Holler!
I seem to have a few questions, I thought I'd ask them here, before they turn into problems.
Anyway.
A few years ago, my tomatoes were overrun by the dreadful aphid scourge known as the spider mites. They ravaged and eradicated everything, despite my best attempts. I basically decided to give up. I nuked the place, dismantled the edifices, and went on with my existence.
However, a few months ago, an associate of mine bestowed upon me a few tomato seeds, so I decided to fire up the machines of old.
Anyway, all is fine and well, but recently, I have noticed that a band of harvestmen(phalangium opilio) have taken up residence within the location of the plants.
I do believe that after what I have done to the place, the mites are gone, there are days I still dread their return.
Since harvestmen eat aphids(and because harvestmen are one of my favourite species of beings) I decided to leave them alone.
My question is: Do they pose any sort of threat to the plants? If anything, I'd prefer if they stayed, but if their existence threatens the existence of the plants, I intend to purge them too.
I really do hope they will not live up to their name though...
My other question is: Is there any way to tell from a tomato plant whether it is 'dank' or 'schwag'?
I have inspected them quite closely for some time, and what I have gathered so far, is that they are of the indica variety of tomato plants, they possess an earthly smell, combined with...freshly cut grass after rain.
Also, it has quite broad leaves(its individual leaf parts often overlap each other)
And the colour, I'd say it is somewhere between Cal Poly and Phthalo green.
I have had the to utilize the final product to my greatest benefit, and it, too, confirmed my beliefs that it is of an indica variety(although the way it was cured and manicured was an insult to everything)
With my limited knowledge, I have managed to postulate that they may be of the famed Aurora Borealis, or at least some sort of relative to them.
Is there a way to confirm whether my assessment has any merit?
Or
Are there other varieties which exhibit the same traits?
Thank you for your time, and your answers in advance.
