Wow. Those are some nice shots! Congratulations. Again.
I'm not jealous.
Oh my, I have to say I am loving this content.

Nobody puts baby in the corner! I knew deep down inside I wasn’t the only one that did this. Nothing short of pure admiration @MrSauga I can here the maracas rattle from a distant land in my mind. I do more of a hula two step with a twist.. it’s all fun and games till someone loses a coconut.
Nug shots look killer! Sweet smelling something’s are usually waaaaay better then stink smelling something’s in my limited experience. I hope you and ohana are have a blessed day my friend! Lots of aloha from over here as always!

It's been a quiet night so I decided to take a page from Homer's book and get some sharp contrasting pics of the @Weedseedsexpress girls. I hope everyone had a good weekend.
Who likes bugs? We found three of these cuties on the tops of the tomato plants.

I was thinking the same thing! And that caterpillar seems to be growing another set of bugs.
OKAY sooo I come across your journal and WTH is this thing? Seriously I get its a caterpillar of sorts but whats on it? Eggs? omfg.... insert running away emoji here
exit ... but still luv ya
That's not a caterpillar and not a "cutie" - It's a "Tomato Hornworm" and they do a LOT of damage to leaves. They love tomato plants but will feed on peppers and a bunch of other stuff. I've even found them on my fig trees! They blend in with the foliage and eat the leaves from the tips down and, by the size of that one, I suspect you should notice a bunch of leaf damage on that plant. They can defoliate a plant quickly! Kill them on site! Also, if you have one, you probably have a few.

If you like them better than you like your tomato plants and the rest of your garden, you can just leave them alone.Hey, some of us like repulsive, radically abject things!!
They say to leave manduca with the wasp larva in your garden because the larva eat the manduca from the inside out then they will lay eggs in the other manduca in the garden.But the manduca can also eat the larva off there backs so it is one big circle of death.
This is 420% correct!
Once they get infected with the wasp larvae, they stop eating, so you don't need to kill those. But, if you see any without all those white eggs, best way to deal with it is to remove by hand and kill.
Beautiful pics MrS! I didn't even notice the plants I was so busy admiring the photographs.

Thanks Shed. The plants are looking good too. I love the LST and it will probably be my go to on training for a while.
Thanks for that.
Thanks for that.

I received a little package today from a special friend so I just wanted to share with everyone how special this community is. I was very touched.

Looks like a tasty treat! Enjoy
Very nice MrS!
And quite thoughtful to add the boveda pack, too!

Lucky ducky Canadian! Low covid case counts and legally sending weed: folks fleeing north because of the draft were prescient by about 50 years.

Edukation Day.
What is Mycorrhiza?
Myco means 'fungus' and rhiza means 'root', so it literally means fungus-root and describes the mutually beneficial relationship between the plant and root fungus (mycorrhizae is the plural form of mycorrhiza). Mycorrhizal fungal filaments are extensions of root systems (hyphae) and are more effective in nutrient and water absorption than the roots alone. These fungi colonizes plant roots and extends far into the soil. Around 95 percent of plant species on the planet form a symbiotic relationship with the beneficial mycorrhizal fungi.
Function
The surface absorbing area of roots increase with the presence of mycorrhizal fungi which improves the ability of the plant to access soil resources. Mycorrhizae are an essential part of a healthy soil system, and several miles of hypha filaments can be present in less than a teaspoon of soil. Mycorrhizal fungi increase nutrient uptake by increasing the surface absorbing area of the roots and will release organic compounds into the soil that solubilize nutrients, such as organic nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and other bound soil nutrients more difficult to capture.
This process is important in plant nutrition and non-mycorrhizal plants may require higher levels of fertilization to maintain their health since mycorrhizal fungi form a detailed web that captures and takes in nutrients. With cannabis it means increasing the synthesis of molecules such as terpenes and cannabinoids by stimulating the chemotype of a plant.
How do I add mycorrhizal fungi to my plants?
Mycorrhizal inoculants such as Mykos or Great White provide the fungi the plant needs. Although I don't endorse any of these products and I don't provide detailed data on them, there are some certain things to consider before purchasing. The below image provides three key things to keep in mind when sourcing mycorrhizal inoculants.
Promix has their own line and has been designed for cannabis growers by keeping those three aspects in mind. From their site they claim that with 6000 viable spores per gram, their inoculant is the most concentrated product of its kind on the market. By applying it as a slurry on your rooted cuttings when transplanting, you obtain approximately 30,000 viable spores in direct contact with the root system. The symbiosis will happen, and it will happen fast.
Here's a little video that you may all enjoy as well.
So I hope you enjoyed this little lesson about Mycorrhiza!
