Drones did it

Damn nuclear bug planting "drones"

I all but swore off clones. Even my own.
If they were not LuvShack TC they would be gone already~!
I am afraid that is how this will end shortly.
Usually I freeze my room once before this grow time but with the clones I did not.
That being said and it being like 12f outside [ my room is not in my house it is in an unheated shop] I really wonder where the hell these came from.
No way I could have missed them all this time on the clones, that is just not possible.

I think I have at least 4 of those Trop Cherry seeds. You're more than welcome to them if you want some back ups.
The two plants I have now will probably give me around 5-6oz and usually 4-5oz of any strain is more than enough before I'm done with it.
I wanted to test them to see if they were stable females more than anything and they are.
These TC seeds will fall to the back of the line in my rotation and that line is pretty long so doubt I'll grow them.
One thing for sure, they're fighters when it comes to mites. The color is also there but mine are more blue/purple than a deep cherry red.

I pulled the clones out of room.
Voted off the island by the guy who pretends to be in charge.
I see bugs in the room but will work on it moving forward.
# 3 Frozen Black Cherry is not up so I think lost.
The room has 8@ 16oz solo cups moving forward.
I may pull them out to my high tech box shown in first thread take them into the house and bomb the room.
I don't start issues. I finish them.
My mind would never be right with a three week battle with odds against me. 4-foot trees have too many hiding places not to mention 20+ gallons of 'hot' soil.
I can win the three weeks battle I have now I believe. 8 @ 16 oz.
Way back I used to say stress free grows rule.
I won't stress myself like I do the plants.

Beyond common sprays like Spinosad, pyrethrins and bombs there really isn't much. I'll never use a soap. NEVER. I understand the whole surfactant suffocation thing. It is documented that freezing is not a solution as many mites and thrips can overwinter in wood.
When I had my first issue, I thought like the fish breeder I was used to being. What kills eggs?
One thing beyond chemicals will work.
STEAM~! Funny with my name and all but a steam cleaner is out there ready to cook every nook and cranny in my room if needed.
It is a good amount of time but not without merit.

So in no hurry we will move forward and maybe start some more seeds. I mean who grows only 8 plants?
Slacker is strong this time of year. I am exhausted~!

What's the worry with soaps?

 

[steamroller]

What's the worry with soaps?

Just don't like them. No worry, I know they work like the other stuff.
Way back probably smoked some with taste of the soap and don't care if done properly anymore.
There wasn't a lot of choices back in the 80's.
One of the worst tastes if left on the plant or used too late.
I know I could use them and all the other solutions.
I will work on easy way out if possible.

 

[Stoneyluv]

steam huh?? i can do that!! i even have a nozzle that would fit right behind all my panda.. gotta do each stud opening one by one but would have to anyway with steam.. i have a much smaller room than you i bet it would only take me a couple hours!! hmmm..

Yea I can see how that would suck, ever get some weed wrapped in a dryer sheet... yuck .

I think both the methods I use are soaps but the sshz recipe I only have used in veg...only used the Dr zymes during flower once and it was somewhat early....also came back and foliar sprayed with water about a week later I think ? I was hella worried but got zero bad taste. My local buddy who already quit growing...he had some spider mites and whatever he used his weed definitely tasted weird. I honestly don't think he had it properly ventilated tasted a bit musty and almost rotted...but I couldn't shake the thought it could be chemicals I didn't smoke much of it either...few puffs

I had a cartridge from a buddy that tasted like Pledge wood polish. Just couldn't do it.

Cook them fuckers~!
I could reclaim my soil by cooking it if I had to. Not sure how the perlite would hold up to 250-300f, but if I had to, I would find out.
Heat is undeniable applied in proper amounts.
Too little could exasperate the issue as many pests thrive in warmer temps, but at extremes they collapse and fail.

The perlite should be fine, it's just volcanic glass heated until it "pops"

yeah man, the steam is a great idea!! i'm gonna fill up my steamer and see how it works.. i wonder if i could shove the nozzle in from the bottom and let the steam rise rise up... i'll fill that thing up five times on every stud if i gotta!!!! i'll soak it till the luan changes color on the outside!!

i've baked soil in my grill already to kill off seeds. perlite changes to brown but still works!!

Final solution.


And then they magically fuckin appear again.

Woa I want some Tropicana cherries lol

The high priced English gardeners always cook their mulch before placing it on their plants. I also saw this done in Pyinn Oo Lwin, Burma. They have a replica of Kew Gardens called Kanawgi Gardens from when British officers used the town as a respite from Mandalay's heat.

 

[LJFarming]

Blow 3000+ ppm of CO2 in any grow area and every pest is dead like you could be if you stayed.

I let the rest of the final CO2 tank loose after every grow it hits 5000 ppms sometimes and the alarms go off all night! However I guarantee there isn’t a pest or a mold or mildew spore that lives through this!

I have considered using river soil again like I used to outdoors but havent because it's recommended to bake it...which id do if I was trying to drag the shit in my house but in my yard...pppppfffff...

But it's to kill bugs but more importantly pathogens I think . Been a while since I read on it, I think they ask for a certain temp (450?) for a certain amount of time....

i don't have co2, but i have an ozone generator. do you think that would kill them just the same?

i was looking and this place says yes.. https://blueairproducts.com/cultiva...ons ozone kills,BIG BLUE plugged in overnight.

i think it's well worth the try!

So this was yesterday.
8 out 9 up.
Today was same so I opened the VG up.
One Frozen Black Cherry had split and formed a tail and gone no further.
All were placed in solo cups with Happy Frog soil.
Hoping for 9-4-9 still.

In other news The clones have thrips~!
Could I have introduced them with the new soil?
They were not there before and noticeable spots and 'damage' are all on top newest leaves not the old growth.
Kind of pissed about this but will just do my best to spray before lights out and hope the seedlings are not effected.
Already have Spinosad, Smite and one other bug spray so I'll get to figuring it out.
Start with the spinosad and maybe some orange oil.

Man I have some predatory mites that eat thrips in the fridge if you want them. They are getting a little old, I hope they are still good? Dunno but they are yours if you want to try them. Still in the original sealed package

I bought a Chinese Ozone generator in the beginning. I would rather wear a full face respirator for CO2 than breathe O3 it honestly smells scary to me!
