Bishop takes pawn!!
That will pin your knight and bishop, waste a move, and flush your queen.
A lazy guy's attack.:D

Hey, I picked up a couple bricks of Botanicare CocoGro. Ready to start asking questions. Got some (sort of) expendible chillun's in the veg room. Ever wash off the roots and do a mid-veg conversion to coco? (8" rooted clone in a 1 gal plastic nursery pot--any chance to live?) Otherwise, time to ^ to a 3 gal soil pot, shoes gettin' tight!
Actually, got a 3gal plant I could attempt this with, too. If it's possible to do it, is converting from rootbound in soil to the same pot, but with coco considered an upsize? Seems like it would be.... :confused:
Where should I start a "going coco" thread? Call it what? If we put yer name on it many will check it out. Me no care. You wanna edjumacate John Q. as we go, that's okay, too.

They already have an excellent coco thread we could play in.
Ainokea 'bout JQP, they'll catch-up eventually.
If ya gots da tiny flies and itty larvea, be aware that they will live in coco too but will have nothing to eat except for root hairs!
They are very hard to eliminate. The adults will try to lay eggs in the new coco as you mix it.
The li'l buggahs will even live in hydro!
Long way back I planted some seeds and ran out of pots.
Put one in a 1g. milk jug.
Used Supersoil/perlite. from Homie de pot.
The soil was infested with Fungus Gnats! :mad:
The seedling growth slowed to a crawl as the roots got munched.
Juggie was the only normal sized healthy kid in the batch.
Why? Because I filled the jug to the top and had the seedling grow up through the 1/2" dia. mouth of the jug.
Aha!
Much less surface area for hatching, breathing, and egg laying.
After wasting a lot of effort on frontal attacks that they parried with a ferocious breeding rate, I found an easy, almost elegant fix.
Tulip growers put an inch of white sand on the soil surface.
Tried it, it worked, but it was a royal pita come transplant time
So, I now cut a circle or square of reflectix to fit the container.
Then, cut a slot to the center, then cut 8 radial lines about 1.5"
long from the center point. Kind of an asterisk.
That hugs the stem gently and expands as she grows. I place these on top of the pots to block the breeding cycle, with the advantage of 97% light reflection to the bottom leaves.

No pest strips knocked out the adult gnats and the spidermites and now the room is clean.
Oh, yeah, Your move, brah.
Aloha,

I meant I've got some spare plants that were prolly gonna get culled that I can experiment with. I like the reflectix trick, though. Been doin' that with paper plates, per an earlier discussion between you and Stinky, I think. :thumbsup:
Direct transplant sounds good. The direct approach.
The hydro store guy seemed to think Fox Farm nutes would be fine; he didn't try to sell me something different, which is unusual for him. I've got Fox Farm nutes for soil, though--not hydro. Don't know if that even registered with him. Couldn't remember what you'd recommended for nutes, so I just got the coco bricks. Expanded one brick already with plain non-nuted, non-ph'ed tap water. (Just slightly alkaline, proper nutes put it right. Quit testing it awhile back, PIA. Now need your advice on convenient pH and dissolved solids meters. (Hanna? Milwaukee?))
Anyway, got at least one 8" plant that I would rather sacrifice in a fiendish experiment than straight-up execute. :buzz_saw: Thinkin' of offering a "FF Grow-Big for soil" kinda all-you-can-eat-buffet, with that as the only item. Jes' to see. Take it or leave it, you spoiled plant! :eat:
Jeez. Now IC's down.
And I'll move my KR pawn out to KR3.
Hmm. Lemme go see if our boards agree.Quote:

Yup, same board.
Um, you prolly don't want to do dat.
Iff'n ya does, I'll steal your knight and lean on your Rook.
Care to re-consider?
Weeze.
i've heard nothing but bad things about hanna, but a lot of people (stinky included i believe) recommend milwaukee.Quote:

I think I've got a pawn threatening your bishop if he wants my knight. Rook no worried. Did I mess up the board again?Quote:

Lemme see.
Nope, you have it right
It stands then.
Lemme add a li'l pressure;
