As king lecter grower its gora be the new gen2 lecter mate. You will have a good eye for any differences.
The first to grow it . Go on.......
Anyone recognize this pest? Showed up on two seedlings and appeared to have munched the first true leaves. The pest is mobile and moved down the stem upon inspection and eventually dropped to the soil. I put diatomaceous earth around the bases and up the stems so should have them dealt with but would like an ID and I am having trouble finding a nymph picture of all the common pests.
Have a good day peeps! Spending the day with my lovely wife.....

Enjoy your Extra Day.............
The last time I hired anyone directly was over 20 years ago. I went through 30 interviews to find five quality people that met my standards.I'm hiring 2 new employees at work and I have four interviews today; wish me luck. These kids... sigh... one of the applicants requested special assistance on the Indeed skill aptitude test for "work motivation." It didn't say exactly WHY he was requesting assistance, but the skill test is just questions about your motivation to come to work and do tasks. I'm like "what could you POSSIBLY need help on when it comes to questions asking if you like coming to work?"
Other applicant, text her the address and time of her appointment on a Friday, with a "Read" receipt on her end. Come Monday, she calls in "I never got your text." Like fuck you didn't. lol
It's a good thing we don't pay well.
I paid Very well and my standards were very high. My candidates had to be former military and I sourced from only two ratings in the Navy . For the knowledge base needed and with safety being number one concern, that was the most reliable and dependable job pool of personnel.
For a myriad of reasons, I would really hate to do the same thing today! Keeping, my same standards, the job pool would be considerably smaller and would be more expensive in just the salary department, not to mention everything else. The reason for the smaller job pool Is extremely simple. It is because of the Navy moving away from steam powered vessels in the conventional fleet. That would leave basically the nuclear powered vessels.
One part of the pool would be those that had similar experience to myself. And that would be basically 10 years either side of my age. Not a bunch of spring chickens for sure! The other part of the pool would be a bunch of nukes. Both of those mean that there would be no cheap hires!,,,,,,,,,,,,, Cheap is a relative term.
I had five guys that I could totally depend on and basically all I had to do was give them their job assignments. They knew their job and really the only management problems that came up were almost always jurisdictional questions.
I could source employees from outside of my self-imposed job pool, but I can't imagine the amount of people that I would have to go through to find people that meant the same standards and then I could rely on. I really don't think I could duplicate the same team that I had. That same work ethic would be difficult to find today. I don't think the knowledge base would be that much more difficult.
Just thinking about how difficult it would be to assemble another team like I had before, it led me to think about if Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, Uncle Hymie was still personally interviewing every single nuclear officer. I think that old eccentric SOB would go absolute bonkers dealing with what the universities produce today!
I kind of don't think I could make it economically viable to do it as I did back then. I paid my guys extremely well and I still worked and done the same job that they did. My net pay was not that much more than theirs. The overhead that I had would be ridiculous today. Insurance and cars, were my biggest expenditures then and they will be quite a bit bigger today.
Staying retired and growing weed is much better!
