I hate insects too. I'm that guy swatting at bees (and then running) all of the time. I've spent hours at a time obsessed with hunting a stray fly that got in to the house (weed has it's drawbacks). Being that I hate them so much, I spend a lot of time figuring out how to rid them from my garden/house. I guess that's the upside to this phobia?

No! Not the bees! Bees are wonderful, and without them we would be unable to enjoy many of our favorite fruits and vegetables! Something I didn't know, professional bee keepers move hives across the country during different seasons in order to pollinate crops in the seasons.

Yeah, I don't kill them just swat at them. And it's usually the borg wasps that fuck with me, and not honey bees.

Fuck wasps and hornets! They are nothing but trouble and aggressive. Honey bees are very much keep to themselves if not bothered. I love it when they pollinate my cactus.

hope you never have the dreaded borg, aka broad mites. Makes spider mites seem like a walk In the fucking park! Spider mites I could rid of easily u
sing non pesticides. Broad mites requires going nuclear with avid.

is that the little black mite?

No, they are very tiny, leaf sucking, while injecting poison in the leaf, translucent, microscopic dope eating insects. The first noticeable signs are yellowish/orange circles on the leaves. they multiple like rabbits, and are pretty much a nightmare to remove as the eggs can take a while to hatch meaning they can come back.

So I've got a winner with SSDD, next I need to choose between the 4 Superstious. I feel bad as I will have to toss otherwise good clones, but I've been out of the loop for too long and am not personable with any growers at this time.

Reeks of pine, burning rubber, and what some people classify as banana, or some kind of weird fruit. I mainly get the pine and burning rubber. Total GHASH phenotype with huge fat leaves and very solid heavy duty structure. This was made using the same g13/hp 'deadly g' f1 female that Bodhi would use to create his current f3 male.

Not the ones that care about the health of there bees and quality of there honey. Not to mention the amount of extra pesticides that ends up in the honey that way. Read up on it. Honey Rules

They don't do it for the honey. They are hired by farmers, or people that have orchards to bring their bees in and pollinate the crops for them due to the declining bee population in many areas.

Honey is expensive!
Where I'm @ there are all kinds of bee's, but I don't live near monsanto crops.

Look, I know Monsanto is a great dog kicking thing, and I have issues with them as well, just not the scare tactics.

GMO food crops have time and time again, been proven to be as safe as non GMO crops, and at times arguably better due to increased nutritional value. These are independent funded and easily indexed in peer reviewed journals. I have an issue with the promotion of let's spray pesticides everywhere, a federal pass on litigation in the event shit hits the fan, and of course cross pollination with the ability to sue farmers.

But bees are important. That is all.

Not all wasps are bad a lot wasps such as the paperwasp are paraditoids they they eggs inside prey andpest eggs... They can be very good especially in greenhouses for ipm management.. the problem with moving bees us most those guys feed bees sugar water, artificial food.... Problem with that is it makes them more susceptible to disease and pathogens, because there also harvesting the honey and not leaving enough behind for the bees which has antibacterial properties etc. That help keep there immune system healthy. It's also one the very reasons there researching it for colony collapse disorder. Along with neonicitodes and insecticides etc.

Speaking of broadmites, I had to deal with them on my last run. I will tell you Avid alone will only increase the problem. You need a 100x magnification scope to clearly identify them. This is exactly why I decided to grow in the future from seeds. But of anyone ever does end up with broadmites, I highly suggest reading a thread at Iseemag. Best thread on this particular subject I've found.

Not to make an argument with you, but I identified them with a 30 x loupe, one can easily spot a very clearish/yellow dot, and those fuckers move. Not as large as spider mites, but with 50 x they were clear as day. And I must respectfully disagree as using avid as directed, solved my problems. Only needed two applications and the destruction of the worst of plants to get rid of them.

Some vegging Bodhi plants, some sexed others not so much.

good eyes, but progressive options sold ton of clones infested with broadmites where I live. The broadmites became resistant to the use of Avid. Anyone involved in horticulture will clearly state using a single source application such as Avid has escalated the problem. Great you were fortunate enough to solve your broadmite problem with Avid alone, but it's not good advice, at all.

I agree, I'm lucky in that fact. I tried practically every fucking suggestion I could find before resulting to use a miticide, and sorry I'm not going to quit for month or more and hope they die out.

resistance is a very real problem. But I will tell people it worked as a last resort and feel no shame about it in the least.

eta thank the god I don't believe in that it only took that once and they haven't been back since. They will seriously destroy your beloved garden so quickly, by the time you notice the damage, it becomes too late, and oddly they were always a problem in 12/12.

Plus always be very careful with a miticide and know what the fuck you are doing and what not to do. More is not better, know the half life, and ensure clean garden conditions.

Maybe Brekfist can chime in, anyone see an improvement Gogi Og x NL5 over Gogi OG?

Are the instant karma crosses gonna drop the same time as deadly g? And are the latest snow lotus and appy crosses(heaven mountain, lions milk) available anywhere besides HN?
I'm hooked man, this is like pokemon or baseball cards for growers
