Cool, well it does say that is eco friendly and doesn't kill plants, was just a bit para about drenching my roots with it. But will give it a go on my next water....thanx T!!!

I am trying to let everything dry out first as my watering schedule has gone a bit astray....some wet, some dry, etc. I am also looking at getting an airco for the cupboard, and going to extend the space a bit outwards...today we have mad gales here (one of my climbing trellis' was blown down) so I don't fancy hauling an airco system back from the shop on my bike May be tomorrow...

yes its 100% organic and has been used for 100's of years.
Neem Oil.

Formulations made of Neem oil also find wide usage as a bio-pesticide for organic farming, as it repels a wide variety of pests including the mealy bug, beet armyworm, aphids, the cabbage worm, thrips, whiteflies, mites, fungus gnats, beetles, moth larvae, mushroom flies, leafminers, caterpillers, locust, nematodes and the Japanese beetle. Neem Oil is not known to be harmful to mammals, birds, earthworms or some beneficial insects such as butterflies, honeybees and ladybugs. It can be used as a household pesticide for ant, bedbug, cockroach, housefly, sand fly, snail, termite and mosquitoes both as repellent and larvicide (Puri 1999). Neem oil also controls black spot, powdery mildew, anthracnose and rust (fungus).


it has a host of uses and can be found pretty much anywhere with a reputable garden center

Cheers T, I have only read good things about Neem oil.....finding it in Holland has been a bitch so far...but I continue to hunt for it. Seems like the nectar to have.

damn, i thought it was ll over, world wide..mybe try online.. it works great and doesnt affect the plants at all.

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

im debating whether to stop feeding 3 weeks before harvest, which would mean i just give the oldest plants in my perpetual cycle plain water/molasses/carb supplement.

 

[DST]

Any reason why T?

I feed constantly up to the last week, then flush once and then another water.

I hate spider mites, usually when i get those and my plants are infected, i just start over. But good luck, keep fighting the good fight, just dont put ur new ladies into flowering until you know you killed them all..

thx for stopping by, luckily i caught these assholes before it got too bad. i've been dealing with mites on and off since i started growing.

i figured i should either be flushing or giving plain water the last two weeks. but since im running 3 week cycles i was just going to do the older plants (the last 3 weeks) plain water. but i guess it would make more sense that i give it more nutes just to juice it up huh ?

what would you do ?

I have only grown in coco so do the last flush when I am going into the last week (previously I had flushed 2 1/2 weeks and then water fed - real difference IMO with bud weight. Is Foxfarm soil that you use organic as well? If so flush late I would say....

After my flush I sometimes don't even bother watering them, just let them take up as much of whats available - also helps in drying I think. But then I was also thinking next run to do a cold flush on the last day.

Personally I just like giving them ferts up to as late as I can....this is when they are sucking the life out of the leaves etc, so why not. If it's organic ferts then the dry and cure process will rid you of any taste left...

I read on RIU a while back about someone who doesn't flush, but last day they cut at the base of the plant, then hang the plant in a bucket of water with the bottom of the stem in the water- this effectively flushes the plant.....

At the moment I am thinking, if something works, don't change it....because everything I have changed has gone wrong....but then you learn by your mistakes.

very true@ the last part. i guess ill stick to one flush.. and then plain water for the rest of th ride. i didnt flush my first grow and i did the second, and i noticed the difference.

No real updates. Spider mites are gone. still growing strong. i havn't been on too much, had a helluva week, and i lost on of my dogs last tuesday. so i've been looking for another one. and i broke a whole fuckin branch off my ssd. oh well .. my wife thinks i broke it on purpose.

I am saying nothing, branch snapping by accident...mmmmmmnnnnn Looks like it will still be some good fire.

Really sorry to hear about your dog! Hope all works out for you T!

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

everything'll work out, i'm cool about the dog cuz i get new one. spider mites are gone, i broke a branch but you kno the plus side to that.

something i forgot to mention is i sorta tied ll my branches in a position that they are reaching for the light. do u think this will increase flowering time?

 

[DST]

I can't imagine it would increase flower time T.

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

i figured it might stress them a little.

 

[DST]

if tying them is anything lie lst or super cropping, then I would think it would be good for them.......it should strengthen the branches having any resistence against them - IMO

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

well, i hope not.
im so ready to get these older ones out(stage 3's) so i can start moving in more, smaller plants per cycle.

anyways some pics

the first two are of the ssd that is on week 3.5
the other is of an ssd that i cut during week two of the plants i have at 6.5/7.5 weeks.. notice how the tric's are all over it. u think it'll keep growin like that. or will those trichs mature ?

 

[DST]

I love that 2nd pic T, awesome. I remember taking cuttings 2 weeks into flower and the cutting formed a calyx and had a couple of white hairs, but eventually went back into veg growth so not sure if the trichs will continue like that....would be interesting to see though for sure.

Thanks for the pic update mang!

I agree with DST... That 2nd pic is luscious.
