Hey guys,

Transplanted my pride and joy from like a 2.5Gal container to about a 40 gal container.
put 35 gall composted dirt 5 gal the rest of my 707 soil.
lost about 10% of the roots during the switch but i think itll be OK.
this is by far the biggest container ive used to date. but i was thinking a gallon of water
every other day.

anyone ever use this size container? will it need more water than that to soak the deep roots later on
i dont want dry roots mad deep in the soil to end up hurting the plant you know? any tips on
this size container would be cool. few pics b4 transplant. and then the pics from right after i took today.
Will need a bigger pot come harvest time. I have pots that size. I wouldn't use them through the season.

Yeah these fucking choppers drive me nuts too, I have seen the gray ones which are probably military, black and white one(black tail rotor and white round bubble cockpit) probably PD and a Red White one which isnt the coast guard cause its not a Dolphin. I scope them out all the time and try to look at pics on line to id whats what. I have my paperwork and within my plant limit but that really dont mean shit.

Here is my outdoor, its been over 100F and will be hitting 109F on Saturday and Sunday and then to 105 to 103 till Tuesday! Fucking heatwave sucks!

Interesting read. Being that this is the 3rd one I have seen. I think they are eating random insects. I live in the country. And while I thank jesus I don't have any leaf eating insects as of now. I do see bugs here and there. I spray with triazicide and malathion here and there, and neem oil. But bugs like the moist environment and also I think they may be liking the seabird guano. I dunno. I'd feed him but I think he'll be ok. Provided the lizards don't eat him! These lizards actually confront me when I enter the area. it's nuts.
One of the articles did mention about how to keep the humidity up for them with a water soaked sponge, and how they actually get their water from condensation droplets on the leafs and little tidbits of info like that.
Lots of interesting stuff just to browse, even if one doesn't have a pet Mantis.
OH, one more thing, they only have a lifespan of a year or so, and he looks pretty mature, so I hope he's around long enough for you to finish!
Just Google "What to feed a Praying Mantis".;-)
IDK about the lizards, LOL.
You still use Malathion?
Is it the good stuff of old?
I still have some Triox, Isotox and something else, I'm drawing a blank right now from back in the good ol' Ortho days.

Nah I use the new malathion. It works decent. I found some old bottles of Diazanon from the 1980's in my dad's shed. I wonder if they still work. Although I know that stuff leaches pretty hardcore.

And the thing is I don't think I need to feed the mantis. They are kickin' it there for the reason that there is random food sources. I do worry that one of the lizards might eat the mantis though. Them lizards are confrontation for only being 6 to 8 inches in length. One of them bobs up and down like he's trying to get tough. I was down low cutting young branches back and one was there in front of me within 2 ft on the fence trying to confront me. I've never seen shit like this. And I've lived elsewhere where there is far more lizards.

Here's a pic of one of them. Not scary by any means, but their demeanor is just aggressive.

Mine still works good, and the other bottle I mentioned that I can't remember the name of, was Ortho, from when I was young, and worked at a nursery, and we sold it as the best shit for termites.
I had given it to my grandfather, had to be around 84 or so, and he had used it sparingly like I told him since it was in the works they were trying to ban it.
When I found the bottle in his shed about 6 years ago, it still worked good on the termites my grandmother had in an old dead tree stump.

What are you even supposed to say about this shit. Really? I don't know if i am excited or angry. I love these pictures and I hate the fact that they are not mine! I am happy for TWS though. What a awesome experience. Kick ass!
I'm looking at it as something to aspire to.

I talked to a guy who worked for spectracide and they had to change the formula again recently. He said it leaches forever. Meaning as the earth gets wet, it just keeps going down and down and down. lol Diazanon as well. I use the malathion for leaf eating bugs. It's residual for a week or two as well. For the ground I use the triazicide. It workds really good. I've seen dead bugs on their backs days after applications. I won't use it once flowering comes though. only on the perimiters.

Yeah. That is for sure. A positive attitude will get you anything really. I get bummed out because back in the days my father had 35 acres in Colorado. I just picture valleys of pot. Like you say though. One day my trees wont be 2 ficus.
