I started them right around the first of the year in January. They flowered really quick. I imagine it's because as soon as they came up the days were getting shorter (totally outside from seed) and they quickly went into flower mode. I'm planning to cut the top bud soon, next week, and...

I'm looking for things to plant to provide cover for my other plants. My main concern is my landlord, who is kind of eccentric and prone to pop in and ask random questions. I've found the best way to shut him up is just give him a bunch of random answers. Epazote, Yerba Buena, Chili Peppers, all...

I'm in the Yucatan Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea. Buena vida!

Here are some updated pics. The roots of the two plants were too intertwined to seperate so I put them both in a 5 gal. bucket. The larger fan leaves got attacked by pests pretty bad and were yellowed. I've been spraying it with tobacco tea and I've clipped the pesty yellow fan leaves. The new...

OK, I've found the recipe for "tobacco-tea" in the forum. I'll try that. Please pardon my lazy post. I'll keep looking for the Neem. I need a natural bug juice for my ankles, the skeeters love my feet.

I've looked here in Mexico for the Neem Oil and I can't seem to find it. it may take a while, or I'll have to import it from the States. in the meantime I need to kill these pests. A friend is saving her cig butts for me, she says putting them in water and spraying that on the plants will help...

I found a package of epazote (eep-ah-so-tay) herb seeds here in Mexico and the picture on the package looked a lot like my plants, so I bought it to add to my garden to provide cover. I looked it up on Wikepedia and the nickname is "skunk herb" for it's pungent odor. It's used for cooking and...

Does anybody know what the white stuff on the leaves is? Wherever there is white on the top there are tiny black dots on the underside. I suspect something quite insidious. I'm going to transplant these into 5 gal buckets to give the roots more room. Thnx.

This is my first grow on the roof of my house in Mexico. These were from seeds from a nice mild bag that I had. I assume it was just some local weed. These plants are six weeks old and they started to bud after 4 weeks. When they started to bud they stopped growing and I haven't seen much...

Yes it's a month old. This is just your standard run-of-the-mill Mexican puffing weed. I think it's just hardy and aggressive in it's desire to pollinate. That's why it's so cheap here, grows like weeds. I'll be on the lookout for good seeds. Now I'm just getting my feet wet. I also started an...

I've just started growing on my roof in Mexico. I have three plants started from nothing special seeds. Just to get the hang of it. I have three plants and the one in the middle looks radically different, not many leaves and many small budlets (?). Are these the dreaded pollen balls of a male...
