    I'm growing OG Blueberry myself, and this will be my personal MJ. I've tried various Blueberry and this one is the best IMO as far as taste, smell, & potency. The other two would be Mendocino County Purp & Opium. The Mendocino County Purp is rare & strong. It makes for a more profitable...

    24/0 vs. 18/6 debate is over!!!!

    Hi everyone, I'm what you might called an advanced newbie on his first grow and I though I'd just throw in my 2 cents. Let me first say that I did a lot of research along the way including reading many published scientific studies about increasing the potency of MJ. There are several growing...

    Any good dirt recipes?

    If fungus gnats were the only problem you faced with Miracle Grow then you've been lucky. I've seen some horror stories. It's not a good idea to use anything with time released nutes. Fox Farm Ocean Forrest is a solid all around soil. It's pH'd at 7.0 and you wont have to feed your girls for...

    No one can really tell you how many CFLs you're going to need. It's all based on surface area, so the bigger your plants get the more you'll need. There's a formula to figure it out here https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/40884-buds-less-cfl-book.html That's a good thread to learn about CFL...

    HELP identifying pest pls +pic

    Neem oil is a good start, but thrips don't do that kind of damage. The White Mite can't bite through a mature cell wall (the skin) of your mature leaves. So it first injects a toxin to break down the cell membranes. After they finish feeding the toxin keeps working until it exhausts itself...

    Spider Mites! Help!

    There are 2 tittles under your name. The one on the bottom is determined by the number of posts you make. The one on top is determined mostly by the +reps you get. +reps are generally given when someone gives you a piece of info that you need and it's to show appreciation for their effort. To...

    Hey, I lived in Clearwater for about 15 years, small world :D You'll love it out here except for the bitter cold. Most of the time it's not too bad but some days you just want to stay in doors. The rents are cheaper, the gas is cheaper, and living in general is cheaper than it was in...

    You can find hurrican glass at your local Michaels, or most other hobby stores. You should be able to find one for under $10 that will fit over your entire bulb. That may solve the problem. You have a strong fan, but if there's too much duct then you may have to add another fan. Also, placing...

    Hello everyone. I'm an "advanced Newbie" and I just dealt with my first triple infestation. Along the way I learned a lot. There are 2 things that I learned about that every grower should know....... 1 - This is a web site run by the FL Dept of Agriculture and the Univ of S FL Dept of...

    Help!help!help! Spider mites are trying to take over!

    If you're two weeks from harvest it's too late for predatory mites. Predatory mites have to build a colony before they'll start to take over, and that takes time which you don't have. Mite Destroyers or Pirate Bugs are a better option, they go to work right away & don't need to build a colony...

    BUg problem

    They can be Fungus Gnats or White Flies. Either way they lay eggs in the soil and when the eggs hatch & mature they start to fly around. Fly strips are a good idea to catch the flyers. Also you can put a layer of sand on top of the soil 1 to 2 inches thick. This will trap the larvae as they...

    HELP identifying pest pls +pic

    Looks like they might be White Mites, there are two varieties that eat larger plants (most only eat simple plant life, like algae). You can find info on them here http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/orn/broad_mite.htm http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/orn/cyclamen_mite.htm Here's...

    Spider Mite Control

    Found a vital tool in the fight against mites. It's a petroleum based suffocant, and it kills eggs. It may or may not kill 100% of the eggs, but it's the only thing that will kill eggs, and the mites can't become immune to it. I'd recommend using it on every treatment in conjunction with...

    Dam white bugs are back again. +rep for help

    Found something, a petroleum based suffocant, and it's made by Bonide which is a name I trust. They make the Mite X, so I'm sure it's safe to use on plants. To be on the safe side, I'll just spray a leaf first & see if there's any damage. You should also treat with the lights off since it's an...

    Spider Mites! Help!

    I found something good for you. Petroleum based products can kill the eggs, it's the only thing that can. I think I may have already mentioned that. But I found a petroleum based suffocant made by Bonide, here are some links. http://www.bonideproducts.com/lbonide/b ... s/l214.pdf...

    Yeah, if someone flags it, they'll usually remove it. Just some jerk looking to be their jerky selves. lol Best way to keep it from happening is to make sure you say MMJ and that you'll only deal with people who are licensed & have a picture ID. Are you looking to buy or sell clones? As...

    LMAO....... I lost cable TV when I switched from Comcast to Qwest (there's an obstruction to the S that I can't get around so direct TV isn't an option) so I'm watching Battle Star Galactica season 4.5. The Admiral & Prsident are smoking a blunt in the hospital. lol I'm really starting to...

    Spider Mites! Help!

    That's really not even the half of it. Just 1 unfertilized female can get the ball rolling all by herself. Mites can lay unfertilized eggs, those eggs will be male 100% of the time. So an unfertilized famale can find her way into a grow room, lay some eggs, and 6 to 8 days later she has males...

    No problem. I'll return to searching for a petroleum based suffocant next week & I'll post a link if I find anything. Please be sure to do the same. 2 heads are better than 1.
