OOoh! Looking forward to seeing you grow out those God Buds!
I have crosses made from those, great squat fast plant. I am reluctant to start those without a purpose, I was delighted to find a few more Querkle seeds. I’m not sure what to do with some of these, in the meantime, their fridge is being defrosted. LOL
Anybody use BT in their water? I’ve used it before to knockdown and destroy fungus gnats, but I’m trying to find out what it does to the soil life in a tlo system…other than the easy to find info like not harming predators or worms…Imma gonna do some looking, but does anyone have any offhand experience? I’m thinking there is a lot uknown seeing as the gov. uses it massively to fight moths, but the warning label and restrictions from our gov. for residential/personal use are somewhat ominous? Lemme know, pic update later, doing an complete gound floor paint job ATM so busy,…lol.
I did for a while getting a bad fungus gnat infestation under control, didn’t seem to affect microbial efficiency as far as I was aware, but the plants were suffering a lot from the gnats as well so it’s hard to say for sure.
I use this:
in combo with: dryouts, fogging safers end all, and sticky traps.
I always have this problem in the winter with all my houseplants.
I blame the wife and her tropicals…I do the exact same, looove dealing with the sticky traps and 'changing up the IP routine…
ahh the price we pay for organic love.
Once pleaded for ‘organic’ help with the bugs on my outdoor plants…
.
No more faith-based growing for me…
It totally works. Gnatrol is the shit. Sometimes I use it once early on as a preventative, but when I have an actual infestation, I water with it two or three times every eight days and the fungus gnats are GONE.
I’ve seen some people use it regularly, gnats or not; I wouldn’t do that. But yeah, if you have an infestation, Gnatrol will wipe them out. You might even only have to use it once, depending on, you know… the gnats haha.
The nematodes are very specific in what they kill. Never had a problem!
that’s what I’m using right there 30 bucks at Home hardware. Haven’t found anything too bad about it yet. As for Nematodes, I try to innoculate my soil, with some from one of my wifes tropical trees. I bumped the container after watering one day and holy shit hundreds of them came to the surface briefly. So I think I have a natural community of them but transplanting and soil handling sure kicks the crap out of their numbers. I used 3 or 4 different bugs one year with added nematodes, it was fun to watch the war more than it was effective, but fun lol. I haven’t noticed any bad things about BT, but my eyes aren’t good enough to see nematodes, let alone spidermites and thrips LOL.
I feel your insect pain. This winter has been BRUTAL.
F’ing Gnats and Thrips non-stop battle.
Everything looks great despite the bullshit your dealing with @Cannasaurusrex !
The real bullshit in my life is still what wifey and I shared with you when we had our plant exchange. I am tired of work, only 60, wife is retiring for now (breakdown) and my daughter quit her job of 14 years. We land rich and cash poor, so we are starting over, and changing things to restore our undaunted, ‘stroger when challenged’ positive outlook for the future, while remembering that evrything can be lost in the blink of an eye. Doing nothing is a choice I cannot take with our family. Growing is part of my normal life, I enjoy the challenge again. Zen and the art of pollen chucking, LOL Thanks for dropping in respected friend.
Oh by the way @Pigeonman your Plumeria, almost bloomed late fall, but I couldn’t keep her flowerhead alive in my growroom. anyway its got 3 branches now and we are expecting her to be beautiful this year!!! Fingers Crossed!!
It’s your wife’s Plumeria now!
And yes they really hate our winters.
Just finishing off last years outdoor UK Cheese, btw. It was a beauty last year, best I got out of her, She lives on…
