This will be a home for all things related to the cultivation of cannabis. The preferred focus here will be organic and sustainable growing methods, but any cannabis growers or growers-to-be are welcome!

The moderator and community creator here is in a legal cannabis state. It is therefore assumed that everyone sharing photos and info about their grows is also doing so legally. If you're not, then keep that to yourself. Any mention of actively conducting a cannabis grow illegally will be removed. This is to protect our instance admin, and will be a zero-tolerance policy.

Happy growing!

She was safely relocated to some sagebrush afterwards. But definitely a bit of a scare having my fingers so close.

Sorry for the poor quality pic - I was trying to be quick about it, as I'm sure you all would understand

Is just moving it normal?

My instinct would be to stomp that fucker out

Yea? I mean, there's really no reason to kill her. She's part of the ecosystem here.

I live on a farm and sometimes you kinda have to kill things... I really try to avoid that at all costs tho. Relocation is always preferable.

Good for you! Relocating is always preferable to killing. We love in their ecosystem too and should try to coexist when possible.

I'm a big believer in letting our insect friends survive.... outside

Oh for sure!

I love all the critters here, including the scary, venomous ones. But also, bugs that eat other bugs are like my coworkers here lol.

[–] jam12705@lemmy.nexus 4 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Me and the spiders have an agreement too 😉 its nice to be able to keep my hands clean while they take care of the wet work around our house. Especially when you live in the woods like we do, all kinds of critters out here.

Indeed the right philosophy to take if we are to consider ourselves civilised.

I've found black windows 2 times, both times did not end well for the arachnid. I live in the city though.

I try to relocate bugs whenever I can.

Except the brown recluses I find occasionally. They're kill on sight. I know that 99% of the time I'll be able to move them no problem, but I ain't risking it.
