Neem and pyrol both have equal chances of burning your plants but both can be avoided. Neem OIL and pyrol are both oil bases so if you spray your plants and put them back under lights you are going to fry them. The oil acts like a lens under light . You must spray just before lights off and let them dry out sufficiently otherwise you will burn your plants. That being said NEVER spray oils on plants under 1000w lights , the oil needs at least a week before the risk of burning isn't there. My preference is pyrol as neem smells like ass.... Cheers Reaf

Looking good bud. Take those last bits of stork of were u topped them , make the cut as close as you can to the bottom. Leaving that small piece is a waste of plant energy, the plant is keeping that stork alive for no reason. Same goes for any branch or leaf you take off , the entire piece must come off. Don't be scared about abusing your plants, they can take it. Also try drilling holes in the top of the pot lip and tieing the branches to the side with plant ties (lst) Cheers Reaf

Agreed Maxwell 11w are useless in a grow environment. You basicly have to put the lamp in the plant to have any positive effect otherwise it will premote stretch . Cheers Reaf

Didn't see you post there 420 , If you have a look at the plants they are still young as they haven't started alternate noding so I would put it down to preflowers and not loadshedding but I could be wrong as well:-puffin

Hi bud That's spidermite , have a good look under the leaves there will be to y black specks (actually red). Those are spidermite , I would recommend pyrol. As for the pistols , am I right in saying the plant is still in veg? If so u can still veg as long as you want , those are just preflowers that show when the plant is sexually mature. Cheers Reaf

bud don't get ahead of yourself..... forcing hermies and making seeds from female seeds does not make for good genetics....do yourself a favour and go research genetics and seed production . Cheers Reaf

You should try starting training a lot earlier. General rule of thumb I use is if it has 2 sets of true leaves she can be fimmed and started to be trained. A well trained plant can easily double your yield. Cheers Reaf

Hi bud You are throwing away money , turn one if those panels off or get a smaller 135w cfl. Seedling can not utilise all that light . Generally seedlings and clones go under a 135w led panel I have until I need more light. Cheers Reaf

Hi bud I am a bit confused here... are u running 600w for seedlings?

Well it actually does matter were in the country you are ..... Cape Mail is on the ball and the guys in Cape town have major issues getting seeds. I know growers that have there seeds send to friend's in JHB and then the friends send the beans on to cape town Cheers Reaf

Looking good bud. You planning on training them at all?

I moved away from passive intakes a while ago , I use a 6" powered intake with a centrafugal fan designed to work with resistance moving about 400m3 an hour and then a 8" extracting moving about 650m3 an hour through carbon. On the intake I use batting from the material shop as a prefilter and a hepa and a secondary filter. Cheers Reaf

This is the prefilter pad I use for my intake into my grow. This is in by no means a dirty area , I am anal about my clean environment. .. Basicly the filters been running a month... and the pic speaks for its self

Very cool , wish I could have been there. Thanks yo all those that attended for the greater good

It will probably work but why try go cheap and easy... you have spend so much on your grow , why now feed sub par nutes. In hydro it's the life blood . So it's the old story , you can but I wouldn't. Cheers Reaf

Make sure u order bloom and grow because it is a combination system

I couldn't agree with you more , that much down time on a critical piece of equipment is scary. My personal option is you will still get more yield of a digital hid , lot of hype around led panels . It's just there grow footprint is terrible. 2 x 1000w digital hid will kick 4 x 400w led panels ass , just my 2 cents Cheers Reaf

Honestly I haven't seen flora bloom... if you growing in soil you want an organic nute , I would highly recommend biobizz biobloom and biogrow combination. It's the only thing I would use. Cheers Reaf

When greenhouse opened there strainhunters seed bank I was send sample of all there seeds , it took me a good part of 6 months to grow them out . Some were fail genetics as in just kak plants mist hermied and I got only 1 plant out that's sort of a keeper... Don't forget about subcool and jaws gear also top notch stuff. Lately I actually am enjoying royal queen genetics as well. Cheers Reaf

Hi bud First off what medium are you using? Because you are going from organic nutes to chemical nutes.... big no no there bud. If you going organic then biobizz and if chemical hydro then nutriplex. You can't flip flop between growing techniques because you will run into major trouble. Www.growguru.co.za stocks both nutes. Cheers Reaf

I just don't see why you would give someone local your details... if they get bust they will have all your details and where do you think the police will go knocking next... Just my 2 cents Reaf

Cut her down! No question in my mind , why risk a plant almost finishing flower with one that's only 2 weeks in. More hermie action from green house seeds , I did seed testing for them and man are those some crap genetics. You will get one or 2 good ones but with all the other superb breeders out there I personally will never grow there rushed genetics again. Cheers Reaf

You guys should try get some Jaws Gear , he is a really good breeder with some very interisting strains. I am getting some new strains for breeder testing , I will put some pics up once the seeds arrive. Cheers Reaf

Hi bud and welcome to the forums. I am organic so can't really help on the nutes and things sorry Haha the seedlings look a little pink to me... any chance of a pic under proper lighting? Cheers Reaf

Keep your environment clean and treat problems as they arise but this is my way of doing it... then again I also think neem makes the buds taste like fresh turds......lol Most vacuum cleaners these days use hepa filters so look around for replacement vacuum filters. Cheers Reaf
