So I hung the electric zapper light so im getting both ends to do their job rather than one,I leave this on all day and runs for 15 mins after lights out and comes on 15 mins before they come on , I also though if you cant get toppers spray the fabric pot rims and side with strong oils. , I also aim the fan towards the catcher and zapper .. I am NOT getting many but id rather be ready and prepared as the weather gets better , one step ahead in organic always
, repeat after me " prevention is better than cure" ,

That's me for today , catch you tomorrow, I limit my self on line ,. its better for me

Forgot to add my other weapon , preparing for war …. this is a reptile humidifier I added super strong concentrated Lavender oil, set to lowest setting ,. lavender oil its meant to repel pests so I have no reptile so try this as I have the oil and the humidifier nutty tricks set beside floor fan for best results

the reason i have to get this right is i have ferments and crab shells drying so pests there will be for sure , i just want to keep them to fxxk out and away from my ladies , and natural esh

I will clean fan blades tomorrow , its smoke oclcok

And usually a whole lot easier!

That's a great idea. Adds a "whole room" effect in addition to you plant specific deterrents.

Plants looking good Nutty. Bet that Lavender Oil acts as a pretty good “cover scent” while flowering too? I’ve been planning ahead for this just in case my girls make it. Thinking about building that 5 gal bucket/carbon pellet filter I’ve read about here or at least an exhaust fan up into the attic. Not sure how big a problem three plants will be? I own the house so I can build or tear up whatever. Have a great day.

My out let , I run a pipe into some heavy oil , like diesel or home heating oil , I then add a towel , this is the best filter for masking

And ten times less money

Hello friends , todays is a new week , Have a good one and have good intentions
I counted 16 sunflower heads on my sons sunflower plant he bottom watered in spring then I planted in my compost heap its going to look beautiful and I hope some seeds carry the trait


Every thing is on cruise control, very pleased with things , I ordered some pepper mint oils and some other repel oils
, the big cheese is already smelling cheesy @Weed Seeds Express no sign of missus strawberry head yes lol

 

[NuttyProfessor]

Here is my companion plants , coriander can repel spider mites my favorite herb to eat ! I can buy the little shop bought plants and plant at the bases .
Oregano is another one along with basil , , this is just perfect I love herbs with everything , WOW THIS IS SO EASY ,
and lastly for flying feckers Geraniums

 

[NuttyProfessor]

Morning friends

Yesterday I took the big cheese out of the big blue tub thank fully its over with that now at this stage lol , I am pretty sure I was able to keep the medium moist through out but never water logged , I was freaking throughout thinking the soil would go bad but it smells of fresh soil, no flies no gnats no nasty's, wouldn't have room in 3 weeks either so timed well enough , I am pleased , the big cheese has loved life so far and I really want to do @Weed Seeds Express autos justice !
Now I can half and half , top /bottom , never any soaking or heavy run off
I made two extracts yesterday using alcohol and coriander and another with sugar using coriander basil cinnamon and oregano , one for soil feed one for leaf repellent ,
the alcohol batch will be two extracts one with alcohol the other with reap seed oil setting in alcohol for a week then ill add the other heaver oil remove the lid and let the alcohol evaporate totally leaving me an infused oil to work with ,


No sign of missus strawberrry head , she must have rotted

Ten gallons of soil is heavy maybe an overkill with autos , we shall see

Photo shoot big cheese

And looky here , I think miss strawberry head might surpise me after all I had a little dig carefully,
The biggest problem I have is I cant remember what to hell plants are in what soil, I am already confused and they are all different soils . I should start marking the pots as its hard to go back even on the journal finding things

You can see the strawberry leaf to the left , the sprout centre

So why is lime added to some soil and soilless mixes , its used to neutralize just as microbes would to correct low ph and to bring the plant through the feeding rage

Example , I have two glasses with the same water and the same ph after adding synthetic nutrients to one as they are made more acidic
Yesterday i mixed them , check the ph was the same 5.5/5.6 , after 18 hours the one i added the lime too has slowly raised the ph through from 5.6 to 6.4 , lime takes a while to kick in so its a good choice

Both types of lime contain calcium, and dolomite lime also contains magnesium. Lime adds these two essential elements to the soil, but it is more commonly used to correct the soil pH. Most plants prefer a pH between 5.5 and 6.5.

I hope this helps some to understand how organic and non organic works
, plant , microbes and plant roots v synthetic and lime

I sort of thought that. But it's nice to have it certified by a proper PHD!
I like the dolomite dust!

I use it sometimes my self , and the guy I know who runs a garden centre gives me a few bags on the house , same as the toppers I got , I always use their shop so they return some favours

Missus strawberry head is doing good, 1 mm dilated should be with this big world pretty soon, I up potted the other big cheese , the soil mix didn't sit right and I noticed some yellow , so rather than waiting and guessing I up potted I then realised I had made the soil wrong, I missed out the compost so it was more hydro ,
Repeat after me " what is visible represents the invisible "

Just looked off and this is when you need to catch autos, if you leave things too long your screwed

her new home has moved up to 7 gallon plastic airpot

Your seedlings have to be some of the healthiest I've ever seen. I'm no slouch but holy shit, Nutty...they're perfect. Hope you and the fam are well. I always thought U2 was like St. Pat's here in the US...actual Irish people can't stand it?

They got too effects-driven and kinda fell into that weird 90's humanitarian band benefit concert fad. A lot of good bands from the 80's seemed to have sold out to play that stadium crap. Also I can't stand how The Edge plays guitar. Or his face.

Sting did that shit, too. First we had the proggy Police and then suddenly we're in weak-ass fields of barley. SMDH.

There's a great fish market here in the states called Faidley's. They specialize in crab cakes....wonder if I could convince them to bulk ship me a cubic yard of the leftovers. I can't wait until this damn summer is over, harvests are in, and I can start getting back to fucking about in the tent. Jadam has really piqued my interest. Ugh, you're fucking brilliant Nutty. Keep doing you. <3

The biggest problem I have is I cant remember what to hell plants are in what soil,

Vegetable gardeners use these little things called plastic labels. You could Google it but they seem to work pretty well at keeping things straight.

Plants are looking good, Nutty!

 

[NuttyProfessor]

I do it every time , .. give my self work , I have a little book now I write in also
