Reesch, Wow! thanks for the input. And I am definitely looking for better magnification. My first magnifier had a light and I loved it, but was useless as it lasted about half an hour. I have better luck seeing in the grow room under my hps. Other types of light including the Sun...

Mine is a 30x but just like that one. However I am going to get one like this next check comes in as my 30x isn't strong enough. This is just what I need. Thanks... Poet... ...

Fellow Growers... It has been months since I burned all my plants in the fireplace, fire being the best medicine for scale. {Of course I sprayed 25% bleach to 75% water all over the place ten times.} The bleach seems to have done its job well. Now I am starting with Sour Bubble and a...

Ignore was what I meant, I just couldn't remember the guys name. Poet... ...

Fellow Growers, I had two thoughtful posts deleted after being insulted by someone who's name I forgot. He hated Ayn Rand. I have read Atlas Shrugged 13 times, all her books and it took just about 13 years. I'm an authority on Ayn Rand and just assumed he was just some high school kid...

I bought 2 packs of Sour Bubble seeds from Bog. They are coming up now, 10 plants up already! Got them just before this virus started. Bought two 13 packs and they threw in 10 extra seeds! 36 seeds for $140, all Sour Bubble too! Now that the virus is upon us, I feel better... last time I...

I hope discussing the Coronavirus, the Chinese Kung Flu... is alright. It's good that I live on my farm and the closest neighbor is a quarter mile away. I wouldn't live anyplace else but now I am really glad for my solitude. Solitude from people is solitude from problems as well as...

Fellow Growers, Today is an overcast rainy Sunday. Three little 'Sweet Cindy' have sprouted and are doing fine! I soaked the soil real good, then packed it down with a can. Soaked the 5 seeds two hours, then slipped them in the dirt, in 4" pots. Watered with warm water in a spray bottle...

Folks, Having had an infestation of scale is working out very well for me. Not only have I learned about fighting scale, mold, and getting little clones used to dry air, the house has not been this clean in decades. I vacuumed under the bed... { A feller could grow hisself a crop-o-corn...

Rosebud... Systemic, not only for the outside of the plant but 'inside'! I'm learning so much... 'I can't thank y'all enough'. The entire target is the house. There's not one plant left, all being burned in the wood stove. Now, the next two weeks its time for cleaning and sanitizing...

Scale killing update, Couldn't find the two bottles of alcohol I thought I had and the peroxide is low. I have two gallons of bleach however and money for 2 more. I sprayed the concrete floor, everywhere plants used to sit. The whole house! The bleach mix is 'three, glub, glub, glub's...

Folks, Bleaching plywood and gear today. Moving everything, outside to be sprayed with bleach now and Azamax before entering the house again. I'll use water with bleach for the inside surfaces, and peroxide and alcohol the carpets. I can buy Azamax in two weeks and this is just the...
