    first grow the doctor by green house seeds:L help needed

    you guys are over thinking it way too much. I ielieve the correct question was being asked earlier when stated "HOW MUCH DO YOU WATER?" as in how many cups or gallon of water do you put into the soil when you water. Even if you are over watering it should perk up before it dries back out. You...

    dead lizard and smart pot

    I didn't find any mold on the lizard or on the top mulch but I took a pretty big scoop out when I removed him. I didn't notice anything strange I immediately topped with fresh vermicomp. When I take it out tonight to cut and clone I'll take a closer investigation. Just worried about the state of...

    dead lizard and smart pot

    Honestly, I like lizards and there are several in my grow shed. My outside garden is so dense with lizards my daughter doesn't like going through the middle because of the jumping lizards. They're nice little predators to have around, but never calculated that one would think my smart pot would...

    dead lizard and smart pot

    Hello my name is Johnny, and I have an unusual question. I live in a swampy tropical climate, and have an indoor grow. Past couple weeks have been prime climates for my inside grow. The day before yesterday I went to water my plants. I have 3, and all of them looked slightly wilted. I watered...

    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    Quick question on the neem...... I have Natural Guard Neem and Bonide neem. I bought them both at a nursery that was going out of business and they were dirt cheap. The Natural Guard Neem is 30% pyrethrum and 70% clarified hydrophobic neem extract. (The Bonide is for tomatoes and roses out...

    crab meal vs. oyster shell

    Also another aspect to keep in mind is break down time. I am not 100% but I am pretty sure their mineral content is close to the same (shrimp and crab), but the big difference would be break down time. The shrimp will be a little more fast acting and be a quicker punch to the soil, crab meal is...

    crab meal vs. oyster shell

    It depends on what you're trying to accomplish with each. I ended up employing both in my grow. I used crab as an amendment and top dress for NPK/chitin, and I used oyster shell/coral calcium as an amendment for calcium/liming properties and it's the size of kitty litter with just as long as a...

    crab meal vs. oyster shell

    Thank you very helpful info here......I top dress at transplant with a product called "Peggy Green Natural and Organic Garden Minerals" .... I actually bought it for my tomatoes,okra, and eggplants, but it made such a NOTICEABLE difference between the ones that got and the ones that didn't I...

    crab meal vs. oyster shell

    Could you explain this part a little further?? ....The reason I asked this question was because I was going to try and make a soil without the use of LIME. I started looking up different sources of cal-carb and crab meal was listed, though not molecularly the same as Lime. I also found some...

    Harvesting CATERPILLARS!

    haha it's burt reynolds in all his glory. Kind of an inside joke. Instead of 420 my friends, fiance and I celebrate "BURT REYNOLDS DAY" and make edibles and hash cigarettes and ride horses all day long.

    Harvesting CATERPILLARS!

    Thank you very much, I have not tried spinosad yet, and I am close to another 12/12 switch and see moths hovering the halide. The caterpillars turned out to be bud worms. With weekly treatments of protekt and neem/pyrethrum bugs have not been an issue but they are hovering. I also caught a...

    Harvesting CATERPILLARS!

    I know it sounds shitty......but I am allergic to most beers. I do not like to mess with them too much. I had my fiance do the beer in the bowl trick out front and it did work for a couple days. It trapped a few slugs, I don't think it made a dent in the population though. It is fun to think...

    Harvesting CATERPILLARS!

    Well I'm back with some results. The fact that it took so long shows that some of my harvest was successful. When I brought in the two plants that were bug ravaged I only found one more caterpillar beyond the original scare that brought in a dozen bugs. I thankfully saved them in little...

    Harvesting CATERPILLARS!

    That is EXACTLY what the worms look like. All about the same size, two inches. They also blend so well into the buds. I put one of the plants in the dark last night and only found one caterpillar on either of the plants last night. My 3rd biggest bud on the plant has finally worn the stem down...

    Harvesting CATERPILLARS!

    I have never heard of water curing. Looked into it a little and it sounds EXTREMELY different from what I am use to, and kind of scares me. Right now I can channel all of my hate towards the crawling critters. I would not be so forgiving if I blundered and rendered them useless. What also...

    Harvesting CATERPILLARS!

    These plants are pretty big. Close to the 3 feet tall, and now they are very weak and falling apart. I would be afraid to submerge them in water. I was thinking a rinse with RO water out of a spray bottle might have enough intensity to get them off. The really degraded ones are going into the...

    Harvesting CATERPILLARS!

    Thanks guys. I have really gone through the two remaining plants (I already harvested four others thankfully without caterpillar problems) and can't find any remaining. That's not to say they are not there in hiding. I usually let them get two days of dark and then hang for 6 days then trim...

    Caterpillars Under the Harvest Moon.

    Hello everyone, I have two plants under 500W HPS. They're both in 5 gallon coco/peat homemade amended soil. One of the plants is due to be put into dark tomorrow and the other has about a week left on it. The problem is CATERPILLARS! I had several plants and was letting the last two...
