    Humidity and Spider Mites?

    Update : A friend is going to pick up a Hotshot No Pest Strip for me tonight. And if that fails I'll ask another friend to take me to get it tomorrow. They will also have to place it for me as I am deathly sick and most chems are poisonous to me. ( Come over in the morning and place it in...

    Humidity and Spider Mites?

    Some say higher humidity retards their growth while others say the opposite....which is it ? I'm fighting an outbreak ( infected clone from dispensary ) and have to finish this crop as I can't grow in the summer months ( due to heat even with AC running 24 / 7 just to keep me cool..much less...

    Help! Spider Mites in Final Weeks

    You guys don't need to fight. I'm not about to use any chemicals on my plants...soil and nutes are organic...so are the teas. And I'm am not about to stick my buds into anything to remove the toxins from something...if a normal two week flush doesn't solve it...I am sure as hell not going...

    Help! Spider Mites in Final Weeks

    I've got 3 to 4 weeks left but my spider mite problem is getting way out of hand. Tried ladybugs..worthless. Using alcohol and water to keep them down ( it does kill them but you have to keep it up ) Does not affect plant...not even buddage. The pistols don't even seem to mind. Worried...

    40 Days into Flowering, Fan Leaves Browning and Dying

    I have a 15 gallon tub that I use for regular watering. ( No nutes ) It's in the grow tent and I add water as needed....but I keep goldfish and snails in there. They keep the water at about 6.4 PH ( along with the algae build up ) and my plants just love it..fish poop. algae etc. I still check...

    Did I just fry my hood fan ?

    It turned out to be just ice build up..perfect conditions of humidity and cold. Ran a bypass duct so I can open and close the hood fan ducting to inside air or outside air or combination of both. Combination is working best..not too cold but cold enough to cool the light. I live at almost...

    Did I just fry my hood fan ?

    When I went into my grow room about an hour ago, I noticed the hood fan was not running and it was actually frosted on the bottom of the fan housing and moisture galore dripped from the outside of the hose. ( From the Bathroom in take all the way to way to the fan housing..maybe 5 feet. )...

    Just spotted spidermites 2 week of flower

    Rubbing alcohol mixed with equal parts water...or even 3 parts water to 1 Isopropyl alcohol ( Rubbing ) will kill them. It does not harm the plant as the alcohol evaporates real fast. I used that at first and am now using Ladybugs in a CEA tent...at out local nursery it is only 20 bucks for...

    Lady bugs do kill spider mites don't they ?

    I'm going to try lady bugs until next weekend and then decide course of action. The bugs I got day before yesterday ( first bug batch started last Saturday ) seem to be more active, even though half were DOA. I got a few plants with 20 or more on them. I turned off the room exhaust fan to...

    Low humidity = Low odor ?

    Nope...only the lights. I want the smell ! I don't care about odor control. I have a killer Light Bulb that eliminates smell. But there is no smell to eliminate. I should have put Low Yield also in the topic heading. \ This last harvest blew in comparison to some others due to low...

    Is it okay to put plants under cfl and sun in the day

    Take advantage of the sun as long as you can. No light on the market can replace the spectrum of the sun. I do it all the time for my clones during veg...8 hours of sun and the rest artificial.

    Low humidity = Low odor ?

    I've been growing for 2 years and grow pretty good smoke..nice crystals..fat sticky buds. Except there is no real smell to them...none of that walk into the house and your blown away by the dead skunk. Even in harvesting there is no real over powering smell. I mean there is some..but nothing eye...

    Controlling PH for Hydroponics/Aeroponics

    I wish... When your set up is clean and new it does...but as salts build up in the medium it can change. You would have to flush it thoroughly every week or so and add new nutes to hit the that magic number. 5.5 to 5.7 I used Advanced Nutrients and for the most part is stable...but some days...

    What evidence do the police need to raid a house in the UK?

    Depends on where you live. If you live in a state where it's legal don't worry about it...just keep the smell down to keep unwanted visitors away. ( Curious teenagers etc ) Glade plug ins work great...stay with Vanilla or Coffee..Caramel works good too. If not, keep it small. odor free, no...
