    Just been informed the Cicadas will be returning this year in my area.
    What can be done about these pest and can they be a problem for outdoor growers? I know they are not alive very long after they emerge and they usually make alot of noise mate and die.
    Does anyone have any info about these bugs?
    Please feel free to discuss or link info to help me know more about them.
    Might just round up all the dead ones and use them in my compost lol

    I use CFLs to veg they are really good.
    4-5wks will be much better then 2.
    That will make sure your main stem and root system is strong

    How big are you going to dig your holes and what soil do you plan on using?
    10 plants will need alot of dirt if you want a decent harvest
     
  13. Okk I will prob grow then in these taller coffe cups from job lol it will give them a little more room than those party cups

    I've attempted indoors with cfls so in expecting some something stretching :/

    I need more lights
     
  14. You need the light to be inches from your plant for it not to stretch too much.
    I learned that lesson on my first CFL grow they were long as fak
     
  15. Yeah Mann I'm trying to get aleast 25-30 plants out there hoping I get a couple of females this is a dual op so.were splitting harvest down the middle
     
  16. Thats alot of work goodluck
     
  17. Yea its going to be a long summer, I'm enjoying this, I can see my self moving to a rual area or further south
