I’m a bleeding heart liberal, medical cannabis user, and newbie grower. I love books, crafting, and 80s music.

Let’s talk about tent disinfection before starting a new grow. My plan is to spray down the tent with a mix of Dawn dish soap and water. Then wipe it all dry and disinfect the light with a damp cloth. How do you disinfect your tent between grows?

Me too. I can’t believe what they are doing to these pre-schoolers! Who in their right minds would be ok with patting down an innocent child and handcuffing them? Disgusting.

Did your backyard get heavy shade at different times of the day?

This is so incredibly wrong. 😭

This is the first I’m hearing about using additional colored lights.

Ohhhh! I see! The lowest setting on the happy light is the exact same nm in the Spider Farmer light. Am I missing something?

I make it even easier to move my plant around by putting it on a rolling plant caddy. www.walmart.com/ip/177557023...

I’m not sure about light spectrum (red vs blue or purple lights) but I know yield is dependent on how much light you have. 100W is the lowest wattage recommended. Of course you can grow under that but you are going to end up with a tiny plant.

🤣 I always try holding my nose to not taste the icky and it never works. I usually go for cheese at that point.

Mel @bluemel2.bsky.social · 1h

32W isn’t a lot of light. It could work for seedlings…

Senate is back in session today.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

That would be an incredible view!

@jbee150.bsky.social was just saying that they do perpetual grows. J would have a better idea of how to clean while still having plants inside the tent.

Mel @bluemel2.bsky.social · 15h

From what I’m reading you can use 70% isopropyl alcohol in a squirt bottle and it’s safe to use without diluting it with water.

Mel @bluemel2.bsky.social · 15h

I got a mini dirt devil to help keep it clean during the grow. Super helpful. A mornings work isn’t too bad.

It ruined any scissor hash I had going.

Mel @bluemel2.bsky.social · 15h

I wanted the bent tip but they were a lot more expensive for some reason. I wanted to make sure the scissors were worth the hype before getting two kinds. The green ones hurt and are constantly getting stuck open or closed because the lock has a mind of its own. The black coating flakes off.

Found it! Husband agrees it’s a great idea. Thank you.
