With coco you don't need all that much. They grow bigger and faster then in soil since they're fertigated several times a day and never have to search for nutes.I love how small are the pots and how huge are the plants!!!!
They're killing me. They get tea 2-3 x's a week as needed and 10-5-5 fish emulsion 1st and 15th. Couldn't grow any slower. I'd be hard pressed to try again when I can grow big fast growing plants in coco so easily. Even tomatoes are a month or more ahead of soil growing. They have until October to get it in gear and produce but they won't compare to coco grown plants."Soil grow
I really don't know why I bother"

Yes. My neighbor uses them, works great. I had several plants last year who started to curl up due to sun burn & heat. One never recovered. Nasty.Those snake eggs are a find. Will be cool to watch and I hope they hatch. Your plants are really flourishing! I had 100 degree weather today and had to drag my plants to shade for the rest of the day. I need to find a screen or something to shield them, yet get them enough sun to grow.
That's not something we see much of up here. We have a few small garden snakes around but I've seen 2 in 25 years. It's just too cold for them through the winter I guess, we could use more because its not too cold for mice & other small rodents that thrive.Yes. My neighbor uses them, works great.

There's enough trees around to give my garden some filtered shade but south side of the house can get bad. Not growing anything there this year.
I love snakes. Learned about rattlers at an early age by their sound. Taken camping, fishing and hunting at an early age. Had an awesome upbringing. I've kept and bread several snake species in the past. These eggs should be a breeze. They're very soft so laid recently. These take 5-6 weeks to hatch. I'll put them in a cool Northern corner of the garage covered in soil and I'll spray it a couple times a week. Can't wait!
Yeah, the male holds the female down with his mouth. Looks like fighting. I understand these are cannibalistic after hatching. Seen it before with Green Snakes 30 years ago. Several were dead with another dead snake hanging out of their mouths. I'll pick up a dozen plastic food containers, add some moist vermiculite, air holes, one each egg and keep in a cool spot.The snake eggs are beautiful! I have often found them hatched, but never whole. I remember when I was a little kid and I saw two snakes mating in a huge soil pile. I thought that they were fighting at first, but my father was nice enough to explain the circumstances of their dual to me haha. I hope that the eggs hatch for you. Positive vibes...

Maybe an inch and a quarter long. Picture would make a great logo.
I didn't know that. I didn't see another one but wasn't looking. I had a friend years ago who ordered cocoons and hatched them out. Very interesting critters.When their tails are up like that, they are in battle mode. Cool shot.
Ya know it's funny when I see others post about a male, usually they're filling a curse jar. Not me, I want the nice males for breading and saving pollen, and they are beautiful.You do beautiful work brother! I absolutely love seeing males in full bloom. Positive vibes...
