After a freak mid september frost melted down all the soybean fields, the powder mildew has gone crazy around here. The gg4 couldn’t handle it and got tossed in the compost. Gg4 has really weak connections where the branches join the main stalk, it is surprising how easy they break. The gt x...

A bucket of fish cleaning scrap buried well under the rootball really gets a plant growing. What variety is the plant in your other thread? Is it potent and long lasting? Organically grown tropical african sativa (or hash made from it) would be very popular here.

It will end up being a few inches higher than the ground around it because of the added material. We get lots of rain and the clay still cracks in the heat. Last rain was 3.75” here. Dirt augers have much heavier duty gearsets than ice augers. Only mentioning because I know how thick the ice...

To plant into clay try this: Dig straight down until you hit moisture. Fill up with broken clay chunks and manure. Set the plant on top. That’s your shit wick. Break up a six foot diameter circle about one foot deep around the hole. Break the clay into chunks and mix in manure, peat moss...

I’m at 42, interesting post. I noticed buds forming on a few of mine two days ago. A neighbour asked me to look at a plant that was clawing and it was loosing moisture due to a split stem from the last wind. A “Y” where it had been topped once. I’ve got cannabis aphids arriving from...

This is a gorilla glue #4 s1 untopped, unfimmed, planted in the ground. Its about 8’. I sprinkled a bit of cow manure around as a topdress, maybe a half of a wheelbarrow load. A good comparison of how they grow to the size and the shape of the pot. Manure, potting soil, etc. all organic...

I’m certainly not saying that what you are doing is a problem. It’s your garden, and your business how much manure you use imo. Multiplied over acreage could cause serious issues though. It is possible to wreck land over the long term by adding too much manure. I’ve seen it happen. It’s the...

Just a couple of thoughts, I am at a similar latitude and climate but in Canada. Farms generally try to contain their nutrients. Using 400 gallons of manure per plant may not be realistic for long term land management. P and K builds up, and so do toxins and salts. Then it leaches...

I ran some tests on the aphids to get them off of cuttings. They seem to be resistant to chemicals. Mosquito coils with synthetic pyrethrins would not kill them even with multiple fumigations. Rosemary essential oil and soap was not effective either, and it causes spider mites to die on...

The border is closed unless you fly or need to cross for work. Remember when Tweed was selling out the back door and it was showing up in New York State? Guys from New York State were on here telling us how disgusting and expensive the Tweed weed was lol. Nobody was surprised.

The bean counters see an opportunity to reduce the per gram cost from 84 cents to 4. They will gladly extract “rec market” concentrates from compost because let’s face it, all they give a fuck about is the money. They could have a quality product outdoors, if they wanted to. Quality is...

If it’s anything like Canada alot of the investors and directors will be retired politicians, retired cops, federal worker’s union pension fund, etc. It is not surprising how much has been swept under the rug already with friends like that.

Problem is you couldn’t trust them yesterday, or the day before, or tomorrow, or ever for that matter. They are politicians and they work for us. There is no authority implied. I heard the crown corp “Canada Post” moves most of the produce these days. The licensed producers have already shown...

They are in the environment now. You could wipe them out with chemicals but they will be back.

I wonder why Health Canada stopped disclosing sales in September 2019? It does a fantastic job of making this this graph look better to investors when they leave out key information like that. And why the hell can you pay to grow a field full of pot? Either you can or you can’t. If the...

Just my thoughts on this, you have some tanks already and they are going to get bigger. Falling into a treatment regime just means extra work. I would never pay for bugs, but it makes sense if they are absent from your environment. Did you know, that chemical fertilizers and specifically...

Hose them off, or use a spray bottle. Don’t spray shit on your leaves if its sunny. Find a couple lady bugs in your yard and toss them on the plants. I’m just monitoring the situation I think nature will sort it.

The aphids reproduce female clones, and can double in population every 1.2 hours in this heat.

These guys (ladybug larvae) are just going to town on my plants right now. Let nature take its course. A couple drops each of rosemary oil and dishsoap in water will kill them, so will an epsom salt/water mixture.
