Mimed’s Perpetual Thread

I'm within a week or less of harvesting my last summer plant, a big sativa north of 100 days bloom already

I've forgotten to check the roots on the others but I have a reminder set on this last one, so at least I'm going to know for sure what, if anything I've got going on in my soil

Probably nothing but I've been a little freaked out since I saw your whole root critter thing going on and that infestation of aphids on my tomatoe plants earlier this year didn't add any peace of mind either LOL

I think the heat wave early summer brought a lot of bugs to a lot of growers.

Hey guys. look for some BC Headache powders, they are kick ass aspirin. come in individually wrapped powders of 1000mg...thought you may find that useful. Always learning something following you cats around here :)

That sounds like a handy way to handle the dosing. Thanks.

Yea, acetaminophen is not asprin. It's also interesting to note this: acetylsalicylic acid (asprin) comes from the bark of a willow tree. Those same willow trees that we use branches to make rooting hormones for sprouting roots on clones, it's a simlar line of reasoning.

But, Salicylic acid (SA) is a natural phytohormone found in plants where it plays many roles in plant growth, photosynthesis, transpiration, ion uptake, and defense against pathogens.

Gardeners have taken this information and made the following connection. SA exists in plants and is important for plant growth. ASA reduces pain in humans just like SA, and its name sounds similar, so it must also be good for plant growth.

It is important to understand that although SA and ASA are similar chemically, you can’t conclude they will have the same effect on plants.

I would try to find a more pure form of sailcylic acid, without it's acetyl component. My suggestion would be to locate a willow tree in your area and go from there, if possible.

(break branches, soak in water, and put water on plant).

I was kidding about the tylenol. ;-)


And what you wrote is what i have read on the subject. Aspirin isnt really a source.

So I had to yell at our cat “Monster” to stop kicking around her water fountain. So she punched her food dispenser and walked away in a huff.

Lol yes after a restraining order of course.

She will fight you. Just a fair warning.

Best to leave bear traps around your house after that.

MIMed does she bit?

MIMed does she bit?

Not to hurt us. But she does get carried away playing and may draw a little blood. Its usually me being too aggresive though. She has been totally great with guests.

Bent some plants and tied them down. I use binder clips on the edge of the pot and soft flexible wire tie. And i always brace the main stem to prevent the roots from pulling up.

Hopefully the lower branches will grow up and make a bush.

Veg plants have improved greatly. I guess the pesticide and then fungucide can take their toll on some strains.

I also have dimmed down to 80% with the 315 cmh. It is pretty intense for the young plants in the 3x3.
