loving the setup, I can see you're going to have some serious plants on your hands in a few months. I can't wait to see them in action!

I've had real problems with raccoons if I use stuff like that in an unfenced area. Did it last year with a new corn bed, got it amended and planted, then the little fuckers dug it up. I used dry fish hydrosylate, didn't think it would cause a problem but they dug through. Didn't take much of the planted corn, and I thought they would.
I have a dog and she's pretty much useless unless they come near the cats.
Boobs, be sure to post up microscopy pix! I have a scope but need an adapter to show pix.
Subscribed,have a great year.

I resorted to tall fencing after liquid fence seemed to be part of my local deers diet. I'm sure it detours them sometimes, but a hungry deer, is hard to stop. Especially in mid july when everything has dried up and the bitter tasting buds haven't formed yet.
Glad you are enjoying the thread.
Wow we are INUNDATED with deer....mice....gophers etc...I even
Have a deer trail for 13 years I can see from my living room window.......stopped EVERYTHING period....nothing worked before even a 6' fence...they simply jumped it....works for me ( shrug).

It's funny, while I was reading those posts about deer I was thinking... hmm, I haven't seen any deer around my house. Next morning, what do you know, a big ol' herd of them in my front yard.
I also had a couple of turkeys in my backyard last night, which is not unusual at all, but my dog got very close to catching one this time. Turkey got so scared flew right into my fence losing a couple of feathers and effectively ripping the fencing off of the t-post. Easy fix though, it was kind of funny too
I hope everyone's been making lots of progress lately and enjoying the weather, our tea situation is coming together as are other preparatory things. :yay:
We didn't end up taking that trip up north the past weekend, but we have acquired some pretty exciting things despite. I also got the microscope I mentioned, it is very cool. The blank slides are arriving tomorrow. I started up a tea a few hours ago and will plan to post some pictures and maybe even video clips tomorrow, as I found out the digital imaging software has that capability.
A couple of days ago we had the pleasure of meeting up with the head honcho of Ganja Rebel Seeds.
We are now germinating the following: DSD F2, DSD x OG/ChemD, Blue Dream x OG/ChemD, Green Crack x 5G and the 5G Yellow.
We also now have clones of: The White, Ghost OG, True OG and GS Cookies.
Something strange is happening with a few plants though...here is the thread I made in the infirmary.

cant wait to see these in the great outdoors!
okay so all that stuff came in the mail today, I got home a couple hours ago all excited to observe the tea...apparently, however, it was a lot warmer outside today than I'd anticapted 
the temperature inside the tank was over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit! it was steaming
I'll make up another one in the next couple days and move it out of direct sunlight
here's a video:

Oh, update on those sick clones... we're going to apply some mycostop tonight probably.

Someone has asked me which model microscope I have, I would send them a PM but I'm not sure who asked me 
Anyways, the brand is AmScope...my particular model is capable of 40x-1000x magnification and it also came with the digital imager from Amazon.com.
It is a good value considering I only paid around $130 total, the only problem I have with it so far is it does not have a mechanical stage. I hadn't even considered checking whether or not it had one when I bought it because I've never used one in the past that didn't have one.
Hope that helps.

Found a great spot by a local river to harvest lady bugs from and introduce to our gardens.
The SourD had one cold night that i wasn't able to cover it for and it suffered a week of no growth. Now it's back and doing excellent.
The clones in the greenhouse are starting to grow now that the fresh soil has "cooled" down.

Harvest lady bugs? On on please, are they just in abundance or can you farm them?

Hey Manivelle, all the video links I've put up I removed the tags from so they should all work now. 
I'll be taking a lot more videos of teas here in the next couple of days trying to find that goldy locks zone. The reason I haven't yet is I've been busy doing some other things.
The Fire OG is now in a couple thousand gallon mound, as is the Sensi Star.

I went and got some stuff from town today and rigged up this system for brewing, I hope it's sufficient aeration.

The pump I am using in that system I will also be able to use to boost my water from my tanks because I'm not really satisfied with the pressure from gravity alone.
