Here's what I came back with:
Ground Neem Seed 1/8th cup mixed with plant soil, or sprinkled on top of the dirt in existing grows. (I applied to the topsoil then mixed lightly). Water over it. Plants will draw it up, and grow bigger than you might want.
GreenClean. This small bottle is 3-feedings. First spraying: use 1/2 the bottle with a gallon of water. Blast every centimeter of plant material - over, under and on the soil, but not too much that it drains to roots. Put the plant in 4-hrs or 5 of darkness. (i.e; I'll spray my plants tonight at 8, put them in the locked structure with a timer to the shop lights, so they go ON at 1 a.m.) Repeat a
2nd feeding, use 1/4 of the bottle doing the same thing. Cover every bit of plant material. If you leave (1) one egg, you still have a mite problem.
3rd feeding: Use the remaining 1/4 bottle in a gallon of water and hit it hard again. Your mites should be gone.
Source: Brown bottle on left. I believe the name is
Source. It's a newer silica product. Cost $500. retail per gallon or $200. for a pint or $60. for a smaller bottle. The
JoeHydro gave me the eyedropper bottle full.
3 mls per 5 gallons. If you give them
more, the plants will level-off and stop growing. So, 5 gal. divided by 3 mls. =
1.6666 mls. per gallon. Good luck measuring that.
Joe showed me pics of the biggest, widest, and most colorful buds I've ever seen. He used Source and LEC?, (not LED) lighting which controls color spectrum. He said if you grow indoors and use the LEC lighting from start to finish, the plants become multicolored and grow evenly ramped. Whereas changing metal hilide, to other bulbs will cause the plant to pause in it's growth to re-adjust to new lighting. I saw big pics of the results. A mass of multicolored, jam-packed crystals hiding any leaf material that they sat on. And they were different colors. Real different. He says one strain, he'll smoke just before he brushes his teeth, and then hit the sack, it's so heavy.
