That reminded me, Ive caught 3 bats over the years. The first one was sleeping under the overhang of the entranceway to my dr office...i had it in my hands in the waiting room, screaming and clicking, cleared out half the room lol my doc gave me this dry look and didnt even mention it hahaha i sat there through the whole appointment holding it, i was like 19, havent thought of that in a while. I tried to keep it in a 5' cubed reptile enclosure, but they would need a very large aviary, i think they only eat while flying. Im not sure if theyd even be able to be kept in captivity, any cage would probably confuse their sonar. I let him go after 2 days. One thing that i never understood is why bats supposedly are a high risk for rabies vector, youd think they wouldnt really come into contact with other mammals. Wwwillie makes a good point, guano collection probably greatly disturbs bat colonies and seabird breeding grounds maybe? Ive read in a couple books and sites that rabbit poop is the best manure to use, i have a pet rabbit and grew a plant with his...butt raisins..., it turned out pretty good.
@NoRobo, im not trying to shit on organics, i know it works, ive tried it and seen tons of bomb bud come from orggrows. I cant get into it til i have a house, but im very interested in making soil. I tried it in my apartment but started getting bugs, and i dont wanna come up with some crazy story about why im cooking and hauling compost at my parents house, although im pretty sure they know what im doing lol the other day they said i should grow when it becomes legal here, i help them with their vegetable garden. Im sure at some point ill get interested in growing for terpenes and smoke quality, but right now im pretty fascinated with trying to grow as huge plants as possible. I dont think its a greed thing, i end up giving half of it away, it just...um...strikes my fancy you could say. I respect what youre doing, your plants look awesome and you clearly have alot of skill. Theres so many ways to do this, before these plants, i was obsessed with aquarium plants. One thing i wanna look into is tissue culture, i did that with aquarium plants. You clone the plants by cell scrapings and grow it in a nutrient gel. My goal is to have a house with a green house within 5 years and experiment with all sorts of botany. Boy, i am really wired, i found this "Kava" brand instant coffee thats really good, its de-acidified with potassium hydrate and tastes almost like the real thing. I think i may have gone a little overboard mixinh it too strongly lol
Day 38:
I noticed this morning that a couple leaves are turning upside down, is that indicative of something bad?
