Hello 250 clubbers.. you guys/gals are doing some great stuff from what I've seen here recently. I'll be checking in from time to time but I'll be taking a little break from growing after this one finishes. It's hard to keep the temps down through the summer months and there just too many other things to do :). This is going to be my final run for the the MM ("Mystic Mutant" ..they were from seeds of a Blue Mystic that got crossed with a PPP that herm'd on me). It was/is some nice bud but the last couple MM grows threw nanners and now with 7 weeks done I found a couple stray nanner's in this MM grow too. :(. I'll be chopping her very soon, possibly tonight after the lights come on, I'll look for nanners again but the Bubblicious and Jamaican still have a couple good weeks left and I don't want to risk anything. I looked at the MM last night and they had mostly cloudy tric's (very little amber).

Arrrgh...I can't do it..lol. Between yesterday and today I only found a few and I plucked and drowned them. If I find more than a couple tomorrow then maybe..

Grazz I'm in the same boat as far as heat and shut downs go. I told myself after last summer I'm not running the extra ac. Luckily I should be done sooner than later. Unluckily for me I used the wrong strain for my lst'ings first attempt. I have waay too much yellow due to treating it like what I normally run and one small nice green plant(what I do normally run) with one good lolipop bud. Oh well, that will teach me not to double my check labels lol

I am also learning a lot by changing breeds. I changed soil as well
which has clouded up the problem. First nute issues, then a gnat
infestation, neither of which bothered previous grows.

Good luck,

JD

Sounds familiar.. I switched from hydro to coco.. coco to soil. I had a huge problem with gnats when I went to coco and it continued when I went to soil. I did find something that worked to keep the gnats under control. I used DE (diatomaceous earth, go to your local pool/spa place and ask if they have any damaged bags), I put a thin layer on top of the soil, then mixed it in to the top inch or so and sprinkled another layer on top. It's supposed to be something the larvae eat and it kills them, 4-5 fly strips cleared out the adults.

Hi guys, new member here

Do you reckon a 250 would provide enough light for 4 plants assuming everything else like heat, reflection and nutes is taken care of properly?

Or would you see better yields for only 3 plants soaking up more light each?

Thank you for taking the time Grazz,

I am afraid that I may have waited too long....I am used
to these gnats, as I cultivate mushrooms, but while there
have always been a few around, what happened this grow
was more of an infestation.

I watched them literally walk around on my DE. Fark! :0)

Then I tried Go-Gnats. I am now joking that it's name sounds
more like a Football Cheer than an Order To Vacate. No Joy.

I just finished the second of the two phases of a nematode
amendment that should settle the matter.

I have two different sprays arriving, one pyritherin and the
other spinosad, and may do one light spraying to clear any
remaining bastards.

Take care,

JD

This reminds me of the Old Timers Haze again.

...I have been sorting out those breeds that take the long
periods to flower (the three month types) from my collection,
and looking at other breeds I want to try that take that long,
with an eye toward doing a "long/slow Crop".

I have not finished confirming these, but they are haze-y.

G13 Labs White Lavender
Barney's Farm Morning Glory
Green House Seeds Arjan Haze #1
Green House Seeds Lemon Haze
Barney's Farm G13 Haze
Nirvana Seeds Snow White

I also need to take the time to Veg more.

Take care,

JD
