Re: Querkle and Blue Dream
Don't worry about those that call you crazy. Don't even say a word. Just grow a 10oz + plant that's less than 3 ft tall, and let them ask how the hell you did it.
As for mites, I'll share my routine. I've been fortunate to not have any pests. My grow is in a carpeted bedroom. Prior to the first grow ever I vacuumed, scrubbed walls with small amount of bleach. I did the same to the hallway leading into the room and into the closest bedroom (also not being used). I then sprayed the entire floor of the grow room and closet, hallways, secondary bedroom, and all baseboards with HOME DEFENSE. Available at very reasonable prices from wally world, home despot, etc. I sprayed these areas 3 times a week for two weeks before ever starting my grow. I now spray just the hallways and entry into the room and up to the tent about once a month. I have yet to finish off 1 gallon more than a year later.
I never go into my grow room with street clothes. I never go in with shoes on. I am a horrible mess maker, but I am vigilant on this. I've been fortunate that in an area known for huge problems with mites, I have not had to deal with them.
