GreenHighlander's Basic Medical Grow Part III

I have decided to order some lady bugs and Aphidoletes from this website. https://www.thebuglady.ca/aphid-control They should be here by the end of next week.

Cheers

Took 4 days for my bugs to get here. Would of only been 3 days if it wasn't for the snow yesterday.



I will be building ladybug homes that will have food (raisins) and a saturated sponge for water. I am hoping this will help keep them around and possibly even breed. At the very least it will give them a good habitat to hangout in while lights are on.

Cheers

Day 30 from flip for some day 29 for some others. For future reference do NOT spray flowering plants with Palmolive dish soap. I kind of already knew that, but now I know for sure


Some #1's that were flipped around the 25th of Nov.


#1 day 29 ff


#3 day 30 ff

What brand of tent did you get? I will never take Outdoor indoors ever again. I brought powdery mildew in with them. I will trade your aphids for pm any day. I battled mites and thrips but this stuff is getting to me. Hope you beat the bastards green.

I got 2 fusion tents. 10x5 for flowering and 6x4 for veg.
I have never had PM before but hear it can be a real sob. I knew a guy who use to swear by his ozone generator killing the PM .
As for the aphids they haven't seemed to of caused any harm. Most of my lady bugs are still alive in both tents So hoping they are munching on aphids. As much of a pain as they have been #3 is good enough that I have no regrets about bringing in cuts.
I am going to release the Aphidoletes just before lights out today.

Cheers

Some shots from this morning.

It is hard to get a decent picture of them but those 3 red specks are Aphidoletes larvae . So it seems they have reproduced since being released.

Also noticed today that these GG#4 S1's are not all females. I have 2 showing nothing but male parts so far and only 1 of the 6 is showing female . 2 others looking very suspect.



O well they were given to me. Can't win em all.

I decided to harvest this #3 early . It is part experiment part my stash getting low.



And had this #3 out for a watering
