My first organic outdoor grow

@Med_in_Tropic, Oh! Ahahaha, yeah. Kretek. These are tobacco with cloves, essentially. Yep. I do roll with it, by blending it with the tobacco/clove mix. The strong clove smell covers the weed pretty well. But I never thought about using these as basically a one-hitter. Nice advice! I'll try that!

@JKT48, have you seen these fat brown cigarettes from Indonesia? It is blended with spices. With water cured weed, you only need very little. For me I can take very little. So I dug out some tobacco and from the tip and pack in like a quarter gram of weed. Has to be done at the safe time though.

@Med_in_Tropic, yes, I do water curing too. However this time, because this is a micro harvest (probably ~5g is all this is going to be), I'll enjoy this pure. What's kratek man?

@Med_in_Tropic, our climate is the same. We're both in South East Asia (*wink wink). Alright man, I'll look for those stuffs. Shouldn't be expensive at all. The Bacillus Thuringiensis is only like $7 for a kg.

@JKT48, hi man, you should be okay. Tobacco mosaic virus is not presence in all cigarettes. If you don’t get yellow mosaic pattern on the leaves you are good. Even then, it won’t kill your girl. Keep using the same batch of tobacco that worked. Just want to caution you that there is a risk of disease. No worry. Bacteria - I am in hot tropical climate. So the species here may not work for you. Here what works is a trio cocktail. No one microbe works for both mold and insects well. I found combination works much better. There are combo’s of microbe that can work together and actually more effective together. I spray a combination of one fungus and one bacteria just for mold. If it is too dry, I get aphids and trips. Then I add One other bacteria for caterpillars, aphids, and thrips and such. Here I use Trichoderma Harzenum with Bacillus Subtiles, and Bacillus Thuringisnsis. My spelling should be wrong. Otherwise I am a really big nerd. Just interrogate your shop tender for info on anti pest microbes. These guys knows what work in your setting including dosage and frequency. And the shop tenders most likely grow ganja at home too. Organic solution is not as fast as pesticides. And your girl will have holes in her leaves. I think of it as organically grown marks. She will get bigger and soon you should defoliate old leaves any way. You want buds not leaves and stems. Outdoor is fun. Peace bro.

@Med_in_Tropic, sorry man, this website has been so weird. Couldn't open it almost the entire day yesterday. Unfortunately I sprayed my plant before seeing your reply. But I looked around and that bacteria is available. I will try it out! Thanks for pointing this out. So does this thing work on all insects, or just specific ones? Any anti-mold properties in your experience?

@Med_in_Tropic, Oh, good call. Thanks man. I'll do that tonight.

@JKT48, Well, I'm not too far from the tropics (in Africa) and my plants have struggled for light too (lots of obstruction, continuous rain/overcast weather at times). I've done similar (even without airpots) and the initial bit of lacking light (while not ideal) shouldn't be a big problem since the plant will quickly outgrow it (it's gonna try to reach/stretch for light for a little while) and naturally they are often shaded/obscured or have lower light conditions in vegetation. I'm doing that atm with some new plants too, in winter...I'll see how it affects them. But yeah, if you can adjust the base, that'd probably be the way to go about it.

@@Ssomeguy, yea actually how stupid of me. This is airpot. I could just move the base up LOL! Yea I will do that. I’ll move the base up halfway. I can’t just fill it halfway at the bottom because then the plant won’t be getting enough sun. I’m in the tropics, so the sun is only 12 hours as it is. Thanks for pointing me the right way!

@JKT48, Maybe you could fill the pot like, half or so to start with, gradually add stuff?
