Looks like you have a really nice backyard mate. Looking forward to see how that comes along...Damn! I thought you had them beat.
Here is why I am building a giant cage in my backyard:
F@#king squirrels!
Moved all of the lumber out back:

Also, all this talk about spider mites is getting me para. I got my room setup in my garage. Its in a storage room at the back of my garage so is there a larger chance those little fucker will pay me a visit as im semi-outdoor? Also the floor in my room is concrete so it tends to get warm and dry during lights on and cold and dry during lights off! Temp doesnt fluctuate 'too much' fortunately. I try to combat the dryness with a bucket of water in the room and I also hang a large beach towel up and dampen it when it drys out. The beach towel idea I got from a random thread in RIU and it works surprisingly well.
So is it hot and humid climates that attract them or the opposite? Just read 2 opinions on this in this thread...

[/h][h=2][/h][h=1]Study: Cannabis may prevent brain damage[/h][h=2]By Laurie Tarkan
Published June 06, 2013
FoxNews.com
Marijuana continues to be a paradox as it makes its way from illicit drug to wonder medicine being used to treat a number of symptoms and disorders more safely than traditional pharmaceuticals.
In the latest news, cannabis, which has been associated with long-term cognitive deficits in chronic users, is now being tested as a treatment to preserve brain function after traumatic injury.
Amidst the many it-damages-your-brain studies, some reports have shown that cannabis has neuroprotective effects. Studies have suggested that it has protective effects in neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimers, Huntingtons and Parkinsons diseases.
The author of the new study, Dr. Yosef Sarne of Tel Aviv University's Adelson Center for the Biology of Addictive Diseases, theorized that ultra-low doses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive component of marijuana, induces minor damage to the brain, which may actually precondition the brain to protect it against more severe damage from injuries such as lack of oxygen, seizures or toxic drug exposure. In other words, it may act as a sort of vaccine against more traumatic harm.
In Dr. Sarne's animal study, published in the journals Behavioural Brain Research and Experimental Brain Research, researchers injected mice with a single, very low dose of THC around 1,000 to 10,000 times less than what is found in a conventional joint either several days before or after exposing the mice to a brain trauma.
They found that the treated mice had enhanced biochemical processes, which protected brain cells and preserved cognitive function over time, compared to control mice that were not treated with THC. Specifically, when the mice were examined three to seven weeks after the brain injury, those in the THC group performed better in learning and memory tests. They also showed increased amounts of neuroprotective chemicals compared to the control group.
In past laboratory experiments, Sarnes group found that ultra-low doses of THC affected cell signaling, preventing cell death and promoting certain growth factors.
The researchers concluded that the use of low doses of THC can prevent long-term cognitive damage that results from brain injury in mice, but the drug needs to be tested in human trials.
Since we deal, in this case, in a basic process (THC is protective against a variety of insults, not just a specific condition), I personally believe it will go beyond rodents, Sarne wrote in an email.
Aside from treating patients with traumatic injury to the brain, Sarne suggested several ways of using THC preventively, before an injury occurs.
One use could be for patients on cardiopulmonary heart-lung machines used in open heart surgery. These come with a risk of interrupting the blood supply to the brain. Sarne said that THC could be injected beforehand as a preventive measure in case the brain is deprived of oxygen.
It could also be tested for use in patients such as those with epilepsy, who are at constant risk of brain injury, or those with a high risk of heart attack.
Sarne is currently testing the ability of low doses of THC to prevent heart damage during a heart attack, to prevent the death of heart muscle cells that are deprived of oxygen.

Here is a great site for pest control ideas - University of California at Davis - it's an agricultural university in the heart of California's agricultural mecca.

They have a cool trap for earwigs - tuna can with vegetable oil and a drop of tuna oil or bacon grease!
Thanks ShazMo - I am working on it - the pool is in a state, but someday I will get it re-plastered and tiled.
Cheers,

I grow successfully in soil and don't own a ph meter. If your soil is of reasonable quality, then it doesn't need ph'ing.....that's for hydro. cof

I am new to MJ growing , but not to gardening Its bin my Experience to make what you think is the best soil mix to start with so you don't have a problems latter after your plants are rooted and growing. I make up a mix of regular cheep bag of ace potting soil, 5 Ib brick of reconstituted coco coir fiber ( coconut husks ground up) which is equal to the 1 1/2 cf bag of potting soil, about 1/2 gallon perlite and 2 1/2 cups of Dolomite lime to cover your ass on any PH issues plus it has a natural Calcium and magnesium value to it. I have never had a ph issue ever. I don't reuse my soils either . there are other mixes people use that are probably as good or better finding one that works best for you is the goal ....... good luck mate !

It's mostly a miracle grow mix with perlite and good topsoil I've been growing outdoors with mg soil with great results but now indoor I wanna try to put as much care in it as I can and bein new to advanced nutes an ph water and soil I want to make the best of it my babies are looking great I jus want them to be to there highest quality

Amidst the many “it-damages-your-brain” studies, some reports have shown that cannabis has neuroprotective effects. Studies have suggested that it has protective effects in neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
The author of the new study, Dr. Yosef Sarne of Tel Aviv University's Adelson Center for the Biology of Addictive Diseases, theorized that ultra-low doses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive component of marijuana, induces minor damage to the brain, which may actually “precondition” the brain to protect it against more severe damage from injuries such as lack of oxygen, seizures or toxic drug exposure.

Looks very nice Mo! And yesh, that is a great site. I look for answers on many university ag websites... solid solid info.
Here you say you want to raise it.
Not to mention your average soil ph meter is not very accurate. A healthy soil is very good at buffering ph. I can regularly feed aact that test 8+ in ph with no issues,,, they do quite well actuallyI grow successfully in soil and don't own a ph meter. If your soil is of reasonable quality, then it doesn't need ph'ing.....that's for hydro.
The key to regulating ph when making your own soil from scratch is keeping an eye on the calcium % of everything your adding in,,, calcium is what raises your ph and you will have issues with high ph before you run into any kind of Ca toxicity.
Now you say you need to lower it.
I suggest doing inside whatever you did outside if you had success. Adding all that extra shit is going to over complicate things, and dont get me started on advanced nutes.
Also, no point in making a nice living soil if you''ll be drenching it in chemical ferts.
I say either go with the bottle ferts and an inert medium, or build a living soil. If using synthetics ph regulation is a must IMO,,, in a healthy soil its a none issue.

Cheers to the 600! I really appreciate all the help so far, especially with the problems from a week or so ago. Here's an update. I am about 5.5 weeks into 12/12. I'm thinking about another 5 to 6 weeks, at least. Think that timeframe is about right? Thoughts from what you see so far? I think they've gotten better, or at least not worse, from the earlier problems. I've not given nutes for a week now, have watered twice. Anyway, these are from seed, sprouted 3/26.
