@Roobarb - I'm always open to suggestions.

I might round up a few ladybirds n see what happens. I used predator mites when my snake had mites. They eat the other mites then die off. Might try them.

Ladybirds is always good. Get loads of chillies and garlic. Should manage the garlic easy enough haha. Simmer and strain with sive or coffee filters or something. Add a small amount of dish soap. Add some rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl) and spray liberally being careful to avoid soil if pos as it may have some effect on microbial activity .
Do a salt ring barrier on the soil for snails and slugs

I used a similar recipe already. Chilli, garlic, dish soap and veg oiled blended and sieved and sprayed liberally, prob was it didn't kill the eggs, so couple days later, more holes. Dish soap n water seems to be working fine so far for the mites.

I'll try the above and see what happens. I've only got 90% alcohol, imagine that would do??

If you ever get into veg growing, they LOVE calmag. Everything fucking explodes with a few feeds at 2ml per liter.

they do this naturally thats why your plants slightltly droop just before lights out n perk back up right before lights on well mine do anyway lol

yeah but can you imagine training them to wake up, have a feed, stretch all its leaves up etc before light comes on, then have it feed the perfect amount at the perfect times thru the day etc thats the possible implications of it :-)

yeah thats a good way to think about actually i think the plants limited to the total amount it can uptake dictated by environment n lights etc i dont think we could make the plant eat more/grow bigger with this but thats just my opinion i could be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy wrong lol

Think this is one for zedd an yorkie lol, bloody interesting though, wonder if it will have any application in weed growing? i.e. get your plants to "wake up" just before lights go on n go to sleep when lights go off??

made me think that if you could inject this into humans then u could modify, in a circadian pattern, a persons ATP production and therefore their ability to produce energy without sunlight would be inhibited lol anyways enough of that bollox Ghet that gorilla glue if it yields can I have a cut pls?

basically that article that bina put up was like they've found a way to have an on/off switch for energy production in a cell. Humans and plants get their energy from a molecule called ATP, the P being phosphorous
