Gah week 7 spider mites again...blasted them with a strong dose of Dr's right before lights out. Will continue as long as I see them..so once you have these fuckers ....do they just stay forever? Gah
That sucks! I hate those monsters! The eradication methods I have read are extreme. Fire,trash can, bleach, seems to be the order of effectiveness. Good luck, keep me posted on the Dr.s effectiveness. I have a bottle in the room in case I get a war notice

I had them recently and rotated bi weekly with Capt jacks dead bug brew and a diy organic IPM for a couple months till you don’t see bugs. Then only organic IPM weekly during veg till about week 2 of flower. Here is a link that was shared with me for the IPM recipe: https://overgrow.com/t/bodhi-testers-summer-2020-passionfruit-hasplant-lush-x-88g13-hp/30535/57

Man I don't get it :cuss: My big plant in the 4x4 is getting eaten alive. They have to live in the soil. I have bleached, shop vac'd, and sprayed everything on earth in that tent. Left it unoccupied for weeks. Even spent $100 on beneficials about a month ago, yet here we are, I swear worse than ever. I'm trashing all my old soil and starting new. Gonna make the soil while it's sub freezing temps, then bring into the house to warm up.

I tried ordering some beneficials one time a while back.. and felt like an idiot when nothing at all came out of the packages lol it was from ebay though so who knows, maybe i just need somewhere more reputable.
That sucks! As soon as I bought it they started coming out in the sealed garbage bag but they ended up not reproducing because I kept the humidity too low in flower
I will say they worked to stave them off for a while

Gorgeous! I'm a bodhi sip head also!!!! Had to stop buying packs until I can crack some of the 30 odd strains I have hoarded lol
Thanks brother. Sounds like we are in the same seed boat. I stayed strong during the Medicine Mountain Sativa drop. I did just see though, where there is a new Bodhi drop happening soon at GLG. Here we go again. I’m setting up a new 5x5, so that is taking priority at the moment.

Round 2. 2nd cycle, 1st no till. I put her in the earthbox 2 weeks ago from solo cup. I added water to the res a week after. She was pretty small at transplant, and believe it or not, she's gotten much bigger, pretty damn fast, but I'm probably still going to have to veg for at least a few more weeks to fill that screen. She's a fast growing, lanky strain, so I'm hoping she'll fill it faster. So far the no till is working good. I haven't had any problems, except something munching on a couple leaves, that I'm currently addressing with Dr. Zymes.

First time I have ever re used soil, I dumped the soil from the sipinto the wheelbarrow and re amended with dry things like bat shit and worm castings some macos some tomato fert and a few other things , another water only grow, so it's Runtz on the left and lightsaber on the right View attachment 5065676View attachment 5065677View attachment 5065678
You don't even have to do that much work. Just grow a cover crop next time and you don't need to dump the soil out.

im super lazy hahah, I gravitate towards easy,, and this is about the most simple , least work and effort way i have found for me,, once its going i do almost nothing for weeks at a time,,
Honestly, I feel like it's easier to just throw in some seeds and let them grow. Then chop it all and transplant into it. That's just my opinion though. What I consider easy others may not.
