    Carnivorous plant for pest management

    in Pest Control

    Posted

    Yeah i had one in my tent and slowley but surely it died off. It did catch pest if you put it the same level as your pots. But not sure why it died, i didn't do any research on them, don't know was it the 18/6 light schedule or the fans blowing on them whole time.

    Neem oil

    in Pest Control

    Posted

    Organic miticides can be mixed at home using essential oils. Peppermint, rosemary and citronella are recommended and seem quite effective. I'm testing a peppermint oil mix on spidermite.  
    3 liters water
    30 drops peppermint oil
    2 tb spoons cooking oil
    2 tb spoons soft soap
     
    During flowering the options become limited. I wouldn't spray anything on my buds , just not sure what residues will remain.

    Honestly have been dong research nonstop.
    The seeds im using now and will be using next are bought seeds. Next in line is cocopopo and royal wedding cake.
    I read so much on that site. On my first grow i felt like i was getting deficiencies and burn. Dark green tips with rusty yellow edges. Just feels like im catching it too late or getting more than one deficiency.
    Thanks for the info on the feeding as this was always a grey area for me. So full dosed ghe (as indicated on the bottle) should be fine in full on veg? Everywhere i read people said to never give full strength nutes as indicated...
    Just trying to sift trough all the information. Definitely going coco and nute next. 
    Its all trial and error until you get the hang of it. I havent personally used ghe nutes maybe the other guys can assist with that. Im using hortimix nutes and im running on full strength from there chart.my grow isnt perfect, also getting a bit of nute burn. I think everybodys firts few grows run into problems. Just carry on and dont stop trying..like prom said there can be multiple things that went wrong.over watering, under watering.maybe even your water source. Dont know if you using tap water or tank or bottle.many factors play its part in growing..best thing is to do the grow diary with your next grow and the guys wil help you with it.

    I would say get a ec meter. Will help you in your next grow. Feeding depends on your medium. if not mistaken ff, just cannabis, royal gorilla ect they have amendments in for like a month or 2.half dosage is just to safe gaurd yourself from nute burn in early stages of your plant life,once the plant is in full veg then up the dosage. I add nutes every watering,mostly the plant will show you signs, if its hungry or getting to much nutes. There is a site growweedeasy.com you can have a look at with good guidelines and tips. Another thing i would recommend is to buy seed, even if its cheapies from biltong and buds,they have some from the bulk seed bank thats R65 a pop or you can try some of totemic's genetics i think its like 300 for 10beans. Sometimes with bag seeds,you get messed up genetics and then you just gonna struggle.

    Hey yeah i had a mate with the same issue using ff soil. He never added nutes and had n deficiency. I suppose peopel scared to use coco due to the fact that it's got no amendments in. Im on my first grow with coco/perlite and find it realy simple to use so far . Only thing is you have to add nutes from the get go.so just follow your nutrition chart and all wil go smoothly.im using 15lt pots and water 2lt then my pots are just right, if i go 3lt then i get a +-20% run off, i do that every 3rd watering just for salt build up. But dont think its really necessary. I ph my plants at 6.thats just because im using ph drops. So its not 100%accurate. But so far no hassels. Coco is really simple and effective.

    Setting up an indoor grow

    yeah its all up to your budget at the end of the day. Don't know what's your budget. Growing cannabis is trial and error when starting indoors. I would do a smaller tent and put more aside for a light. I think the most important thing in growing is a light. the better the light the more the yield and coverage. When you go hps you gonna have heat issues on hot days and you probably gonna need a 6inc inline fan. You can do autos but there is no room for error on them really. If you mess up then your yield wont be as good as if it could of been. But at the end you can use what ever you pleased with. hps, blurpels,qb's they all work.

    Howzit. 
    Rather buy a bag or two of soil. Freedom farms or jamies or organics matters. 
    Buy a 240w quantum board. 
    Hey yeah i agree with skunkpharm on this. Rather buy some decent soil, then you cant realy go wrong and a quantum board.its more pricey but saves you money on power( when dimming for seedling and veg) and you dont realy get problems with heat. What pot sizes are you using?

    It didnt go to bad. They just give off alot of heat.. I had a ceiling fan in the cupboard for suction. But i think it was not sufficient enough.i did 1 grow in the cupboard and had to move to a smaller house. So dnt realy have space for it at the moment.

    Iv only seen weird shit like this when the light cycle is not constant, or rather, constantly interrupted.. 
    Is it near a bedroom window perhaps? Street light maybe? 
    Im with you on that one.had the same problem..
