Fungus Gnat Removal (leverages a bacteria that kills only fungus gnats and mosquitos)

Hey! They tend to be pretty sensitive about pH. The yellow leaves is chlorosis, typically from an iron deficiency and too high of pH. I’ve got a big tree growing at 35% and when I don’t water it enough, it droops, but that leaf chlorosis is related to pH. Target 5.5pH and use organic fertilizer. They’re a fast growing super leafy plant so their nitrogen and iron needs are high.

Very interesting experiment! I was surprised how quickly they sprouted and grew so tall.

Those first two leaves are called cotyledons.
They sustain the sprout until it can feed itself.
That´s why they are so thick.

Now I got the urge to get one of those chocolate pods, damn

[MrKabloona]

I had no idea what was in a chocolate pod. I'm certain to have a bad nightmare tonight now that I do. Ye-gods, 'looks like something worthy of a horror movie. Thank you for another well done, enlightening video.

Already ordered a pod. Going for Wisconsin grown chocolate myself.

I love that kind of content! Do you have in mind to grow real vanilla orchid? It's vanilla planifolia and it has to be polinated by hand to get the vanilla pods. It's fascinating.
It would be awesome to see a video like this one but with vanilla 🤓

Ummmm. You KNOW I must have a Chocolate Tree!!! This was Awesome!

I love your shirt! You always wear the coolest shirts, they remind me of Hawaiian shirts but tshirt style 😁🌺

[XvREByrdvX]

loving all your vids. should I let my pothos callous over before putting in water? didnt see a vid on that. thanks!

[tzpvihm]

Where can we order chocolate pods?? I'm really interested in trying to grow one. Thanks for the video.🙂

[aveyli]

This is really cool, do C. sativa next lol

[joeponder]

What do you do with all your plants? Do they just hang out in that grow spot and you kinda chill in there and nerd out with em? I’m not teasing or anything, I do the same with my little “aquarium room”. Just curious what do you end up doing with them all especially since it seems a lot of yours are like exotic or what not.

[carlosvillalta]

Im gonna try and plant them now do you think a green house would work if you want them outside ?

[Gourd_YT]

I'm growing my chocolate with towels and plastic bags. How did the beans from the bag method go for you? I'm embarking on a search in a non tropical region to find the best methods to grow all tropical plants I could get my hands on.

Such a cool video! I have a question about the propogation boxis, did you ever encounter any pests in the boxes?

[Kaorulabelle]

What happened to the seeds you put in the ziplock bag? Did they mold to death?

[MotleyStew]

Would these methods give the same results for snake fruit seeds too? I was doing the moist paper towel method and only got the little nubs to appear as well but at least they didn’t rot like yours. • I’ve recently put those same seeds into soil. Do you think they will grow even after the failed bag method?

[suieditsowo]

How much times do you water them for each day?

[lawrencesalazar]

Thank you... needs a little sunlight, but, not full...
