with the jacks? also the soil as well also do I keep using the DE or just the jack and any pointers for using it. Thanks so much.
I just flipped them to flower 5 days ago looked great found this problem 4 days ago with a thrip setting on my leaves.
Definitely try to get it under control nowā¦
If you still donāt have the bug issue under control after 2 1/2 weeks since light flip then I would put them back to vegg a little longerā¦
Dealing with bugs is a tuff issue and never seems easyā¦
It would not hurt to flip them back to veg now? Iād rather do it before its to late and let them recover as I said I got the Room even if they get 8ft wide a piece. I just really never ran into an issue were switching them back would be necessary whatās your thoughts flip them back till Iām sure its under control? Also do I spray the soil with the jacks or just canopy and undersides of leaves and the whole grow tent lol.

I would spray everythingā¦ and yes I would just keep them vegging for the next week why you do battleā¦
Plants in vegg can take a beating , but in flower itās a fine line to how mad the plant will getā¦
So even after 5 days of 12 12 flip back to MH and 18/6 Just to be clear and thanks you so much peach.
Peachfuzz has you covered here. Heās right about the bugs.
When applying the captain jacks, spray right before lights out so you donāt burn the leaves. Spray heavily, and be sure to get in the knodes where the leaves connect to the stems. If you apply enough it should run to that spot. Iāve seen thrips hide there too. Under leaves, and rotating the entire plant to be certain of complete coverage. Thrips are no joke, and took me 3 months to get rid of them. I was working a lot, and didnāt apply regularly enough.

What about switching back to veg after 5 days of 12/12 wonāt hurt a ting or since itās stretch week does it really not matter to flip them back to 18/6 donāt want no hermis been there not cool. you say Iām good to do it Iāll trust you guys for sure also should I take off some clones in case the worst happens? @dbrn32 @Covertgrower @peachfuzz Thanks you all three. Also got the Jacks applied in the soil,under the leaves and on top,heck the stems the outside of the pots, and even a bit in the air in a tent of course and walls, floor ceiling ,between floor liner and floor. hope I got them.

@Countryboyjvd1971 I havenāt seen you get in on this much jump in here dude last time same grow same strains everything it was good. You see my problem I guess tomorrow I will switch her back to veg cycle. To be honest a bit nervous never have I tried this at any day of the grow let alone a week in basically but to be honest no real changes have took effect so itās possible no hairs no nothing of I take clones now thatās super or monster cropping?
Gotcha thanks for clearing that up for me a lot of firsts on this grow bugs, and putting plants back in veg it wonāt hurt a thing if they heal I will scrog them I have never done that either but I absolutely love Growing more so than smoking the bud it seems like but we know that isnāt so. I think itās relaxing and helps with PTSD itself.

I canāt find a bug 1 today after the jacks but I am not stopping treatment but honestly they donāt look any worse maybe even a bit better. I do got some leaf curling which I donāt think is related to the bugs. I get my new meter today so gonna flush the 1 plant I didnāt yesterday and see what my runoff ppms are.

I have looked and and looked nothing can I find I think about just leaving them flowering so as not to mess up my perpetual grow this year I am certain after extensive research today It is likely to add about a month to my overall grow time. I think I will take clones tonight put them in root riot cubes and some good ol clonex and usually had great success but never had bugs glad the clones will be easy to keep an eye on. Does this sound like a viable plan? @peachfuzz and @Covertgrower

If your already on a schedule , then stick with itā¦
But watch those clones like a hawkā¦
And even if you donāt see any bugās , you still need to treat them every 3 days for the next week and a halfā¦

Most definitely will sir, also my ppm is 1800 on runoff and I am not 100 percent sure how to read the EC my meter reads it like 4075 us/sm. I realize its really high I guess but what do I do about it I just flushed the things good tonight and put a little more per-lite heavy soil on top of them they needed it anyway. I have feed nothing this grow except MyCO at 1/4 strength and not that for awhile a week or more,So dont understand why everything is so high my tap water is 203ppm so decent there RO or some other solution I guess. I have since found 1 bug so more treatment is necessary, As a matter of fact I just ordered a large bottle of concentrate so I can mix a bit stronger in some cases if needed . RTU seems like iād need a case of it to truly treat them good.

Things are looking good today I am doing there second treatment tonight when the lights get close to going out and hit everything again with the Jacks, I was curious should I do a brew to put some beneficial bacteria in the soil in a week or so after a few more treatments of Jacks?
