Garage wall.
Main garden are 3 LED grow lights from Lowes. The one against the garage wall is an old 6500K compact fluorescent.
Filled about 100 capsules with FECO / Coconut oil / Lecithin.
Didn't quite finish that open bag.
Got the 8 small fry transplanted.
Took cuts off all the clones and the Blue Dream seedlings.
Chunk, CM, Gor, Koda are the surviving clones.
Even in Summer I only fight the Caterpillars and the powdery mildew. Between the ladybugs and the praying manti I really don't do much at all any longer. Off season I do even less. A lot of nothing. BT and high PH water is all I've used for the last several years.
Sweet, love those natural predators. Was dry late summer here and had lots of aphids. The ladybugs were in pretty high population living on my plants. Didn't have to worry about a thing. If you start spraying pesticides, it can cause outbreaks later on because it diminishes the beneficial predator insects.
Haven't heard about high pH water. I know regular water helps to knock off aphids and other small sap suckers. Do you recommend insecticidal soap? Not sure if thats organic or not, but sounds like you don't need it! Soap wouldn't control the caterpillars, I'm pretty sure.

I use 9+ PH water to combat the powdery mildew. A tablespoon of potassium bicarbonate to a gallon of water and drench spray once a week.
I've run a naturalized yard for 10 years now and my beneficial insect population is higher then ever. I do try and boost it buying ladybugs and mantis pods when the garden center has them.

Your yard is beautiful BrassNwood, you do a lot of production in a small space, and organic to boot, great stuff indeed.
Christmas lights up on the yacht.
The usual shot of Alaskan fish goo and I added a hint of ammonium sulfate.
Double post.

Since we ran off to the mountains, I brought the newest tray of clones along to keep my eye on them.
Keep them warm. Will be worth the trouble to have some healthy rooted cuttings. Seeds are easier by the way, but then you have to sort them out later to find keepers. Have a good time in the mountains.
The tag less ones and the blue dreams are seedling cuts and unsexed yet. I'll likely fire more seeds the 1st of January as I like to do my seedlings and sexing in the off season and have all my clones ironed out for the June 1st setout.
Survivors and some are rooted. Stopped at the midpoint for Santa on his Fire Truck. Supposed to do the Citrus Singers / Bell Ringers here tomorrow night. Well Santa just blasted past at 50mph and by the time we rushed out the whole procession was gone. WTF? 3 firetrucks and 4 squad cars all hauling ass. They used to crawl at no more than a brisk walk. This was nuts. No music. No horns. WTF indeed.
Looks like the big plants put on a foot in growth while I was gone.
A hit of Ammonium Sulfate and Alaskan fish goo kicked them all in the ass nicely.
8 in the white pots that will stay in veg.
