This Orange Cookies is looking sweet. This is Orange Juice x GSC from Franchise. I was very disappointed to hear that many found hermies in these seeds. These are the same seeds Sunny D was found in.. I hope I wont be another one to get all hermies.
to be fair,i didn't pay for shipping...or at least no extra charge for it...
Oh I did. It was like 25 to get them.
Where did you order the bugs from Ich? You going to try keeping a colony of them beetles around?
What do they do when they run out of stuff to eat?
i was hoping to have all day tomorrow to deal with getting the tent set up and the veg room rearranged...might not happen until monday now...got an all day bike ride on saturday,then toys for tots on sunday plus garden chores that day...
I got them from these guys:

Yes I am. It looks really easy to keep a breeder around so why not.
Here is a good link on how to do that:

I showed my breeder in my LED Vert Scrog thread today.

They starve to death. SO you feed them chicken crumbles, oatmeal, or trout food. I have chicken so that is not a big deal for me. Plus a 50 pound bag of chicken feed is $12. And I am sure it will still be feeding rove beetles when my great grand kids inherit the breeder.
Have you tried BT for the fungus gnats? It's a bacteria that kills the larval stage.
I have and it wears off and I get them back. This is something I can breed with little effort and never run out.
you should try bone dry desert air,nothing like 7% humidity to keep them in check
If had them pretty bad before from a batch of Happy Frog. I broke up mosquito dunks and tilled it into the top inch or so. What didn't die got sticky trapped. Every once in a while I'll see one or two, and I won't water that day. They usually move on.
I grow in coco and they love it. Drying it out doesnt help at all.
Yeah, drying out coco is not great for the plants either. If I skip a day with these small containers, they are visibly pissed the next day.
