@Aqua Man

Hey man can you remind me about making a res with 34% h2o2, like how long will it be good for sitting in the corner ?

Good practices?

How often re-dose hypo acid/34%

3 days both?

 

[tobh]

three days for h2o2, give or take.

Yup 2-3 days depending on water temp and bioload

Thank you man



Apparently they don't harm established plants.
And
Apparently they can cause damage similar to spider mites if around leafs

Where the fuck they came from, idk.

They just appear from thin air like most bugs

If you were organic id say keep em, but id get them under control since you're definitely very far from organic lol.

Seems to be draining off/out the pots.

Seems just the moms.

Ive been flooding pots in the sink with sprayer, I'm putting the moms to flower.

Yea which is retarded cause my coco needs to stay moist lol

Just watch your clones and new seed starts. With those numbers theyll deovour the new roots. Super beneficial bugs just not for seeds/seedlings

Liike like maybe springtails

Im not certain but bti may help.

Ive read vinegar will kill them instantly but that shit stinks lol. Dietamtious Earth or micronized sulfur would do it too.

 

[Observer]

Thanks y'all so far I flooded the moms medias out seemed to wash out 90% of em

Getting the flower space ready for the moms.

Not aure id add those to hydro though

 

[GoodShit97]

True true.
I was thinking he was still using the coco.

Yes sir.

I was gonna put it in a hydro bucket system but now never mind with those fuckers +it's gonna fuck with the led heighth/PPFD across plants

 

[Observer]

True true.

Well when you leave you're coco in a very small container and it's basically just roots, it basically can be/come hydro, where the roots are always in water, and the plant will/should be just fine with it given O2.

I was going to put it in the bucket and set it up for a hydro system, just a 3gallon bucket with nutrient solution and a pump to stir it and add o2 with a air line that runs into the pump and fuses with the water stream pumping out.

And SCRog her out in the flower space but don't have the room for that

 

[Observer]

True true.
I was thinking he was still using the coco.

And maybe he means in the res, or where the plant will be sitting in it constantly.

 

[Observer]

Sometimes I let it sit in the run off over night and it doesn't dry out, not good practice but it can work.

Basically, bottom feeding

Thanks for the info

This article really helped me grasp the art of balance.

I've never had a coco grow without springtails. I don't know if they're attracted to it or come in with it or what, but I had them every time I ran coco. Never seemed to cause any problems, but annoying to see them. Was one of the reasons I ditched coco for wool.

Funny you say that....

 

[Observer]

I've not noticed or seen them AT ALL till I moved here and got set back up.

Now they are here on a few of the older coco plants.

I've read they can actually be beneficial on established plants, they go after any decaying organic matter, so any roots that aren't making it won't be there sitting around, just flush the springtails out and I've been lightly spraying with a 1/3 vinegar/water mix on the pots.

But yea fuck em, I don't want any bugs in my grow, "sterile".

I'm planning on moving to rockwool soon, but it seems to cost a little/bit more than coco.

Canopies look fine enough though so
