Buy some blue trap.it is sticky and attract those f.....g flys. (Thrips! ?)
Do something because if you let them do their life...they are going to be hundreds in your box, and then you will have big troubles with the leaves
KILL THEM ALL!

Nice work on that scrog net too.
It's probably the sturdiest frame I've ever built. I can stand on it. I'm not small.... The wire was nice and cheap and it's plastic coated. If one becomes loose it's strung individualy so I just loosen 2 screws and replace that string. Collapses by removing only 8 screws. I impressed myself tbh lol

Bonjour
Could you remind me the size and how many soil in your pots?
And why topped the plants? Why not just band it and crunch the extremities (sorry I don't know the English for this!) To control your plant, have multiple main bud (apex?)...same results without hurting the plants and loose few days before she restart normal grow!
I'm interested in your pov...
Have a great day ★

I have 4 in 11ltr smart pots, and 2 in roughly 5ltr plastic pots. I'm using regular compost and roughly 30% perlite. I will be using dutch pro nutes, reason I topped as I wanna encourage the lower growth so I get as even a canopy as possible. This is more trial and error then anything, I'm only growing for me so have no real targets. I'm aiming for 1-2z a plant. If it happens then great. I can do it again. I don't even know if these are all girls yet.

I'm in UK so we use metric measurements anyway, I just get used to used imperial online as there are more Americans on here. Have u ever heard of main lining, think it's called something else now. I did it to an ak48 I was growing a few years back and I got 4 x 1/2z colas. If I had more time available I would be doing a lot more training with the plants, next time round I will be switching to dwc as I prefer the growth rates

Ok
Low Stress Training...lst is my cup of tea...lol
I love England...peoples, humor, party...and Clarkson, May and Hammond(they hate them in alabama...lol) best tv show!
English food...not really...but English cookies...the best! There's a lot of English in a town close to mine...you don't need to speak french in Antibes...it is like a piece of England on french Riviera!!!

I have used lst successfully in the past. It would have worked well in my space. I am probably not gonna get full use of my scrog screen this time round. Next time I will only be growing 2 plants so I can use the scrog properly. This grow is on a time restriction, plus I get 6 monthly house inspections. I have one due just after Xmas so I need this one grown chopped and dried by then. I like England, I have left twice and got homesick and come back lol. They are gonna be debating soon whether to legalise weed or not so here's hoping

I rent from a housing association. All they do is come and see if I need any major work done or if I am damaging the property, the actual home owner comes once every 5 years. They don't look around at much but just in case don't really want a grow in the cupboard lol

Ok so just ordered 3 vero 29s from digikey, boy do they ask a lot of questions, they wanted to know what I was using the lights for. Is that not a little too much info to provide especially living where it's illegal to grow.

Are you kidding??? I didn't see Jerry ask why you need cxb...lol
And what did you answer???
Unbelievable...maybe a customer service...an investigation...you know...
But because we use it the way we use it...it sounds suspicious...lol
Have a great day ★
