i turn the oscilating fan i have on low and turn my exhaust fan off...
maybe thats y i dont notice anything , i leave my oscilatin on hi and leave my exhasut on! so the exhasut is just pulling all the chems out of the room meaning the no pest strip is usless correct???

i turn my fan on low and turn the exhasut inline fan off during the day when im not in the room and the no pest strip , then when the lights turn on ill turn the inline back on and take the pest strip out since i go to bed aro8und 11 or 12, an hour after the lights turn on!

sometimes pest can get a tolerance to sprays... could be part of it to..

if the neem spray isnt working what i would do is continue with root feeding the neem with every watering... then alternate between spraying with the neem spray and a 50/50 alcohol/water spray.. make it as cold of water as you can get.. pests dont like the cold... the alcohol will dry them and their eggs out.. and the alcohol will evaporate before it hurts your girls...

i warn you the alcohol will about take your breath away when you are spraying it.. the shit is strong.. so be careful when your spraying.. again make sure you are getting the tops and bottoms of all the leaves thoroughly...

you can also try a tobasco/garlic/tobacco spray... i havent personally used this.. and it isnt a pesticide/miticide spray as much as a deterant.. but ive heard good things...

but i really think if you keep the fans off and the oscilating fan on low.. and do that for a few days.. along with the neem and a couple alcohol sprays you should get things under control fairly quickly and easily...

ok sounds good, ill do that in the morning right before the lights go out so i dont have no burnage! wat % alcohol should i use? should i not buy the azatrol since its money tight and reall expensive ($100)? i should see how the water/alcohol,pest strip and neem work first correct?? again thanks bro appreciate all your help and advice

def try the alcohol/pest strip/neem treatment before spending that much.. alcohol is cheap so its worth a shot ya know?? i get the strong stuff.. dunno the % tho... its just the stronger of the 2 available.. and use in a 50/50 mix with water...

and your welcome bro.. always glad to help a friend and fellow grower!

Hey bud.Just flush them good.My temps are 88 even sometimes 90 f.Like you i'm using Lumatek and 1000 watts.i have a 400 & 600 watt spread out over 9 Dynamite plants.I also use litmus paper and keep the PH at 6.2 bang on .After 16 days flowering my colas are really filling in and the trich's are frosty .I keep it totally simple using 3 gallon grow bags which are filled with Pro mix HD,Sunshine #4 is also great.I have a small and i mean tiny little bit of yellow on one single leaf in whole garden.So your temp is fine and using litmus paper is just a matter of getting used too mixing your water soluble solutions and using PH up and down properly.This site has too many master growers who can't spell there name correctly and have a daily diet of M&M's and Slurpees.Again flush your stuff,and get your PH under control.My first grow was awesome because before i started growing i had my face in High times for 3 months unlike most newbies.Most F up there first couple grows.Good luck dude .Peace

Oh yeah by the way.Marijuana the last time i checked is a sub tropical plant and can take more heat then 70-75f.I like 82 personally like a nice balmy Miami afternoon.Yeah i'm running a little warm at 88f but my plants and the buds are totally loving it.Dynamite from Next generation seeds is killer.Huge yields,total Grapefruit Indica F4 hybrid from B.C. and because it is a quality strain it erases your mistakes that happen here and there.Total couchlock and munchie time for sure.Later

video is great bro! girls are lookin good... about the time i was thinking you'll need to tie the girls up soon to support weight it showed the one you had tied up... they are gonna fill out nicely!! one thing... if you can space them apart a little.. give them some breathing room.. they will grow bigger... its sort of a pain in the ass tho... because you might have to rotate them to keep them under the lights... which would be an everyday or every other day thing... but in the end youll get maybe 5 to 10 percent more on your total yield... lookin GREAT tho bro!!

yea.. i was busy trimming and shit ALL day yesterday.. 17 hours straight... talk about a marathon

ok guys.... there was webs from branch to branch, those mites ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!:cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss: I can not wait until this shit is done so i can get rid of this mited bud and bomb and bleach my entire room let alone my entire house and call clark pest control to spray around and under and in the attic of my house! next time i will be more cautious! hey SS do i spray the actual buds with the alcohol/water solution??? or are you just trying to spray the leafs????? im doing this right in the morning i need to kill these fuckers, they are straight overtaking my op, far beyond hope probally, theres atleast a few thousand of those brave lil soldiers in there, well later guys im going to bed, talk to u all in the morning

well first those clones are looking good... i bet they are all starting to show roots.. just thats the only one with roots that are starting to pop out...

