CaliO day 35 HomeGrown Organics super soil

Awe brethren. Happy Friday! Small update on the ladies. Snapped these last night (Day 34 from seed). I'm guessing week 2 of flower for the CBD Crack + Zkittlez and week 1 for the GG.

I had to take out to show her real colour. HPS is to yellow. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

Monday coming up will be the end of week 5 Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk

My bru! MYBRU! Yoh! lol

Fabric pots are the shit man. I've been using them since my 2nd grow and never looked back. The work exceptionally well with coco/perlite. If you can use eyelets in the top of the bag it would work kwaai. I've use safety pins before but it's not great. Soil, works great too, but because it drains alot slower, you have to water in stages or it runs out the sides of the bag. Saucers/trays area must hey. I water these ones every 5 days. The velcro is gonna make your life super easy hey.

For just over a month from seed that's pretty darn impressive!

It's an auto. Probably another 2-3 weeks left Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

Ripped out the mutant Gold glue to find it hadnt even made it out the jiffy yet transplanted her outside to see if she'll become anything. In place of her ive sprouted more Mephisto genetics! But pics of it when she's older Fastbuds - Gorrila Glue, sitting pretty on day 12. Mephisto - Gold glue on day 21, she is throwing pistils and growing really quick! Being fed Freedom farms Probiotics once a week and water when dry.

Howdy folks, first post here, been lurking for a bit, not really one for introducing myself and also haven't been on a local grow forum since BelowTheLion had a grow forum...so.....eh...howzit. Recently run into some issues with root aphids, so thought it appropriate to communicate with local communities in order to see what methods people have used in the past to treat infestations, as well as share my experiences. * Currently Day 25 of Flower at posting(11/04/2019) Setup: Mars Grow Tent(Total Grow Space - 2.4mx1.2mx2m) 1 x Extractor(700m3/hr - 11.67m3/minute) - Negative Pressure 600w HID(Sunmaster - Dual Spectrum [Flowering Period Only]) 2 x 45l D.W.C Reservoirs 2 Plants per res.(125mm Net Pots with Hydrotron/LECA) ScroGged(Utilised Grow Space - 1mx1.4m) Strain: 4 x Green House Seed Co. A.M.S.(Identical Cuts) Preface: For the record, I had some how allowed myself to be fooled by the idea that subterranean pests wouldn't really be a factor in hydroponics, especially Deep Water Culture, but boy was i mistaken, so please, don't fool yourselves with this idea guys. If anything, in my resulting opinion, the hydroponic environment can actually be more conducive to certain pests growth when comapred with its media/soil counterparts, however, on the flip side, much like dealing with nutrient burns or P.H. issues, hydroponic systems have a greater potential for fast recover.(*Provided you are able to identify the issue/infestation early enough.) In hind sight, I can easily say that the first sign of my infestation actually started showing a little over a week ago, however I would only come to realise this 3 days ago. It started with me waking up to finding a mass of dead fliers on my tent floor, which I had simply assumed were just miggies trying to get to my light and moved on, however I would soon realise that these were actually the winged adults of an aphid infestation. I only realised the true issue when it came to nute change time, which is when I discovered a rather established Root Aphid infestation when going to siphon my reservoirs. *This is when Hydrogen Peroxide(H2O2) becomes your next best friend. Treatment: Day 1: Sprayed with Ludwigs Insect Spray +. Flushed reservoirs with fresh water and tried to physically remove and wash off any visible aphids as much as possible. Filled reservoirs with P.H. balanced water and added 12ml(30% H2O2[Clicks - 30 Vol.]) per resivour. Only water/circulation pump running - aeration turned off to potentially try reduce H2O2 reduction to H2O. Day 2: Sprayed with Ludwigs Insect Spray +. Added 5ml(30% H2O2[Clicks - 30 Vol.]) to each reservoir. Day 3: Flushed reservoirs with fresh water and tried to physically remove and wash off any visible aphid debris as much as possible - can clearly see that the infestation is not thriving like it was. Added normal flowering nute mix Aerators back on(*System to run as normal) I definitely feel that my initial knock of the infestation has been successful, however it is crucial that I ensure that I keep on top of this infestation by inspecting my rootzone multiple times a day when possible as well as spraying Ludwigs Insect Spray + to ensure that any crawling/flying aphids are exterminated and unable to continue their life cycle.(I have had great success with Ludwigs Insect Spray + for canopy/foliage pests). If I see any signs of the root aphids getting a grip again, I will repeat the steps from day 1 and 2(H2O2 Volume to be determined). *Yellow fly paper would also be extremely beneficial at reducing winged flier survival success rate *It is crucial that anyone reading this post realises that these are my experiences with a Deep Water Culture Hydroponic system, and that if you encounter root aphids in a soil-type medium, H2O2 will destroy any organic organisms in your medium, if at a strong enough concentration, beneficial organism or not. Ensure that you consider this and research accordingly before taking this as word. *Please also realise that the effects of root aphids will most likely show as a nutrient deficiency first, unless the rootzone infestation is noticed before hand by the grower. Any experiences or input would be much appreciated - substantiated or opinionated <3.

If he is a real man, he will. If he is a wimp he probably won't @Hydro Herb Africa

into the forest i go!

Awe, the roots do stick. I usually use the fabric pot as my final. So plastic, plastic, fabric.

Well done bru, you growing this in auto mode.

Shot @Pat999. Conditions are perfect. Only thing I need is another fan and I'm golden. They need to "move" more.

3 Sisters..

Bru looking really really good, those girls really took off neh Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk

Yoh, i'm loving it man!

Got some Autumn colours coming through

Finish line is in sight, keeping a close eye on those trich's.

The indoor Blue CDB is a couple of weeks ahead of the outdoor now. But the outdoor ones just seem happier and their structure is just amazing Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

Many clones later, so I'm flowering out the mother plant. Getting there slowly Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Thanks Bruv, left to right, CBD Crack, Zkittlez and Gorilla Glue. I'm liking the CBD crack the most, the structure is great. The GG is the runt of the lot, like a day or two behind the other two ladies. Thanks @Stoukie , they only shot out around day 20 hey. Been growing like 2cm a day, if not more. The pic I posted now was taken on 25/03 so you can see the difference

Ok let’s see. Herewith the outstanding images. Hope they pretty enuf first up my Auto AK next is the Auto Bubblegum Extra now for the Fems first the Super lemon Haze next is the Royal Gorilla followed by the C99 and then last but most certainly not the least Girl scout cookies
