Thanks for your note. Let me know how the landscaping cloth works. I found that using a vacuum cleaner with an adjustable speed set on low to suck them up really helps to keep the population down. I am also using the yellow sticky paper and that works well too. The bugs seem to do better in my...

Thanks for responding to my question about bugs. I gave you a rep point.:joint::joint::joint:

I have fungus gnats in my organic containers. I have been vacuuming them many times each day and that seems to be keeping them down. I read that Mosquito Dunks will kill the Fungus Gnat larvae but it is not available in Canada. A friend pick some up for me when they visited the US. I don't have...

Hey Kush, I have fungus gnats in my organic containers. I have been vacuuming them many times each day and that seems to be keeping them down. I read that Mosquito Dunks will kill the Fungus Gnat larvae but it is not available in Canada. A friend pick some up for me when they visited the US. I...

I now have gnats, probably from the worm castings. I don't think they are damaging my girls but they annoy the hell out of me and the population is exploding. I did a search for information and found some preventative measures but it's too late to prevent and I don't want to use pesticides. I'm...

I suggest you look at You Tube, they have videos on almost everything. You should also try the Google search engine. I'll bet you will find the videos there. :idea:

My first organic planting was done before I found this list and I planted in Scott's and Miracle Grow soils. Since finding this list I have top dressed with bone and blood meal and castings. The plants are doing well although I have not flowered them yet. Two weeks to go! :weed: I want to make...

This is my first grow and I am using both organic and hydro methods for comparison. Each system has it's pros and cons and the pro of hydro is speed in growth! My hydro plants are almost double in size. I took the lowest 2 suckers off a girl (I hope) growing in hydro and planted them in organic...

I harvested a male this week :cry: he was beautiful. I shouldn't complain because the male/female ratio seems to be bang on at 50/50. I'm not 101% sure about the other males yet but I'm 95% sure. I harvested the tops although I know the debate is still on about potency of males. Can I recycle...

I referring to the discs around the plants in SICCS photos posted on March 12. They look like CDs but now I see they are round labels placed each plant that identify the plant. I have never seen these before. What a great idea. Sorry but I did not realize this group was for old boys only. I...

What's the purpose of the CDs? Are these being used as tags? :roll: Good idea because I once used tooth picks and they went moldy and took the sprouts with them. :wall:

I think you are supposed to germinate in the dark. Don't put them under lights until they crack open.

I dislike all advertising and most of it is inflated as to the benefits. I'm glad that the owners of this site are making advertising dollars however I choose to ignore banner ads. :joint::-?

Howdy neighbor, nice of you to say hi...regards :weed:

I have another question that is not related to organics. I respect your methods and hope you don't mind me asking. (How Canadian eh, we're so polite :lol:) I wonder if and how you prune. I have read many articles and opinions but there does not seem to be a clear cut, sure fire, best method...

If you think waiting for the seeds to arrive is difficult, wait until they start growing and you can't stop looking at them. Grow...now...faster....:bigjoint:

Great, thanks for that. I am in Toronto 2 or 3 times a month. :joint::cool:

Hey everyone, great forum. I've learned lots and my grow is doing well. What is the vBExperience rating system? Is this described somewhere? :bigjoint:

Where do I find bat guano in S Ont? Do I have to buy on-line? :bigjoint:

Thanks for the articles on composting. I have some questions. :bigjoint: Organics is about creating living soil rich in organisms. Is your set up actually inside your house and created in a controlled situation? What about compost created outside on the ground where it interacts with the earth...
