monkeypig Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I know there is a lot of opinion on here about whether or not to use boosts and other ancillary products, but I have to admit that I do like to use the full range that a company has developed. My logic being that if they've take the effort to develop a series of products together then I may as well use them. I have got my mucky little trotterpaws on a bottle of @Intense Nutrients new finisher Climax I've got to say I've only used Ripen a few times, so have little experience of finishers ( apart from in Mortal Kombat) Instructions say :- Add to reservoir at 2-4ml per litre for 5-7 days 2 weeks before harvest. After using CLIMAX flush plants for 7 days with a quarter strength base nutrient solution. I know it's not a very scientific was to be doing it, but unfortunately I don't have a giant room where I can run controls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 @monkeypig It looks like an interesting product my friend I've heard good things about the @Intense Nutrients line. Let's see how this one fairs All the best Mark.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remo 1 Oldtimes BLockhead My best advice would be to do a staggered harvest mate Is this possible or will all plants be harvested at the same time? Personally I would crop out the ladies that are finished at say week 8 to replenish your supply then let the others go until finished Alternatively you could harvest the tops and leave the lowers in bloom to finish Just a thought buddy All the best Mark.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypig Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 @Dinafem-Mark Unfortunately a staggered harvest is out of the question due to lack of space. That said an awful lot can happen over the space of 3 weeks and it'll be interesting to see what the Climax can do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypig Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Righty ho - Here we find ourselves @ 7 weeks and wow are those Gorillas starting to look sexy, and pretty large too. Canopy Gorilla 1 - Gorilla 2 Remo 2 - The bent one! Remo 1 Oldtimes And finally the Blockhead - She agreed to pose for a couple of close ups The remos are both looking like they'd like to hand around a little longer than the others, so it's looking like I'm going to have to just see how we go. I'm reckoning they'll all have to go to 10 weeks to allow the remos to get their thing done. I'm going to finish the bucket of feed I've got mixed then next bucket I'll add the @Intense Nutrients Climax to the feed before feeding for the rest of the week and then it'll be flush time. With the jars totally empty at the moment I'm going to try to stay on the wagon till they're ready and then I'll be having a real treat with no tolerance. Let it be said, my first experience of Dinafem seeds is working out very nicely - Thanks @Dinafem-Mark for this opportunity.

I thought it would be a full crop take down mate It's picking that optimal window which I'm confident you'll do Week 7 and Gorilla #2 looks very close to harvest, #1 does look like she will need slightly longer to finish, is it me but does Remo2 look close to finish to with #1 lagging behind? Keep the updates coming my friend. Not long now buddy All the best Mark.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypig Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Full panic stations last night. I was mixing up a new bucket of feed at 7 1/2 weeks. Perfect time to try out the @Intense Nutrients Climax. SO I've mixed the bucket, just Climax, Runzyme and a little Wide load, and as I give each pot a big 2l serving i noticed on the Remo 1 what looked like stange bubblling coming up through the roots, except when I looked closer it was actually hundreds of tiny white 2/3 mm long little critters - No distinct form and looking like minute white (no black dots on end) grains of rice, except they were wriggling to fuck. Even worse as I'd watered some of the little fuckers spilled over the pot into the tray in the tent I've really been soooo lucky with pests in recent years (had some thrips about 5/6 years ago and spider mites 10+ years ago) that I have to admit I still haven't I'd then but from what I read and especially the looking like bubbles at first , I suspected it could be fungus gnat larvae (not noticed any flies about though). Had a good look in the other 5 pots and there didn't seem to be any so fingers crossed they really had a taste for poor Remo 1.I tried to get some pictures but didn't come out too well But looking again in the cold light of day ( I know the pictures are awful) do they look like they could be springtails? Reading up about them it seems like if it is springtails it's far from the worst that could have happened but still explains why Remo 1 seemed to be struggling a little (So remember this before anyone accuses me of picking on the Remo Chemo) I'm expecting to be chopping the weekend after this so things could be worse and I reckon it's going to be best to just ride this out and deep clean everything once chopped. Still, was a bit of a shock. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look around to see if there is a valid pesticide that's natural Are they more visable when you water buddy? All the best Mark..

Last night I noticed the little gits have made it onto the Oldtimes. Thankfully they should be down by next weekend and then I can nuke the flower tent and I'll take preventative measures with the veg tent. I'll try some Provado and was also given a sample of C NO INSECTS, so we'll see what gives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargares Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hypoaspis Miles and roving beetles. Probably a bit late for this grow but get them in your mother tent and dump some in next grow as a control measure. Pesticides are rubbish. Most of the little bastards out there eat pesticide for breakfast. Also you can't spray on flowering plants. Predators are the way forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargares Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 And ozone producing UV c lights are great for sterilising between grows. Just make sure you vent all the ozone before you go back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natural predators would be my choice and much more effective and environmentally friendly Always good to take a proactive approach to keep the critters down After this grow, I would scrap all medium and give the grow area a good clean. Then clean again. I like a hydrogen peroxide solution in spray bottles to go all over my room, equipment etc All the best Mark.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypig Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Week 8 is done, into week 9, flushing in full effect. Probably be down this weekend before the unwelcome beasties spoil all the fun Canopy Gorilla 1 Gorilla 2 Remo 2 Remo1 Oldtimes Blockhead Sorry for the rubbish pictures - I've managed to get camera stuck in some strange mode. Was trying to get into macro to do some close ups and fucked up. Time to RTFM! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
