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.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.