and damn... i feel for you with those mites... thats the other thing about spacing them out.. those little bastards can go from plant to plant when they are touching which means the entire place gets filled... but if you isolate the girls a little more then they are stuck on the plant they are on.. for the most part... they are a HUGE pain... your about 5 weeks in... so yea, you can still spray the buds and everything with the spray... i wouldnt do this much past the the end of the 5th week tho.. if you havent got them dead by then you need to bomb them... the shit part is since you have buds for them to crawl into and lay eggs they have done so... which means more of a bitch to get them out... if you can take your vaccum in with you you can use the hose attachment to gently suck the webs off the buds and the mites.. another thing you can do, as much of a pain as it will be, is to remove each girl one by one and try to, the best you can, "clean" her from top to bottom... you can take a hose and gently spray them from top to bottom.. this will knock off all the eggs and mites the water hits.. again do this with a GENTLE spray.... or you can put them in your shower and shower them lightly... just make sure you have plenty of air movement so they dry ok... just a couple ideas.. but if you are seeing webs from girl to girl then its getting bad...

ya sounds like work but im sure will be worth it, so pretty much give them all a shower outside and then spray them with alcohol/water solution and then let dry out and then put back in room. sound good????? ill vaccuum them first then give a shower then spray alcohol/water solution then feed with neem and nutes!!!!! can u bomb will your in flowering??????
also i like that autoflower idea i was thinking of getting the ak48 and lowrider! sounds like a good idea to just throw these in the veg space wheres theres extra room!

girls are looking good.. coming along nicely... buds will be really sweet in a couple weeks... big and huge and ready to be smoked...

so yea.. thrips reproduce.. i use neem oil myself... and i swear by it... im getting more bold with my plants so im currently changing how i use neem oil.. but i will tell you step by step how i use it... so here we go...

first make sure you get cold pressed 100% pure neem oil... i use dyna gro... dont get something with neem in it as an additive... just 100% pure neem oil... make a spray with it.. i use about a 3ml of neem oil per quart of water and 1 tsp non scented biodegradeable liquid dish soap.. make sure it is non scented and biodegradeable... it works as an imulsifier since oil and water dont mix...

also you must remember neem oil is not a spot/contact killer... heres how neem works..
1) suffocates eggs that get covered by it
2) affects reproductive hormones.. in adults it stops them from being able to lay eggs and fertilize them... in young adults it keeps them from ever reaching maturity and thus never reaching the ability to reproduce..
3) deters them from eating and living on the plant because they do not like the taste..

also neem oil can be added to the water you use to water your girls... along with nutes and all.. when used this way it is absorbed by the plant so the mites end up eating it regardless of if you miss a spot or not.. and again it deters them due to taste.. the taste will not affect your buds as long as you stop treatments at flush to allow the neem oil to be washed out... it also has micro nutrients that your plant uses so its beneficial in that way also...

if you use neem oil expect a 2 week treatment... this is long enough to kill whats alive and not alive and get rid of the problem.... you wont see a big impact for about a week but i will give you some other things you can do to speed it along...

my 2 week treatment...

day 1 - spray the shit out of your plants... tops and bottoms of leaves... dont be shy here... i easily use a quart bottle of spray for a 5x5 area...

day 2 or 3 - i water my plants and feed them about 6ml neem oil per gal of water.. i have to water them every 2 or 3 days.. just know you should feed them the neem every time you water within this 2 week time...

day 4 - spray

day 5 or 6 - water

day 7 spray

day 8 or 9 - water

day 10 - spray

day 11 or 12 - water

day 13 - spray

and one more watering


ive done this every problem i have had and it has worked... the soil feeding also coats eggs and makes bugs eat it that live in there.. giving you bug free soil...
hey thanks bro , that is a good recipe for me. do you use pure neem oil ? i have dyna gro pure neem, and bottle says adds some dish soap and spray .
dish soap ? do you add dish soap to neem spray ? and can i use neem 6.week of flowering ?

yea.. that works.. good plan for sure... just takes work.. but its worth it for sure.. you can bomb into flowering yea.. i wouldnt go past like week 7... and be careful of what you use.. make sure it can be used on produce crops..

i use pure dyna gro neem oil too.. thats the best to use.. i add a little dish soap.. it just acts as an imulsifier... and 6 weeks into flowering is about as far as i would go.. that gives them a couple weeks to clean the neem off themselves...
