Trala’s Tent

Fun fact about aphids, T-
they reproduce by a process called "parthenogenesis"...or in layman's terms- they don't need to Fuck to have babies, because they're born pregnant!
So if it seems they suddenly appeared overnight, they probably did ...

That is actually super interesting.

So could the aphids have been days old do you think?

So my plants looked super happy by bedtime.

I think mopey Maya might be a psychopath. She picks today, a day I’m stressed out, covered in Safers and Greenclean, and knee deep in cleaning to BIG SMILE at me! Oh and I used the Peppermint soap to mop the floors. Smells so fresh and poisony at the same time.

Turns out she LOVES the Trama!

Pool shot, all dried out and drinking in the rays

Bed time. Poor cootiegirl Sunny is relegated to the nose bleed section. I can’t risk her cuddling up with her sisters. Makes me sad to see her outcasted tbh. It’s better than another night outside tho.

They look awesome Tra. Really beautiful. Great work on the clean.

Nice cleanup! I like their new legs! Hubba hubba!

You're combat-hardened, Trala.

Mission Possible!

Your girls look soooo happy out by the pool!

So could the aphids have been days old do you think?

Probably at least 3 days- but...in the pic, we're looking at at least two generations, so a week may be a closer guess as to when they first got there...It's a real good thing you spotted them when you did, because every
adult aphid can have about 12 babies a day...so that would be 100 aphids one day, 1300 aphids the next day, all females, all born pregnant, ready to have babies in 3 days...they're like covid with legs...

Outside at night is when the moths lay their eggs, so in 4 or 5 days you've got caterpillars crawling around on your plant...so, the less time they're out there at night, the better....
Moths are the only reason I bring my outside plants (the ones in pots) in at night...
Your plant can get caterpillars from butterflies too, but that doesn't seem to happen very often-
Butterfly caterpillars are usually pretty big, so they're easier to spot - I found a 3 inch long green one on my CBD plant a couple of years ago...

Thank you

Took me 2 hours!

Good morning C Sun

I can’t believe Maya is finally smiling!

So lucky they were semi contained. I spotted a couple on other leaves on Sunny, but nothing like the two aphid communes on the first two. I dread the thought of Blue getting them. She’s well over 100cm in height. They’d be a nightmare to treat.

Covid with legs made me lol.

Should I put a lamp on her or will she be okay with the indirect light of the grow light?

Trala your girls all look smokin' gorgeous. Finding a new kind of bug on your plants is a horrible feeling. But you've got this. You've got that whole board of battle tactics that worked against the gnits. Don't feel like you've messed up flower because of this. Maybe even take it as a compliment. If I were a bug, I'd want to live on one of your plants too. (Obviously I wouldn't know what's coming).

Also New seeds! That Mimosa EVO sounds delicious!

Hello you

I’m so excited about that Mimosa. I absolutely fucked my last one. Literally murdered it and threw it all over my backyard in a post nightshift exhausted bubble of absolute fucking madness!

I laugh about it now.

(I soooooo don’t)

Thanks HG

I have just always cut and pasted the link. Teddy spanked me over my rue of the tiger youtube. Tbh I think he was searching for even the most minor infractions coz he misses me over his knee.

Omg this aphid ridden, spider mite hiding, two armed bandit should be the ugliest plant I’ve ever grown, but despite the almost aphid infestation and a couple of cheeky mites and two amputated limbs, she is by far the most beautiful plant I’ve ever flowered. And O.M.G, her smell! She smells like floral scented rocket fuel!

She got to spend the day under the flower lights, while her 3 big sisters sat out in the rain, and she loved it.

I am OBSESSED with her!

Her sisters are now in from the rain and have officially taken their spots under the warm lights and Cinderella Sunny has been banished to the corner like a leper with the clap

You can take a wicked pic Tra. Damn near lickable those shots of Sunny. Bravo.

Hello you

Thank you! She is so very pretty. She is easily the prettiest plant I’ve ever flowered. My plants usually go to rubbish at flower.

You’d never know she has insects.
