    HELP!!! Greenhouse grow mites are back!!! flower week 4

    Ive read that the chemicals on those strips are pretty bad, I personally wouldnt use them. Im a big believer in doing things as natural and organic as possible. I think the key with using the garlic is finding a good concentration and maybe rinsing it off shortly after. The day I sprayed it...

    HELP!!! Greenhouse grow mites are back!!! flower week 4

    Yea my problem is on a much smaller scale also, I would prob go with what your doing as well. Small update, all the mites are gone for now, but I think I should have rinsed all the garlic off as it appears to have damages the hairs on the whole plant as well as some leaves. I rinsed it down...

    HELP!!! Greenhouse grow mites are back!!! flower week 4

    Today I sprayed my 6'x6' bush down with the garlic dishsoap solution and it seems to have killed all the mites, I did a total of about 2-3 gallons after 3x today. It appears all the mites are gone for now, I wont be able to comment on bud taste for a while but will definitely let you know. from...

    HELP!!! Greenhouse grow mites are back!!! flower week 4

    My 1000w Hps Killer

    hlg185h c1400b are my drivers per 4 cxb3590 36v. I would run more I would to 8 at 700ma if I had the money for all those cobs lol....@ 4per driver @1.4a its 56% efficiency as opposed to 64% at 700ma. 8% difference and huge price diff, so for me its the happy medium value point

    My 1000w Hps Killer

    Look forward to seeing it haha. What you could do is small 6"x6" heat sinks for each cob and build and aluminum housing for all of it, would def cut weight and id have to think cost also, just more labor intensive

    My 1000w Hps Killer

    Thats why I opted for the 5.88" also, I prefer passively cooled and since I have tents with inline fans hooked up, you get lots of air flow anyways. I personally dont mind the extra weight to have more security against failure and better cooling efficiency. All in all the only draw back if any...

    My 1000w Hps Killer

    LOL well, from what the more experienced ppl told me on here the 5.8" profile has a thicker base and fins for better heat dissipation. I do wish they were a bit lighter in weight. But hey if they dont work I can build a bridge ;P The 4.8" should be solid and work fine, you will have to put fans...

    My 1000w Hps Killer

    Im doing the 36v If you wan you can try the 4.85" wide heatsink its much cheaper slightly thinner and will need a fan. I have to the 5.8 is pricey, but its one heavy ass chunk of aluminum, the whole thing is pretty meaty, fins are thick and strong wont bend or flex at all.

    soil problem with pictures

    We are kind of trained to think mold is bad, but that may or may not be mold, but what it definitely is...is a fungus. Everytime I mix my own soil and cook it, I get a nice layer of that on the top and mix it all up before my grow. In the beginning i bugged out and i put hyrdrogen peroxide on it...
