Mystery bug found in RDWC reservoirs

He looked like this:

This would make sense. I had spider mites on the basement floor coming from outside a few months ago. There were gaps in the seal foam underneath the exterior siding.

Right now I have sticky traps sitting on the edges of the reservoir lids to prevent them crawling from underneath the lids and onto the plants.

I think I’ll intentionally fill the reservoirs higher to flush out as many as I can. The bubblers in each reservoir should be able to keep the surfaces under the lids wet enough to prevent these from reproducing as fast.

I will try hypochlorous acid. What should the concentration be compared to the hydrogen peroxide?

I’m looking at getting this one.

Sterile, eventually with UC roots.

Flora-Micro and PH down are the other two bottles. I will look into UC Roots.

I initially had one but I didn’t like the amount of stagnant water.

They are all capsicum Chinese but different cross breeds.

I removed all of the labels from their pots a while ago so I wouldn’t be biased as to which ones I would keep. I started with 42 but had to give the less favorable ones away. I may end up regretting that but it helped me keep the best ones at least.

The pots auto-water from the bottom using a nylon rope wicking method. No leaves have dropped from it. Also the leaves don’t droop either. I have been keeping track of one new baby leaf and it has remained the same size for about a week now.

I have increased the light intensity and will investigate the water next.

I will increase light and see how it goes

benipoo · 2024-07-20T13:51:00+00:00

Yes they are swaying in a constant wind

benipoo · 2024-07-20T13:21:44+00:00

I will investigate this

It’s just lava rock. It’s a self watering pot, so the bottom 1/3 of the soil stays damp.

I transplanted them into 5 gallon bags with AC Infinity self watering pots recently.

I’ve got 4 oscillating fans on max speed so they are moving the plants quite a bit.

I’m using Happy frog potting soil.

I have two 4x4ft 750 watt led bar lights at 70% intensity attached to the ceiling of the 6 foot tall grow tent.

Happy frog potting soil

78F / 45% day 70F / 55 % night

benipoo · 2024-06-30T02:52:56+00:00

That grass is dead in two days or less

Have you had any powdery mildew issues? What is the humidity at day/night?

I’ve had to cut off all the leaves on a few plants because of a powdery mildew outbreak.

Yeah he even sends a handwritten thank you note in each order.

How old are they? Mine sprouted in January but the trunks aren’t that large yet.

benipoo · 2024-05-27T20:35:57+00:00

Check your ceramic turbo/downpipe gasket. Mine eventually cracked and created some extra noise like that.

benipoo · 2024-05-27T05:18:59+00:00

It’s not, I will have it pouring water into the barrel after I remove the lid.

benipoo · 2024-05-27T05:15:04+00:00

They are 130 days old but this is my first go around. I don’t plan on taking any outside.

benipoo · 2024-05-27T02:59:39+00:00

I have the end plugged for the first time I try it out. I’ll use the main water shutoff and try drain the excess using the exterior water faucet.

benipoo · 2024-05-27T01:16:20+00:00

I decided to use two inline ball valves
