I am still learning at growing the herb, only been doing it about 3 years. I grow indoors in fresh expensive bagged dirt and take starts off the plants when they get bigger, no mother plants. I had to learn everything the hard way but I will share a little basic knowledge that might help someone. I don't wanna be the guy that uses forbid and eagle 20 every crop just to be on the safe side. I never wanna use that shit if at all possible. Very first crop I got PM and fungus knats. Over watering, not enough fans/ventilation and too high of humidity caused that. I am sure certain parts of the usa are more prone to these problems than others, I am near Seattle in WA. Basically I only spot water my plants now and check them every day. Cant be lazy and give them 3 days worth of water or you could be asking for it. I only used eagle 20 once and when I got rid of the PM it was gone for 2 years. I never even cleaned the room so I don't believe in the spores and fans theory myself. But I just got PM, spider mites and fungus knats again from getting starts from a guy with a business and 3000 starts out in his barn that he over waters like a mofo. People have been telling me for 2.5 years now to throw everything out and start over with seeds. "don't ever get starts from anyone", they say. Well I will never get starts from anyone ever again now. Once this crop is done I am starting over with seeds.
Most grow shops will tell you eagle 20 is nasty shit and some of them don't even sell it. I used it on my first crop and was thinking about it on this crop now but I think I will try something less harmful after reading all of this thread. I am 2 weeks into flower and the bottom leaves are beyond covered, they are fucking white. If you gotta use eagle 20 every crop then you should probably figure out why. Most people will say this nasty shit is a last resort so to use it every crop is probably bad.
