    1st time putting in-ground; Question-

    Yeah, I’m in FB- I think you folks get more wind-chill than us farther North, for whatever reason. I’d be down for a bean trade or even to just send you some. Working on some autos (i crossed a BananaKush Auto w/ BlueberryOG Photo, and have seeds plus some sprouted) as a Winter-Spring option...

    For anyone out there who wants to hear what it’s like to have non-advertisement-funded radio in the heart of the Emerald-Triangle Redwoods, please check out KMUD.org They are radio-with-Soul, meaning no monied-interests affect their programming, and their music is diverse, from folk, to reggae...

    1st time putting in-ground; Question-

    Haha, KMUD is my fav, and I’m 90.3, FB. Yeah, inland and higher elevation is where all the famous “NorCal/Emerald Tri” weed is grown. I’ve started breeding a couple strains that are said to be pretty mold-resistant. Namely- Durban Poison and Kwazulu (which, the latter, apparently NOBODY...

    1st time putting in-ground; Question-

    Thanks, 707. Hey, if you want a cut or a few, I’m happy to give them. DM if you do. I’m still thinking of doing some lower-branch pruning (which I’d use for clones) then cover wound with something helpful. I’ve seen on cannabis, tomatoes, and peppers how it can really help to prevent soil...

    1st time putting in-ground; Question-

    I fert with a homemade “fish-beer”; fish seems to be an active ingredient in some organic pest-control/fungicides, and I imagine it’s helping to keep the gophers away. I’ve been spraying with rosemary water (that’s steeped for days in the sun) mixed with half&half, and a little baking soda, as...

    California Gubernatorial Recall Election

    A quarter BILLION dollars and Newsom would be up in a election next year anyways. Goddamn sore-loser, money-wasting Republican Establishment. Conservative? I think not.

    California Gubernatorial Recall Election

    Vote NO, BUT- also make sure to mark a candidate (not Republican, please!) that you’d choose if Newsom does get recalled.

    1st time putting in-ground; Question-

    Thanks for the suggestions, all. I’m going to check the Farmer’s Almanac but I feel it will probably be a so-called “Indian Summer” and warm through September. ‘Round here we call August “Fog-ust” and it usually brightens up in September, but also, there is a lot of moisture and dew in the...

    1st time putting in-ground; Question-

    Northern Cali, near coast (shoutout if you recognize where/who I am), and it’s my second summer growing (though I’ve had multiple harvests), and it’s my first time actually putting a plant in the ground. I am torn on whether I should prune this beauty up or not, and if/how much I should...

    Found this while looking into Castor Oil. CA Pesticide Chart

    The tricky thing is- you want some fungal action because it spurs the development of terpenes which are another weapon the plant uses to combat infection. Think of them like you would turpentine, a volatile organic compound (VOC) that acts as a solvent, and is made from pine tree “terpenes”...

    Found this while looking into Castor Oil. CA Pesticide Chart

    Great advice, m’friend. Sesame oil is listed as the first ingredient in this product “Organicide” I use during veg. It’s other ingredient is some kind of fish emulsion, so not going to use even in early flower. May mix some sesame oil with rosemary tea, which I use with good results against...

    Found this while looking into Castor Oil. CA Pesticide Chart

    Haha, that’s funny because I noticed “Ricinium(?)” in it’s latin name and made that mental connection. I’ll research whether it’s systemic; see if it spreads throughout the plant even if applied in a localized, topical manner.

    Found this while looking into Castor Oil. CA Pesticide Chart

    Yeah, that’s my only concern. That’s why I may test as a topical on a little runt I’m just letting go. It was monster cropped and so has some revegged flower and has been shown prone to pm, which I’ve tested various solutions on; good experimental plant. Also, if you read up on castor oil and...

    Found this while looking into Castor Oil. CA Pesticide Chart

    https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=161610 I found an old bottle of fungicide for topical human use, and was curious about it’s active ingredient, undecylenic acid. I had tried some on a little athlete’s toe, and found it worked great after one application. So I discovered it’s...

    KNF and IMO "Indigenous Microorganisms"

    Didn’t mean to get you all in a tizzy there, bud. You’re full of assumptions. I made one assumption on JADAM based on their mission statement and the meaning of JADAM as an acronym. Read the last bit of their mission statement- https://www.jadam.us/ That’s all I have to say to you.

    KNF and IMO "Indigenous Microorganisms"

    I’m down with it if it’s made with easily degradable plastic. Saving/holding water is absolutely a good thing- I personally prefer cover cropping or a good leafy top-layer, but I recognize that home-scale is different than production in many ways. I’m just already disgusted at the amount of...

    KNF and IMO "Indigenous Microorganisms"

    I finally just looked up JADAM, and being a nitpicky (when it comes to people making great claims) kind-of-person, I want to ask- Does anybody else think it’s not agreeable for someone who seems to be claiming responsible land-stewardship, to be using what looks like plastic weed-block tarping...

    Does Anyone Just Use Peat Moss to Grow In?

    I’d recommend using small-grade pumice over perlite. It doesn’t float to the top and is less likely to become airborne and get in your lungs when mixing, or to irritate your skin.

    Open Outdoor Auto Thread

    Just went through my pics and realize I only really took one pic of my cross from a BananaKush Auto Fem and a BlueberryOG Reg Male. I stuck a seed in a hundred gallon clothpot where I had 3 regulars, figuring I’d just see what happened, and move if space got tight. Glad I did. It carried the...

    This year's grow

    One nice thing about cannabis is that most strains are fairly light drinkers (depending on medium of course, among other things). I live in NorCal and it bugs me that small-scale cannabis growers are getting flack because we are in a drought, yet all the vineyards just casually whistle and look...
