Nice! And I love your photos - they're so crisp and in focus, very professional looking - that close up of the trichs is sick mate!

Cheers Knight!
This Canon G11 kicks ass for MJ photos.
And pretty much everything else for that matter.

great plants, awesome pics.

Bass!

Nice pics ....... Looking great.


Here's the link to the light I was talking about. He said he uses this and the next day there's no PM at all. There are marks on the leaves where the PM used to be. But, the plant is clean afterwards.

That's crazy!
never heard anything about these before.
Sounds kinda weird to me though.
Because all it is is UV light right?
For 199 euros seems like a bit of a rip, when you could just buy a UV light from a Pet store to do the same thing.
Maybe it's more heavy duty, hence the "Must wear gloves and safety Glasses always!"
I'd like to talk to your friend that uses it to find out more info.

Thanks a lot Mutt.
reps coming your way for that!

loving the hairy roots!

me too!!

great grow. I loved my kush I grew this summer and will get more this year..... so I'll be watching ..
I had a mold problem also. the light sounds good if it works. but I found vinegar and water spray was best.. Free and the plants loved the spray and it did not affect buds at all. But once you get it its a constant fight to harvest . my ladybugs loved it also. had bumper crop of ladybugs this year so the bugs were controled. Id get a sulfer burner and raise it up the tree and let er cook. lol. I made one for 40 dollars out of a resessed light fixure. Because i hope to kill that shit befor my next grow....great grow

Thanks john,
vinegar and water eh? Ive read about that somewhere before but haven't tried it yet.
What dilution rate to water?
And how'd you make your sulpher burner for 40.00!?
Can you post up a how to? Or direct me to where I can learn more?

10 to 1 on vinegar and water. and i watched a u tube video on burner. buy a 6 inch recessed light fixture and a green spot light and a 5 inch storm collar and some chain to hang it by.. go to u tube and watch it. works great. cost 15 dollars for enough sulfer for years.

Awesome John,
Thanks heaps for that.
reps are on their way.
Watched the video on the tube and have decided I'm totally going to make one.
Was always on the fence about using sulphur burners in the house. Especially having a wife with a sensitive nose. But as long as I use it when she's not around I think it would work pretty good.
And for 50 bucks, why not.
Planning my 21 day defoiliation for this Sunday, so all porta scrogs are going to be getting pulled out of the tent for a haircut and beauty treatment. That would be a perfect time to give them all a little spritz of vinegar water after the pluck. Then use the sulphur burner as preventative for the next few weeks after.

Just one more question, when do you use it?
Burn for 3-4 hours during lights off/fans off??
And how frequently? Once a week?

1. Burn sulfur when lights are off.

2.Start burning about half way through dark cycle and let go for about 4 hours

3. turn off all fans incoming, outgoing, and wall fans.. You can turn on the wall fans for the last couple hours of the burn but use no fans for the first couple of hours.

4. evacuate all the vapor before the lights come back on. I go in with a respirator type mask and turn off the burner and turn on the outgoing fans at least an hour before lights on.

5. never burn sulfur if you have Neem oiled your plants in the last thirty days.

6. and last but not least do not burn sulfur in the last thirty days of flower if it can be helped at all..I would hope to never do it. I try and burn a total of three times in the PM season always once a week in the first three weeks of flower...

Hey Vick, before you DIY one, did you look at the products for sale? When I looked at the youtube video for the DIY burner, it also pulled up a couple videos about a retail product. They talk about the heating element being infra red diodes, so it's designed to heat the sulfur just the temperature needed to vaporize the sulfur. I don't know what that temperature is, but I get they got their infra red diode heater closer to that temperature than that light bulb will (the DIY I saw used a green flood light as the heat source). How many watts is the bulb? It might use more power than the retail offering. If it's gonna cost you $50 to make, you might want to consider a 'real' one for only $90. How much is your time worth? I know you like to DIY stuff though, so you might decide to build it for the fun of building it. I just took a look at the one for sale, and it does appear to be a good unit. If it was me, I would probably buy one.

I just went to Greners and searched for sulfur burner

Awesome info!

Question... when is PM season?

In WA state ....... everyday is PM season.

I'll use this advice when I get around to making a unit.

In WA state ....... everyday is PM season.

I only moved to WA about 15 months ago. Only now starting to understand the climate. It's very different from where I grew up, socal, and where I spent the 10 years prior, Flagstaff, AZ. I wonder if I should take some preventative measures. So far I have no disease or pests. I do have a filter on my intake, but it's made useless every time I work in there (the whole wall in my room comes down to gain access). Everytime I read about someone's battle with PM I get nervous.

hmmmmmm.
Great advice as well!
I watched that same video with the dude smoking a cig while he explained it.
But you're right, he didn't mention what watt bulb he's using so its a gamble as to what temperature you can get the sulfur to vaporize without under doing it, or worst case lighting it on fire.
I'm going to look around and see which ones I can find locally for cheap.
I always thought they were expensive for some reason.
Don't have much scratch, and you got me, I like a good DIY project. Ha!
But I guess I'll wait and see what I can find first.

cheers to both of you for your input on this subject, as I'm a newbie to Sulfur burning..

I would take precautions if I were you..
Just to have yourself covered.
WA is pretty similar weather conditions as B.C.
You could bring fresh clones into your room and once they get PM, they have it.
Cloning them will just continue the PM along with the babies.
It's not in the room, it's in the plant.
Like plant herpes.
Lies dormant and then just when you wanna get freaky deaky, it shows up to wreck the party. Or so I've heard..
I'm not speaking from human experience there though, just a metaphor.. lol

Re: Vick074-OG Kush last run in CocoSoil-CO2-1KHPS-5X5tent-with Porta Scrogs!? porta

A really good prevetative is lemon water. Mix real 100% lemon juice 1 part with 2 parts water. Spray your plants once a week. The Ascorbic acid keeps the PM at bay and will help prevent it. It also helps to keep a small space heater or dehumidifier in the grow area. If you can keep your humidity under 40% RH, it will also helps alot with keeping PM out. It's hard for it to grow when there's not enough humidity. I keep a small space heater in my grow box. It keeps my temps at 75 degrees and keeps my RH at 40-45%. I've yet to have issues with PM (knock on wood). If I do get a bad case of PM ...... I'll probably get that UV light to deal with the problem. In WA, you either have had PM, are going to get PM ..... or you currently have PM ..... LOL. Just a fact of life up here.

I also use Bronner's Magic Soap (peppermint) to prevent/kill mites (it's the same ingredients as liquid ladybug). I mix it 1 tbsp to 32 oz water. I spray it once a week to prevent aphids, mites, knats and thrips. It also has ascorbic acid in it (Vit C) which helps keep PM at bay.
