You should really put chick wire cages around seedlings and be bit afraid of pyrethrin in veg(literally just crisanthemun extract) Seriously. It's still shocks me everyday that the entire grow world moved away from pyrethrin just because some forums got to confused with with permethrin (synthetic plasticized compound intended to have an extremely long half life) 15 years ago, and retailers ran hard with it because you make a higher profit margin off spinosad anyway because it's a cultured and fermented product, not synthesized or manufactured from extracts like pyrethrin . Also the echo Chambers. Always the echo chambers

I haven't lost one to predation since I started doing that like 10 years ago. Not a single one.


Doing a dozen chick wire cages costs about $10 and takes about 15 mins of time. Literally 100% of everything I see everyone else do to try and keep predators off their seedlings plants is:

1: not anywhere near as effective

2: cost more money and takes more time to implement

3: by contrast is kinda sorta a total waste of time, money, effort, and resources pretty often



And honestly I even use permethrin under very specific context. If I know a plant is not going to be flowered within 60 days and I'm bringing a phone inside from outside I will per meter in the f*** out of that thing. Every time. And I will never ever see a mite on my indoor plants. Something else I also haven't seen in over a decade now


P.s. pyrethrin even kills mite eggs. Should you have a spider mite infection on vegging plants you can completely get rid of it in a two-day back to back treatment with pyrethrin. Or you can use half a bottle of spinosad over the course of two weeks and you *might* have the same result. But then you also be finding dead butterflies and beneficials for the next month afterwards, which does not have happened with pyrethra and it breaks down in the sunlight in about 2 days


It is important though, that permethrin is NOT confused with pyrethrin. Not the same thing at all. Permethrin and cypermethrin is what the pest man sprays on apartment buildings once a month lol. Pyrethrin is a chrysanthemum extract with a very short half life.

Pyrethrin is how chrysanthemums and marigolds keep your garden free of pests. They are where it comes from

That one is 100% on me. I set them on the back deck and forgot to pick them back up.

What do you think got 'em?

 

[TheGoldenRoad]

My stupidity

 

[TheGoldenRoad]

What do you think got 'em?

Probably a small mouse or alike creature. Very little comes all the way up to the back deck of a house with five large dogs.

I would def vote mouse or a beetle

Good sized beetle can take a fresh seedling out in about 5-10 mins. Sometimes they'll even dig the roots out and eat those too just like a mouse. Ive caught them in the act late night before

The problem with beetles, is they can do damage before the pyrethrin or spinosad can get into em. Thats why im all about the 1/4" chick wire cages lol. keeps em all out, and the pyrethrin keeps the worms and mites off while still tiny and doesnt hurt the seedlings at all if sprayed during shade

@TheGoldenRoad

If you have ear wigs where you live, they can do that damage too, theyll make a nest in the bottom of your pot, and drive you mad trying to figure out how shit keeps eating on the plant.

If you see snail or slug damage, but NO slime trails, you have earwigs, not snails or slugs. the more ya know i guess


I could honestly write a book on overlooked and misunderstood cannabis growing topics i think.

Orange oil works great at breaking down cannabis resin. Great for cleaning the bong. I use Goof Off to keep the scissors from gumming up when I'm trimming too but not a fan of the petroleum smell and certainly don't want it on my hands or in the bong.

Starting to give new shoes all around

I started these GDP's the beginning of the year and now that I know most of the players sex it's time to give the girls a bit of attention. All trimmed to 8 mains.

Two of these three

will be conditioned to soil in half gallon pots and will be given away, I've got too many and it's either that or the compost pile.

Last of winter's Lettuce

Amazing. Wish we could grow it year round!

I’m going to roll with mouse. We have lots of Darkling beetles but I can’t see a beetle scaling the smooth wall of the pot. I could be wrong though!

I was tellin’ my pops the other day about the Cherry Wine Hemp. He loved it

Si. I've lost a couple dozen seedlings due to the furry bastards and why I've been using these

I'm gonna try for fem seeds this year with several of the fem only strains I have. We'll see
