I think I will go ahead and dip the whole Blue Dream plant and bring her inside. I don't want to take any chances of losing her.

All i found this and wow. Mo you do allot of growing outdoors and can use a tarp ect. this is really cool. Tell me what you think?
CO2 ”bomb”

A vinegar-soda drip generator doesn’t work well in the outdoors, where open breezes quickly carry off any CO2 that is generated-along with a steady and unmistakable odor of vinegar that could, if the breeze was favorable, lead thieves or authorities directly to your plot.

For this type of generator to be useful it needs to swiftly generate an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide within a small enclosed space that mostly or completely prohibits escape to the outside. A solution that has been useful consists of covering a plant entirely with a large plastic bag, the length of which is at least sufficient to reach the ground without bending over a plant’s top. Next I place a plastic peanut butter jar or similar jar that is one-quarter filled with baking soda and place the open jar upright under the tent formed by the plastic bag. Then I reach under the bag’s hem and pour a tablespoonful of vinegar into the jar until it begins to foam as it generates CO2. Reseal the bag against the ground, let the plant breathe for fifteen minutes, then add more vinegar to the remaining baking soda, stirring the mix with a stick to ensure that all vinegar and soda have been combined. Leave the CO2-filled bag over your plant for about four hours to thoroughly infuse its tissues, and repeat as you deem necessary.

You cannot give a plant too much CO2, but I prefer to use bombs at night, when there are rarely people around to smell them. I also feel better about covering up my plants at night, when the process won’t deny them vital sunlight.

Did some more trimming. I'm about done with it. I smoked this little premature bit off the bottom of a branch for a tester and holy smokes it was stronger than I expected. I was just getting ready to go to dinner with the wife and I had to let her drive.

Plants don't absorb CO2 at night.

I have used seaweed. The SuperSoil had rock phosphate (makes me think of rock lobster). I pH my tap water outside with Phos acid and I use banana peels in my compost. The compost and worm compost seem to be my most amazing soil. I need to get a larger worm bin going and start collecting compost ingredients from the neighbors. I also want to start raising chickens and rabbits.

First I need to finish the screen house. Once the weather gets below the 90s I can work outside during the day. Mornings right now are the best. Evenings the mosquitoes come out and try to kill me with West Nile virus.

I may pick up some shade cloth from Home Depot and try to give the garden some shade.

Cheers,
Mo
