Hey guys,
So not much has happened since the last update.
So far the mites have been controlled (knock on wood) by alternating-weekly applications of Mighty Wash and h2o with Tabasco. I also began feeding the ladies with the General Organics line and have seen some growth, nothing to be wow'd over.
Two of the three jacks haven't grown much since I first acquired them, anyone have any ideas as to why?
Temps in my city have started to go down, which has been godsend for my garden and wallet. I was advised to purchase an AC unit, however, because I want/need a dual hose AC unit, I am still saving my pennies. Temps for the last couple weeks have been 75-81 (on average) during lights ON and 65-75 on lights OFF. rH has been all over the wall, as low as 20% during lights on to as high as 60% during a recent rain shower.
I have been doing a lot of reading lately. I recently picked up Teaming with Microbes by Jeff Lowenfels. It is a MUST read for all soil growers, IMO.
Also, I came across a couple of threads/posts which dissuade the usage of an air stone to aerate the h20+GO nutes becuase the nutes can become fermented, anyone ever heard of this?
Also I've found some seeds in my recent zips so I am experimenting with germination and sexing.
Again, thanks to everyone for all the help, it is greatly appreciated
Here are some pics:
The ladies in their new home, 5ga smart pots. Notice the two jacks compared to the others...what gives?
This here is a NYCD seed which has germinated and sprouted. I also have a Big Skunk seed which is germinating in a shot glass with h2o.

, I'm keeping this in my line up for a while. Can someone recommend something else to use to prevent against fungus gnats and spider mites, organic please? I have been super cropping my ladies, unfortunately I over did it on the healthiest jack. I thought it would recover but nope, it didnt. All is good because new growth has already started!
) under my new t5 set up. The t5 light is a 4 bulb 2 footer. It is very bright and very cool. Since I did not go the SCROG route, I am using the screen frame as a light stand haha.
