Evening THCTalk
I do hope you are all well, there is a lot going on all over the world and I'm pretty sure we are all going to be, or are being affected.
So, a few things have changed, mainly that I'm switching to coco and that I'm going to be using RO water and Dutch Pro nutrients.
Here's a few snaps.
Here's the view from the smokers area.
Since those pictures, I have put the filters back to normal and had a bloody good clean down with 12% h2o2, diluted down to around 3-4%.
I have had PM in the past, so will also be hitting the tent with a liberal spraying of Fungus Fighter and leaving the tent to bake and dry with the lights on as well as the oil rad.
Quick side note..
In my pursuit for the most elite of strains, I have dabbled in the forbidden, ventured into the dark if you will, to hold the title of Grand Hemperor. It is with this experience in hand that I offer this snippet of advice.
You should treat your grooms like you would expect a hospital ward to be, fucking gleeming......
I carry the misfortune of knowing how to kill:
Thrips
Spider mites
Root Aphids
Most leaf munchers, to that end...
I also know how to rid myself of the dreaded Powdery Mildew, albeit systemically.(Prevention is key here guy's)
Also key is a solid IPM (Integrated Pest Management) plan.
Much how we are all taking precautions with keeping our hands and that clean, we should take a similar approach with our grow rooms.
I now implement a strict quarantine of any cuttings I take off my plants, I also invested in a small, but fucking loud, handheld hoover, this has proven invaluable in keeping my groom tidy. I also shower and change from the days clothes, to a clean set for going upstairs. Pests and shit can get in from our daily activities..
There are quite a few other things I do like cleaning the nutrient bottles regularly, wiping the shelves down with antibacterial wipes or cleaner, cleaning the other equipment, (pumps, hoses, tents, shades and buckets) Being in an unfit loft, it gets a bit dusty, so I may be going over the top, but you can't be too careful lol...
Anyway, the seeds are going to be germed in a few days or so, hoping to get some coco delivered (at a reasonable price) soon.
Speaking of seeds, I'll be knocking out a few autos that I should have done on here a long while ago. I'll also be vegging a couple of chosen beans that were very hard to come by in the 1.2 tent, those will be revealed in good time....
Blimey, I can chat some shit, I hope you are all good and you are staying safe.
Loki.
