    Ladybugs, Lacewings, and Trifecta

    Yeah don’t really like sharing bad stuff that happens; prefer to post nothing but beautiful plants all the time but I thought this info would help someone maybe. Have had issues with insects but this is just crazy; it is from trading clones. This whole thing started in my friends garden and got...

    Ladybugs, Lacewings, and Trifecta

    FYI… ladybugs do not live in the packet they ship in for long. The ones I had saved for backup died over the weekend…moment of silence thank you that is all

    Ladybugs, Lacewings, and Trifecta

    So this is what I’m dealing with… Hey…who blew coke all over my plants; not cool:mad: After spraying the trifecta PM disappears but then again neem oil did much the same… And the ladybugs keep on doing their thing which I hope is eating up all these little white bugs. did not spray this...

    Ladybugs, Lacewings, and Trifecta

    Fungus gnats are fairly easy to control even without help from a bottle. DE and sticky traps usually keep them at a minimum. They come from outta my worm bin so a net over the top keeps them from escaping. They keep dying and the worms devour their carcasses over and over again. Ahh The circle...

    Ladybugs, Lacewings, and Trifecta

    Been putting DE on my soil for awhile. Did not seem to deter them. I have wooly aphids; I used to call them thrips but I guess they are not the same thing. I was reading that PM is the result of the wooly aphids. Spraying neem oil and Monterey Garden Spray w/spinosad on the plants made the PM...

    Ladybugs, Lacewings, and Trifecta

    Baking soda is a great idea; gonna try that thx Nizz. Appreciate your input curious; ill go check out regalia but since I spent the dough on Trifecta I’m going to see how it does. I am worried that it will hurt the lady bugs so figure I’ll wait a few days before spraying anything else. Chose...

    Ladybugs, Lacewings, and Trifecta

    Have not been posting pics because plants in my bloom room are frosted with powdery mildew. Only a few clones in the veg area are showing signs of PM but the rest of my grow is infested with wooly aphids. It started with some minor flooding that wasn’t properly dealt with and then we saw bugs...

    Fungus in soil

    Not good or bad really. Mushrooms fruiting in your soil suggests you are keeping the mix moist. Having fungi suggests healthy soil albeit a little too moist possibly for a bit too long. Mycorrhizae is what you want in your mix for symbiosis but it’s possible to have many different varieties of...

    Cant get ph to drop

    Right…that’s why you put everything in the soil before there are plants growing in it. Then you just add water. Wait 30 days after amending soil to normalize ph and no chances are taken.

    Cant get ph to drop

    The thing about organic soil is that you need microbial activity to keep ph in proper range for absorption. If your plants are healthy and green you don’t have a ph imbalance. As long as you keep the soil active by adding compost and/or aacts the ph will remain in range. Microbes need fertilizer...

    They said it couldnt be Done!! Azurescens & Copelandia

    There’s all kinds of experimentation going on at the shroomery. I’ve seen people make liquid inoculant and literally dump a bucket of it under their deck and shrooms grow there a week or two later. Not sure that works for cubensis. I feel you though; shroomin is supposed to be fun. Weed grows...

    What Seed Bank Carries Some Of The Best Genetics Hands Down!! (Keeping Pheno Hunting In Mind)

    For years you couldn’t get beans in the US unless you ordered from overseas. Now it’s like the opposite; you’ll still get your order from overseas but takes several weeks to get through customs. Never received a “crushed” seed but even the more popular seed banks sell old stock. Like budz says...

    Agar bitches

    I got some petris and did a pour tek last night. Was fun to play around with my cool new Erlenmeyer flask which made pouring out hot agar super easy. Made kind of a mess because I overfilled a few dishes which spilled into the floor of my SAB but I think the plates came out ok anyway. Streaked...

    Cubensis liquid culture…legal? What changed??

    Ok well ….LC straight to grains then. I’m going to show how I do agar work in my other thread but here is how I prep grains. I like whole oats because they are super cheap and available locally. Got a 50 lb bag from tractor supply which I split with 2 friends. Works out to $8 per for 16+ lbs of...

    Mushrooms

    I find it easier to dose too because tea starts to kick in like 15-20 mins after ingesting. Dry shrooms can be hard to get down and get stuck in yer teeth when you are trying to eat em real fast; I always gotta have a beer or two to chase it down. Salty stuff like fries or chips along with...

    Mushrooms

    Not true; I’ve brewed gallons of tea. Boiling does not hurt the end product at all. If you are using fresh cut wet mushrooms you don’t even need heat just steep in cold water for a few hours to extract the goodies. Psylocybin is water soluble and mushrooms are mostly water. For better taste I...
