Ok so instead of spraying when there's a problem just constantly integrate beneficials to your garden, how many is too many? To infinity and beyond

perfect get like 40 of those, mantids need to start a bunch and separate there egg cases around the garden so they don't eat each other
*damn messenger posts to much random stuff, also you probably don't need 40 I just always go overboard with them because they're cool

I ordered a few packs. My yard is loadedwith mantis in the summer. They are so cool. They just chill by my pool in our garden area. Lots of rose of Sharon and hisbiscus to hunt on.
Im started to rethink the scrogging plan some. The house next door to me after being for sale for 8 yrs, has ppl interested. I'm still planning balls to the wall but I'm gonna design it stealthier. Gonna build a big planter more long than wide and start at on end and work towards the other. I wasn't wanting to do a ton of work but I can't be as lax about visibility. Even If I have to do just one....I'm doing a monster scrog. I thought about being an asshole to the ppl looking at the house to discourage them but figured they might be my neighbors and I don't need a bad start. Gonna dig 2' down and build the planter 4x15x2high. That's what my area is reduced to due to visibility. Gotta work with what i got. I only grow for head so I should be set regardless lol.

My seeds will be here today, I'm hoping. Almost done mixing in the perlite. My neighbor is gonna swing over with his little backhoe and dig out my planter and drop a load of soil for me. I'll use my mix in the top. The planter will be in surrounded by our veggie garden and hisbiscus. Shits chaotic at the moment but it's getting done lmao

Time to decide on what to grow this summer.

Sex bud (c99).....female seeds
Skunk....female seeds
White Castle (widow X ice)...nirvana
White widow....greenhouse, seedsman
Kush.....Royal queen
Bubblegum.....Royal queen

Out of those I'll be choosing 2 to grow. I'll also grow out 2 regular cherry mint from professor Paul's.
The 2 I grow will be scrog outdoors. Any input would be appreciated

Gonna do an outdoor hydro that's hooked up to my fish and turtle pond. It'll be tied to the main circulation to keep the water level proper. The bulkhead is the return to the pond. The small blue tube will raise the water every 20 minutes. Not sure if it'll work but I wanna try it. I'll use cuts from whatever I decide to grow. Any thoughts?

It's official! All my beans are safe and secure in the fridge. My cherry mint from prof. Pauls were the last to recieve. I've been working on my hydro idea and think I can pull this off. I think I'll be doing diesel and the sexbud(c99) in a scrog. Cuts will go into my outdoor hydro dealy. I'll also do 2 cherry mint regular in hopes of a male and female for breeding and crossing. I'll flower a cut of each inside in June to make sure I don't end up with two males. That'll give me enough time to start another if needed. I may switch the diesel at the last minute due to smell concerns.

Here's my post from my ? Thread on the hydro and what I came up with for feeding

Ok, so I think I have this figured out. It's pretty obvious to me that over the course of this part of my outdoor grow, the I'll need to feed. The problem is I don't want to hurt the fish or cause a massive algae bloom in my pond. I'm going to try to treat this like my reef tanks. I use a refugium that is a tank to grow micro algae and other plants such as mangroves and shit. What this does the s break down nutrients so that my water stayed clean. I'm going to make one to go after the hydro in a "marsh" seep. This should remove all extra nutrients if I can get the right turn over. Hence, imo, once dialed in, I should be able to feed pretty heavy. This isn't thrilling to me to have to do this but I think it's gonna be necessary to pull this off riu style. The fun part will be that I'm gonna make it part of my pond. I think the turtles and frogs will dig it.

Got most of the details figured out. Just gotta add a t between the pump and hydro to redirect some flow and lower the water level. Water is funky but it's sat all winter. Should be clear by tomorrow
Next project is my little marsh
