Sadly, these will be the only things I'll be growing (for now). I must wait until "legal" hits here in Cannaba, I mean Canada. Spring 2017 is the timeline for legislation.

I'm hoping to maybe sell some at flea markets, etc., bur mostly I just wanna grow some cool shit!

Thanks for adding to this, GMT.

Some random photo's I grabbed out the web, I have a few different ones like in the pics above..the sundews main diet is little gnats and come to think of it I've never noticed thrip damage on them even though they are everywhere where I stay, mites they dont eat.. although I'm not sure but they may release pheromones to attract the flyers too..The D. binata is a beast and that is the one to get for pest control, the more it eats the more it grows..until it is out of control..careful repotting D. Binata, each tiny little piece of root will grow into a new plant and it'll turn up everywhere..

They make beautiful flowers but if they are wild in your area and you don't want cross-pollination or you want to make the leaves mass grow much quicker, pinch them off.

Mother Nature, she can be a horror story depending on where you sit in the food chain.

Plants that eat animals/bugs - nice reversal.

His plants ARE really nice & the exchange rate makes them very affordable - he replied to my query in less than 12 hours.

Sadly, he said he's unable to ship plants to Cannaba, I mean Canada. I asked about just seeds on my reply, here's hoping.

Thanks again for the info

I've been to his nursery once and it still sticks in my mind..Just mind-blowing, the pitcher plants he has are the craziest I reckon..some are have huge jug size purple pitchers that eat baby monkeys and rats in the wild..Some look like a toilet bowls, I have one myself that makes these pitchers that look like penises before they open up..He has thousands of carnivore plants at his place.

I read somewhere long ago, I'll try fin the reference, of borneo pitchers that were observed to climb down a tree, walk on pitchers and climb up and re-attach to another tree, if the conditions were not favorable for them. Yeah plants ey..

A praying mantis can destroy bugs (and humming birds apparently), but I don't know if they would attack anthing that gets into an indoor grow. There are tons of natural preditors that farmers use to get rid of unwanted insects. Lady bugs eat tons of afids a day is another example. But I guess I did start this thread about killer plants so I'm already off topic.

I have a thread on predator bugs and wouldn't mind you shedding some light

- if you haven't already lol
