If that doesn’t work and everything is still in veg, Spinosad is effective for thrips, captain jacks dead bug brew. Azamax would probably work too. That stuff killed all the bugs in two sprays and a single root drench.

I still got the same shit lol also why would it drift one way or another if my solution ph is 6.2 i still got everything I’ve had I’ve been mighty neglectful just still got both Buddahs SIS funky charms enemy of the state hash church orange push pop and a mystery
Been feeding too much too often so I’m cutting back feeds from 6 grams of base to 5 grams i gave them a flush so i should be good to feed my lower dose then I’m only feeding twice a week
I managed to either get rid of or cut back numbers of my thrips

Alright i been slacking hard been letting the game rust take over my life my plants are struggling so i flushed checked numbers everything is high I’m
Going from 3 gal Nectar #4 soil to coco perlite feeding sunleaves……i started blaming the #4 soil for the spikes but then i came across my plant that’s been all coco all sunleaves nutes. She was at 7.0 ph run off 1600ppm so i flushed her with some 6.0 plain water then hit her with some gaia Mania at 6.0
So i was feeding at 6.3 which i was told is high for coco so after the flushes I’ll be feeding at 6.0 I’m ready to start rolling out some buds

Trying to decide if i should give a tea or plain water today and for teas what should i use and if it would be beneficial to just add my liquid microbes in water and let ‘em bubble with some food would that be beneficial or are the bottles kinda a add before you water type thing i have photo plus and m fish shit
Normally I would use water that has sat for 24 hours to de chlorinate and warmed up to room temps, then add a couple of handfuls of worm shit, compost, and a table spoon of unsulphered molasses and leave it to bubble 24 hours in a 5 gal bucket, ( dont make more than you can use as it will not last past 24 hours usually) until its nice and frothy then use it instead of water for that watering session.
Teas are used to increase your soils bacterial content, so when that happens they will break down the nutrients in your soil and make them more bio available to the plant.
This can cause if your soil, has a lot of unused nutrients in it, to burn the plants, as to much becomes available at once. If your nutrients are micro nutrients from a bottle, they may not need the extra bacteria as they are all ready in the same bio availability state as the tea bacteria would normally make them.
If you have bought a bottle of bacteria to add, it should say on the instructions how much to use and when to add them to your water prior to watering your plants and if any carbohydrates need adding to boost their numbers up.

Instead of every second and fourth month I think I would use it a week before putting the plants into flower, it doesn’t have much of and NPK percentage which is good, less chance of over feeding. You could add a table spoon of unsulphered molasses and air bubble it for the 18 hours to get the bacteria multiplying if you wanted.
Well instead of molasses i what about lignant sulphate? It’s a nectar product that’s in place of molasses it’s tree sap smells like fall lol

Not sure of that, sulphates kill bacteria, that’s why they put them in wine to stop the fermentation process.
As I grow totally organic no till, its something I don’t have a problem with unless I accidentally overload the pot with too much N and need to flush, the macro nutrients break down is controlled by the bacteria and so long as my soil moisture and temps stay stable the bacteria are fairly predictable in their nutrients production I sometimes get a slow start in the beginning of flower as the fungal bacteria for flowering take over from vegging bacteria and why I do a tea just prior to switching into to flowering.
