    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    This treatment is specific to pests that can destroy a pot garden in a few days, left unaddressed. Bt is considered an organic remedy. Only companies like Monsanto abuse its use. I gardened organically for thirty years and understand your reservations, BUT these caterpillars affect a garden like...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Bt is bacillus thurengiensis. It kills the caterpillars of all moths and butterflies. Cannabis attracts certain butterflies which lay eggs on the plants. Don't spray this bacterium on any plants but those you want to prevent caterpillar on. Tomatoes, peppers and Cannabis each attract 'pillars.

    Haze's 2014 outdoor grow

    If not for your critter digging, I'd suggest filling the pot with half composted grass clippings. Holds moisture and helps keep the soil cool. If I ever figure out how to upload pics(my puter is dying a slow death) ,You'd see I mulch most things with grass clippings. I'm talking about window...

    Haze's 2014 outdoor grow

    Things look happy! I'd suggest you get a grow book. Jorge Cervantes does a good job of explaining things. I'm not a big fan of rocks in my soil. May I suggest getting some steel screen and cutting it to fit loosely around the stalk and fitting snugly inside the pot? If you intend to keep them in...

    Is this a marijuana plant?? PLZ HELP

    There are a couple plants in my area whose leaves look much like Cannabis but whose growth habit becomes very different. The fact that the second node has only single bladed leaves says it isn't pot. Had I seen this before the second set of pictures, I would have said it was. I'm guessing the OP...

    Outdoor Grow 2014

    A friend has a city of gophers on his and the surrounding properties. He uses 1/2" mesh cage wire in a 3' cube, open on top for each of his 16 plants. Last year he had several 14 footers. His large vegetable garden is lined with the same. BTW, that avatar looks a LOT like a friend from 50 years...

    Your plants in veg look good! The bud shots indicate those plants will have to go through a lot, quickly to yield much.

    norcal - whens the latest you can put out to get a decent yield?

    I had problems one year. Put in three times as many plants/clones as is normal, on July 5th expecting "X". Ended up with "3X". A bunch of bushy 5 footers. The down side? A serious issue with the legal system. It all worked out, but I'll never put more plants in than the law allows(it was 6...

    Should I top yet? Plan on LSTing

    If they aren't sexed, you've got a 25% chance of two males or two females. What's left is a 50% chance of getting one female. Spread away from each other, I've never lost one of two females. The only way one might weaken the other is if the smaller plant is heavily shaded by the larger. The...

    Outdoor Grow 2014

    Yopu You've expressed a desire to avoid very large plants. My suggestion was intended to gain you a little extra buddage and help insure that a very hot day doesn't cook the roots and kill the plants. Your current set up looks perfect to me. Be sure to soak the soil around the pot at least...

    Should I top yet? Plan on LSTing

    I tried topping....once. LST is far more preferable. Do you know if they are female yet? Once you DO know, lean the top of each plant away from the other. If they were farther apart, I'd suggest you lean them toward the North. Then GENTLY bend and tie them down until the tip is about 6 inches...

    What contributes to bud density?

    Commercial growers often use CO2 therapy, keeping CO2 levels between 900 and 1200 PPM(Parts Per Million). This REALLY increases bud density but can be expensive. The truth is, potency of one strain varies very little between environments. Density is all about 'bag appeal'.
