Thanks I forgot. I heavily foliar sprayed with Organocide once last week after noticing
a stippling pattern similar to that of thrips. Never actually saw a pest but the markings
were pretty clear so better safe than sorry. There are several products out there which
contain Spinosad, which do you use? Monterey seems to be the most popular. I have a
bottle of Monterey as well as Einstein Oil chilling on my shelf in case I need to go nuclear.
Otherwise the Organocide is cheap, effective and is basically 100% soy, sesame, and fish
oils. It smells fishy but is awesome. They've never really caused me detrimental problems
either. I always say "at least they're not mites."

I've used the 'Bonide' brand 'Colorado Potato Beetle Beater' which contains a 0.5% mixture of spinosyn A and spinosyn D. Only thing my shop had in stock that had spinosad, but seems to be very effective on thrips. They also list it for moths, leaf miners, armyworms, various beetles, leafrollers, even fruit fly suppression. Pretty versatile product.

.5% Spinosad A & D is the same as Monterey, good to know.

The ladies as of today






I've been cultivating the coco after each feeding to keep it from compacting.

Today I did a foliar feeding of my Sonic Bloom solution. It's the bomb. Everything is derived from seaweeds and over 70 complex
amino acids.


Also did some pruning and topping today, thought I'd show off my biology kit.

Are u using the CD with the sonic bloom? Lol I have heard about the research of effects of sound on plants. Convinced me enough to stick a boombox in my space and tuned the classical station.

Stepped in to the finest warehouse I've been to last night. It was a dream. In Fort Collins
so production had to be stopped but at one point it was a 100% sealed environment clean
room. We're going to be working to seal it back up and set it up as a vegetable/herb garden
and sell produce to local grocers.

Tomorrow is week 3 day 7 of veg so I decided to turn on the HPS tonight and plan transplanting in to 5 gallons on tuesday.





Average plant is about 12 inches. Shortest being 9, tallest being 14. Topped every one multiple times
really trying to bush these ladies.

Yea I train the plants in all different ways. Fim, topping, some LST, supercropping. Whatever the situation calls for, I'm really trying to keep my canopy like a table top.

I love your room. Also, I liked the room you posted in Ft. Collins. How many lights and watts were they running in that setup?

Thanks bud.

As for the room in Fo Co. The room pictured is the flowering room, it is equipped with 10,000 watts but
has the capacity, HVAC and power ready to run a 30,000 watt flower room. Basically by replicating the same
setup on either side in the same room. A second AC unit will be installed on the opposite side of the other pictured
between the steel struts on the wall. The Veg room is about 5,000 watts.

We are going to be installing the other 20,000 watts and running a lot of shelving around the sides starting January.
Small herbs under T5's on the shelves and larger crops under the HIDs.

Average plant is 15 inches today. I've got a few shoots hitting the 16 inch mark, with a few just short around the 14.

I fed the plants an EC of 1.3, pH 6.0 today.

All in all I'm making a pretty solid canopy and it should get really thick when I flower.



I still haven't transplanted, and the tentative date is now Monday. Which will be week 5 day 1 veg.

I'll give them a week to grow in to the 5 gallon pots and flip them on december 3rd.
