How about a proper Jelly Pie hunt of ~50 seeds for F2 breeding stock? I would snap up Cookies & Chem F2 and Jelly Pie F2 in a hurry, provided pictures of the selected female(s) and male(s). Anytime you want to send me 5 packs to hunt through to find some bomb plants (and send cuts back of course), just let me know :D

Jelly Pie would be a good one to look through, I've got some long term goals to offer a whole menu bred from seed instead of clone, but it's going to take some time to get that right. Fems are on the 2019 horizon and I have to continue to harvest stock for the store, but progress is totally being made.

mid 2017 - mid 2018 was a year of expansion, at one point I had seven people on staff + myself. I found out what worked and what didn't and recently I've really trimmed back on the growth to focus more on the product. I've now got two really great people on staff and I'm making myself work overtime. It's engaging so I love it.

I want to be the best place for seeds and that means I have to offer a more diverse catalogue. I know that, and you can trust I'm always trying to get better.

I buy these cheap mosquito larvae pucks that float and slowly dissolve. I throw one in the reservoir after every couple refills.

I think people use them for koi ponds. They work well for fungus gnats and winged aphid control. I’m sure they’d kill mosquito larvae too if there were any in the garden. Non toxic it says.

I forget the name but yes those pucks are just a strain of bacteria so they are non toxic.

Spinosad works great for thrips, but pyrethrin is the only single handed thing I found to work for aphids. I couldn't pick mine up and lay them over to get the underside of the leaves so i took a gallon sprayer and bent a metal sprayer wand w/pipe bender. Aphids are drawn to yellow leaves so I pluck all yellows. I made sure to soak every square inch and the top of the soil along with all the surfaces of the room, then repeated two more times a week apart. I never seen any more. I dont think it kills the eggs so if you have eggs you have to wait for them to hatch and spray again. No dought the hardest critter I've ever had to exterminate and I hate for anybody to get them they can wipe out a crop fast. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the bottom side of the lower yellows, if anybody has them going into flower its nearly impossible to save the crop imo.

I switched to using predatory insects and they slaughter any bug. I enjoy the bugs doing all the work and no spraying undersides of leaves.It's a higher cost for sure but can be used throughout flower.

For aphids, Lacewings are amazing to control an outbreak. The greenhouse I work in had bad aphids last year and ladybugs weren't doing jack. Brought in lacewings and they cleaned up house.

For Thrips I just used A. Cucumeris and Orius Insidiosus and had great success. The insidious are like a freaking terminator the way they hunt em down.
