Pandemic 2020

[Jimdamick]

I built a shelter on the back deck last fall, put a heater and a spare light in it to finish off an outdoor plant as a bit of a project. Once they go out they never come back inside and it was trimmed on the back deck and dried there too. The plant was for a buddy and he took care of it outside and never came near the inside grow after either! I don't use pesticides, I use precautions instead.

I used to grow soil indoors & found it to be to be a real pain in the ass, so I converted to a RDWC system years ago but still use germination mix to start my plants, which allows the gnats to develop.
I bought a bag of soil years ago that was infected with gnats & they have never left my room, every grow they still fly around, so I gave up dealing with them (they really are harmless, just annoying)
Anyway, my point is that even using only a limited amount of soil allows fungus gnats too survive, even in a pure hydro situation.
The little fuckers are tough, but really only effect small weak plants at their stem/root system, but that's life in the growing pot world.

I use coco coir myself, hydro results with hand feeding, works well for grows of my scale, just gotta use some calmag. I feed two days days and flush with calmag on the third, rinse and repeat as they say, I've got a small coco coir mountain of a compost pile in a corner of the backyard. I'm gonna grow 4 plants (legal limit) in the backyard this summer but I might use soil for it. I usually shut the inside grow down for the summer any way for flying and traveling, but the plague took care of flying and travel, the cats will be happy though!

Time for some chuckles in the face of death, we laugh in the most dire of circumstances, sometimes it's a choice between that and crying.

Is China lying about numbers because they are like Trump? More worried about the economy than peoples health?

• CBS News "60 Minutes" highlighted its own previous segments after a senior Trump official ( Dumbfuck Navarro ) questioned the integrity of its journalism and commitment to remain apolitical.
• "You say this could not have been anticipated," CBS's correspondent Bill Whitaker said to Peter Navarro, President Donald Trump's trade adviser, in an interview. "Intelligence agencies anticipated it, other foreign countries ..."
• Navarro interrupted: "You can line up every president since then and say, 'Why didn't you think this can happen again?' But that's not productive right now," Navarro added.
• "Have that episode and I challenge you — show me the '60 Minutes' episode a year ago, two years ago," Navarro added.
• "I guarantee you we did," Whitaker responded.........OOPS !
