Pennywise Does SOG Pheno Hunts Fall 2018

[Pennywise]

I'm not sure personally as I haven't had to deal with aphids. I'm sure someone will know what to use, I use alcohol and water for most critters. Peroxide run through your coco should kill anything in the soil as well.

Ya that's been my experience as well...really never had such a difficult one, although I think I found the answer.

BioLogic Scanmask Steinernema Feltiae (Sf) Beneficial Nematodes for Natural Insect Pest Control

Beneficial nemotodes. I just need to get a conversion to see how much to buy and get it on order immediately. I'll bet it wouldn't hurt shooting the topsoil with alcohol either until they they arrive.

 

[Pennywise]

It won't harm the plant but it's wicked on bugs.

 

[StoneOtter]

Looking healthy from here! What's the flavor on the xmas bud? Have you had it ?

 

[Pennywise]

Strong pine terps, been years since Xmas Bud has been available.

Make sure there is some good ventilation over the mediums as well.

You could get these yellow sticky trap thing you stick in medium most insects are attracted to colour bright greens yellows.

Although I’ve never had aphids I just dealt with thirps . I used neem oil 1 ml per say a litre shake really well . Spray that on day 1 then the spray every 3-4 days until no pest are present then I do it once a week as preventative maintenance.
I won’t spray pass two weeks into flower though.

Also in between the neem oil sprays I mix 9:1 water alcohol I use 70% usp for 2$ bottle at Walmart. Spray again well and beer fans and all.

And I’ll add h202 or hydrogen peroxide 3% usp mix that 9:1 and add first to water stir let sit then I add nutes and feed through my canna coco . Again even without pest I’ll run it time to time .

Best of luck buddy. Think aphids are like shield bugs they suck nutrients and eat away at the stem cells tissue .

I love it KingJoe!
I use most of those tactics now actually as PM and if I see bugs will do the back and forth alcohol / neem and within a week they are gone. I think PW taught me that, or at least the alcohol mix. I did the neem afterword thinking, alcohol strips lipids and then neem replaces with protective coating once plant regens any lost.

It has been my go to method so far but if these are root aphids and it might be the case as the crawlers were very specific looking I may have my work cut out for me on this one.

Ya, and we forgot the yellow traps last time at the grow shop which is a bummer it could have relieved some pressure. With the BTI and yellow traps i've eradicated fungus gnats last winter so I know they work. I'll get some of those too.

Thanks again buddy!

Nice around that time

Speaking of, I talked about you in my video yesterday a bit on this as my last plasma girl (13) is very Deadhead OG like Piney and i'm in cannabis heaven. I want badly to see how that Xmas came out as it was something I used to look forward to each year. It was for a long time the only good weed we got.

Exactly wish I knew someone who had some sts this could use to try .. just need get a job so I can justify some spending to the wife.

I totally understand that statement and I apologize but had to laugh a little.
I'm in your boat and good fortune or not we can sell overages to anyone soon which will help me anyway if I can produce some more...Anyway I know what you mean I'm over hear debating on coco and traps or a new bulb...from being the bread-winner before by 3x at least, now we're starting over and it's a huge hit to my ego and my pride to ask the wife to buy me a light bulb...
I just cannot decide what to do moving forward. Software or Cannabis? Cannabis just sounds so much more attractive... and with my current medical taper it's near impossible to work. I think the wife is ok with that considering come March I will be free of opiate medication and able to do the job I went to school for, while building the business. Right now I have exactly 4-6 productive pain free hours a day and it takes all that to hold down the fort. Best of luck though brother, things will work out.

Hey Penny!

Dropping by and things are looking great over as always! The tent is filling up and your girls are stacking nicely!

Quick questions about CS vs STS...

Which is better? Is one more successful than the other? Why would one choose CS over STS or vise versa ? Just curious as I will be purchasing one or the other for my New Years breeding program!

Yeah money is all an issue in my world . everything I have was from me and my wives hard work . No handouts no wills . Never cared about to talk about wills as never was my attention to care so much for that. Rather have the person alive .

Not sure where I am going with this..

Life finds a way it all works out in the end they say.

Hope today I get the call for this new job I’m trying to get . No ei and sitting on my bit this winter .

Yeah I need lots of things but I try to do the best with what I have and be greatful for what I have .

Life is funny man . Hey all the best with those nasty critters .
You could always buy lady bugs or a predator mite of some sort?

I am sure he will agree from what he has said before is sts is better I can’t remeber the reasons why again as brain only takes what it wants apparently lol

 

[Mr. Krip]

Heavy pine smell

 

[StoneOtter]

Heavy pine smell

I'd like that

I used CS but you have to spray daily until it drips off the plant/branch, with STS it's every 3 days. STS is much cheaper and does a much better job than CS.

Thank you !

Yeah seems someone else prefers cs on s thread hearing what they are saying why over sts then hearing you . Interesting .
