Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[PCBuds]

A covered trashcan usually does wonders at keeping flying insects out. Here we use the ones u press a paddle with your foot to open it. It's very convenient!

It's a covered garbage 🗑

I don't care too much about the fruit flies, they're just annoying but the house flies and their maggots are fricken gross.
I don't know how the damn house flies are getting in?
I think that they are getting in through the opening for the foot pedal?

Fortunately the weather just turned today for the first day of fall and we have a high of 16°C.
We've been having hot humid weather up until now, with a humidex in the 30's.
Bug season is almost over.

Sometimes I get fruit flies breeding in my food waste bin in the kitchen. You can see small parchment coloured cocoons on the insides where the maggots are gestating. Easy to clean it all out with a quick rinse of boiling water...

 

[PCBuds]

It's the maggots from this fly that are huge and really mobile. The maggots are a bit bigger than a cooked grain of rice.

And this one is even worse. We call them shit flies.

I went to bed one night and there were no maggots or flies in the garbage can. The next morning there were hundreds of maggots all over the garbage can. They had crawled out of the can and were crawling on the floor.
I picked up the can and took it outside and maggots were dropping off the can.

That was Fukin Nasty !! Lol
That happened 3 times this summer.

I'm in and out of my back door 40-50 times a day and bugs get in the house. I keep trying to chase them back out.

You need a Shoofly fly trap or 2 around the outside of your house, available on eBay.

I started a new seed for the closet.
A Poison Rose X Cookie Devil.

I decided to start it in the closet so I can turn on the lights and warm things up.

My reminder note to change the furnace filter. I'm too wasted to do it now. I'll end up spilling something.
Lol

220 Watts total.

 

[PCBuds]

I raised it up to get her warmer,..

 

[PCBuds]

The seed has cracked, so I planted it.
I watered it with 1/2 liter of veg nutes and calmag at PH 5.8 and 500 PPM.

Everything went smoothly and I could see springtails running around, but I did get the sticky ribbon stuck to my head. Lol

I need to keep in mind that I can't have the ribbon touch the plant. I got goo stuck to my hair. Lol

 

[GanjaLion]

Instead of putting glue and pork chop grease all over your place, you can just take your garbage outside. Instead of leaving it to rot in the can hehe

 

[PCBuds]

I put the dome on the closet planter to bring up the humidity, and I started a new seed for the window sill.
It's a GLo F2 seed.

The sticky ribbon in the closet only caught 3 bugs in the past five days so I put it in the kitchen and threw out the one that was in the kitchen.

I dug into the window planter and could find springtails so that's good news.
I should be able to plant the new seed tomorrow.

 

[PCBuds]

I dug down to check on my seed to find her ½" down growing sideways.
She had shed her shell and her cotyledons were straight out spreading open sideways.
So I uncovered it and left it uncovered.

This is her 2 hours later and she has lifted up and straightened up a bit.

I don't know if I planted it too deep or if I shouldn't be starting a seed in nuted soil?
The same sort of thing happened to that last seed that got planted in the window planter at 3200 PPM.

I'm going to give her some time and see what happens but she might be screwed up now?

Maybe I should start over and flush the soil with RO water?

 

[PCBuds]

She's looking okay,..
I'm just going to leave her be and give her a few days to see what happens.

I haven't seen any flies for a couple days then I opened my kitchen garbage can and there was a few fruit flies flying around inside.
So I sprayed the can with bug killer and closed it.
That worked. The flies landed on the wet surface, got stuck and croaked.

I'll spray the can once a day until there's nothing left.

I think that I'll pass on the fresh corn next year. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

A small wasp in my backyard,..

 

[PCBuds]

I opened the umbrella to find this,..

 

[exploziv]

better close it back asap..

 

[PCBuds]

better close it back asap..

I don't want them "nesting" in my umbrella for the winter, so flicked them all off.
I flicked the material beside them and they fell off.
I tried shaking the whole umbrella, but they were too clingy. lol

They can barely fly now, it's pretty cool out at 15°C

 

[PCBuds]

My GLo has cracked,..

 

[PCBuds]

Bluejay in my backyard.
I took screen shots of my video.

 

[PCBuds]

The seedling is looking good,..

The seed is a little slow. I'll probably plant it tomorrow.

 

[PCBuds]

The seedling is looking kinda crappy.
The one cotyledon has shrunk right up.

I think that I'm going to start over and dig a hole in the planter to fill with un-nuted media, like what I used to do.
I think that the nuted media messed up my seed.
If I start over now, I've only lost 4 days and one seed.

I don't want to do any experimentation in the closet, and carrying on with this sickly seedling would be an experiment.
