Praise Jah that I'm growing outdoors. ;-) Cannot imagine dealing with these pests in a sanitary grow room.

Oh yes ... I am aware that it ain't over until it is over. I've had enough experience with spider mites to know that they are persistent pests. I am going to rinse and repeat. Literally. Twice. A rinse spray tomorrow to get rid of the dead and decaying pest bodies ... then a repeat chilli...

Hi guys and girls, Can or does a plant repair minor spider mite damage to the leaves ? I noticed some minor white stippling on some of the leaves on some of my 6 week old plants earlier this week. I paid closer attention after a day or two, and did a proper underleaf inspection. Sure enough...

A shout out of respect and kudos. You're knowledgeable, you take the time to explain well, and you're patient and polite. I appreciate and value reading your contributions. :clap:

This is it folks. Black strap molasses without sulphur or any preservatives contains Rhizobacteria. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizobacteria Rhizobacteria align with the plant roots and make the soil nutrients more available to the plant for uptake. The beneficial growth effect is from...

Schweet ... ... must be a girl ;-) Lucky fella ... I've found that it pays to be a bit bold and enterprising ... ... people seem to be more than happy to help out a passionate slightly crazy person with their hobby if you ask nicely and politely. And if you drop off a nice clean container...

@kratos015 Do you mean if we're overwatering, we'll find worms coming up to the soil surface ?

I collected fresh horse shit and bedding straw from a local stable, and put it in a concrete trough to age and mellow. Horse manure first, and then the straw as a top layer to keep most of the flies away, then a loose cover. 4 weeks later I lifted the cover ... and bam ... Mushrooms. I dug...

Exactly. The microbes and rhizobacteria and mycelium are the true gardeners who feed our plants. Our job is to be the custodian of a healthy balanced biodiverse soil in which they can thrive and do our work for us.

Sweet Just looked them up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosera_capensis The "Cape" in their name is from where I live.

Yup, indeed. And it's the proper botanical name and classification. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis Give the plant some respect.

Check this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/soil-mite-questions-hypoaspis-stratiolaelaps-scimitus.1033349/#post-15996441 And read this reference: https://web.extension.illinois.edu/soil/SoilBiology/arthropods.htm Some of the mites are very beneficial.

What is that ? :D Please explain for the uneducated.

+1 I prepped all of my living soil with all of my compostable food waste going through my worm bins. I also collected fresh horse shit and bedding straw from the local race track stables, and put the manure in an outside concrete trough to age mellow and mature with the straw on top, and a...

Oh ... and in South Africa ... we had a similar situation. 'Dagga' was chosen as the term used in (White majority) newspapers for precisely the same reason. It was the 'local native' term and created a similar fear amongst the White ruling class. It's pronounced in a very guttral way ... the...

No disrespect dude, and I certainly do feel for people who have their prime lovingly tended cannabis grows messed with by cross-pollination ... But hemp ain't just for CBD. Are you aware that the drive to have 'Marijuana' illegalised was supported by Du Pont lobbying in the US. His company...

Yep. It's impossible to do an urban backyard grow in South Africa without getting some seeded bud. Luckily, it's all cannabis from fellow enthusiasts, and not commercial hemp. Admittedly, we'd all prefer for them to wise up and bin bag cover-and-seal their males and dispose of responsibility...

[ Disclaimer : Non US person commenting ] The best interpretation I have heard for the current "Trump was robbed" challenges is that it has nothing to do whatsoever with any real or imaginary hope of overthrowing overturning the 2020 election result. It's all just PR folks. It's all just...

Here's a local seed cleaning or separation technique we use. Get a magazine with a non glossy cover, or even better, an A4 or letter page size envelope. Hold it in the middle of the bottom on the short side with your thumb on top, and your other fingers underneath. Press down with your thumb...

Outdoor ... good soil ... natural fertilisers only ... ... that combo can produce some sweet tasting and butt kicking bud Look at these two little pieces of scrag I discovered budding 3 months ago outside a back room in my digs: Lovely deep purple on the smaller one: - Shitty pot -...
