You could set up an Aphid Room, just crawling with the buggers. Rotate a healthy container plant in, let the buggers chow down for a while, then return the plant to your grow area, chumming the sharks wasps with the fresh meat.
A systemic that works against the worst villains, yet is thousands of times less toxic to bees and other beneficial than imidacloprid, etc.
:surprised:
What the hell is it, a mutant trash dumpster?
Ya know, if you place that blasted contraption directly in an active fumarole, the plants will get PLENTY of warmth and minerals! :D
Drops acquired. A very quick soil test on just one random pot suggests ph is pushing 8. Need to dial in the filtering and other aspects of the test before calling this data "good." Headed for the chemistry shop for some phosphoric acid, or maybe I can find some PH-Down, etc. at the...
Not quite sure how you're gonna do that, unless you live on an active volcano or something :hot:
(Of course, half the surface of New Zealand is located in a volcano crater! ;) )
LIES!!!!!
I would never advocate using anything half as wimpy as mere Diesel! :rolleyes:
Bunker oil and road tar are FAR more effective in that they stick tenaciously to the foliage, allowing more time for the vital nutrients to be absorbed.
Anything thinner than this is not even worth...
Which do you think?

Thanks, Guru.
Yea, PH is the big unknown. With all the calcium in the water, the soil is probably under pressure to go alkaline. Even with periodic 'big flush' over-watering, the sides of my grow bags get white and crunchy by the end of the year. Can't justify a proper $100+ meter, so I'm...
Yea, riiiight! :rolleyes: I tried soaking my throwdown seeds in the warm glow of a chunk of Trinitite a few years ago. Alas, the envisioned atomic bomb energized Godzilla plant never quite materialized.... :confused:
I think a lot of my troubles are due to growing in containers in the bloody heat of Aridzona. I can't fence the yard, and the javelina will tear up anything growing on the ground. So tabletop it is!
The plants go through gobs of water, which tends to flush nutes from the soil, as well as...
Winter is here. Snow in the hills. Temps in the high 30s. The plants are pretty much done for the year.
Limon yield is up to 345g, including a "few" partially green ones. (Slow-clap...)
It seems that most Throwdown plants I grow turns out to be runts. Maybe it's the summer heat. Or maybe...
