What I love about these bags... When I move them inside at night there would either be a slight damp spot or not letting me know when its time to water them.

@Nikkel beautiful plants brother. I would just get rid of the leaf miners cos they can get out of control. Remove the leaves they in already and try get some neem or something and do preventative spraying

And the best way to know when to water your plants is still the weight test. Feed her when she's light and you will have explosive growth.

Good stuff... Just not too light because that can be worse then over watering

Even when they are light at night I do not water... I noticed a bit of plain water foliar spray at night keeps them perky till morning light and then about a liter or so per bag does the trick for about 3 days before they dry up fully.

They must love you for foliar feeding them. Add a little Epsom salts to the water, give them a treat. And when you really feel like spoiling them add some kelp to the spray.

@Mambawana how often would you recommend a foliar spray with kelpack?

Well you could do it often like every other day with great results. I use to alternate, some days I use my standard nutes other days calmag. And then atleast once every 2 weeks hit her with a silica spray. Just remember your leaves are very sensitive. They cannot handle what the root zone can. So go with mild solutions.

Nowadays I just don't have the time to do it all often enough. The few sprays that I make sure I carryout are silica atleast 2 times during veg. Triacontanol once a week or so. IPM 2 weekly or so. I spray kelp a day after a heavy pesticide spray. And then the last spray I do is on around day 10 flower and is a nice heavy copper soap spray. 

The product I'm really interested in trying is called wetable sulphur. It's used a lot in the states. It's basically a pesticide that kills almost everything and is not systemic. But every time I go ask for it at a nursery I get told there's no such thing.

This is popular with commercial organic wine grape farmers and is readibly available, although I am not sure what the smallest quantity the "gif smouse" are selling.

Not sure if you guys watch the gml show but they have actually mentioned once that it comes from the grape industry. I'm pretty sure they could do 25kgs or maybe 50 kg bags. I'm guessing it's quite cheap. Thanks I'm going to look into it.

Nexus and Wenkem are the first companies who come to mind.

@Mambawana where do you get your Triacontanol from and have you done tests as to whether it actually makes a noticeable difference?

Any idea as to how much of a difference a foliar spray vs adding it with nutes makes to the way it works?

 

Also how do you plan on using the wettable sulfur and only during veg or will you possibly use it during flower too? Whats the actual difference between wetting sulfur and normal sulfur / sulphur?

Triacontanol is available from a company called inteligro. It's about 700 for 1ltr. The dosage is crazy low. 8ml to 100ltrs. Yes it definitely works. Speeds up growth and really bushes out a plant. I've physically noticed a difference in a week. I aggressively leaf stripped 2 of my GG clones. The plant sprayed with triacontanol recovered and grew all its foliage back a lot faster. Atm I'm testing higher doses on some clones I've got outdoors, my guinea pig plants for testing everything. I'm checking to see if higher doses can cause any mutations. I have not noticed a difference when mixed into Nutes but definitely with foliar feeding. 

I don't know the difference between the 2 sulphurs as yet. But I'm on it. And no I don't spray anything in flower. The latest I've ever sprayed was day 14 and that was only once and it was an emergency.

Any idea where? I want to use sulphur on alternate runs before I get any resistances to what I'm using.

If you had read the sulphur discussion you would know that one option is to import the correct product, not sure why you would offer your opinion if you were going to state the obvious.
