Its allot of work to keep on top of them by the sounds of it an i would be doing the same in your position after harvest an rippin everything down an throw everything at the room untill i was sure i killed everything then redo all equipment as i was settin it back up in the room.
Ill definetly try stayin on top of my IPM aswell altho i thought i had it under control.
Iv got a fungus an miticide pwdr/spray thats heavy on the sulphar but thought the plants were to far along to use it. Green Cleaner sounds the goods but is expensive stuff. The plants that are affected the most would be around 2.5 weeks or so into flowerin so might run the neem an natures way stuff for another week an see what happens. Cant remember if it was venus that said she has used eco neem up to week 5 or 6 without any negative side affects

Yeah man each to their own but I dont really like to spray neem after Week 3. The green cleaner is expensive but compared to the cost of losing a harvest its nothing. Good luck!

Instead of sprayin for spider mites every few

Yeah ipm takes a whike to figure it out im still figuring mine out but i think ive got there now... bomb the room and clean ot inbetween every grow and give all the plants a curtosy spray before heading into the flower room and that seems to get me through

added 100litres of compost to the soil pile and brought an extra 80l of worm castings to. I added 60 and I’ll use the other 20 to make a tea. I also added a bunch of rock dust

 

[DustyDuke]

Here’s the rock dust I used heaps better then the shit at Bunnings

I hear ya on the moving fast, finding them all over the place sure its not the worse case out there but they are on the move.. I dont see me breakin the cycle from now till harvest, slowin them down is probs me only hope. Id like to run some benificial bugs but that probably wont happen this time round so neem an that yates is all ive got to work with but would rather not have to use any pest sprays at this stage.. Ill start doin some readin about h2o2 baths on google for the worst case scenarios.

youd be surprised how well predators will be. Probably won’t eliminate them before harvest but will definitely keep their numbers down And will probably keep them low enough you won’t get webbing.

Anyone added this shit to there soil pile before. It smells fucked up but in a healthy plant way, I watered the pile with it I’ll do it a couple of times. I also added some gogo juice to the mix. I want monsters next grow this one has disappointed me.

never heard of it before. Using some marketing buzz words but because biochar is inert until it’s charged with microbes either from a concentrated source or the soil it’s mixed with. Good for drainage as well, essentially a type of charcoal so not sure what use it’d be in liquid form.

I’m soaking the soil pile with it and hopefully the microbes do there thing whilst it bakes

I did a quick google. That particular product is from vacilis gardening (or whatever), guys a bit of a hack. For $12 it’s not a huge loss I suppose. They’re trying to say it helps with germinating native species because of the wood smoke compounds

actual biochar soaked in Gogo juice would make the microbes go off in the pile. Pretty easy to make your own as well. Only need a 44 and 20l drum and some decent dry wood (hardwood is best)

I was hoping you would say that.
I was just reading about making my own! It might be a fun experiment

The plants are starting to stink it’s a nice smell between the Gelato and goofy grape it’s a fruity aroma. Not that punch you in the face skunk smell I had last run

really,

how come, you got your own issues, yet your, quite happy to highlight jzs's,

i cant talk for him but, the only reason he gets mad(i spose is)that he does post alot of pics on here all the time only to be made fun off

by a bunch of smart arses, that have smaller shrubs

any idea how much work or stress his kinda grow would give you? then at the end of the day post a pic of your hard work, to be told

ever thing you doing is wrong

Fuck man u come across as a total cock sucking bloke
I'm sure jzs can talk for himself you puppet
Just one question ?
Who laughs at his pics ? Cos I can't remember anyone laughing as such
He grows well does his own thing and isn't afraid to say what he thinks
Full credit to him for that ....

No one says he's doing it wrong ...some of us myself included have suggested ways of doing even better but that's up to him he's the one growing in that spot ....
You sound like one of those Muppets sometimes who are all voice.
