I've used marigolds with great success. Seemed to help with the rabbits as well.

Thank you my brother, I agree with you 100% and I think you should be the new garden/tree mod with your vast knowledge and activity on the forum as it is. I will make a note to send rollitup a PM or whoever need be, and mention the tree thread idea, as well as some garden stickys.
I think most of the people on these cannabis forums are the underground innovators of the world, and there for deserve to have access to a wide array of information, cannabis related or not, all on one website.

if the cannabis growers here on riu spent more time here in the gardening section they would become all around better growers of not just cannabis but all herbeaceous plants. i've found that my friends here in gardening are great growers because of their sound knowledge of plants and soil health in general. they grow many things, compare the results and use their knowledge towards growing better mj. it just makes sense. cannabis isn't any different than any other non native species. except i've found it is a bit harder to grow indoors in containers. the minute you set it to grow outdoors in even mediocre garden soil it makes a huge difference. that shows how much of a weed it really is. just understanding that one thing is what new growers can't grasp. they want to believe the crap they hear in hydro stores and stoner forums. in many cases new growers have never even grown anything so mj is their first real experience at both growing plants and growing cannabis. which makes them fodder to big cannabiz. because they'll believe almost everything they hear. they don't know the difference. viva la gardening forum. we know our shit.

Well said dannyboy.
My mom was a certified master gardener and I thank her for teaching me everything about planting and gardening ever since I was a little one. She passed away recently from cancer and I can't thank her enough for everything she instilled in me. It wasn't until I grew up that I noticed how most people don't have the slightest clue on how to grow a plant. Why isn't that a required class in the education system?

Well my degree in silviculture and Forestry tells me this is not possible from what I know. I have grafted thousands of trees including Western Larch, Doug Fir, Ponderosa Pine, White Pine, White Bark Pine, Apples Oranges and have even grafted MJ Plants. But the second you cross species there are problems even a ponderosa pine on white pine which are very similar and grow in the same area and elevation the graft fails within a few weeks. So this seems way too far stretched. But if anyone can prove me wrong I would be the happiest mother F***er in the world.

thanks so much.... i've just begin growing indoors and most of what i have read is tinged with particulars for a personality or a method. and a lot hasn't worked for me so the learning curve has been bell shaped. i love growing outdoors and believe in self-sustainability, but outdoor growiing for certain medicinal plants isn't safe here. one of my first outdoor grows, just good bagseed, i never bought seeds until i started indoors (and have no connections, lol) i pulled up roots and all because i got paranoid of being caught. she was getting quite tall and i had set her in the garden near the corn. after three days hanging in some branches where i had thrown her, remorse set in. she is a living creature, even if she has only one foot. so i replanted her beneath pines. she had a south facing view. she grew like 8 ft tall and gave me my first respectful harvest - about 2 ounces but i didn't and still don't weigh harvest. i love these plants; they are grateful creatures.

hibiscus flower, basil, and garlic hibiscus flower, basil, and garlic, Snow peas and snap peas, attracting spider mites then you spray that area and it also attracts butterflies and honey bees.
Spider Mite Trap Plant Seeds - 50 Seeds http://sanctuarysoil.com/
by Sanctuary Soil and Feed, Inc. I guess you need to order these or call?
I suspect those are beans or peas, I paid like $10 lol...
They REALLY got covered in webs, they are sticky and the mites just love it and toss the plant or just spray it.
Either way they mature fast and sprout and you kind of need them rotated.
Im still pretty worried about actually growing mites!
You put these around your big girls and the mites will flock to the bean stems and web that plant up.
I still do not understand how it works!!
But it works!
I grew 75 SF of the Sanctuary Soil and Feed, Inc. "Flowers"
I got many compliments and no bugs, no beetles, no nothing but I did do a neem dip on the clones and then use an atmosizer 4x a year with safer soap.
I did also use the "Bug blaster" and its fucking ORGANIC because its water! Cost $20! I love it and this was my first ever year with no mites.
ALso my plants are healthy, bugs cant infect healthy plants that easy because the cell walls are much more hard to "Drill" into.

"Multiple cultivars of fruits such as apples are sometimes grafted on a single tree. This so-called "family tree" provides more fruit variety for small spaces such as a suburban backyard
Because the scion has weak roots or the roots of the stock plants have roots tolerant of difficult conditions. e.g. many showy Western Australian plants are sensitive to dieback on heavy soils, common in urban gardens, and are grafted onto hardier eastern Australian relatives. Grevilleas and eucalypts are examples.
A practice sometimes carried out by gardeners is to graft related potatoes and tomatoes so that both are produced on the same plant, one above ground and one underground.
Cacti of widely different forms are sometimes grafted on to each other."
Strawberries and potatoes also join often.................
To whoever was saying you couldn't graft shit that differed......... very common and is done heavily in apple orchards...I call malarchy
