Marigolds - The marigold is probably the most well known plant for repelling insects. French marigolds repel whiteflies and kill bad nematodes. Mexican marigolds are said to offend a host of destructive insects and wild rabbits as well. If you choose marigolds for your garden they must be scented to work as a repellant. And while this plant drives away many bad bugs, it also attracts spider mites and snails.

Basil -The oils in basil are said to repel thrips, flies and mosquitoes. I plant basil along side my tomatoes for larger, tastier tomatoes. However, basil and rue should not be planted together.

Dude, fucking thank you, thank you, thank you for that link! I'm going to save a bitch load of money while buying everything I want, not just need. I gotta to be more generous with my rep, I just keep giving it to the same 5 people over and over, but I wish I could double down on rep for whodat! But you know, there isn't a lot of people on RIU that knows what they are doing, maybe that's why I'm stingy with it. However, you my friend, you filled out that vertical grow perfectly, it worked as expected, which makes a fucking boss.

Also, mad fucking jelly I didn't start any butternut this year, I fucking love butternut squash soup. All I got is crooked necks :P Ratatouille all fall and winter long I guess, lol.

Kinda all green so its hard to make much out lol... There is some yellowing on the bottom, I v been picking them off and top dressing the plant with it... It decomposes pretty quickly actually, maybe 5 days and the leaves are all gone :-) The ground eats it and poops it out into a form the plant can eat,,, then then plant naturally drops more leaves feeding the ground directly under it making more food for the ground to poop out and make food for the plant again lol its cray I telll ya! She will get a proper tea hump day though :hump:



Space Bubble!





Pre colas filling out great,,, these things already kinda look like baseball bats :-) no sign of flowering yet.







Even mid way-lower cola the nodes are really tight,,, for me anyway.






Cheers!

The nodes on outdoor plants grow so completely different than indoor. Even with the same strains or clones. There's something in the sun we've yet to mimic with artificial lighting.

Whatever it is,,, I like it! IDK if your into science and what not but we are close to creating a small sun on earth, for limitless clean energy, and new ganja indoor grow lights of course!
Looking good as always bro!

Thanks Don, the glass was made by a friend... Tis fancy and shit lol. The poison, whisky on the rocks,,, rocks melted and make me look like a giant alcoholic which I am. I got a gallon for my birthday and its gone (drank myself) now that its gone its back to sober headed business :-)

CHoppers? I fear allot of things when it comes to growing, and unwanted birds in the sky are one of them... But Id have to tip my hat to someone who could spot this from the sky,,,, it looks like everything else around it. So yea I fear da choppa, but it is VERY unlikely it will be spotted... And to add its such a tiny grow lol

Twin you think I can run tea with my coco setup? Might be time for me to research. I may get a chance to have a decent little garden after all. Might be moving (again).

i'm much the same, i'm very much the same in life i'm either doing it or not. on it, or not. in some sort of paradoxical irony when i'm on it, things round me are plain sailing when i'm not i seem to have lots of issues. or maybe i can just block them easier when i'm drinking.

peaks and troughs man!

Coco IMO = hydro= synthetic nutes. Sure it can work for a foliar, but what's going on below the surface isn't anything organic, and if you want to go to that effort then just use a soil mix from the start. My .02$

Uh coco is organic matter (OM) thats breaking down as microbes and roots break it up turning it into soil. In the way Im thinking of using it I would toss it in the compost first. But your right, using synthetic nutes and trying to make a living medium just dont go together.

all of that may be true,but I run (sunshine advance mix #4)=coco,i use extreme tea compost brew tea...>>>this is the mix(posted by whodat)VIC'S SS

1 Bale sunshine mix #2 or promix (3.8 cu ft)>>I use>>(sunshine advance mix #4)=coco
8 cups Bone Meal - phosphorus source
4 cups Blood Meal - nitrogen source
1 1/3 cups Epsom salts - magnesium source
3-4 cups dolomite lime -calcium source & pH buffering
1 tsp fritted trace elements
4 cups kelp meal.
9kg (25 lbs) bag pure worm castings

- Mix thoroughly, moisten, and let sit 1-2 weeks before use.(my plants are in the mix as it cooks for them two weeks)
and I re-use that mix after each grow,it just keeps getting better.....what im saying is it will work.this is what I re-amend with.these are plushberry clones(same)both in the same mix,but the one on the left,get compost tea only,and the one on the right gets cns17 grow/bloom.....these pics are from a past grow.

Wasn't duchie doing organics with coco?
He was amending it like soil (meals, gaunos, etc), adding BM's (Beneficial Micro-organisms), mychorrhizae, compost, and his own worm castings?
