so my friend gave me two tips for a succsesful outdoor grow. i was wondering if anyone could tell me if they would actually help. here they are:
1. if i put my old leaves and stems in the dirt around my plant they will increase the level of thc within it.
2. in order to keep insects from damaging it, i can dillute baby powder in water and put it in a spray bottle. giving the plant a brief spray everday.
thanks in advance for anybody who helps me.
1. No
2. Never heard of that. Try some normal bug spray.
thanx
1. No, in fact that is risky in terms of perpetuating pests/disease... some crops such as strawberries, you should actually do a BURN across your planting spot to eliminate pests and diseases. Generally a rule of thumb in any sort of cultivation, you want to keep dead plant parts away from living plants.
2. Baby powder (talc) is not soluble in water... that would technically be a suspension... but what purpose would that serve? Diatomaceous earth is a more common dust type pest control; it has sharp particles that kill bugs; talc, on the other hand, does not.
1. no
2. no
lol your friend isnt the brightest is he
A burn? What's that?
a controlled burn of the ground stinky means, akin to baking dirt in the oven.

The heat destroys both diseases and their vectors.
