@PsyCLownI think the instructions from efekto says 12 ml to 10 L for drenching lawns, I had a big problem in my pots so I went with 15 ml in 10 litres and it worked. Its a long time since I used any spinosad, I stopped caring about the fungus gnat larvae and worms, when I moved back from hydro to soil. I rotate all pesticides to avoid the bugs building any resistance and bio neem works well without causing any plant stress. Good luck , I hope you solve it soon.

Bathurst?

A new home for the babiespollenating the Pre-flowers12/12 for the big ones7 Watter is the best R15 I spent on this grow.clones need topping nowI got the hash plants green again, before flippingveg room is full againone male pulled out of flowering.

@Pants I stopped keeping mother plants a long time ago, now I'm just a serial cloner. Air pruning also works well to build equal growth from clones. You need a clone tray with big holes at the bottom and raise it up off the floor. The roots will prune themselves and you don't have to take them out the tray and cut any roots.

I got rid of worms and larvae in my Coco by mixing 1.5 ml eco insect control and alternating the drench with bio neem at 2 ml. I adjusted the pH to 6 for improved efficacy. When you use these liquids as on the soil they are absorbed by the roots and act as systemic pesticides. I rotated the drenches for 3 weeks and eliminated the issue.

You can use something with spinosad in it. Soil drenching should get rid of them.

They are looking superb. I really like the look of this bubblegum. I bet she smells wonderful

@Pants look at you with your 60 Watt array. They are going great underneath your lighting rig. Are the flood lights cool white too? Are you familiar with the concept of bonsai mothers?

Yes man, 3 of them together are bright enough. It's quite surprising how well they work. I did pull the cap off one lamp and am using it to flower with, but these 3 I thought it was best to keep the diffusers on for the young ones. The light gets thrown out more to the sides and spreads out more. Do you also use household bulbs to grow with?

21 Watts of cool white seems pretty sufficient. The ones directly underneath the lamps are starting to dominate the rest.i put the 6 biggest into 25 litre pots of old soil. 3 of them are potentially males so I need to watch them like a hawk when I flip 'em.the two small ones at the front are double sunset and Tortoni fems. they look really strong, especially the double sunset. she's already caught up with the previous generation of clones. They are both going into 1.5 L pots tonight.hash plant x Bluberrythe left hand side got another dose of mycoroot when I transplanted from 2.5 into 5 litre pots. Im trying to root these ones without any dome, heat mat or direct light. The humidity is between 65-75 and they haven't wilted yet. 1 x hashplant, 2 x garlic and 9 x big buddha #3. Perking up and starting to look a bit more lively. A bit of fulvic acid and 50 Watts of light is making them very happy ladies. That magneto torch wasn't strong enough, but it did a job.everything has got a bit more room to grow now. they were getting lanky when they were all squeezed in together.

Hello growmie, this is very helpful info. I put the bag over, sealed up the Ziploc, but didn't cut open the bottom of the bankie. I knew I hadn't done it right because of the condensation inside. I usually just cut off the flower and shake the pollen into a container, but a cloud of pollen flies into the air. Your method is much better, I just need to learn how to get it right.

This is a mega diary and I'm enjoying the pics. Thanks for posting them, your plants look solid.

I would like to encourage everyone to test these claims made by the manufacturers and sales teams. Don't take my results as proof of anything and to conduct your own experiments, at home. How else can we be certain that these products are up to standard? Every claim made is anecdotal, until it can be proven. I don't want to shit on mycoroot, but is it compatible with cannabis? I've run this trial several times over the years and can never see any benefit from using it. Dr Jo Dames is highly respected and she is like our version of Elaine Ingham, but I've never seen a positive response from mycoroot, on my weed. Either, the spores aren't active or these microbes don't have a relationship with cannabis. They get a lot more expensive in their liquid form. biodyne 401 did nothing positive either, so a higher price tag doesn't mean it's a better product. Neither of these labels, or websites mention the type of fungus, or the number of CFU that is supposed to be in their bottles. I think it's a combination of slick marketing and placebo effect that gets people using these products in the first place. It casts some shade over the biodynamic and organic marketing methods, if they resort to selling snake oil to make their profits. A home made worm bin, or compost pile works, it costs nothing and gives brilliant results because the microbes are fresh and still alive.

They're looking frosty and delicious. Franco's Lemon Cheese is a nice smoke, I took them down at 12 weeks when I grew it.

I'm feeding these young ones from the bottom now. It's just easier for me to put the water straight into the trays and let the plants suck it up slowly. The normal tap water rows were the two on the left. The centre row got tap water + kelp and aminomix. The 2 rows on the right were treated with de-chlorinated water.The centre row grew bigger with the additional ferts but the 2 sides are almost identical. The same root development and number of side branches. The chlorine fed plants are just as green as the others. They all stayed in the small pots for the trial, maybe a week longer than was needed but I wanted to keep everything equal. All the rows got a little bit of tip burn and I gave one spray of Epsom salts before I transplanted them.

The 3 cheeses carry on bulking up and loving the fish mix they got, last week.only 1 dream queen has survived. I dropped the tray and decapitated the other 3 more room, more light and a bit of fish mix too

These have had a nice growth spurt since they were put under 50 W of LED. Touch wood I haven't seen any more spider mites, but I will keep on spraying before flowering. I haven't done any sprays since I let the persimilis loose. Rosetta Stone master kush garlic sorbet Spumoni I've cloned the garlic and put her into a 25 litre pot now. She has got some vigour and is going to need a cane for support soon.

On the road to recovery. 2 doses of fish mix and 2 doses of Margaret Roberts plant food. They are improving every day. Epsom salts, fulvic acid, malted barley are the other things I added too. When I remember, I must put on some more kelp, rock dust and worm castings for a final top up in the pot.

Mycoroot test. with mycorootno mycoroot one on the left is with mycoroot No difference between the two, in terms of health, size and vigour. I am starting a new test with plant matters v mycoroot v control to see if I can see any difference in seed germination.

Cosmoroot fell behind and the clear winner was kelpak and aminomix, in this round. I will also try to conduct a better trial with my next round of clones. On the back of this experiment, I've bought some Cosmocell H-85 humates, which is part of the ingredients in the Cosmoroot. I'm now using 0.1 g in 2 litres of water Tap water v chlorine, I still can't tell any difference between the two. I'm satisfied that there's no problem with using water straight from the tap. 1.5 ppm of Chlorine is nothing to be worried about and the pH from the municipal supply is spot on at 7.1

Thanks for explaining. Can you connect both ends of the soaker hose, to balance out the pressure? One more thing I want to ask is why do you mix this in a bucket for 2 days before applying it? First, I put 3 tablespoons of barley down and chuck2 litres of EWC straight on top of the pot, then water it in.

Good morning, they look very happy this week. Are blumats a pain to set up properly? Do you use the drippers, or soaker hose? I hope you solve the issues soon.

@GGG I've already started with the fish mix I also might have gone a bit heavy handed. The last 2 waterings I've used 3 ml fish mix + Epsom salts.

@PsyCLownthey sell the soaker hose on marijuana SA. R67 per metre. I was just looking for prices on the carrots and drippers. It's going to cost R1200 to set up enough for 2 totes. I use something similar to water my compost piles with. I currently use a timer, tank and spaghetti tubes for watering during flower. I flood into the trays every other day and let the pots suck up the water overnight. Thanks, but I still can't shift the lime colour from the two big girls though. They don't look so lekker, right now. I will claim the bulbs too, cheers. @Bay Seedsthe boy/girl. Its happened to each one, so I probably stressed them out.
