ya im kinda burnt about the cubes but its what ever, i could still use them for seeds i guess, they are also realy hard to get to absorb water, i had to soak them in a cup and hold them down under the water to even soak some up, it sounds odd but they almost seem water proof.
thanks for stopping in man

I have to pick up some seed starters this weekend, I think I finally figured out the layout for my garden.

I got dumped on with 14 inches of snow yesterday so it'll be a little while before I make any real progress on it.

dam 14 inches od snow, thats crazy. im glad im not some where that it snows this time of year.
the best seed starters i have used is just a 72 cell tray and just black golds seed.cut mix with a few handfulls of mushroom compost and they seem to love it and pop up fast.

Cool, that's what I'll probably pick up then. And yeah it was a really weird storm, lightning and thunder mixed with snow. Really unseasonal too.

the whole line of black gold soils, and composts are great and cheap.
and the storm kinda sounds cool, i really like ot be in storms for some reason, probably cuz we dont have them much here

ThunderSnows,.... One of my favorite oddity's about Colorado!!!!

And Gropple, (little snow balls falling like rain) I've seen Gropple balls almost 1/2" in diameter!

We are privileged enough to live in one of the few spots that has EVERY kind of precipitation. Verga, rain, sleet, hail, gropple, and snow.

heres where im at... I gotta go back and read some posts.



hey mc purp Iv xplanted from party cups with soil to my hydro by soaking the dirt away and it worked great, not a root was harmed

Boy I miss my new orleans down pores! "Big ol' fat rain"

whodat- how much sun does that area recieve? enjoying the way those above ground planters are looking!

It gets Maybe 12hrs direct sunlight then the rest is shady... I may be off with that but those pics were taken at the end of the day

nice sounds like it should have plenty of good light. i was just thrown off from the pics as it looked like those fences would be blocking a nice amount of the avaliable light.

12 hours is good man, my spot gets about 9-10 in mid summer at most and it grows uncontrollably. i wish i had more light but i cant cut any trees cuz we rent, plus it is a huge branch that i need removed

I wish I could do outdoor, the spot the veggies are in are on my neighbors property and right next to an electric meter so thats a no go... Iv started some small plants outside as a youngin but have never done a full cycle outside but I want to soooooo bad! Its the way mother nature intended and I need to grow outdoors soon before I completely loos it ahaha

it will happen some day man, i am thinking of doing a small guirilla grow this year just for fun with some autos maybe, i wont have much time this year to do it so they wont be te best lookers but like i said its just for fun and so i can grow some pot, its been like a year and a half since i grew a plant

well i took 3 cuts off a rose bush at a friends house.
i soaked them all in hormex for 1 minute and then put 1 in the bubble cloner,1 in the jiffy/AN cube and one in the black gold seed/cut mix.
2 of them are already wilted to shit and one is looking really perky still, the one doing the best is in the seed/cut mix i use i am using these to see what roots them the best and i will use that tech every time after, i still want to mess with the bubble cloner though, i am not checking its ph at all or anything like that just putting the cuts in it to see what happins. im sure if i dialed in teh cloner it would work better. the pine apple has 2 half inch roots or what appears to be roots but the plant its self is in pretty bad shape but the guide said this would happin

i got a few things at the hydro shop today and got a new spider plant for free.

it is already mature and making babies.
my plant inventory increases by the day

and all plants besides the seedlings got hit with neem oil today a a preventer, i dont have bugs besides ants

I think ants hate cinnamon... put it in a spray and apply where needed...

EDIT: looks like you just pour the powder where they are colonizing... Safe for pets and people and all that

i did the Cinnamon last time i grew in the closet it helps a bit but didnt keep them away, i think they like it cus it is warm in theri i got some terro ant killer gel it is borax and sugar and the ants eat it and take the poison back to the colony and die and then others eat the dead and get poisoned as well, they are diminishing but they are just annoying to have crawling on you when you check the plants.
i look all over my house and followed theri trail about 2 blocks down the road in the grass of an old folks home. so i could t really do any thing about them last year, i couldn't believe they travels that far just to get to my house, this was last year as well so they could have moved if they do move colonies

jesus 2 blocks!!! thats funny as hell. I can just picture some high dude following ants down the street

ya i guess that wold be funny to see, people probably thought i was tweaking and following and imaginary line or some shit.
i hate the lil fuckers.

well this year i am going to either buy 1800 ladybugs for the garden or a mantis egg sack that has 300-400 babies in it. i dont think i can get both cuz the lady said the mantis will eat the lady bugs but only when they are in a certain stage of life and she didn't know what stage. i really want both so i need to find out what stage the mantis's eat the lady bugs. if i cant have both i think i will get the mantis only cuz they can eat more and i have never had them in the garden yet
