Hey 3eyes, yea, when the breeze blows the right way I can smell it from a ways away now. Did you build your own carbon filter?
Yea I thought of that but didnt follow up. I bought one star Jazmin set it off to the side and forgot about it. Its big enough to take clones off now though. Maybe I should do that.
No kidding man, Im growing trees! Gonna need some loppers this round.
Will do, yea I hear ya, nothing like the morning sun.

OK, I got the foggers today and I made sides to seal up the top.
I have been spraying with neem and water in the morning. That and now the temps have been dropping to the mid 50"s at night and with that a/c I have been keeping the temps under there about 70° in the daytime, it seems to have stopped them from progressing, I see a good amount of trichomes but I know they are still there.
close up.
I got like two to three weeks left for most of it, the two Kush look like they are about ready now. I still had two of the dr doom left but Im getting closer to harvesting and dont want any residual pesticide on my buds. I am wondering out of the two commercial foggers which has the least residual effect. I got one with attain and one with pyrethrum.
Heres what I got.
I was thinking I would use the one with attain now and the pyrethrum next week.
whadda ya think?

aww man thats a shame...I would try everything I could think of organic wise before nuking them with pyrethrum, shit is nasty stuff, terrible for your lungs...But I also understand it could come down to either that or loosing your crop...good luck man...
Wait a minute, really?
I thought it would be fine to use up to a week before harvest and there is no residual affects. "nasty stuff, terrible for your lungs" Shit thats not good. You mean to tell me you have smoked bud that this has been used on and you could taste it? It made you sick? Please explain.
I'd like to hear from someone who has used these foggers.

So you recomend using both within a short period of time and letting it go from there. Gotcha, thanks man.
Find Integra21 or Boomer242.
So today in preparation of this harvest I got my cab ready to use as a dryer.
Removed the hydro tub, light and ducting, covered the hole to keep the light out, I had some cardboard I saved so I lined it with that. Then used some left over pvc and SCROG screen to make some hook points at the top. Just hooked the hydrometer to it for now. Finally installed that new thermostat I got and hooked up the case fans and the top whisper fan to it. The bottom of the cab is vented through the floor. I figure the other two 4" will be constant. Got those on the light's yo yo's to make it easy to adjust. One pointing up and one down for now.
Check it out,
I picked up that small dehumidifier a couple grows ago, worked pretty good in the smaller space I was using. we'll see how it goes. I'll use this to do the Santa Cruz, I still need to ad another rack in the center.
Oh, I found a place nearby that sells 2.5 gallon jars for like $20 I want to cure in glass, figure I can cure much larger quantity that way. Like 10 times larger then quart mason jars. So thats cool.
You can see the case fans, or I guess there are called pci slot fans have a blue led light. Its cool, I can just look and see there working. I got another one in that port on the right. (above pic) I think they rated them at 65 cfm or something, IDK they move air, not a lot but you can feel it. They are just boosters most of the air is sucked out the top by the bathroom fan vented out the window.

so this is the first dry hut, when is the 2nd being built ? haha 10 elbows brotha. you need a big hanging dry net. theyre like $40 and a major space saver. if you get one make sure to get the one with the zipper so you can shake it up without any medicine spilling

I actually saw one of these on display at a garden store, they're kind of expensive but looked real legit
I'm sure you could find one online for a fair price
I have been drying right here in this room but I think this much will make me sick. I got that cab ventilated for grows so it should work pretty good. Actually I have two cabs. (the pic in my sig)Sweet Cruzer! Nice drying set up you got there
that should work very well
Thats the difference. I was looking at those last night on ebay. The white ones have a big opening and the black ones had a zipper. Not as many chambers though. I wondered why you would want to zip it up I mean you need to turn them. Shake it baby! Gotcha!
So how much do those hold?
I saw 24" round ones Net dryer or something. I figure I could fit two of them in the cab, probably get four and hang a couple in the room, rotate them maybe. The first girl to go is the smallest, I'm just going to hang her and test the cab and a diy trimmer. If it works, who knows maybe I will continue with that but probably break down and get that spin pro and the nets.
Dude, what do you use to cure large amounts? I found 2.5 gallon jars does that sound about right?

Well I have used a few drops of straight 100% white pastie looking Permethrin that the hydro store gave me because they said it is illegal to sell in CA anymore, haha. But I just did a bit of research and Pyrethrum is a natural extract made from the common daisy, but Permethrin is a made-made alternative that is meant to be stronger so the bugs will not gain resistance. Many foggers and sprays have this chemical in them but only a small small percent. I had a vile of the pure stuff and I had to wear gloves and a mask to handle it, I only used a few drops per gallon of the stuff it was so strong...I have never had to spray it on nugs only during vegging, all I am saying is that it is a pesticide and to be as careful as you can, chemically made pesticides are never good haha

yea the spin pro would be a great investment for the smaller buds but i would still hand trim all the prize colas. i dont know why all of those dry nets dont have zippers, i guess one company put theirs out first and another company put their twist on it.ive seen 6 lbs in of those hangers and it worked great.
in theory the big ass jars would be great but all that bulk moist bud together isnt a good thing. i just do an oz or 1/2 oz to a jar. to me those take just the right amount of time to cure.
i just picked up a case of 12 at OSH for 10 or 15 bucks.
