    Perfume smell in my weed

    Some strains are just not for some people. I grew out a strain called Lavender and it stunk like a spilled bottle of cheap lavender perfume. I couldn't even give it away. Whole 6 foot plant of unsmokable buds. Open the jar in a closed space and it was like being trapped in an elevator with...

    My first grow since the 80's

    If you have moths at your porch lights you have caterpillars in the buds. Heartbreak is destroying all the bud as it was infested with caterpillars and every drop of their shit form a pocket of mold that spreads and you really don't want to see what an unprotected grow can be reduced to by the...

    My first grow since the 80's

    The actual trigger for cannabis is 14.5. At 15 they veg and at 14 they flower. In practice only June and July have long enough days to hold cannabis in vegetative state.

    My first grow since the 80's

    Years of outside growing and all I really have to fight consistently is powdery mildew full time, and caterpillars starting in early August. PM can be kept in check with spraying simple high PH water once a week. 1 tablespoon of potassium or sodium bicarbonate per gallon of water will do the...

    Show us the sift

    Hashmaster 5000. A 5-gallon bucket of buds and 10 pounds of dry ice and we can rock. My original 160 micron mesh had to be finally retired after 10 years and uncounted numbers of shakes as it had to many branch poked holes for my liking. The new 220 micron gives more material with a shorter...

    Relentless Powerdy mildew

    I've been growing our favorite plant outside for about 50 years now. Powdery Mildew is a given in southern California. High PH water once a week will keep it well under control and is the best choice for Organic production as it is.... Wait for it...... Water. 1 tablespoon of Potassium...

    She was still an active presence on another site many years ago and helped me fine tune my own work. I feel fortunate to have had her teachings.

    2/3rds of an ounce of weed WASTED trying to decarb this month.

    You can decarb the same 5 grams of buds if left in direct sunlight in that same metal pie tin for all day. Decarb is always a function of time over temps. 240 F for 40 minutes uncovered is just easy to remember and one of the fastest and I hate to dick around.

    Southern Califonia getting hit by some liquid sunshine, how are you prepping?

    I'll get to take this in the San Bernadino mountains again. Bite me. 8 feet of snow in 8 days just a few months ago and I'm still clearing and repairing from that mess. I've seen what an inch of rain per hour can do on this mountain and it isn't pretty. If we get hours of it........ We did 50...

    Southern Califonia getting hit by some liquid sunshine, how are you prepping?

    I'm 90 miles away from the grow filling sandbags in preparation and all I can do is pray they don't take damage. The yard they are in is well sheltered and they have big tomato cages inside.

    Outdoor topping

    My grow is Southern California. By Aug 1st the days have shortened enough to trigger flower and most strains show sex by Aug 15th. 10 weeks to finish puts you mid to late Oct harvest for most indica and hybrids with landrace sativa strains running out past the first of the year. Depending on...

    My zucchini plants are a threat to my cannabis

    Simple high PH water applied once a week through the growing season usually is enough to control PM. Potassium Bicarbonate or sodium bicarb (baking soda) 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. PM is plant specific if i remember. The strain infecting your squash isn't cross infecting the cannabis...

    Legal growing vs stealth growing

    A bit over ten years ago I got my grow cranked up at a new location. By mid-September it was stinking like it should and the woman next door calls the cops. When they advised her another call about my legal outside grow, and SHE would be cited for it I knew the world had come full circle.

    How much thc can coconut/lecithin hold?

    Remember I work in Hash / Kief and that 5 grams in 1 tablespoon of Oil is just enough oil to wet the Kief and get it to flow in an eyedropper. It doesn't look like enough oil at first but after a few seconds it settles into a thin paste. Higher end concentrates can use even less oil but you...
