Pretty good ai response, Although from experience, depending on the depth of the sunscald, the underlying fruit can be affected with rapid browning.

Growing outside can be done and without pesticides or much complexity. Don't try to grow during the period most cannabis outdoor growers will grow in most parts of the world May/November because the rain will wreck just about everything. I even tried using a clear plastic tarp 24 feet off the ground to fend the rain off, but the humidity will rot most flower, tho' I did have some success with Ace Seeds Honduras, a large sativa plant supposedly a mix of Oaxxacan and Colombian, but I don't like the weed I got from it that much. Gorgeous plant tho' and did not have issues with the humidity and heat. I had success with Thai and Lao landrace/heirloom strains growing in the September-March time frame. Probably a bit too late, I lost a number of plants in March to bud rot and powdery mildew. Anything with dense buds is not going to work during that time frame as I found, anything with what most people plant and grow in the west in the dna. You have to plant stuff with fluffy open bud structure, not nuggets, those will rot mostly outside. What grew best for me was Real Seed Company's Lao Gold. Nearly without a hitch and a very enjoyable mood elevating buzz and zero paranoia. Did not spray them for bugs and there did not seem to be any and gave them weekly bat guano extract and molasses and some fermented banana teas as well as stuff off our compost heap and cow poop from the neighbors cows which you get magic mushrooms out of. The plants are also not so enormous so better stealth factor, a nice manageable 6-7 feet high. I would grow them again in a heartbeat, tho' not sure I dare to.

You are talking like a confused person. It is you that is making the claims that pathogenic germs /viruses exist. Where is there any evidence? 100s of years of research eh! Point me to a paper then. Of course germs are real. Who has said otherwise? Pathogenic germs are a new argument however. Show where they are capable of transferring illness from one to another causing the same illness. Stop the waffle. Stop the nonsense and point to a paper, anywhere, at any time that shows pathogens exist. In Dr Roytas' book he closely examines past studies, many by the US Naval Medical. Take a read Sir. Plenty of evidence is out there. By the way Sir your examples '',,,,Measles, HIV, Covid, Flu?'' are not caused by a virus, and the symptoms of them are not pathogenic. Nature has all the answers we seek.

Yes, sunscald is probably correct. Maintain shading of the fruit as well as the soil surface to prevent loss of moisture in the soil and the plant tissue hydration. Dried tissues will burn more easily. Deep water adequately during the dry season, Mulch the soil surface for retention of soil moisture. Nutrition matters! Biofertilization provides nutritional support for plant heath and resistance to environmental impacts.

The age gap problem is quite a western only thing.

The "white stuff" on the cocoa trees was probably mealy bugs or powdery mildew. Either/both are easy to control and certainly it was horrible advise to unnecessarily cut them down.

How are these people being recruited?

So now we trust AI? Map of Poland 1939, assuming you can read maps.

Bad idea in my opinion. You may get a chemical treatment recommendation because that is what they are obligated to sell and that is the only thing they know. The shop will not likely know the importance of the cultural factors, growing condtions, soil and water management that are all-important for building plant health and natural resistance to pests and diseases.

Not stupid. It's way early to do anything except to wait for the form to arrive. An exception might be if you are unable to receive any mail for whatever reason.

What could possibly go wrong? Nothing , the past three years is evidence of that

best you check again its actually 150 W (its probably equivalent to a 1000w incandescent)

Yesterday saw a 65-70 guy walking through the market here in rural Thailand with his 20 year old GF. They were holding hands and seemed happy. Think the locals just giggle a little and that is about the extent of it. In Pattaya nobody would even notice but here definitely is noticed immediately. I would feel stupid but to each his own. The better question is how many people do you know that are with women younger than their daughters and are still enjoying each other after a the goofy honeymoon stage. I know of only one couple that enjoy each other. It happens but I've got better things to do than deal with very young women.

Russia has never been a winner, at least the people have never been. Its a crappy gas station with a nasty manager and nukes who has to suck up to lowlifes to keep alive. You Euros cut him off yet or are you still fueling his war machine.?

From the one photo of the tree trunk, this looks like an accurate pest assessment. There is not a lot you can do about advanced plant pest and disease conditions of any kind. Just like with human health, preventive wellness program is the key. In our small hobby farm in Chiang Mai with one rai/55 mango trees, this stem borer was prevalent. It wasn't an aggressive tree killer, the beetle-borers don't form extensive galleries that cut off sap flow like some other bark beetles that I deal with. But I did implement a successful monthly routine with application of a preventive insectide barrier. Pyrethroids are my chemistry of choice for bark beetle prevention (permethrin, bifenthrin, cypermethrin). I used Permethrin 10% which was available at that time from a local MaeJo ag shop. But the highly available household insecticide/termiticide Chaindrite Stedfast 30 SC with bifenthrin will have the longest residual activity. You may be able to get three or four months. The pyrethroid solution is absorbed by the tree bark and provides a barrier for borer entry. It will also help to prevent termite activity/mud-tubes on the tree trunk. For this specific application, I would double the normal rate of 30ml/liter, to 60. Mix in a small handheld sprayer and spray to wet the lower tree trunk until the point of run-off. Spray when there is a mimimun of 4 hours dry period from rain or sprinklers. This is not a foliar canopy spray, just the lower stem. The other photos of the entire young tree show a relatively healthy foliar canopy. There is some lower foliage with fungal leaf spot, anthracnose, and/or insect pest holes. Prune that out and provide better nutrition with complete organic fertilizer, soil surface mulching or cover cropping, and good water management during the dry season. I hope you didn't remove the tree for these superficial factors. Sorry I only look at this forum once a month or so now.

Ill let ya know after all the bodies are found and all the reports are in.

How nice. So 2 main political parties.

Tell that to Putin. Looking as he's the ultimate winner.

Still here typing rather than on the front line of Ukraine shooting.. awe cowardy cowardy custard... all fingers and no balls Chicken coward

Absolutely not, from Google AI In 1939, Lviv (also known as Lwów) was a multicultural city with a population of around 312,231. The largest ethnic group was Polish, constituting slightly over 50% (157,490 people), followed by Jews at about 32% (99,595 people), and Ukrainians at 16% (49,747 people). Of course, that was before the Ukrainians helped murder the Jews.

Which part of my post do you disagree with and on what factual basis?

Thoughts and prayers.

First, it was said in the same conversation that China would not want Ukraine to lose and surrender their country either, so it seems their take is more or less that a stalement, or a peace deal with today's frozen borders, would be in China's interest. Secondly, there are no evidence of China sending weapons to Russia. They have supported them with technology, chips and help in that regard, but as far as I know, no evidence of sending weapons. China has too much to lose to do that, since they depend heavily on trade with western countries. If there was any evidence, China would most probably be hit with sanctions from EU, and some additional countries.

Exactly. Winning us. Losers them.
