One of my house mates(HM) commented on the spiders and small stature of my forest. It was also mentioned that HMs friends neighbor had an outdoor grow with bigger plants "This Tall" lol(could be seen from the window). Worrisome, if they can see it who else can? Good thing HM is good people.
I explained that these were mostly indica Dom, and most are in pots. the ones that go into the ground will get much bigger by Sept., especially the sativa land races from Peru.
Apparently HM has a short memory,( MMJ related), but is was just last year that HM marveled at the size of the trees I had grown
. But what can you expect from a DJ/Fetish Model.
The spiders,
I explained will eat all the bugs I don't want(all). Removing the web is as easy as running your hands along the leaves and stems. The spider jumps off , and will make more web to catch and eat more bugs. Could be problematic during flowering. I am keeping an eye out for egg sacs. I did not have much of a problem with spiders last season so I am not too worried.
Note :No leaves have been attacked since I allowed the spiders to remain. I am learning by watching nature interact with my garden.
