    For anybody thats interested in the nature/critter aspect, heres a few guest I was lucky enough to see recently Not sure what that is in the first pic but definitely cool. Some sort of bumblebee mimic fly, and a mydas fly that I saw last year almost every day I was out there in July (not sure...

    7/6 Update Lots of new growth this week and most plants are starting to get the shape and structure im looking for. Fed compost tea on the 1st, and corn + alfalfa earlier today. I try to go in and tie down anywhere I can daily (and top where necessary) and just started to clean up the bottom...

    Help new to this

    Looks like a healthy girl to me, seeing those hairs (coming out of a calyx at the base of a node) just means shes showing her sex and when the plant starts to flower you'll see tons of those same hairs coming out the top of each shoot. Happy growing! and definitely look into a worm bin/making...

    Super soil cooking timing from seed

    From what I understand about "cooking" SS is its a process of microbes breaking down material in the soil, and through these processes heat is given off, and if the temperature in the root zone is too hot you'll end up with stunted growth at the very least. Its through the microbes breaking down...

    I also dont plan on covering the plants until flower. Despite what some people might say about the rain I find that the plants love it and are always praying right after a storm. Washes the pollen and other things off the leaves, and I dont have to hand water as frequently. It gets concerning...

    I dont take clones for outdoor because I can never seem to time anything right lol. Im definitely cloning the mystery bagseed, strawberry eclair and maybe 1 or two more for mothers. Im going to give grafting a shot since im super limited on space indoors and would like to save the genetics that...

    2020 New England Outdoor Organic Grow

    6/29 Update Since last update (1 week) - fed corn sprout tea and foliar sprayed neem seed meal. I had some concerns about the structure of the plants as it seems they initially grew more horizontal than out like the bush shape I was hoping for. But as new shoots are popping up the shape is...

    Damn PM, im gonna start foliar spraying greencure every 2 weeks until week 2-3 of flower to try to prevent as much as I can. I would say no, if you grow healthy plants with healthy immune systems (And obviously genetics play a big part) you already have an upper hand against any fungal/insect...

    Probably leaf hoppers give them a search up, I have leaves on every plant here and there with some sort of leaf hopper damage but they usually chew and screw. Not terribly destructive but definitely a nuisance.

    Hasnt really crossed my mind other than dreaming about that greenhouse using light dep. I might give it a try with the 24k gold since its a late October strain and easily movable in the 7gal pot, I guess I could just throw it in the shed on 12/12 cycle. This season ill be taking very few clones...

    2020 New England Outdoor Organic Grow

    It was tough to do, but reality is reality at the end of the day. I was struggling in the battle against budworms, rot, and PM (in most of the garden) and trying to be on top of that plant just to salvage a small percentage just didnt make sense. Genetics 100% have the most impact in my...

    Garden looking good!! You'll have some monsters in those 45gals by the fall. Hopefully the freeze holds off, had a massive Lemon OG kush plant that I ended up throwing out because of rot she was definitely 1+lbs and going to finish in mid November, which im sure you know doesnt work out so well...

    No training was done until they got topped on the first. I dont have any specific reasoning why I waited that long to top, I actually wish I had topped them on the day of transplant or even before. They exploded in height and grew less uniform than id like, the strawberry cough had extremely...
