I did a brick (Cocotek) using the recommended water amount (dunno if Botanicare bricks have one) expanded in a big rubbermaid bin. The water amount was perfect and the coco was only just moist afterwards. Just put the lid on tight and weighed it down for a good seal. Got gnats in the fresh stuff I used last round, but the remainder has been sitting sealed for months and hasn't presented a gnat problem yet.
I agree with what dude said about the forums resizing messing up the quality of the pictures by a bit by limiting them to 800x600, but i have had cameras that had good MP ratings produce shit pictures and cameras with shit MP ratings produce good pictures so yeah i wouldn't say the resizing is the only thing to blame for it...
sh.
Thanks Txchilies! My space is 2'x3'x4' she covers it wall to wall the only way to go now is up. This is a scrog, its my second attempt at it and i think its going smoother than my first.
Not bad? Shiva that's excellence.....now you know why I'm cramming my buckets with rockwool. I had a couple of little 5qt. buckets (coco over perlite) that I used for mothers and I just broke them down yesterday. Again, no roots in the res. When I lifted the stem the coco came up with it and the perlite stayed in the bottom. The perlite was so clean and white I could use it again. I don't understand why the non-2liter buckets do this with coco unless my perlite is too chunky and the air-pruning happens when the res gets low. Funny too, you would never know from the plant, that it was limiting itself to the coco area of the bucket.
Nizza, that atomizer has some balls to it. I would use caution with whatever chemical you use as that thing will make the solution very breathable. It would however coat the walls and floor too with a micro-fine layer of solution that wouldn't screw it up too bad. Looks like it would blow the leaves over so the bottom sides would get treated well. I don't know about "rosemary" treatments but I have outdoor hedges of rosemary. Although hearty and bug resistant, I see little pockets of webbing between branches....if they are spider mights, the rosemary did nothing to stop them from living/nesting on them.
I got ripped on some Sharkbreath before 10AM today...shame, shame, shame. Stuck inside from the heat wave, wah, wah, wah.must say I have enjoyed some of my harvest and ripped I am
Are you using clones or seed? Seeds have taproots, so their roots go down more than out (better for deep containers).
These were seed plants...Moebius has that same theory about 2L being narrow with roots having no choice but to fill the space. As far as I know the coco top, perlite res is the only combo of mediums that does this. I'll show my next bucket breakdown in a few weeks where the rockwool cube res is packed with root activity as is the coco upper layers.
I've tried rosemary, and have a few expensive bottles of SN products on the shelf. Rosemary peppermint, and in the end neem worked better for me than any of the designer oils. If your still in veg get a product than has pyrethrin in it. It kills them little fu-kers.
