I thought I'd found a flush of magic on the lawn :-)

Meah, hay caps i think they're called.

I watched a documentary a couple of years back about using magic mushrooms for anti depressants, Dr Max Mosley had a dose of psylopsybin and during the trip has a brain scan to see what parts the drug was affecting, it was interesting.

It wasn't difficult to see he enjoyed the experience no surprisingly lol.

Thats a decent one its worth a watch mate yeah theres lots of stuff out there on the subject thing is alot of people knew this since the 60s to a certain degree anyway we know it can help many with alcoholism depression or even coming to terms with death for say a patient with uncurable cancer or whatever studies all showed this stuff and its been suppressed for so long sadly but seems times are changing a bit for the better at least

Damn and blast high humidity.

I can only do so much with limited funds.

I've started running a 12ltr dehumidifier 24hrs and still can't get it consistently below 70%, I've one of two options i can think of?

Tough it out as is and make the best of it.
Or remove enough vegetation to lower humidity enough that the 12ltr dehumidifier can make a dent in it, the 20ltr is 430w its not feasible to run it now.

I'm open to any suggestions or any thoughts on 70% humidity?

I done a defoliation the other day to bring it down wasn't up as high as 94 tho I was in the 70s and it brought it down the 50s after defoliating all around the bottoms of the plants not that heavy but it made a difference

The 94% humidity is the outside but that's where I'm pulling air from and venting to, last week i tried removed more leafs and branches but I couldn't bring myself to cut off any more buds.

Sorry bud i meant to ask how much of the canopy did you remove to get the figure down?

Would you remove much more from this canopy?

The thought of removing leafs doesn't appeal much but it's better than the alternative.

Thing is I've read enough to suggest it's OK to do but i still can't get over the psychological side of it lol

Hi, I am looking for a compost/soil mix, that is available in the UK and doesn't come with fuck tons of fungus gnats FOC.

Any suggestions?

A suggestion.

If it were feasible I'd buy it ahead of time and let it dry out completely to kill any bugs?

I've noticed at garden centers it's generally stored outside, with vent holes there I'm not surprised it picks up a few bugs.

It is this peat free nonsense. It is just composted crap to bulk it out. I really haven't got the room to store 200L of compost. It used to be the odd bug. The last lot I bought was full of swarms of them. I got a face full as I opened the bag.

I have been looking for places that store it inside.

I have been considering going to the sole Hydro store in the area and investing in something like Plant Magic or Bio Bizz.
