They make the camera show strange shadow bars. Something about the wavelength. Otherwise I have no complaints, I have two and they do a nice job growing plants

One of the WMBK had a decent tail, 3 others had some tail, and 2 stayed in the cup. Here is my 
technique:dizzy:
I grab the little guy with these bent forceps. I like their shape for stuffing them in the cubes but it probably doesn’t matter, whatever you can grab the safely with. If the tails are long I will rip the cube in half like a hotdog bun and lay the seed in. Then they go back on the shelf until they get leaves.
I’ll post my little light I like when their leaves pop out.

Last two WMBK popped, and I took the helmet off a couple. Here’s the $5 light I like to use for seedlings.

Squash are awesome! I’m way behind on my garden, but I did get some starts for giant pumpkins. This reminded me to give them some TLC - their roots haven’t hit the motherlode of composted chicken poo yet, so I just used one of my nitrogen foliar sprays from the pot plants on them

Thanks for helping get me started here! I’m excited to look through your thread, my Jack Herer in the indoor grow thread sprouted at about the same time as yours but she grew up in a prison tent, not the great outdoors like yours!

I suspect one of the Chernobyl is male and one is female. Topped for the 2nd time today. I’m trying to train a little earlier.

Great setup! I like to add 1 per cent of hydrogen peroxide in the water! It has been scientifically proven that the germination process becomes faster and more successful.

Its dry here too. Even the grass in the pasture is turning brown. I water my plants everyday but they are still stressed. Hang in there.

Oh no.y wife found a singular horn worm a few days ago. She deposited his behind into the bird feeder and told him good luck.

Ooo! That one looks parasitized, I think you’re supposed to let those live if you can so the parasitic wasps can reproduce. They’ll kill the hornworm eventually.

Let that worm live. Those white sacs are parasitic wasp eggs I believe. They will kill it And eat it and make more wasps to kill more worms. I love seeing yellow jackets in my garden because I know they’re eating all the cabbage worms

I’m glad to hear you both say that. I was pretty sure that’s what I was seeing. The wasps lay eggs in the caterpillar, the eggs hatch and eat the caterpillar insides, then the larve makes this white rice looking structure as a cocoon to pupate. I think I seen little hatch doors open like the wasps flew away to lay eggs in other horn worms!
I guess the caterpillar will just stand here till he’s eaten by a bird? Or falls over dead? Either way, good for the wasps. These horn worms can take out some tomatoes.
Funny story I was telling my kid about the wasp, and he asked “is this real? Or like the time you told me Joe Rogan used to make people eat bugs?” Both are true child!
