Good to now regarding pineapple, might av mutual friend but the crit kush is from diff mate...but hey it's a very small world lol

Crit Kush ive got are doing real good gowthwise 5ish weeks in to flower and flowers bulking up nice not overly smelly but getting bit sticky. Only slight drawback is on close looking tonight theyre growing Balls ffs spent an hour castrating the fuckers and if they the same as last grow of cheesel the ball sacs will come back four times as many in a minute. Dont wanna chop em if i can help it cos otherwise they look great. Second grow in a row. Took the last tent down and dumped it. All new setup ffs. Anyone know if th reverse shit does its job ?

Those air pots look a good nxt move, would there be much benefit to getting 15L air pots over the 10L version?

mate i tried the air pots and to be honest i prefer normal black 15 litre pots with drain holes in bottom but 3 weeks veg and 9 weeks flower i always hit 4 1/2 - 5 oz per plant , 4 plants under each 600 w hps mate

 

[Thc247]

6oz would be massive jump for me, time for some experimenting I think. Only got given 1 pineapple plant which is already 1 week into flower so would I still be able to take cuttings off this?- its a very small plant that wasn't living up to her sisters so that's the reason I was given it, been offered critical kush cuts which seem to have good write ups for yield etc

i take cuts up to 3 weeks in flower put the cuts on 24/0 no problem i got told years ago that they would take longer to root but tbh i dont notice a difference in time it takes to root

 

[Thc247]

well people im at week 8 1/2 when i watered today i noticed knats flieing out the pot when watered around 5 or 6 each pot im just going to leave em be for now as im starting straight water on next feed but im more worried about the zlh wanted to run it the 12 but might have to be sooner if knats get worse prettty sure thou that its too far gone to actually worry too much

@Thc247 Get some chillies-hottest you can or dried cayenne pepper, simmer gently and strain with coffee filter and spray on plants. They have a soft mouth and burns em when they feed. It won't eradicate but will slow em up. You could add a small amount of isopropyl (a table spoon) but be more careful to just spray the leaves.

 

[Thc247]

niceone mate it seems they are coming from the soil i cant see any feeding on the leaves ive put a shit load of sticky traps around the bottoms should i just sprey the leaves or can it be spreyed ontop of soil mate ? also thanks for your reply bro also i use the bathroom as a lung room and noticed some in my bath tub around the drain hole im thinking my inlets have prob blew them in there i will try the chillie method i just hope they aint got into my clone tent or momma i cant see none but i have always had a no pest strip in my tent but cant seem to get them now it seems they are banned from uk or sum mad shit

I use this as a preventive and spray everywhere.If you do use alcohol with it don't spray the soil, it will kill any microbial life. You could also put a a 1cm layer of sand or verm/perlite-it will greatly hinder any hatchlings getting out of your soil

 

[R1b3n4]

Fuck sake...........hydro shop near me has just closed down for good, now a 20mile trip to the next nearest one and I need Perlite ffs

 

[Thc247]

SAME HERE MATE
i had a wicked store that was cheap as fuck and they closed down too i now order everything off fuckin amazon and get it delivered to an empty flat by me i have to bad the letter box and wait for card to be left to collect it from depot pain in the arse like but too much to lose using my addresse or my grow house

think thats what im going to do i know the cheese is safe as only got 10 days to go but livers zlh and lemon skunk got a bit longer .
what sand should i use mate ?
also i always see people on here blaming sum 1 else for there fuckups and that but i got to big up my missus i was locked when she started this and she even introduced the net to save tieing it all up and my tent has never looked so cramped with buds she did veg too long so had to cut a shit load off bottoms but il be using the net always now and i had a book with instructions but she topped an fimed and i reckon if i was still locked up she would of done it from start to finnish and still done well final weight will tell all
@zeddd did i read that the trim pro is crap mate was thinking of getting one i pay 2 people £80 each to trim and they do get right in and trim good but was about to buy one when i read something about grass smell

 

[Thc247]

one question too @zeddd the zlh at 10 weeks are the pistils receded into the bud or not because it seems like its still throwing out new pistils and if not is it at 12 weeks the buds really taking on the smell and feel now they are hardening out whats most u had off 1 zlh and 1 livers the liovers smells really fruity now cant fuckin wait 10 days till royal chop 1 week dry and it will all be gone straight away 50 oz 170 each cuz he takes it all and then can book my fucking holidays

 

[Roobarb]

I use building sand from my local build providers sometimes called sharp sand. I use Neem oil in veg & up to 2nd or so week in veg. Little longer if sativa. Then spray few times a week just at lights on so has plenty time to dry. Keep a close eye on your veg room. It's very easy for YOU to transport them on your clothes or hair and stuff

Oh and fair play your missus. She's a goodun

 

[zeddd]

too many q s for my fragile state lol...its got a bit o sativa hence the pistil situation, spinpro depends on the knowledge of your buyer but its a bit grassy umo
