Soup the Gardener

I’ve been testing some grow room monitors from Pulse for the last few weeks and they’re really cool! Not only will they ping your phone if there’s an issue in the grow, they also track your environmental data which can help you make better decisions and grow better bud! Check out my full article on the Pulse monitor, now live at DudeGrows.com! https://www.dudegrows.com/pulse-more-than-a-grow-monitor/

What’s the biggest challenge when starting your first cannabis grow? Please leave me a comment below. Thanks to everyone who has responded already on my instagram.

Doing a preventive dip on some companion plants I picked up yesterday. Normally I would never bring outside plants into my indoor grow, but I just released a ton of predators in here so I’m going to make an exception this time. Still following some precautions though! Giving them a quick dip in some tweetmint enzymatic soap will help take care of any stowaways. I highly recommend doing this with any clones or plants you bring into your grow. A quick dip in preventative solution washes off most bad critters and goes a long way towards preventing pest issues in the garden.

Released into the grow to finish off the thrips. Also put out some amblyseius cucumeris slow release sachets. Apparently both species can also survive on pollen, so I’m going to be experimenting with some companion plants and maybe some supplemental pollen feeding to see if I can establish a long term population for my garden. If you have any experience with using companion plants or pollen to help establish predator populations, please hit me up!
