I took up growing a little over a year ago and I take a little pride in turning out some nice dank that while the yields leave something to be desired, the quality of my shit I'm finding to be better than the brickweed schwagg available around here so I'm happy with the results so far ( mostly)
Anyway, I made the fatal mistake of telling my one trusted friend about what I do and its been cool and all, but he decides he wants to do the same thing and he proceeds to try to mimic everything I've done to this point except that he uses crappy Miracle Gro soil and while I use 400watt MH and HPS lights, he opts for CFL lighting, so these things alone have his plants looking spindly and scraggly and not especially great, so anyways he asks me to come look at his grow and in about 5 minutes I inform him that his grow of which contains 15 or so plants in different stages is infested with spider mites. Of course he asks me, what do I do now? I tell him, you can try to battle this, but with all that I've read about it, you might consider trashing this entire grow as hard as that sounds. Well, no way in hell he says is he going to destroy his entire crop so out comes the bleach, Neem oil spray and he takes up the fight ( I inform him that I cannot partake nor will I ever visit his grow room again, the last time I walked into my house buck naked for fear of transferring the bitches to my grow !)
Anyway, long story short his plants take on a horrible stressed out look from the mite damage and from being sprayed half to death and as I predicted, the mites have returned, or more precisely, they never really left, it only takes a few survivors.
He shows me a plant hanging in his shed to dry and I look at it as close as I dare to get to it and you can see the webs in among the buds and I found it just disgusting.
I tell him I cant believe he would put something like that "out there" ( he doesnt smoke himself) he only took up growing for money, I did it to supply the Mrs and myself, and anyway I felt rather strongly about it. A bit of an argument ensues and I ask him if he went to a resataurant and the owner knew he had cockroaches in his food and served it to him anyway, how would he feel about that?
He says people smoke bugs all the time. I say its fucking disgusting
What do YOU think?
