I would again recommend to not spray the leaves. Your plants are fine and I would recommend not listening to that particular friend as much - not trying to be a dick but there's no reason any of those should die. I wouldn't consider that anywhere close to major shock. Here are some of mine...

Very nice. Looking better than my little guys.

Yummm. I love pretty much any recipe with morels. Take a picture :) My aunt is an entomologist and has a few bee hives. Like you said, she goes out and finds swarming hives and then sorts through the swarm to find the queen. Once you have the queen you have the hive but sorting through...

18/6 has always worked better for me than 20/4 or 24 as well. 6500k is great for veg - for flower you'll want a 3:1 of 2700k:6500k. Like the rest have said, report actual wattage versus equivalent. Take Cervantes with a grain of salt when it comes to CFLs as he has never grown with them.

I like the color scheme and patterns of your lady bug more than mine :( Oh how Australia has some crazy animals.

Don't remind me about the expenses - uhg. I'm just taking classes for the fuck of it which is cheap from a community college but this is a major university so they charge out of the fucking ass. Going to learn how to raise bees as well. I'm not scared of bees but I wouldn't consider myself a...

The ferts in the compost will likely be enough to get it by but at the same time you might see faster growth with a small amount of the vega. I'd give a 1/4 dose and then step it up to a 1/2 dose the time after.

Start a new class today - Plant molecular and cell biology with a focus on how plants respond to biological and environmental stresses. Doesn't that sound just perfect for my hobby? Not sure evolution of crop plants will have as much relatable . :( Agricultural entomology will be fun...

I'll have my 6" 440cfm fan exhausting the attic 24/7 but it's a large attic so I doubt that would be enough airflow to keep the temps down. Drywall and insulation would work if I could get it up there but unfortunately it's a tricky entrance and I have no help. Not sure I'm down for cutting...

I like video spam :) I really have been wanting to try making stuffed squash blossom. Should have done it to my spaghetti squash last year - we didn't eat even a quarter of the stuff we grew.

Likely just a strain difference but it could be due to either the strain naturally being lighter in color or it's lighter in color because that strain requires different conditions than the rest, such as more nitrogen, or a lower pH, or perhaps higher temps...

What a bummer. Potential up the yin yang with that one.

You really might as well wait. Organics isn't complicated but it takes a bit more time in the beginning to get things set up. Once you're setup with your compost and tea and all the rest it becomes pretty simple to maintain. Love your enthusiasm with the 500g plastic container but you'll...

A tea for which stage of growth? How much would you like to brew and do you mind if it stinks? hehehe... So kelp meal is only partially water soluble and alfalfa meal even less so but they both contain natural growth stimulants so I would include some of both of those in most all teas you...

It isn't going to hurt to use it now but if the MiracleGrow isn't their organic line but their chem line then the molasses won't have as much of an effect. It does still have some good micros and vitamins though. I appreciate the compliment. I'm just into this stuff - it's my field of study...

I've heard crazy weird stories about molasses but here is the basics - First off you want black strap molasses - this is NOT the stuff sold in supermarkets as blackstrap (although it will work to a lesser degree). True black strap molasses is gross, you would never ever eat it. Its what is...

Hehe, yeah I've hooked up fans backwards before - like you said it does still feel like they are blowing sometimes. I think the plants look fine. I've had much much worse off plants make brilliant recoveries.

Woot woot! Isn't smoking home grown just that much better? Even when it's still a bit green I swear it's a ton more fun than smoking a bag of unknown grown by who know who. I also would love to see a pic or two :)

Well the house has a huge AC and I have a 12,000btu portable AC but the attic just gets sooo damn hot. In the summer it'll hit 110 here in the shade on some days which means the attic will be ~130 or higher? Not too sure a 12,000 btu portable AC would do all that much. I'm pretty sure even a...

Today will be day 1 of 12/12. I don't have super amazing ambitions for this plant - not sure what strain, isn't in perfect health, and it's in some super cheap crappy potting soil that I found in the garage when I moved in. But hopefully this will signify the start of a perpetual until it gets...
