Ants
Lasius niger,Black Ant
The ant has a hard outer covering called the exoskeleton, or cuticle. It functions as armour, protection against dangerous solar waves, an attachment base for internal muscles, and also prevents water loss. It is divided into three main parts; the head, thorax, and abdomen, as shown above. There is also a small segment between the thorax and abdomen called the petiole, and is either in one or two parts according to species; some ants have a scale on the petiole itself.... More..

Bed bug
Cimex Lectularius
A reddish brown colour, purple after feeding, invariably exposed parts of the human body are its prime target.... More..

Carpet beetle
Coleoptera: Dermestidae
They are small, oval insects, usually less than 1/4 inch long. Carpet beetle larvae are usually about the size of the adult beetle, 1/4 inch or less in length. They have dense tufts of long setae (bristles) on their bodies. Black carpet beetle larvae have a long tuft of hair at the end of their bodies.... More..
Cat flea
Ctenocephalides felis
Remember to treat your household pets with the necessary registered treatment. For more information please contact your local vet.... More..

Confused flour beetle
Tribolium confusum

Mill moth
Ephestia kuehniella
Probably the main pest within flour mills but they can also found in bakeries and animal feed plants.... More..

Mosquito
Anopheles
Female mosquitoes rest on sheltered water using surface tension to lay their eggs. Although water is crucial to the survival of larvae a surprisingly small amount will suffice. Care should be taken to remove or pierce all containers that can potentially hold water in the garden, discarded pots and tyres make ideal breeding grounds.... More..
Oriental cockroach
Blatta orientalis
Despite having different habits to the German cockroach (Blattella germanica) the same control methods can be used.... More..

Silverfish
Lepisma saccharina Linnaeus
Silverfish and firebrats are wingless, flat insects with two long, slender antennae on the front and three long, slender "bristles" at the rear of a tapered, carrot-shaped body. They are 1/2 inch long when fully grown....
More..

Ticks
Ixodes holocyclus
Ticks are members of the same phylum (Arthropoda) of the animal kingdom as insects, but are in a different class (Arachnida). The main difference is the body of a tick is composed of only two sections while insect bodies have three sections.... More..

Tropical warehouse moth

Wasp
Vespula vulgaris
Widely regarded as a nuisance with a potent sting, they feed on insect larvae, meat and fruit.... More..



Yes. It might work if you only have a few but I doubt it'll work if you're infested with them.

does your panels use 3w leds? how much was it? if i40w led must run at roughly 70- 100 watts and if that is the only light used on them plants then u done well there fruit. i got a 150 hps and my light cant get that deep penetrating light to th lower part my plants. worth a look into as really wanna give leds a bashing next round
Yeah mines got 3w leds, heard they're doing 5w ones now but I've stopped reading up on it all since buying my light. Mines actual draw is 140w but your right, most leds run at less than advertised. Cheers for the props, its my first go so I've got no idea how much they fatten up over the last 2/3 weeks but I'm hoping for a decent haul

1. get a big bucket.
2. grab a few of the big bags of ice from tesco etc
3. place ice in bucket, fill with some water, but not too much, you want that ice to be clunking together lots.
4. add trim, if any buds, ground.
5. mix like mad for a bit, i do 15 minutes or so with a power drill and paint mixer
6. pour out through a sieve into another bucket, squeeze any watyer out or trim, and throw back in bucket, add more ice, water, repeat, twice, three times.
7. Leave big bucket of water to sit for say 4 hours or so, the tricks will sink to the bottom.
8. use a hosepie to siphon off most of the water without sucking up the good stuff
9. pour the now smaller amount of stuff intoa glass jug etc, again allow to settle for as long as it seems to take, then use a smaller hose, pupette etc, to sipon the remaining water off, the bottom of the jar should be a big green/golden sediment layer
10. pour the now concentrated remains out onto cardboard, micron mesh etc and allow to dry up

Bubble bags do the exact same thing except they take the say 9 hours of siphoning and leaving etc, to say 30 minutes of pouring through the bags, well worth the money, but make sure to buy the big ones, i got small, a bit of a PITA

Alternatively youtube gumby hash for a video guide.

I've ordered two cfl's from basementlighting.co.uk.. and guess what?
they've both broke..

first one i ordered had stopped working after a bit and had loose parts inside and kept flickering..

second one just suddenly stopped working after i shut if off from the mains

the ' head ' of the bulb where you screw it in into a E40 hanger sounded like their was things inside, was this normal? as in it felt like something was broken inside for both of them..

are cfl's very delicate?

- TWO 125W CFL DUAL SPECS
- E40 HANGER

I figured i had the space and i didnt need much more equiptment so fk it :). Il need to start the journal from where im at cos i got stoned n fixed my laptop but forgot to keep all my files so ive lost all my pics from before now lol.

It certainly looks that way in the picture but i dont think it is, the lights were just heating up when i took that so maybe the 600's take a bit longer to get bright and also its a grolux bulb in the 400w and it has always looked more blue than the 600's.

Il definately be gettin that journal started soon.

Does anybody know of an easy way of watering 31 plants???? Its a bitch lol
