i thought so m8, just watch how ur using it and just in case it dont get em - Put potato slices on the surface of the soil. The larvae like it and will be drawn to it.. After about 4 to 5 days, remove the potato slices with the larvae. To get rid of them you can do a lot of things like either use a NO pest strip, neem oil or putting sand on the surface of the soil will suffocate the eggs and get rid of them as well. Tobacco juice kills them, and works well for re-occurrences! ;)

They sound like springtails for sure shawny. I had them in my 1st grow and was told their harmless. It's still fucking annoying having bugs i know. I was told that they are there because i wasn't letting the whole pot dry out between waterings. they are ment to live in the damp section of soil/coco at the bottom of the pot. Let your medium completly dry out and they should leave

Hey all, I was redirect here from another thread I posted :)
Once I have moved I am planning on growing, I have just read through the Drug Sentencing Guide lines and I need some pointers please :)

I assume even if you are just caught growing the nine plants that keeps you unders a cat 4 (with minimum sentencing). If they wanted to make an example of you they could charge you with supply and possession also if they wanted. The first question is if they did choose to do what I said how would they determine the combination of Mass of product ETC to figure out the sentence. OR would they just charge you on each account and combined the punsihment fine amounts / time?

This is my main group of questions. I want to grow for personal amounts and I am in the processs of working out what the maximum product in my premisies at one time.
*If you are charged solely with cat 4 cultivation apart from the nine plants that are allowed have much dried bud can you process aslo?
* If I had a perpetual system with 9 plants, I would harvest one plant every two weeks so would have 1/2oz to 2oz dried bud in m premises. would this count as a cat 4 cultivation charge?
* If I had four plants, and 4-8oz max at one time, would that still be Cat 4 cultivation?

At the moment I am assuming, if you can grow nine plants for personal - which have an assumed yeild of 40g per plant. You can really only have nine plants with no product in you house.
If as I would intend to grow four plants at one time, would keeping five (nine plant "allowance" minus my four growing) mutiplied 40g(assumed yeild of plant) in my house keep my as a cat 4 cultivation charge?

Sorry just realized this is quite a long post - I have read the sentencing guideline buts these parts are clear :)
Once I finally know the answer I can plan which system I am using when I eventually grow :)
