Anyone, Anywhere Grow

@DAREdropout, Hey you are so awesome for looking into that for me. I did read about some bugs who feed off decaying matter, I like to hope these are them...but I'm so terrified they're not. But I think you're right that if I keep not seeing marks on the plant itself maybe they're alright to be there. I initially had this grow with 2 fog plants and the #1 got thrown out. Ill have to keep a good eye out for any signs of damage. Thanks again, everyone has been so helpful, this really is a great little community.

@Experimentgreen, There are thousands of different types of little bugs that live in soil. Some of them feed on living plants, but my understanding is most of them feed on DECAYING organic matter. It's not uncommon at all for bagged topsoil or compost to have little critters in it. Where I'm going with this: Are you 100% that they're feeding on your plants, and not the compost in the soil? If your plant is sharing soil with these bugs, and it's not looking distressed, they may not actually be an issue! Nonetheless, two things popped into mind: 1. Predatory nematodes. Inexpensive (generally <20$) and 100% organic/chem-free. Won't stress your girls. Look 'em up on Amazon. 2. Get a really large tarp, and on a really bright, hot, dry day, spread all your soil thinly and evenly across the tarp, and bake it in the sun. Dry it to a dusty crisp. These critters need moisture to survive, and drying out your soil in the sun will force them out and send them looking a new home. This won't help your current plants, but your future grows should be a lot more bug-free. Don't let this get you down, sister! I 100% guarantee even grand master growers out there have their fair share of problems and shitty grows. It's like a clerk at my local hydro shop told me (and I wrote it down): "That's the fun and pain of growing cannabis. You never know how a grow will pan out. You think have a recipe for success, next thing you know you have a plant that refuses to stay alive. Sometimes it's something you can change, sometimes it's just the genetics of that one individual plant, and nothing you can do will make it happy. Every seed you pop is a dice roll."

@Experimentgreen, hopefully you'll manage to get it under control ;)

@Experimentgreen, oh yeah you are that is for sure. Lmfao

@Teamdirtbag2, I know you're just the sweetest thing as always...but that doesn't mean I'm not giving you many laughing at me moments.

@Experimentgreen,not all of the emojis work here

@Experimentgreen, That's because they're too fat..... No that box has eluded me since day one. But dont worry I'm still looking. Now if you were to build them stairs, they are probably dumb enough to find there way back home.

@Teamdirtbag2, I dont think chickens can really fly either, the one got over the neighbors4ft fence and couldn't get back over. They kinda just jump and flap and sorta hover for a second.

@Teamdirtbag2, penguins can fly, just not in the air, they fly through the water at like 20 miles per hour. :) A bird is a warm blooded, egg laying, feather having beak mouthed, sometimes flying animal. Haven't you unpacked your dictionary yet? Just search for the 50lb box and ill bet its in there.

@CRiSPrGrow, i think the pot or ground matters. Say you go from seed not clone, youll have a taproot, a taproot like in a tree or other plant can go so deep and seek out water etc, in a pot, its all on you for everything. But im sure in ground has draw backs too,

@Mr_Positivo,I listened to an incredible podcast that mentioned the silica additive of potassium silicate. It was so informative and helpful. Thanks so much for reaching out to me with advice. I'm so lucky to have had so many people willing to help me. Lol. ✌️

@CRiSPrGrow, Adding Silicon to your nute mix will help and is recommended . It will strengthen cell walls and make the plant more resistant to environmental stresses. Myco's will help also. Good luck.

@Teamdirtbag2, Where's the good part? Remember I need signs directions and pictures to get me where I'm supposed to be.

@Experimentgreen, you haven't even got to the good part... still laughing.

@Teamdirtbag2, ha ha ha me so funny. Huh? Well you so funny! I'm lmfao-ing over here...at you, you small Asian girl! Farmer-brettsuki-chiba. That can be your Asian girl grow name ;)

@HighTV, she is one strong mama, thats why i named her Bertha after an elephant i knew growing up. 🐘🐘💚🌱

@Black_Magic,😊 ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies. 😁 ill just be vague as all hell. 💋

@HighTV,I think she did

@Larimar, I know, lol totally green everywhere. I had my first flower show up the other day! I was so thrilled!

@Experimentgreen,Hi... nice Garden, looks like mine .. green everywhere, this year is a great year or herbs, successfull and happy growing

@Tazard, I have no idea who that is, but if so maybe he has some tips lol. 💚🌱

@Experimentgreen, just a late bloomer im sure she will flower soon.

@Nomad, I know....and it still doesnt want to flower. Shes the slow one of the group I guess.

@Experimentgreen,this world be awesome if you got time until Oktober

@TomatoloverBoy,hmm at least not until august...so maybe by like late Sept. Oct. They be ready.

@Experimentgreen, it's an endless learning process, kind of what I love most, obviously the end result is also good though!

@Stinkygorilla, yeah I've had countless problems but endless growth progress and learning too...so it's a good thing no matter which way I look at it. Even if it dies tomorrow I will have learned so much.

@Stinkygorilla, thanks. 😊. Shes definitely the slow poke of the group, but maybe that's common of Fire OG? I know I've read they dislike very high heat and we've been at least mid 90s for weeks on weeks now.

@DeathCrusher92, Oh you are so kind to seek me out and give me all that great advice. I appreciate you so much. I heard vinegar cups are also good to repel the ants, they can't stand the smell. And another one especially outdoors, a tuna can or cat can with slice of apple and then filled with oil they seek the apple and sorry buggies there's no escaping after that.(great for ants, earwigs, etc).

@Experimentgreen, As far as I know all Grow Diaries accounts are free (at least currently). But you are only able to ask one question at a time. In order to ask another question you need to close the previous question by selecting an answer or removing the question.

@DudeGrowsWeed, What's up with these grow questions and "ive reached my Free account limit" I gotta purchase an account to have more? Is that how they help to fund this whole operation? If I'm going to purchase an account I hope they'll give me more letters to work with so I can at least explain my problem correctly to where its understandable. Dang.

@Experimentgreen, I would recommend using Recharge by Real Growers to boost the soil afterwards. It’s available from realgrowers.com and on Amazon. I’ve been using Recharge with all of my plants over the past couple of months and my girls absolutely love it. It’s full of tons of beneficials for the soil.

@Experimentgreen, It's because you're so sweet.😘

@Teamdirtbag2, no wonder my teeth hurt...i was thinking wtf, i dont eat candy or drink soda! Who or what is doing this...now i know 👅

@Experimentgreen, You are so sweet, I'm getting a toothache. See you can be nice. But honestly that's what you do in life, even in the midst of all the craziness. Finish what you start, even when you know it's not what you wanted originally. Dont give up....Persistence pays off, or drives you crazy. Thank You. I'm proud of it too.

@Experimentgreen, would you just do it already. Dont keep me waiting.

@Teamdirtbag2, if you don't stop GD thumbing me....I'm gonna #kickthefarmer 😋

@Ironlungs, let's reserve judgment on what I can and cant handle until the end of the season. I may have committed plant genocide by that time. 😊
