control

The flower on the far right was not pollinated (control), the other two were. Of those two , the middle was pollinated first I should have documented better but guessing 4 weeks on the center flower, two weeks on the left Still early I guess, but.... :) The middle flower was pollinated...

So the first problem with the box is controlling the humidity. I have the timer on the humidifier set to go every 2 hours for 15min. It raises the humidity to 80% during that time span, but then it tinkers off to 30% before it's time for it to kick back on. If I set the timer too often, I'll be...

My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one. I just hooked it up last night, but it isn't working right! I have high speed, and this is a new computer, so it should be working fast but it isn't. It is extremely slow, pages are freezing up, and I did control Alt Delete to end a page that was...

Well, I guess it is time to introduce myself since I’ve been lurking for some time now. My name is Hotrod30; after my hotrod that I drive. To tell you how old I am; tenth grade math class we spent a week on learning how to use and master the Slide Rule. I grow my carnivorous plants...

I have a pot in my room with LFS and baby D. adelae that grew from the roots of a mama plant that died. I probably have 6-8 babies in there, but out of nowhere, several of them stopped growing (still have balled up new leaves on top, that were ready to uncurl), and the dew doesn't exist. I was...

keep in mind we passed this legislation looking for the fight......

Well since I let the cat outta the bag on the spray foam thread about my upcoming project I will show you the new material I'm going to build my double stack Highland vivarium and greenhouse terrarium out of. This is called AZEK PVC Trimboard, which is a waterproof "wood" made from PVC...

Alright this is for the headbangers...or anyone interested. Heavy metal music BOOSTS the growth and SIZE of PLANTS. Mythbusters did an experiment using peas isolating several groups in separate greenhouses. Each group (minus the control which just had natural greenhouse conditions) had a set...

"We know Obama is ushering in an age of left wing neo-fascist indoctrination and mind control..." (lol) but now he's reaching out to bearded moms! Look at the ad which was on my screen as I was completing an email tonight (I did not doctor the ad): First indoctrinating children and now bearded...

OK. Lay it on the line. What are options for insecticides when it comes to cp's? I sometimes just stare at my plants like i'm watching them grow (who doesn't right) and its not uncommon for me to find a few aphids on my capensis so I'll pick em off with tweezers. but today I was staring and the...

Hello Everyone. Happy Thanks Giving. I hope everyone will have a good one. Anyways. I am looking for seeds of Multi fork sundews. Ones Like Multifida, Dichotoma, Marston Dragon, Etc.... I want to grow these among my Neps in my Lowland greenhouse to help control the Mosquitos. I always get a...

So, I have 2 humidifiers. One is programmable, but settings only go up to 50%. This used to sit in my office at work until I convinced the boss we needed a bigger one for the whole front office. Mine now. The other is manual, you must turn it on and off. What a drag. Has anyone obtained a...

Congrats go to one of our own Kelly (ampac biotech) aka true424 Ampac Biotech's strain of T. atroviride ("Plant Helper") kicked butt in a recent study when compared to other beneficials and trichoderma strains in the control of Phytophthora... woohooo, I knew you were good but dang girl...

I haven't been in a bookshop in a while but today I stumbled into Borders and found a cool "new" release, it's the 50th anniversary edition of William S Burroughs' Naked Lunch. It was one of the last books put on trial to be banned in the United States. This edition is a restored, newly edited...

Hi guys, I got a large shipment from Borneo Exotics and I want to be sure I am handling them right. Some of the more temperamental ones are wilting and not looking too good. The weather in Sri Lanka has been extremely rainy and dark for about the past 4 months according to Robert Cantley, and...

Hey all. Time for my first post! I have started as a winter project a Highland Nepenthes Terrarium. An i'm quite please with the results! There is still a lot of improvements that could and may be done. But not bad for a first timer I think. A terrarium with lights was the only way to go since...

Hey guys, hope alls good on your side of the world! The names deathjester or DJ for short. :jester: What started as just an idea, a small project, something to over the winter help fend of insanity....well it's now turned in to a crippling addiction, :lol:Nepenthes!:lol: Why didn't these things...

Yesterday at my local nursery(where i buy sarrs often), i bought a Dana's Delight, Judith hindle, and leuco tarnock.Now after I checked out i noticed some white things on the soil. When i asked, she said it was snail control. she showed me the bag. Main ingredient was iron phosphate(or something...

I am at a cross roads as to what to do further with my sarr collection. This past winter I built an above ground bog much like Pyro's design. It has worked out pretty well and the plants are growing nicely but one downside I think is the lack of control of the water table. If it rains good and...
