Well I spent about 9 hours out in the rooms today cleaning up the bottoms of the katsu bushes, propping up flop, raising lights, watering, transplanting and so on. Everything is on point, the katsu did get a little chewed up from the hot tea I gave them and also they are acting hungry so I gave them some flower nutes. They are so freaking huge I would not be surprised if they have started to deplete nutrients. Just some eyesroe top fan leaves, bud development and everything is superb. Hoping they stop being prissy I am used to tyranasaurus bubble, been a couple years since I ran this girl. I will get that up to date soon.

The OG/Chem room is on day 66, I look at them funny every single day they know it is coming. The other og/chem room is on day 15, doing great. Looking like they will be just big enough that I don't have to cut the roof out of the tent. Updates to come soon :)

Thanks again IC!

Congrats and keep up the good work. I just harvested my first batch of Sour Bubble and gained a whole new level of respect for the yields you have been able to achieve with the strain. Absolutely amazing.

congratulations PK you are so deserving, you have helped so many people I know you have helped me tremendously and I appreciate it. You'll always get my vote~~~~
 
RomulusUSA- Shit I don't buy pallets, I used to rent a truck to go pickup the mix now I just make multiple trips in my truck. I mix up like 12 at a time, it sounds like alot but really it isn't that bad just not the fun part of growing that is for sure. One day I will get back to water. That is awesome you are trying the mix as well, it is nice to see everyones elses results and get there opinions, really it is just a GREAT starting point and I look forward to others tweaks and experiences.

As far as Pest control I use alot pf preventitives. One I isolate any incoming clones, and really I very rarely take clones in. I try and get 10000-20000 ladybugs into the rooms every month or when I see the population suffering. I keep everything I need on my shelf and always hope to not use it. The only bugs I have seen in over a year since being here is fungus gnats and thrips. For fungus gnats I use the the Gnatrol in powder form, you add it to your water and it contains the BTI. The fungus gnats seem to come with the mix so anytime I am using new mix I try and hit it with the Gnatrol. If an infestation takes off I treat for 3 weeks, also lots of yellow stickys.

For thrips I use Conserve SC with 11% spinosad. For mites I use ladybugs as a preventitive but if I see any of those fuckers the Floramite or Forbid comes out. I don't like using the shit but if I have to I have to. Of course I would never treat a plant that won't outlive the afterlife of any products I use. For root aphids I use the Bayer Advanced. I keep every product in stock at all times. Most of all prevention is key, be observant, and react accordingly. Glad you like teh OG/Chems, really it is an insane combination of strains to all be trying my first time all together. If the mix can keep that diverse of a group happy then it is really doing it's job.
I'll link you to some updates of my veg plants tonight or tomorrow - they were looking great Wed when I was out there. Straight water is all they have had in almost 3wks.

I had a fun infestation last run, I used Gnatrol mixed into water and then at the start of this veg run I went with a liquid form that is VERY concentrated, should last me nearly forever. lol. I've been giving them BTi with every watering, I hope thats OK, the plants seem fine with it. Do you use the Conserve SC routinely, all the time? I am going to be getting some ladybugs and predatory nematodes. I thankfully am (I think) 100% bug free ATM... Hopefully that holds through - bringing in new soil next week.

I stock Azamax and give it to them regularly, as well as Bayer, Floromite, and BTi, which I use with every watering. With a little luck, I'll be bug free going forward... We'll see! I freaking hate that the soil contains bugs, it drives me nuts...

Re your most recent update: I can't wait to see pics of everything. And they say growers are lazy... You def have yourself a full time job! I put in 8-16hr a week during a normal week, and more during some weeks. It can easily be a full time job!
