Weenmeoff's Inside Soil Alien Abduction Grow Journal

[Canadian Joe]

If your in flower you don't want to do any stress training, any stress on the plant as you want the plant to be concerned with growing buds instead of putting its energy into recovering from stresses and breaks. It will reduce your yield if your doijg it in flower. All topping, LST, Supercropping, etc needs to be done long before you flip to flower.

You are in flower right? Or is that just the clones under 11/13? You might consider a SCROG if your growing indoors.

Thanks! I am doing that to the clones mothers which are still in veg....

 

[Pat999]

Clones are looking nice man did you open them up with your fingers slightly?

 

[weenmeoff]

Thanks Pat! No I have not touched the clones but I do that with the mothers a few times a day.

 

[Pat999]

Hoping they show signs of a female, can't wait I will do long distance cheering for sure!

 

[weenmeoff]

Did a little training on the monster runt.

 

[weenmeoff]

Any suggestions on nutes for the clone? The soil has never got even remotely dry since I first watered 10 days ago. I still can't confirm roots but pretty sure they're there. They've been on 11/13 for 3 days now.

I would hold off on nutes for now. If the soil is still moist I would hold off watering. Hopefully you see some roots soon.

 

[weenmeoff]

Thank you. More importantly I hope to see some Lady parts soon!

 

[dirt mcgert]

They should show within 2 weeks max. I hoping for girls for you.

 

[weenmeoff]

Thanks again dirt.

I have the clones in my house in a closet in a box which I open daily to let them breath. Today I started noticing little bugs flying around. The pic probably doesn't show much but they look kind of like fleas but they fly. I planted the clones in pro mix. I suspect they are coming from the clones.

I also have little bugs flying around in my room, they are called "miggies", it's an Afrikaans word but doesn't seem like I can get the English word for it. Quite harmless and they are just attracted to the moss in my pot. If you are worried you can always just hang a sticky strip thing.

 

[dirt mcgert]

I would get those big yellow pest strips and maybe some D.E for the top of your soil. Just keep an eye on them could be thrips but it's hard to tell from where I am.

 

[weenmeoff]

Thanks you guys! I have very few in my tent so it's weird their the house where the clones are. Not too worried yet as the clones are fine. So will get the yellow strips if it persists. What is DE?

 

[dirt mcgert]

Diatomaceous Earth-

Diatomaceous Earth-

I think pronouncing that word would give me night terrors....

I think pronouncing that word would give me night terrors....

That's why we call it D.E. lol

 

[weenmeoff]

Thanks dirt!

 

[Lady G2HM]

Thanks for liking my post. Gonna watch your journal from afar...break a branch! But not really, just a good luck term!

Thanks again dirt.

They probably came from the Pro-mix, in which case they are also probably fungus gnats. Packed soil almost always has fungus gnats. I have tried various ways to kill them. I advise you don't try too hard to kill them. The medicine can be worse than the cure.

I tried DE on the soil surface, but once you water, the DE stops working.

Yellow sticky traps are the easiest and least expensive - always helps. Totally works if you get lucky and catch them before they multiply.

The most effective treatment was spraying every 3 days for about 15 days after you stop seeing them. I sprayed with 1% neem oil, but most commercial mixes will work - they just cost more per quart
