I will be spraying the plants today with floromite again. The lights are at 28" above the plants. Should I raise the lights all the way up to the ceiling for a few hours while I saturate the hell out of the leaves???
Also, Mob Barely, That is one great idea you have with the spider mites. If a frequency will work. Make a device, patent it, and market it. It could make millions. I could help on this pm me if you wish.. Please let me know if you think I should raise the lights for spraying..
yes, raise the lights until the plants get a chance to dry out. otherwise the leaves will burn. :blsmoke:

or do it just before "lights out".

I am currently looking into making a sonic device that mites hate just like a cat/rat sonic repeller.
The sonic frequencies will make sure you never get any mites coming in and if they do they will soon leave.
When i find the right frequencies i let you all know.
Testing is done with an infested tomoato plants to see which ultra sonics they hate.
Before i get shot to bits for saying this mites have loads of minute hairs all over the body if we can get them to constantly buzz so to speak they will hate it just as we would hate it to have to listen to high pitch noise 24/7.
Wow...this I gotta see:blsmoke:

hey to all is just basically this kind of thing with a different freqency being played
if i crack the code of spider mites samplitude frequncy i will release details for free to all

Ultrasonic Youth deterrent for shops and homes Compound Security Systems Mosquito

i notice that there is already these but i dont know if they will annoy mites but they work on normal spiders by agitating their body hair so maybe this is already done idea as i have ont purchased a unit i dont know if it works on any kind of spider or just certain ones



This battery operated state-of-the-art electronic device is specially designed to repel ticks, fleas, beetles and spiders (up to 6 metres operational radius).
Unlike humans and mammals with more sophisticated and complex hearing organs, insects and spiders respond to ultrasonic soundwaves through antennae, wings, body hairs and rudimentry eardrums. These mechanical vibrations trigger neural impulses to cause behavioural modification. This affects food consumption, reproduction, communication and other biological factors. Pests eventually leave because of the abnormal environment they are exposed to.

  • Ideal gift for arachnophobics
  • Use whilst grooming you pet to remove fleas
  • People, cats and dogs can't hear it

i would sell it, patent it and then contact all the seed companys, and even write to all the cannabis mags. get some publicity. and sell it, sounds like a good idea, i used one of them mosquito rep. things,that takes batts. dont know if it worked, but i had no probs.
go for it.

Sonic barrier...Sounds great...

Yeah Trenton, if you sprayed those ladies down while the light was on, I will personaly track you down and choke you out! Don't f-up now! Just like Fdd suggested, spray right before the lights kick off, or, like I do, put on my green light headlamp and spray right after the light kicks off. GL

Ok I raised the lights 4 feet above the plants and fully saturated all 60. (took about 1 hour). Then I turned the light off for about an hour. Turned all lights back on again. Leaves are all dry but I do notice some minor burning on many leaves. Leaves are dry now so I am lowering light back to 30" above plants. Is the minor burning going to affect my plant or even worse yield. They will get better right.:cry:.. If I have to do it again I will do it with all lights off.

they will get better. i had to damn near kill my plants to kill my mites. it was one or the other. the plants suffered but pulled thru as the winner. they just needed an extra week of veg time to recover. :blsmoke:

It going on day 11 now. height of plants is between 8-14 inches. When should I switch to flower. Should I let them all hit 2 feet first?

i'd let them get at least 2 feet. then remove all the branches below 8". then flip 'em. something like this only bigger.

Those actually look much taller than 2 feet. Also, when you cut off the bottom 8". Does that put the plant into any kind of shock?

those plants where 18" when they went into flower. that pics was the day before. i notice no stress when i prune.


my buddy does the same thing......

Ok. I can do that. What is the average yield you are getting per plant when you cut the bottom 8" off (I know the point of focus is just on the top colas). Also, do you ever use CO2. I have everything but that. Thanks.

my buddy has a 4 X 8 flood and drain. he took a couple lbs to the club and they were amazed at how well the buds looked. they all kept saying it was the CO2. funny thing was, he didn't use any. he is now but personally i don't see that big of difference. so far out of a dozen crops his biggest was the first with no CO2.
 
Wow that is some heavy pruning, makes me want to go do some snipping.

Co2 can give you a big yield increase, but it maybe hard to keep enough co2 in the air with such a big area. Unless of course you want to dish out some more $$$ for a generator and a co2 control panel.

If you have the money... go for it.

Are you doing this all to get the best yield... if so I know some people don't like them but using bloom boosters for the first 2 weeks and the last 2 weeks before flushing has always boosted my buds a lot too. Co2 & some plant crack... the way to apple sized colas

he removes the lower branches as much for mildew control as well as yield. i removed mine because i was vegging under floros and i had low light conditions. i've seen people prune and not prune. it may take a few grows to determine what works best for you. :peace:
