I could have sworn you mentioned something about going smaller with the garden this year. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else? ;) Looking good and best of luck with the mad scientist thing this year.

Hey look, a two armed squid! Hope you get lots of chances to send pics Paulky. Thanks for keeping the rest of us safe and best of luck to you. I hope time flies by for you. Keep your feet dry.

Al that is true. Not all tarantulas can do it, only New World genera. The hairs on their abdomen are called urticating hair and they are the tarantula's only defense other than claws and fangs. They will rub a back leg across their abdomen and that will loosen the hairs and any type of air...

Great stories Al and Rick! Thanks! I have been bitten once by a tarantula. It was a Cyriocosmus elegans, adult female. I was breeding her with a male and they were finished. I was putting the male back into his home when the female decided to take a walk up my arm. I couldn't get to her real...

Along with more light you need to get the plants closer to it. Using CFL works great but you have to get them within a few inches of the seedlings. They can't be as far away as you have them. You'll get extremely long, very weak stems. I'm not bragging either here, I'm showing you what the right...

Man look at all of the babies! Looks like you're going to have your hands full Stephan. Hope you get the darker leaf thing figured out. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Your plants are outside. In the sun. Outside in the sun. The grass is even green. Outside, green grass and sun. I want to move. Looking good Shane.

Pia when the soil is pulling away from the sides of the container like that and the plant is looking all lifeless like that particular one is you're letting them get too dry. When the growing medium contracts like that it's also packing itself tighter and tighter. That's going to inhibit root...

Egg shells are a good source too. You'll have to almost powder them if you need the calcium now. You can't order any nutes online?

I'm one of the pluck 'em guys too. I tend to pick them when the plant is under 18" tall. Above that let 'em go.

Heck that won't bother me as long as I'm up in the front, leading the way!

Moruga don't get all bent out of shape. You know well that you've asked a lot of questions that have been beyond questions even a new grower would ask. Just because someone finally got a little tired of it doesn't mean you need to try and toss some guilt out and stomp away. This place is full...

Al I would enjoy hearing how you got tagged twice by the same scorpion and thanks for the compliment.

You can purchase the fungus that kills aphids and such here: http://www.google.co...8,d.aWM&cad=rja It's called PFR-97 I am curious on it's effect on good bugs and spiders. I asked just waiting on a response. EDIT: Didn't see your previous post Tyler, thanks.

Friend of mine clued me to this. http://www.rinconvitova.com/balence%20fly%20control.htm

So can you buy spores or how ever you get a fungus? This could be something big. Can you get it to grow on the plant without any adverse reactions to it? How freaking awesome would it be to sprinkle a few fungus spores around your plants and never have to worry about aphids or whiteflys or any...

That's good to hear AJ. Hard to beat life on a boat drowning a few worms. I am jealous.

That stinks. It was a learning experience for her, I hope she can find some positives to take from it. She's got more self confidence than I do that's for sure.

You're getting it because the moisture isn't dissipating fast enough. Put a small fan on the plants, get the air around them moving and it should dry up and go away. If you can try to find a way to water the plants from the bottom too.

Indeed.
