hey there @SEMOActivist! i found this grow journal by following you from your spirit train seed run. i hope this thread of yours gets more attention, but sometimes new threads can get buried.
sorry to hear about your aphid (and mites?) issue, yikes! that’s the emergency nuke button you’ve gotta activate when you see them. i hope you’re able to get them under control. i haven’t personally had to deal with them yet, but i rue the day when it’ll happen! i know there’s a thread on overgrow about different ipm sprays and schedules.
there are some very simple recipes you can brew up, as well as slightly more complicated ones, but nothing too hard to cook up i’d say. your plants are doing so well, it’d be a shame if those aphids were able to take them down. i hope some other og’ers can chime in with thoughts and ideas. maybe @DesertHeartGardens @ReikoX @CrunchBerries ?
apart from that, damnnn those turtles are hella cute! maybe even cuter than @breadwinner’s ducks, but i dunno…
