FYI pm will spread so a milk wash is a must
Thanks guys! I will do the skim milk diluted wash tomorrow afternoon!FYI pm will spread so a milk wash is a must
Just go real light on the milk... like one part milk to ten parts water. Mix it in a spray bottle mister (preferably like the pump kind that creates an ultra-fine mist), and gently mist over all the leaves, concentrated and even wetting the areas that show white powder. Like everything else, if you use your common sense, this method should control your pm and not harm the characteristics of your buds. Also, you should note that you're just spraying with milk and water and not a harsh chemical. Meaning it's not going to eradicate the PM with just one treatment. You'll see an improvement with treatment, but watch out as it will re-appear again and so you have to repeat misting every so often to control the mildew. Remember, the milk is just an effective means of controlling it and keeping it in check, because really, nothing can completely eradicate an airborne spore... short of killing your plants. You can only control it. Milk is a safe way to go. Don't worry if you develop white calcium residue on your leaves from repeated milk spray treatments. It can't be helped, and it's better than mildew...Ya thanks LordJin! I was just reading about it and I was going to use either milk or baking soda mixture. I think I am going to use the skim milk approach tomorrow, I didnt want anything to change the smell or the taste of the buds, but I think the milk should be just fine.
I know that a SCROG with 4-5 plants in this tent using 2 500 watters would give me the highest yield. But I just wanted to get a quick cycle in my new setup before my summer trip. When I get back I can really determine what I am going to do. I also have to see how much each plant yields before I make my decision. I really love the mobility of growing this way I must admitt. I can take the plants out, stake em, trim em, flush em really simply. I still would go with two units Indian lung. For that 4 x 4 tent your going to need two lights. I think a 4 x4 SCROG with 4 plants with your 240 and 500 setup would be on point! Make sure to post your grow journal once you start.Sleezy, now that you got your buds going and starting to almost see the end result, do you wish you went scrog on this grow or do you feel the addition of the other 500watt would make you stick with sog?
Thanks Hellraizer and Lordjin! The milk sure does my plants good! One application and a few hours later shows a huge difference! If those pesky mold comes back I know what to do now!milk does a plant good lol
Don't worry about hurting the buds with the milk spray. The buds are pure resin/oil factories -- a little milk/water mist cannot harm them. I've sprayed directly on buds before. They like it.Thanks Hellraizer and Lordjin! The milk sure does my plants good! One application and a few hours later shows a huge difference! If those pesky mold comes back I know what to do now!
You can mix hid and led?Those buds are lookin great bro. I just got a 150 hps off ebay for 30 bucks ima pair it with a 240 blackstar. Still waitin on it though gotta get a tent, but your grow has deffinately given me confidence in led growing. Your gettin way more bud than most people to. It looks like blackstar really is the shit in led growing. Anyway man keep up the good work ima keep my eye on it til harvest. How much longer you gonna let them go?
July 26th is the target date (Day 60). I need a week to dry, then a few days to cure and burp before Im gone Aug 5th-13th. Thanks for the confidence! Journal up your blackstar/HID light grow.Those buds are lookin great bro. I just got a 150 hps off ebay for 30 bucks ima pair it with a 240 blackstar.

I guess? I have browsed thru a couple grow journals using both. Should be interesting..You can mix hid and led?
Did not know that. That IS interesting.There are a lot of documented hid/led grows out there.
