well the worst has happened spider mites have found a foot hold in the flower room. I neemed and soaped all the plants veg and bloom and bombed the room last night. I didn't find alot of spider mites but one is to many. I'm very sure they came in on some clones i got and just now found out came from an infested garden!

Why give some one clones from a known infested spidermite hive?! anyway. I think i caught it really early so i'm going to keep my eyes open and work on getting some floramite or avid to finish this before i lose all this work and time.

I guess that gives one a real sense of the differences between ignorance and apathy. They either don't know or don't care. On the same level, I equate it to going to work sick. Why would anyone go to work sick, infect their coworkers and then those coworkers take it home and infect their kids? Just for the sake of MONEY.

My next upgrade is a much needed ventilation system with a DIY carbon scrubber.

The only plan i can come up with is a Stanley blower fan modded to duct(s) that suck up air around the lights and expels it out side the room and have fresh air coming into the room from one of the two windows in the room while staying very stealth.

This is all i have, an idea and no solid plan. I need help with ideas of how to do this with out to much money. I figure the carbon filter, ducting, and fan will cost $100-120.
to do it right.

off to research ventilation, still want to make a flip flop but ventilation is needed now before i double my flower wattage.

Am not sure of the layout of your room, but does it have an attic above it? I know you don't want to do any more damage to the room that would require a lot of time and expense to repair, but a fixing a hole in the ceiling only involves a piece of wood long enough to span the hole, an appropriate sized piece of drywall, 4 drywall screws, and drywall mud to fix. (Screw the wood to existing ceiling, screw the "plug" to the wood, mud the joint, let dry and paint or stomp if necessary.) Just pick an out of the way spot, cut your hole, and then you could vent into the attic.

there is another room above this so the hole wouldn't work and i would be killed if i cut a hole in the ceiling!.

I have 30 feet of 4 inch ducting and might have to wait to buy a decent fan and make a scrubber.

As harried as your life may be, you make growing seem effortless. Much respect sir!

BTW, hope you were able to address your ventilation/odor difficulties.

Namaste, mess

Well i have some ghetto ventilation in place as well as some ghetto odor control.

It's been a second job taking care of the plants and trying to perfect things. Took some clones in my old peat pucks because my bubble cloner went almost a month with no roots.

Most of my furthest along plants should be coming down in two weeks so look for some good pictures. All my plants at two weeks are in large pots which should help. I'm also going to cut down the # of plants under the lights so all of them get what they need.

A clone of unknown origin cut at day 40 due to hermi issues. grown in 1.5 gal coco/organic soil mix feed with earth juice. Aprox one ounce yielded of potent organic medicine.

my alleged SSH and Alleged Bubba Kush will come down in about 6-9 days. I harvested the TINY DTC99 and it is killer like all the product so far. I think i sacrificed yield alittle with organics, i.e. not dialed in yet! However the quality is way up there. I think once i get more light or trim down plant #s for better light per plant it will work out better.

The Orange spice might need to go another 3 weeks :(

My 2nd string of girls is on week 3 of 12/12 and budding fast. The purple shaman is already turning purple! very purple! it doesn't even have any real buds just 12 hairs in a cluster at the tops and they are a rich purple already. BUT it's in my hydro and i think high temps might have started alittle algea or something. I'm going to try to save it but i think the out look is grim.

I will focus on organic soil for now until i have the time/$ to put forth a REAL hydro effort and break the bank with buds!

The DTC99 was only a dwarf plant in 1gal(read, experiment) i got maybe 8 gram total of pure hash coated buds. The plant is revegging into a mother plant right now and will be run again in 5gal with real veg time to see it's full potential.

Pictures of some dtc99 soon.

I think those who need it will appreciate it. Well done sir! :canabis: When you're done with this batch, will you be able to take a day or two off? I would think it a well deserved treat after bustin' ur hump the way you have with this run. :respect:

Well found some powdery mildew on the kali mist mostly and a few other plants in the flower room. Been using neem oil on all the leaves and I chopped the kali mist at around 3 weeks so it's the hash been for it.

I'm going to try to save the other plants that are 5 weeks from harvest. I've taken my inline fan from my 250MH veg area and used it to exhaust air near the grow lights. It's about 1/4 the CFM i need for the room but i'm hoping that it will be enough to keep temps and night time humidity in check to defeat the PM menace

Cured my spider mites but got PM and some other issues. The more plants the more problems but some one has to do it

:joint:
