GIRL's GOT SKILLS

I hear ya about a flawless run. I'm already a week into flower on my second run and I definitely improved my training and my feeding but this time around I got fungus knats. Overall I can tell I'm doing better but these knats are affecting my plants and I don't like it. I already tried spraying the bastards down with SM90 but they keep coming back so for now I am just spraying down the top of my media every day until my 35% hydrogen peroxide comes in and then I'm really going to kick their asses. Maybe my 3rd run will be flawless lol

Yellow sticky traps will keep them knocked back until you can break there breeding cycle......

A white bucket with about a inch of water in the bottom. Put it under the light and they will fly into it bounce off the sides and drown. You wont get sticky and most every one has a bucket around. Place several around. It is a easy way to tell how bad it is by counting how many land in it every day.

Oh and by the way my improved training is thanks to using tomatoe vine clips. I stole that idea from you a while back and those things are great. They really helped me pack a 4.5x4.5 area with nothing but tops so thanks again. :tiphat:

I use them as well. I have like 6000. Two five gallon buckets almost full.

I use to use pipe cleaners but found the fuzz was getting into the bud so I switched to the clips.

Thanks for the suggestions I screwed up and forgot to order the yellow sticky pads when I ordered the peroxide but I have been noticing that since I have been spraying with the SM90 they don't like my media as much and have relocated to
hanging out under the lid of my res so I have been sucking those little guys up with my shop vac every time I go into my room. When I do spray the media the ones that are there all jump onto the sides of the pots and I suck those bastards up too. I have reduced the infestation big time but I do still have some flying around every day for the last few days. I can't wait for this peroxide to come in so I can give my media, roots, and reservoirs all a nice cleanse. I'm hoping that it will kill the green algae that the knats are feeding/breeding in once and for all.

yay Im off....... I have a busy weekend..... ill have some future divers coming over to play in the bottom of the pool for a few hours..... I always teach them the basic skills to get there Open water cert....... and work on there buoyancy, but tomorrow Ill be the Dive-master on the Boat and pick up about 6 more dives for my dive log.... Being dive master is always fun..... its thrilling to back role off the boat with 150 feet of chain rode piled in my lap..... I only weigh 120 so i sink like a rock and end up dangling at the end or the chain till i can tie it off to the wreck...... Diving and growing are the two most rewarding pastimes....

That's what I need is a bucket full. I only ordered a bag of 100 and thought I wouldn't need even that many, I was wrong. I went through those already. One of the cool things I like about them is that once the plant is trained to a certain location you can often remove them from that part of the plant and use them some where else. Very versatile, I likey.

um Del that's probably not algae.... the hoo2 will take care of that but i found something much better and safer...... h202 can be toxic as hell Dell...... you probably have BIO SLIME....

Another thing I didnt mention with the bucket is to pull out a dead bug and scope it. It is a easy way to see the bug and tell what it is. I can get them to stick to the side of my finger if I am gentle in the water so they are not crushed while trying to look at it. Plus you wont get your scope all sticky looking at one on a trap.

Very cool, I have always wanted to dive, I did a little in a pool when I was a kid. Do you ever have encounters with sharks ? I hear bullsharks are common in the freshwater of Florida, sounds freaky.

Me and the wife go to Vegas for a few days but Vegas isn't what it used to be, I am trying to convince the wife to go somewhere tropical, like the Bahamas or the keys, mabey Jamaica. I am a fat fuck but the wife had weight loss surgery so she should be more open to wearing a bikini. I am not shy.definately want to go diving

Now the strangeness is piping up over here. I think the trolls are affecting our brains. My daughter would love the hello kitty bike, but UNC in heels and garters would probably make her cry.
