issues (PM etc). So it’s perfectly safe for flowers The budwash ratio is 1/3 H202 to 2/3 water, using 3% H202. I’m not sure how you would mix to spray. It will neutralise everything tho! I think SweetSue used it for bugs... as a spray. Check with her maybe.

I thought I’d mentioned it earlier, but maybe I only mentioned Conrad’s success with the alcohol and not the H202... glad somebody did!

I’m so envious of you all with access to H202 cheaply. It’s super expensive here, and I can’t work out why. A 250ml bottle costs me about $16 dollars!

 

[newty]

Woah that’s expensive! I got my 500 for $1

Thanks for stepping in Amy, great info! Does someone use alcohol for bugs like isopropyl?

Maybe it's a stronger dilution. 3% is standard over the counter here and it's cheap, but the 12% and 35% are pretty dear.

 

[Amy Gardner]

Not iso - Conrad used some whiskey I believe... or even vodka... I’ll have to check. But it worked.

$2 a litre, I could actually use it if I could get it for that price!

I’ll have quick peruse at con’s at see what I turn up.

Nope! 3%

I have a photo somewhere in my first journal because no-one would believe me!

Crazy! I read an article somewhere about the many uses of cheap vodka.

 

[Amy Gardner]

Ok - Conradino used water and grappa mixture (he never said what ratio). Here’s some snippets of the conversation

Hmm in my long war against mites I tried a lot of stuff, that worked more or less or it didn't, but I never tried mixing water and alcohol. So today to knock the suckers down right before the harvest I added some grappa to my spray and I treated bottom buds/leaves, where they found their home and guess what? It totally worked! It killed them on contact! I checked with my loupe and they were dead as a doornail! The good thing about it is, that alcohol will evaporate in half an hour leaving no residue, which is as good as it gets

Yeah I read about it, but then I stumbled into some negative opinions, so I dropped it. In a hindsight I should've gone with alcohol straight away. Well, lesson learnt.

I used alcohol on broad mites and it worked a charm, I used it every 2 days at first to kill any hatchlings popping up. It works!

Washing them in water with hydrogen peroxide kills them all at harvest as well. I don't remember the exact ratio recommended, but a pint bottle in a 5 gallon bucket of water does the trick, and it doesn't harm the resin.

I made a CBD tincture out of very cheap vodka recently. It’s ok - totally harsh so it works in a little water. I have a friend who loves it.

Add that to the list!

Grappa I believe it was!

 

[Mr. Magoo]

Lol. Should have read a bit further. You already found it.

 

[newty]

Hahaha sweet find Amy! What is grappa? Lol

I’ll add that to my list of treatments if needed

GeeGee and the babies are getting their Safers treatments today. Every 2 days I’ll hit them with a treatment (peroxide) is next. I plan to hit them hard for a week then once a week treatments of h2o2 and perhaps alcohol? Does that sound reasonable or do I just keep hitting them hard for a couple weeks ?

Cool! #learningisfun
