You can also use copper mesh, like the kind you pack a reflux column with, or they sell for slugs in flower gardens, termites on fnd walls. It electrocutes the roots, like your inner arm on a VHF/UHF antennae. Or Permatex Copper head gasket spray on fabric

YES!
Thatās exactly how the āpot socksā that come with the Autopot Spring pot set-up work. They are a nylon type fabric lined with copper.

How often do you use trivia, and when?
I use Tribus a couple times a week, from sprout to a couple weeks before harvest. Not the only microbes I use these days, also use Fishsh!t a couple times a week, and Recharge (also has microbes) weekly. I like a wide range of microbes.

No, Iāve only used the original Tribus so far but will pick up a bottle of the Tribus Bloom and start using that in flowering, has a couple different microbes that are probably more geared towards phosphorus uptake which should be a good thing in flowering.

I had a question about how to use the California light works uvb light? Iām in week 3 of flower and know itās only to be used in the last few weeks of flowering and that i should stay out of the riom when on. Iām still trying make sure there are no hermies in the mix, so when would you recommend turning on the UVB light? Thanks for your time.
Depends on strain flowering time. Iām presently growing a 9 week flowering strain so will be using UVB for weeks 7,8, and 9. Will do 2 hours of UVB a day somewhere in the middle of the light cycle at a time Iām usually not home to open the tent.
From the user manual on when to use it
SUGGESTED TIMING
The SS-UVB is designed to be used during the last 2-3 weeks before harvest, when
it can make a noticeable impact on plants. It is suggested to run your SS-UVB for
2-6 hours per day at 36" above the plant. If youāre unable to mount the light at 36"
above your plants, decrease the amount of exposure time. Do not power your
SS-UVB on during your dark period as this can cause unwanted effects. Always
monitor your plants to make sure you are getting the desired response, while
making any necessary adjustments in height and/or on time to increase or
decrease UVB exposure as desired. Growers typically see a noticeable difference
in the amount of trichomes within the first two days after running the SS-UVB for
just a few hours per day. Many growers also notice leaves changing color in
response to UVB exposure.

Whats the difference between bloom and lumina? I have the lumina from black friday, but have yet to research. Better answer here, than my research. Lol.
I bought the 3 pack variety of Tribus direct from Impelloā¦when I sent them an email about feeding instructions, they basically said all three were similar, only a subtle difference between them. Iām using them on my current grow. Iām in flower in one tent and still in veg in the other, so Iām using Original + Flower in one tent and Original + Bloom in the other. The plants are growing, but hard to tell if theyāre really benefitting since both tents are new/never before grown strains. Between these two duos along with FishSh!t and Recharge, Iām a microbe dosing MF!

I believe youāre typically referred to as patient zero in the medical journals.

Lumina is amino acids mostly, probably a byproduct or waste product from their Tribus products that they figured they could sell to us suckers rather than throwing out. LOL Amino acids are good but Iām not sold on the product and hate what it does to the pH (drops it big time).
Bloom is another version of Tribus which has a couple other microbe added and a bit more concentrated like 14 billion cfuās vs the 10 billion cfuās in the Tribus Original.

Well, i guess it was a cheap bottle of tribus o if nothing else. Most of us have the lumina after black friday i guess. So no one raving about its use i take it. Havenāt heard anything about it.

Yeah having to use more than 100 drops of ph up to bring it back from 4.3 to 5.8 (for four gallons of Jacks) is a bit of a turnoff for me.

I get that using Power Si (for silica) drops the ph big time.
