So far so good... problem is every time I apply it, two days later it rains. Zero mold and insignificant bug issues, really almost nothing. The real test is coming.

I purchased Monterey BT and Spinosad to go along with the Dr Zymes I already have for my indoor grow. The Dr Zymes has worked great for fungus gnats in the tents. Any tips or tricks for spraying equipment, mixing ratios, or application intervals? It is probably best practice to not mix all 3 in the same application correct?

Dr Zymes is great stuff ... it'll actually treat athletes foot in humans, or scabies on animals as well ... you don't want to mix Zymes with anything else though, and for best results you want to mix it with 90 degree water. I used to just use a pump sprayer to apply it, but have since upped my game a bit and use an on demand pump pulling from a mixing bucket, and just douche the entire greenhouse with it ... I'll use Zymes pretty much all the way through flower because it'll help control bud rot, PM, and especially for me, mites late in flower.
I also use both Spinosad and BT throughout the month of July and August to keep bugs (especially caterpillars) in check ... I alternate between the two because I've heard some insects have developed an immunity to one or the other .... but the best way to keep caterpillars in check is by preventing moths from landing on your plants in the first place .... it helps having a greenhouse, but most kinds of netting would also work

Damn all of you guys are killing it!!!
I stumbled across this thread.
I used to live in MA till I moved to San diego area Cali. Been here a year.
I hope to be half as good as some of these plants. I've been on a "first grow" for months.
I'm trying to get my buddy to do his first grow next year. I'll probably send him some seeds from MMS and dragonsflame. For "encouragement" lol
Long story short. Keep up the awesome work!

Not concerned with root bound plants; no transplanting. It's home and the stretch starts about now... 2-3 weeks before flower. I used Coast Of Maine Castine Blend and other last year. Tried to keep it simple this year, so far it looks like a good choice. The end will determine the final verdict.

These 4 plants are currently in 7 gallons bags and will soon be moving outside to my newly constructed greenhouse. Should I pot these up? I have 10 gal, 20 gal, and 25 gal bags just need to pick up more soil (Coast of Maine Stonington Blend). Also is anyone watering with straight MWRA water? So far I’ve RO filtered for indoor.

I need help. Plants are growing and will be touching walls and ceiling soon. I have been snapping limbs and bending them.
Should I just cut the top third of the entire canopy?
Or should I try using trellis netting to smush them down?
I fear they will stretch way too much and overgrow the hoop house.
Thank you for your advice and suggestions.

Hello my slightly west Berkshire Homie. Might be a little out of the way, not far from the Greenfield rotary is a place called Martin's Farm. They specialize in and are way more reasonable than grow store dirt, excuse me, soil.
In fact, I know Martin's at one time sold a cubic yard, which is basically a pickup truck bed full, for 45 bucks. Certain local 'Grow stores' buy this soil and sell it for like 40 bucks for 25 gallons, or a bin. Joke.
Martin's.
Be glad to help anytime, hmu.

Ya I am hip to that supercropping!!! Old hippies like me can be stuck in the old ways, but I also am able to take direction and try new stuff. Like washing my bud last year, I tried it on a couple plants that had a little mold, worked great.
Super cropping is another new technique that makes sense and works.
