Silver's second straight-bulb several strain sweetened soil sweetness. Seriously.

Nice pics! Yeah that fogger IS taking up a lot of real estate... You already know what to do though, so get off your lazy ass. :) I'm telling you if you put a lid on it, and mount a PC fan to it to blow the fog out you're going to get even better results. You just need to plug the PC fan and the fogger into the humidistat... Or just the fogger, and let the PC fan burn out early from running 24/7... They're cheap to replace. A hole in the lid for the fan to blow in, and a hole or a few holes for the fog to come out. It's way more effective.

Maybe you'll listen faster now that we're making progress... probably not. You kinda remind me of me, doing your own damn thing... lol

Wow SH that Nightmare D is looking fantastic,and kind of like a nightmare to train lol.

Thanks Jnugg! I'll be honest, I'd be more inclined to get her splayed even wider open, but .. Time in the garden (serious time, beyond just peekin' and gettin' a stiffy) is fairly scarce these days, and she's only got about a week left.. :blowbubbles:

*sigh* It's just NEVER good enough, is it?! :wallbash:

:) The challenge w the fogger outside of the tent is getting the fog IN the tent. The tent is sammiched on all three sides - flower cab to the L, furnace & water tank to the R, wall to the back, .. And a door for me to stick my fat head in there in the front, .. :dunno:

I've been thinking about what we discussed - a long/wide container, lowest profile possible. Using that as the main/bottom rez, and rigging the upper rez to sit directly atop it. I could then set plants ON the top of this container itself. Then, zero lost space from the fogger setup (only vertical space would be lost, but I can afford that with the veg getup)

Shit. Now I need to go find another container, spend a few bucks, find a lid for the damned cat shit rocks, and cut some holes.

Maybe you'll listen faster now that we're making progress... probably not. You kinda remind me of me, doing your own damn thing... lol

Yes! But I promise, I'm not an independent thinker strictly because I have my own ideas about how it should be done.

Rather, I have my own ideas about IF something should be done..

Actually, in a full-on display of my laziness AND my cunning, I was actually waiting for DAVE to say it - why say it myself?

and that is true freindship. Saying something for someone else cause you know they want to say it, but you know they are too damned lazy to get around to it anytime soon.

Pardon my emisison

Sickly Golden Goat, taken at 70 days, do not pass go, do not collect $200, thou art to be converted into lamb cutlets. And wax.

Super duper floppy - kinda funny, once I took her down off the wall.

And like, zero frost.

Looking for input here. In the container for the Golden Goat (and only the Goat), if I rustle up the first inch or two of soil, I see small (1/4" - 3/8") white or translucent-y worms, just kind of wriggling.

I'd figure they must be fungus gnat larvae - except I have never - ever - ever - ever - ever - seen a fungus gnat flying about my room. None stuck in the yellow stickies, nothin'.

And whatever they are, in the Goat, they're not responding to BT.

I do think I had the same critters in the Happy Valley tester cups when I started, but I a) got rid of those b) successfully eradicated (from those containers, at least) what was left.

?

:thank you:

Shit it looking sweet man. I hate when shit happens to plants like with your golden goat. I have had many a plant do the same. I even burned a couple right to death once:hotbounce. But the aphids really fuck shit up too. I'm just getting rid of mine now. Anyways..... I'm gonna have some deadheads that will be growing upside down and shit for sure, and now i know it will work thanks to you:dance013:. Keep up the good work, your pics inspire me to what i need mine to look like.

Throw some good organic Neem Cake in your soil mix and I doubt this will ever ever happen again.

NeemResource dot com

kisorganics dot com

Both carry the Ahimsa Organic Neem From India which has much higher numbers of bug stuff. Throw the Azamax away!

On a side note... Damn bro, that sucks. I hate it when I have to chop anything early.

lookin good silver, too bad about the GG

Thanks abird! Glad to have your company!

As to the GG, I'm not entirely bummed. Taking it in stride, .. I honestly don't really care for her smoke anyway - so the plan was to turn it into some kind of dry sift/wax..

Was hoping for a sexier turnout of the flowers, but ..

Well I can tell you it's not the plant's fault you're a shitty grower...

Ha! ..and you've seen & felt the ND's pain, as a result of my shitty growing.. :)

Hey frankenstein! Glad to have you chime in! Yeah, some of those lower buds on the Nightmare ended up coming in kind of upside-down. .. It's like my own little topsy-turvy!

Wait its been 2 weeks already Silver?

Ha! Not 'chet, but y'know, .. These days, I've gotta get while the gettin's good - pictures & posts & updates, that is!

Silver, here's a link to a thread that may help you out... :)
In particular post # 6, it shows the larval form of them gnats
and has both home and store bought remedies for them Lil~shits !

Hmmm, thanks ~sprout! I'm not entirely convinced it's gnats - since I've NEVER seen a flier. SRGB was kind enough to PM me and suggest the possibility of parasitic nematodes, ..

MHG, ain't that the truth. Thing is, I've added [what I thought was] plenty of neem seed meal, as well as crab shell meal. :dunno:

Azamax I still use in veg, preventatively, as a foliar.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't Azadirachtin extracted from neem itself?

No sympathy from this fella, eh silver? ha, ha
You seem to have the worst luck bro. I can't help you with the wriggly worms, I've never seen what you're describing and hope I never do. Hopefully they don't grow into some sort of alien life form devouring your wife and children in the process.

:laughing:

All good - taking it all in stride, .. Really ain't at letdown, aside from my ego not being on full-swoll.

It's hard for me to feel too sorry for myself, when a variety for which I don't even care is suffering, and there's another variety which I do absolutely love, a foot away, producing what I expect to be 5-6 oz of headstash. :D

If keeping the lights on, or any part of my lifestyle, depended on the garden, then I'd be bummed.

Instead, the only thing affected by the lousy harvest is my ego - and who cares about that, anyway?!

On the plus side, I've got a great reason to turn an entire plant into oil. :D

Make sure you equipment is thoroughly sanitized my friend. And i agree with the nematode hypothesis, onlyway to kill them is to use a parasitic nematode that will eat the ones you have
