    Day 107, 7/17 94, clear, finally. 18 gallons this evening. Veg fert to most recently planted Rishi. A pole used to elevate top shade cloth in middle fell and cracked a large branch on a Rishi. No wilting, seems fine and will leave it where it is laying as it is close to where it was tied down...

They are in a deep planter that is filled with 60 cubic ft. of Happy Frog, ewc, Ancient Forest, and a little Ocean Forest. fresh2, using tubes at the bottom is a good idea. Some kind...

    make a room with foil faced foam board?

    I plan on using foam board this winter. My only concern is off gassing but unless I hear about it being a problem, it's a go. The best is polyisosyanurate but it's very expensive. I built r-20 garage doors with them once. You can get cheap boarding at Home Despot in different thicknesses and...

    Hey old farts..how many over 50 yrs?

    56 here, started smoking at 15. We had really good weed up on the Philly Main Line. Columbian, Jamaican, hash oil, Thai sticks (strongest stuff I've ever smoked by far!). We had a dealer that sold hash that was shipped from India as the hard back part of books. If we bought enough he would give...

    How hot is too hot for direct sunlight?

    It depends a lot on the strain, also. Mandala seeds supposedly can flower in 120 degrees. My Mandalas, Rishi Kush and Krystallica, have shown no stress at 108 so far and grew about 1 1/2" a day during that temp. Soil temps are important also. For instance, if it's 115 and your plants are hardy...

    Not even close! WyoGrow, in homage to your birthday, this morning I fertilized a few plants (tomatoe,potted Rishi, and a penta) with 60 parts water/1 part urine, peepeems of 200. To do it again I would want to see an analysis. Plus I have a high peeH of about 7.0 due to my diet. Intentionally...

    Thanks, I'm sure you mean well and are knowledgable but perhaps you missed parts of my scintillating stay up all night thread. I have two to four inches of perlite for an excellant mulch. The roots are actually on the soil surface under the perlite. Shade cloth on the sides and a removable top...
