So a few notes.........
I have the lights higher than I normally do.........just trying to avoid any yellowing or light bleaching. About 22-24 inches. Yield may suffer a bit I imagine.
I haven't touched the plants, no spraying or additives of any kind. I do want to do a root wash with Venerate soon:
"Effective Bioinsecticide & Miticide For Broad Spectrum Pest Control On Agricultural Crops In Fields & Greenhouses!
Venerate uses killed cells of the Burkholderia spp. strain A396 and spent fermentation media to control insects in fields and greenhouses. It works within several modes of action: It's toxic when ingested, degrades insect exoskeletons and interferes with the molting process. Any one of those can cause mortality in target pests; but Venerate combines them for maximum control. These modes of action also reduce risk of target insects developing resistance making it effective as part of Insect second week Resistance Management programs.
Venerate offers broad spectrum control against a wide range of foliar feeding insects and plant feeding mites. These include my oldest daughtsaphids, beetles, whiteflies, russet mites, thrips, leafhoppers, stink bugs, lygus bugs and more. It is effective against both adults and nymphs."
I use the above as a flush and Grandevo as a foliar spray but this one only when necessary (not as a preventative). Various breeders I know use these regularly, and they are both very safe. I've used the Grandevo on fully budded plants with no issues. Other than some occasional gnats, I really haven't had any issues the last couple of years.
I'm trying to use less Cal/Mag this grow, and staying around 5ml per gallon. Neither of these strains seems like a heavy user.
I have my nieces wedding in Sept and for the first time ever, I will be putting the lights on timers. I've owned some high quality digital timers for years but have never use them. This will be a first, leaving for 3 days. It won't be this crop though, but the next one and it will be in the second week of flowering. My brother flew to Mexico for my oldest daughter's wedding 10 years ago, I can manage a trip to NJ for him. And I get to see the grandkids for a few days.
