We all live similar lives, I have been pulling weeds and nursing my sore back, thinking how can I make growing easier when I start back up in the fall.

Haha see you are starting to understand my life completely now and why “story of my life” is my go to line lol, I gave it all away 40 days or so ago as I felt horrible not being able to make Susan’s RSO, so I gave her ALL the plant matter to get someone to make it herself and promised I’d give her an absolute abundance sometime in June before my birthday. Lol and I bet a whole bunch went to waste

I didn’t know that was a thing, my God I wish I saw this years ago, my last home had a huge stone inlay section and the walkway around was all brick/custom. Between the stupid crab grass and those stones I’d spend weeks out there hunched over with my stupid little weed tool!

It’s not going to help you in your garden bed but on your patio it’s a lifesaver. In my experience it needs to be redone every third year but it beats the shit out of weeding.

Ok I’ve got all of my recently acquired cuts uppotted and all but one look stellar, they have been in quarantine appx 13 days now with no signs of anything , but before even bringing them to the floor my cultivation takes place I want to ensure they are golden. What should I use to ensure these are clean and good to go so I can start turning them into moms and get working on the new mom area. (Borg)

Get a black piece/ sheet of glass or similar like a mirror
Tap/ shake plant vigorously but not hard enough to cause damage over glass
Maybe like ruffling a nefews hair
Then scope what’s on glass to see : )
I use black glass I got from ikea , nice tool to have

Heavy, glossy black paper if you can’t find glass. Dollar store. Lots of grow hack stuff there.

A boring fact but they say a drop of Coca Cola on a ladybugs back stops wings from opening ( sticky ) and then stops them flying to the lights to die

I heard that as well long ago but never tried it, was always so sad cleaning up after flower, bodies everywhere! I had a couple that lingered and lived an entire cycle once, I’d see them pop up here and there and be like “still there huh, nice” and when I was going to chop and found them I let them go in my front yard, figured they earned it 10x over

Get a sprayer and mix Coca Cola and water 1:1 and spray the lady bugs. Put them at the base of the plants. This absolutely stops them from flying for a period of time.
Orange eggs on the bottom of the leaves is baby ladybug eggs followed by black and orange alligator looking things
