EYE Hortilux/CMH grow

Looking great! Gonna need to sharpen up the machete come harvest time.

Fairly warm at 86. Are you using CO2? Would really rock them. With my last grow I manually flooded my room with CO2 during the stretch and was amazed at the growth compared to not using it. Tank ran dry so no gas for this run but they're doing fine. I like to keep the temp at 75 max then my exhaust fan comes on often to refresh the air in there.

Cool on the tubes. Was just typing this when you posted about them.

Here you go, went and bought 4 x Blue 420's and 4 x Full Spectrum bulbs, spaced'em every other in the lamp, and those babies will be my last run at this house probable so when they go into flower, i'm going to add all 8 of those T5 bulbs into the flowering tent. Strains there are:

Grandpas Breathe
Citral Flo
Naked City Kush x Sin Mint Cookies
Blue Dream x Blue Power

So my last run i popped a few seeds of Grandpas Breath and just was playing around to see what theyd look like....they were getting about 50% light as the rest of the grow and about week 6 i walked outta my tent and popped every other seed i had of her lol. I gotta pic, one sec

Yea im running CO2, im actually going to revent my hoods tonight so im no exhausted my CO2 so quickly. Even with the CO2, the girls dont much like the heat. Shes always been a finicky strain for me when it comes to the heat.

Grandpas breath is the fresh plant, Citral Flo is in the jar

So these babies are going into day 13 and we're battling a little mite problem....found a little russet infestation so I've been using GreenCure and Azamax foliar to knock'em back while I wait for the predatory mites to get here. Never actually released mites into my grow so If anyone has and knows of a good way to do it i'm all ears lol.

I feel like these Fire OG's didn't stretch as much under the hortilux's as the last time I grew her. At the same time I also feel like her buds are forming quicker this round as well.

Lousy time to get mites. Only found 2 thrips today after not checking for 3 days.

Your plants sure are filling up the space now. Gonna be pretty high above the screen or can you raise that?

Die damn mites DIE!

Yea I was pretty pissed lol...Did 3 foliars over the last 3 days (even laid on my back on the floor for one of the foliars to get as much of the underside of the leaves as I could) so she's bouncing back but apparently that's what I thought last time. I just want my predatory mites to get here.

The screen taped down, if I need to trellis again, i'll just grab one of those string trellis's....really don't want to because I HATE taking them off!!

That's why I like the ScroG. Get them lashed down so they don't get too far up above the screen. Big colas still want to fall over but what the hell.

You sprayed every day for 3 days? Should spray 3 times, 3 days apart. Get them as soon as they hatch. Most sprays won't kill the eggs. I got one of those sprayers you put on the back of a quad I could use for a room full. Gonna sell that damn thing I think. Came with the house.

Good luck with the predators.

I spied a few spots on my leaves the other week so I attacked the plants with Mighty Wash, drenched them. Ordered the 'phytoseiulus', 2000 of them + 10 sachets of 'ambersellius' for thrip and spidermite
I misted the floors n walls with water to keep humidity up while waiting on the predators.
The phytoseiulus come in a tube, in vermiculite.
You just take off the lid and sprinkle it slowly whilst turning the tube.
Shake the vermiculite off the plant after a min or so , it'll fall off.
The predators will disperse and get to work.
Gotta catch on to those mites real quick.....
Hit them fast n hard!
Lol

That sucks man, sorry to hear that, https://hydro-gardens.com/ , local to us and they got a really great selection of IPM . I get my nematodes from them and they work great. Good luck and happy growing

Also i'd suggest a light dusting of DE, should help tremendously and it's 100% organic and safe, kills most soft bodied insects.

So just figured I'd update a little, tonight marks the end of their 4th week. These bitches got THICK so I've been trimming and manicuring and cleaning them up. Ive never asked a plant to produce as much as I am this time, seems 1.5x my normal nute feeding is what they like. I'm also getting a lot of yellowing on the bottom of the canopy so that's where most of my cleaning has been concentrated. No more signs of bugs, although I wish I hadn't sprinkled the predatories over budsites, the dust from the vermiculite kinda just stuck lol.

Pic was taken today at 45 days into flower....I still see SOME clear, mostly cloudy though, and ambers started a week ago. Never has she matured this quickly, I've always run her 9-10 weeks and I could probably chop at 8 with fantastic bud. But i'm still going to try to push her to 9 weeks as long as I don't get too much ambering. Also thought this was interesting.....I water these girls every other day 7-9 gallons of water....fucking insane.

I also think I figured out why Ive been yellowing since the 3rd week.....Pot sizes are too small for these plants. upgrading pot sizes next run but this is the first time 10gal pots have been too small lol.

We've to import the spinosad in these parts.
It's banned here.
I've got it before ,a few years ago now, great stuff.
Mighty Wash seems to work.
The predators seem to have done the trick.
Room is clear at moment
