Mr. Browns TLO experience

[Mr. Brown]

Keep in mind, just my opinion, and opinions are like Arschloch, jeder hat einen.

You made my day @longball

Different opinions are the only way to grow and I really respect your opinions because they are mostly backed with experience

I hope we'll meet somewhere and somewhen

Hello Mr. Brown,

a couple of small tips:

I start low with LED strenght untill I see healthy green colour in the plants.
Keep you Humidity up (+70%): I put my extractor on a timer and when the plants are small they only need minimal air exchange.
15 minutes on every 1-2 hours depending on temps also.
Temps of the surroundings minimum 20°C.
No direct fan to them in the first weeks (I point it upward to the light to help spread the heat from the lamp and to keep the air in motion in the tent.

I always like to see that the leaves are more praying to the light!

Good luck.

Thank you @Swifty

I really appreciate your tips

I dimmed down the LEDs and put the exhaust fan on a timer.

My biggest problem was to keep the VPN in the optimal range because the humidity was always way to low. Now it's almost perfect and they look much better

Keep learning

I really like a lot if things about growing in soil
And I already can tell what I like the least

I hate all the 'Krabbeltiere' in my grow tent

To get rid of them I let the top soil dry out between waterings and use these yellow sticky cards. Any other suggestions?

@Mr. Brown I've used gnat barrier, it's crushed pumice that you put on top of your soil works well in conjunction with the sticky cards, I hear nematodes work well also,

 

[Ptree]

Nematodes, crushed neem seeds, diatomite, something like sand on top..

Iam best friend with nematodes ++

 

[thaseus92]

i found those in a german shop should be nematode depot capsules which release nematodes over time. looks a bit overpriced but i will give it a try and buy some and share how well they work.

Thank you guys for your tips

Since I have a bag of diatomite at home I will try it first. How do I use it? Just sprinkle it on the surface of the soil?

sprinkle it on top, but for it to work, it must not be damp... it must be dry to work... wear facemask if you dont want to caught for a day

BT works wonders for me. Just get the powdered form and water it in.

 

[musashi]

1) BT as a foliar, making sure to spray the top soil for larvae too, or 2) Consider bottom watering while you remedy with dry diatomaceous on top soil, or 3) Tanglefoot, a sticky substance applied to the base of your stems keeps the buggers from crawling up unto your plants. You'll catch a lot of them this way.

And one thing I once bought in my local garden store was NeemAzal and biool.

From hydro shop cannacure, cannacure needs to be mixed with bit of soap.

Bt could be best from what ive heard, but hard to source for us.

 

[Swifty]

Nemathodes worked great this round in my tent Mr. Brown.

) BT as a foliar, making sure to spray the top soil for larvae too,

I've always watered with BT, I didn't know it works as a foliar. Nice

^^^ works great for caterpillars this way.

Yesterday I put a bowl with warm water, apple vinegar and a drop of liquid soap in the grow tent. Today the bowl was full of drowned flies
I remember that my grandmother did it in her kitchen to get rid of the fruit flies
