Can fans are all mostly junk unless you spend the extra $ on a good one. I got a terrabloom that is whisper quiet and has a variable speed control but cost is your entire budget. I still use the inline fan on the right for a filtered intake to the bloom room. Have had the other model too; was so...

“Only good bug is a dead bug” - Lt. Jon Rico, Mobile Infantry

That is a Damsel bug. Predatory species; they eat aphids and other baddies. Problem is they also eat each other so they are not usually sold as predatory insects like lacewings. Interesting; learned something today… https://www.gardenia.net/guide/damsel-bugs

Yep ladybugs sure are some horny fuckers. Eat bugs and make babies; the circle of life

It looks like the picture of lacewing larvae on the package they came in but anything is possible. I thought they were supposed to green…never tried to grow bugs before. Could be a baby lady bug; sure had plenty of sex. Was like a frikkin Roman ladybug orgy in here…

It’s been awhile but the wooly aphids and powdery mildew are gone; Jah be praised. The plants currently in the bloom room were dwarfed by the PM but recovering. You can still see the leaf discoloration in the older growth. Anyway was checking the Blumat drip and saw this guy… This is a...

Liquid fish emulsion and/or seaweed fertilizer is good for maintaining healthy lush green plants as is the occasional aact. Use both of these regularly and you won’t need to “feed.” If you have chickens compost their poop/bedding; chix shit is great fertilizer. Just be sure it is fully...

You can use any kind of organic nursery mix if mostly water only is the goal. A great investment for long term soil management is a worm bin. Adding worm castings to any mix is beneficial but usually requires aeration in the form of perlite or pumice, rice hull, etc.. EWC mostly all you need to...

Ok so my PE6 tub is fucked. Trichoderma again; my old nemesis. It may still fruit but looks bad. Green shit all over the sub. The blue meanie tub looks ok so far I’ll toss up pics if it starts pinning. I have one more jar of healthy spawn imma try doing some trays in my Martha. Stay tuned…in...

The live worms in the 27gal pot may yet survive and even thrive after awhile. It takes a few months for a colony to begin reproducing; their populations will increase if they get a consistent supply of food and are happy with conditions. The refrigerator might kill them by suffocating; they are...

Doesn’t matter what you feed them; wattage makes buds bigger. Genetic lineage is important as well as training but nothing has more affect on bud mass than lighting intensity.

Very helpful link. Thank you Din. I’ve been breaking a few rules it seems giving them lots of pineapple skins, bleached paper, and tomato scraps. They didn’t seem affected in such small quantities but so glad I asked; Capsaicin is not good for worms. Good to know…

Got a weird question and it’s probably not worth starting a whole new thread so thought I would ask the worm bin experts here. So last weekend we got super stoned and made some delicious deep fried jalapeño poppers. Chopped and scooped out all of the seeds and inner green stuff to make room for...

Tobacco mosaic virus is not all that common in MJ plants. It’s more than likely a simple rise in soil ph due to a lack of microbial activity in your mix. If they have been in the same container for awhile they probably just need fresh and active soil. Fertilizers and/or soil conditioners can...

All that stuff looks organic. The lighter newer growth indicates maybe ph is falling out of range. Adding ewc as a top dressing; transplanting to a larger container with fresh base mix and ewc, or brewing an aact w/ewc, kelp, and molasses would help. If you do not currently use granular...

Just add coco and some extra perlite to your base soil cut down a hot mix for seedlings.

Yes. After watering pull up on the container to gauge the weight roughly. When the pots feel light water again; their water needs change as they grow/develop and is directly related to ambient temps/humidity. You are probably holding back on watering because everybody says overwatering is...

So you underwatered them. That’s why the dry tips and the droop. It is possible that even 5g pots are too small for these. If you can’t go 2-3 days no water without getting droop the pots are too small for plants size. At week 5 it seems silly to transplant them now; just ride it out and water...

Very little… I am intimately familiar with another form of acid but it has nothing to do with plants

Hard to say because it depends upon how active the soil mix is w/microbes. For a very healthy soil rich in active compost it takes about 30 days for most organic compounds to begin decomposition. That doesn’t mean it is fully available. Some things like soft rock phosphate can take years to...
