    Spider mites: You don't know, now you know!

    Hello everyone, I have been experiencing spider mite problems and have spent days researching a way to eliminate them. I came across the post below originally authored by TRIX. I hope it helps.:hump: Soooo did some research, much of which may already be posted here somewhere but either way...

    OB Cron: Thanks for the advice, it definitely wouldn't hurt to try adding sand to the pot. Those strain names are hilarious. I'll be the first one in line to pick up a few cuttings, "Attack of the Clones"!:clap:

    Hard to say if it's working or not but I'm a little wary about spraying solution on plants that I'll be smoking in about a month regardless if it comes from an organic source. From what I've read the sprays work well but never totally eliminate the problem whereas the preditor mites eat all of...

    I've done a lot of reading on spider mite solutions and I'm considering going to my local grow shop to pick up some preditor mites:twisted:. Anyone ever used them and if so did they do the trick?

    SPIDER MITES!!!! I donated my extra clones to a local medical marijuana club today. The first thing they said when I put them on the table is "You've got a bad spider mite problem". They recommended that I use Zero Tolerance, anyone ever heard of it or used it? I just used a 50% solution on...

    It's pretty tight back there but here's a pic of the material.

    Gypsy, Sounds like my heat problem isn't as big of an issue as I thought. You're right when you say it could be an airflow issue. I have some material over the intake holes to help block out light. If you're familiar with the pull down sun shades people put on their car windows for their...

    I keep my clone bucket running 24/7 but I've read that If you can get your hands on a timer with minute intervals its best to run the bucket 5 minutes ON, 2 minutes OFF. That way the clones aren't being wated constantly but the bucket is not off long enough to dry out the clones. Supposedly...

    IGLAW: Have you changed out your water? I had almost immediate results after I changed mine. 3 weeks seems like way too long but I guess as long as the cuttings are still alive and healthy it won't hurt to leave them there until they finally root.

    Day 21 of flowering: A lot has happened in the last week. I’m still fighting with heat issues daily:wall: but I think that I have a good heat defense system now; it’s called keeping the garage door open during the cool night hours. I relocated the squirrel cage fan from the top compartment...

    Holy F-Bomb, I think you have the absolutely funniest avatar and screen name that I've seen! Mad Props OB Cron, may the Bud be with you! :bigjoint: When I signed up with the lame ID jrp677 I had no idea that I would one day be actually growing and participating in forum conversation. Is there...

    Purple Outdoor Grow 2009! Pictures!

    Axelbro, From the pic it looks like you have the top pulled down far below the side growth, the purpose of LST is to train your entire plant to grow at the same height. The only thing I would recommend is either let up a little on what you have tied down OR also tie down the side growth to make...

    Flower - 7 weeks 3 days

    I'm also in the middle of my first grow. According to what I've read, its normal for the fan leaves to start dying in the last couple of weeks of flowering. If you haven't started your flush you may want to get on that pretty soon. Good Luck. :peace: OUT!

    who's fucking wit cheez??????

    What up. I bought a QP of cheese and it was absolutely the stinkiest bud I've ever smoked:o. I can't imagine fighting the odor come harvest time but its a great smoke with a connoisseur like flavor. IMO a good smoke if you don't want to leave the house any time soon.:dunce:

    new grow room 250w or 400w hps?

    That's an excellent idea!:clap: I'm going to move things around tomorrow. If you wouldn't mind, I'd really appreciate it if you would also follow my grow journal. I haven't had anyone offer any good advice on my heat issue and it would be great to have a pro to turn to when problems come up...

    new grow room 250w or 400w hps?

    I think I'm going to try hooking up an axial fan in the 4" passive intake hole to help draw the air out of the flower room. When I close the doors the axial fans in the other chambers spin from the suction so I thought for sure the 465 CFM fan would be powerful enough on its own. Hey, sorry...
