Hi I'm prepping for my indoor fall/winter run and am hoping for some suggestions recommendations and or guidance.
First I recently noted some critters in the grow area so I bombed it with Dr. Doom and alternated with BASF PyrethRUM to cover the other side of the PyrethRIN in DD for a total of 1 apps every 5 days for a total of 3 to break reproduction cycles. There will be a lapse between that and my start up +/_ 30-40 days and I wonder if I should repeat the cycle just prior to start up despite the fact that the bombs killed every living thing from the unidentified critter(s) possible THRIPs to crickets and spiders?
I'm using an Autopot setup with I guess 3 gallon pots and recently upgraded to the 3/8" big bore tubing and valves as well as uping the Res to a 32 gallon pail. Had an issue with the 1/4 inch setup...all valves failed despite Cocoa Canna nutes and s Full Res with the Res valve opened properly!
I'm planning on running 8 plants which is a significant increase from the 4 I usually run and am mixing varieties for the first time (in a tent). Planning on 3 DM Orangebud, 3 Blackberry Kush, and 2 Strawberry Lemonade...my concerns are crowding and species variables i.e. height, form/branching etc...and wonder if SOG would be a viable technique if not the only technique due to tent space despite not using clones and varying plant types, or am I biting off too much?
I'm using a KIND K5 XL1000 and have also added side lighting (for flower) Kind lighting strips on 3 of the four sides.
The grow area is pretty well climate controlled with forced air cooling and exhaust as well as heat and humidifier as need when the weather changes.
Basically should I repeat the bomb cycle and is eight too much? Thanks for looking.
 
If you can isolate the grow tent lung room from your living space; you might try a Hot Shot No Pest Strip. This shit is so poisonous but will clear a room of any living pest or eggs. I have been forced to use one twice. Once for a white fly infestation and once for the borg. I only used it after harvest when the space was empty. I had no residual insects either time.

Stuff as many as you can grow without getting mold problems. Remember air flow is paramount!

Yeah luckily the space is totally separate from living. I just read about the strip. Did you access the space while using it and if so did you remove and replace it while in there?
Glad to hear I'm on the right track packing the tent...im gonna add a second clip on fan to increase flow in between exhaust cycles etc...thx again.
