in the desert, life stands out. seedlings and moisture draw predators.
people don't believe me much but fungus gnats can fuck you up. couple years ago i sprouted a tray of food seeds for sprouts, maybe 1000 seeds, every single fucking one wiped out.
given my age and experience, i should be embarassed not to yield like pounds each year, but my life has to suck because i fight the freemasons, so i get a tiny fucking micro grow.
and all the time, time after time after time, i go through shit.
people think, weed is a way to reduce stress. the fuck do they know.
so THIS time...
i get new, precious genetics. i already know what i'm up against. i mix my soil with dynagro neem oil. i keep my fucking starts in a fucking net, where they get hardly any air circulation, but it gives them a few days protection from the motherfuckers.
and of course, this is a micro, which means, if i bump something with my sleeve, a dozen tiny containers topple over. you know about that shit? you do now.
so my old neem bottle is out, never fear! i bought some new neem!
but guess what, i guess someone must have left it in the sun because it doesn't work for fuck. spraying it all over my veggie garden, the aphids don't care at all.
someone needs to get the shit beat out of them because that neem investment is all a poor old fucker had between them and fucking oblivion. understand that.
so two weeks in and it's clear my neem is worthless. my seedlings are emaciated. elevate to step 2: AGSIL
i don't know whether to love or hate whoever got me on agsil for gnats. that's why i call this thread fucking cures, because using enough agsil to stop gnats is hardcore ph nightmare for tiny plants.
and, all i ever see are tiny fucking plants, bro.
(oh yeah - step 2 also involves BTI but my BTI didn't work for fuck either)
we're now at three weeks.
fuck, what else have i got? i fill the containers up to the top with perlite, for the "defensive layer".
i get my ass online and order some gnatrol.
plus, i gotta remedy the fucked up ph, which means ----> more water into the containers.
well, with that layer of perlite on top, which i never done before, they don't lose a whole lot of water.
i don't know about you, but when you stare at a tiny plant for a week
(2nd set of leaves, 1st already dead, 2nd are like 5mm long)
and you KNOW it's not growing because it's too! fucking! wet!
it's not a good feeling.
but what the fuck can you do about it? switch soil, and put you back in the beginning, with a million gnats?
so you pass 4 weeks... and 4 weeks on other grows has been like.. 2 feet of growth... and you haven't got two inches.
i want to kill some fucker who doesn't know neem degrades with heat. the rest of the blame i have to eat, which i'm well used to, because i go through this year after year, of total fucking agony trying to grow a tiny two inch plant.
the fucking cures for problems, i tell you. people think gnats are cute, they can withstand gnats where they live. they don't live here. they don't know. living like this isn't anything nice. it's evil, to see these little fucks dancing around trying to eat the shit out of anything that grows when there's a whole fucking world out there of healthy stuff they could pick on.
sometimes it's tough to grow. i've had good times as well, but this isn't one of them. i hate looking at something rare and thinknig, there it goes. you folks with money and social stability enjoy your good shit. enjoy your grows with space, and good lighting and air circulation, because the masons don't want me to have anything good.
