[JACKtheREFFER]

damn betty >>>> nice work!!! you are doing a fine job working around that room. it looks like a lotta time and effort ....and the buds are the proof of that !!! good growin im subscribed !!!!!

 

[CANNACO-OP]

AtomicBetty has it down. Nice looking all the way through.


I will say it again and again, we tried a bunch of stuff with those mites.


I broke down and spent the $50 (which we spent more than that on chemicals) and bought some predator mites.

FIGHT MITES WITH MITES

I do not imagine the big grows use anything else but natural predators.

Now that it is summer out, you can even find some outside, depending where you are (Green Lace Wings eat mites)

Keep fightin and growin, will keep an eye out for ya!

 

[AtomicBetty]

My C02 generator WORKS!

Halle-fucking-lujah!!!

I am seriously going to go smoke two doobs to celebrate.

 

[CoonLover]

way to go betty.
setup and ladies looks awesome

 

[reefa cheefa]

Looks Great Betty.

make teas with ur guano it works great. have used it with foxfarms to supplement and as stand alone,
Feed the soil and it will feed your plants visit the organic section

i have the same co2 generator, thing is powereful, and you can add two more burners if you ever needed to. Sucks yours is having so many problems, Ive never had any issues with mine other then the heat it emitts in the grow room.

 

[AtomicBetty]

hey toob --

I do love it, now that it's working again. It ran perfect for a year and then just one day the pilot wouldnt light. I ran around in circles (and so did my awesome garden center folks), and after a month, last night, it's finally in commission again! I am so stoked.

Thank goodness for a three year warrantee. (And for an awesome hydro store that doesn't want the recepit or my name to have it fixed.)

I've got the max amount of burners in there now I think. I can get 1700ppm with ease.

Wow betty, things are looking great around your way! Sorry to hear about the mites, I'm just getting over em myself... catch them early if you can and hit them hard with whatever you can... hate to say it but I tried every product and oil on them and the only thing that got rid of them for sure was flowering out all my big stuff, getting rid of it... bleaching and bug bombing every room, then starting over with small cuts and being super vigilant... I'm sure you got it down pat just keep a watchful eye...

With guanos Ive added super tea and budswel to promix in the past and gotten good results (was using pbp at the time)...

Like I said great show, cant wait to seem em finish! Looks sick!

 

[mellomel]

WoW. They are growing along very nicely AB despite the issues, I'd say you just about have it down pat. Good on ya Gal, we need more smart women growers... You rock and so does ya crop...

Good luck Betty... cant wait to see final product, gonna be a ripper...Will be watching.

 

[Teeg420]

I like women who grow their own. How are those hoods working out for you? I liked the concept half cool tube half horizontal reflector.

 

[AtomicBetty]

You guys are such great support. I will get some more pix up tonite -- they're progressing quite nicely!

Teeg -- I love the hoods. I used to have them in like a square configuration and they didn't cool quite as nicely as I would have liked... Now they are in a straight five config and the air blows so easy and sweet, I never have any kind of temp probs concerning them. They could be a little wider, in a perfect world, but they totally do the trick.

Again. Tonite is picture night. I can hardly wait to get in there myself.

stoked for some photos. i love the soft touch a woman brings to a garden. if only my girl would see the light(hps) lol

i have used guuanos for a few years. still have some INDO Guano now sittin around. and budswell(liquid) i liked my results, but have since switched to heavier PK boosters with better results, less mess and less work. i say that cause i began guano by top feeding in and then learned about tea brewing. not insane, but more work than i like. but for soil you cant go wrong with guanos..... 5 gal bucket and airstone and guano- bubble overnight, shake well and water. its easier absorbed this way and doesnt give you hot spots like top feeding can, plus there is mad o2.
if you ever have a prob with your burner again you can just increase fresh air flow to your garden, that will work. and also you can mix yeast and sugar and hot water in a jug/ bucket, cap off and make a small hole for air line in lid, run line to a fan that blows over your garden. reaction makes co2 for a week or 2 with a lil bag of sugar and heaping tblspoon of yeast. costs about $1 each time. at one time i had a lil closet grow with several 2L jugs rigged to realese co2 all day. i know i helped the co2 PPM in the room . maybe in my gallery somewhere some pics of em

ne way sorry for rambling but just wanted to give a lil info to ya from my pot for pennies point of view

 

[growshower]

atomic betty, kudos to you, always love a women who tends her own garden, but i settle with a great gf who put up with and enjoys the results of my work, but either way, great lookin grow, glad your co2 is back up and running


what breeder are your s.d? sorry if i missed it earlier in the thread>?
i just finished some but mine were gifted and i have no clue of the breeder, either way, great smoke, real head peeler, tagged and k+

 

[Lilly456]

Have at 'em Betty, you're doing pretty damn well if you beat the damn mites, here's to ya' on that one...

 

[Graceweed]

Wow Betty! Damn large set up.....so many colas coming up wonderfully frosty! Too cool!

 

[AtomicBetty]

Hey folks,

I have been down with the ill the last week or so and my doggie got hit by a car, it was a crazy ass week. I have surgery in a week and I am gonna have to chop before then, because I am gonna be down for the count for awhile afterwards. my pistils are just about totally turned, I will get some pictures tonite and get a good photo update for all you fine folks. It's a little earlier than I would like to chop but you know, sometimes life intervines!

thanks for taggin' along and all the kind words.
