Hey guys, long time outdoor grower here. This is my third indoor run in a sealed 4kw room. First two runs were coco, this run I was forced to do a soil run, so here I am.
12 large sativas in 5G pots roots 707 per 4x4. xxl hoods with hortilux bulbs,dimmable quantum ballasts. Scrogged and heavily pruned. 900-1000 ppm co2, 80~ day temps, 70~ night temps, 65% humidity.
This strain is super prone to PM. I just gave em their last neem oil spray at the end of week 3, I have also used Green Cure and Serenade earlier in bloom. I know the PM will come back, how late into bloom can I use the Serenade and GreenCure? I need something I can spray/fog all the way through flower, because it WILL come back.
I have tons of fans in the room, and have pruned them heavily to discourage PM and encourage FATTIE colas. I will also slowly drop RH% throughout the finish, but even at 40%rh the PM will show up. I'm a firm believer in VPD levels, which is why I chose to run high humidity as much of the cycle as possible.
I've done 2 heavy prunes at day 10 and day 16 of flower, I may need to go around again and remove the last bits of potential larf that I missed.
I give them an occasional compost tea, and Roots Buddah Grow/Bloom, and I also bought a jug of Botanicares Pure Blend Pro to give em a different nutrient profile every few waterings. I've topdressed whatever type of Roots Organic flower topdressing they sell at the hydro store as well, I'm going to top dress once more in the next few days. I sometimes add EJ Micro as well as a fulvic product. I tried to make a homemade 5g bucket brewer but I'm not feeling very confident in it, lol.
I'll update with pix in the next day or so.
I also have some fungus gnats. Little fliers that chill around the soil. I dusted each of the pots with some of the mosquito dunks, but it didn't seem to kill all the fliers and it's been around 10 days or so. Would a DE topdress kill the fungus gnats chillin around the soil?
