I have two different ones. The one with pyrethrins worked really well last time. Though it did kill a few of my seedlings.

Yeah, my experience is that pyrethrins will definitely burn plants in sensitive stages, and can even damage ones that appear healthy. I only use neem and spinosad. I neem my veg and transitional plants regularly (~twice a month) as a preventattive measure, they seem to actually quite like it.

Are you using spinosad? I used Montery and they were gone after 1 thorough soaking.

Monterrey Garden Rocks. Once a MOTH got in a veg tent undetected. Who cares right? Well, that fucker laid eggs (in the strangest honeycomb patterns) on the sides of the party cups. They hatched and were tiny little green worms that ate holes in my leaves! One application with the monterrey insect spray. It fried them on contact, never seen again.

Another time I took a cut from a dirty room/person and got mites. Two applications of Monterrey "Take Down" spray and I never saw one again.

In regards to neem oil, I personally have found that stylet oil works even better. I believe grape growers use it to keep away pests/PM. I like that it's odorless and totally clear (neem smells like chicken bouillon cubes). It's a mineral oil (from gysum?) and has never had any ill effects on my plants. They seem to like it actually.

Great looking veggers akhiym.

Also interesting f2's there Hermit. They look worlds apart. May I ask, is it possible to get an individual very similar to one of the original parents in creation of a f1, through the f2 generation?

Thanks bro but if you saw them a couple weeks ago you wouldn't have said that. Just did some testing on my water and I've figured out its the problem. High ph and high ppm. I don't think the ppm is affecting its the ph of the water so I'm pHing the water to see how this does and if nothing changes then I'll grab a filter for water.

If you decide to go with a water filter I'd highly recommend this one...

It's only $100, and unlike most RO units it doesn't waste a drop of water. It removes fluorides and 93% of chloramines, but leaves other beneficial dissolved solids like Ca and Mg. I've had it for a couple years now and it still works like a charm.

Have you ran that filter personally? Have you tested the ppm out? I'm looking for a new one and no waste is very appealing but I am curious how much cal/mag it let's through. I am HEAVY on those elements.

I used to run that exact filter before I was blessed with holy tap water.

Took my tap from 830 ppm (WTF?!?!) Down to 40 ppm. Not Friggin bad.

My ppm to my well water is 30 - 40ppm and the PH is 5 - 5.5 with a cheap brita filter connects to a faucet. Raises the PH to 7.0 and raises the PPM to 45 - 50 ppm

I really need to invest in a unit like that. I have shit water like akhiymjames. We call it liquid rock, super high pH and ppm. So I use a RO unit but the fucking thing produces 3x as much wastewater as collection water. Not cool. At that rate it would probably pay for itself in a year or less ya?

I know a grower on another forum who uses the exact same one for his coco grow too.

I'm sure this will only help as I think I read this in the Matt Rize thread on here about making it in the cold. I bet your starting water will be very cold and you should have a nice quality product if done right

My buddy was blasting some trim last year around this time when we got the arctic blast and gpt the best yields we have ever seen. Now we got this siberian shit happening and I got trim again:bigjoint:
