Sup 420 family, hope everybody is gooving on a lekker vibe, blazing some good and most of all popping some beans yall :-puffin

So I have been using predator plants to control thrips, gnats and other burgs indoors. 

I'm not posting this as some cure all method, but itspretty natural.

Heres the deal, predator plants are awesome, the venus flytrap is a well known one, but there are many kinds and some even specifically target gnats, flying insects, etc.

Before you go out and buy a venus flytrap, these plants need a good life and specific needs met in order for them to thrive year after year. Their needs are not the same as cannabis in many ways so just keep an open mind.

Im only learning about these plants and testing them indoors as well, after all the heat on the forum about these damn thrips, neem, etc, I thought its a good time to plug me and my girlfriend's best buds YouTube channel.

This is a awesome video if you are interested in predator plants, tips on keeping em thriving.

@Dank this is very cool, i looked into it briefly a while back but now i'm pumped. how long will that nepenthis take to form its first pitcher? where did you get it? pans carnivores?

My friend sells for Pan, so Pans Carnivores is mostly a wholesale dealer. Just chatted to him and he confirmed long distance shipping/courier not a problem.

@Dank some Byblis Liniflora (rainbow plant) seed I germinated. Planning on trying this method just waiting for them to get bigger.

There are quite a few different kinds of nepenthis, the one in the picture is not a giant one, which can get so big it traps rats! They pitchers take roughly a month perhaps a bit more to form depending on their general happiness.

Once its goooing they usually have at least 2 pitchers open at a time.

      I desided it was time to really test the efectivity of these companion plants with regards to pests..

      Chamomile, Sage, Basil and Marigold. I know when planted in the same pot, Marigold can be very beneficial..
      Got some seeds and put them in Jiffies..

      A few days later and I have a few showing face...


      Sooo dam tiny...

      Whats up people
      Looking to buy some ladybugs for my garden.
      I am keeping all bugs under control at the moment via spraying my garden with my own mix.
      However it is that time of year and the flowers are coming! So I would like to stop spraying and try alternate methods.
       
      anyone know where i can buy ladybugs here is SA? Or any other predatorial mite for that matter.
       
      Cheers!
