    I have been lucky enough to not have the need to spray anything on my plants for the last two years. This year I’m noticing some aphids on my tomatoes, so I sprayed them with warm soapy water (Dr. Bromers Castile) and some peppermint oil. Hopefully I can keep them in check. Just as a...

    I installed an in-line dechlorinator on my garden hose, says it takes out 98% of all Chlorine and Chlorimine (sp) I’ve been trying hard to go the living soil route, as all my raised beds just sit on top of the ground and have no bottom. I was adding powdered Vit C to eliminate the Chlorine but...

    It’s not healed up yet, the plant doesn’t seem stressed, beautiful green color. We had more windy days which didn’t help. I tied more branches to each other. im going to snip the zip ties off for a couple days because it’s supposed to be windless and hot here. So I guess the news is not bad...

    yeah. The zip ties were kind of an extra precaution. I think I’ll give the zip ties a week or two then cut them off and replace them if needed.

    So far so good. It was a major split, that’s for sure. Hopefully no disease finds its way in, going to be really careful watering, etc for the next few weeks! Not sure how long to wait until I unwrap this one ? Any ideas?

    One of the pitfalls of living in the gorge. Got a seriously windy day before I had a chance to support my plants. This one split right down the middle. Used a rubber plant support film, a little gorilla glue and some zip ties.

    I only saved the popcorn buds and trim for myself to make topicals and edibles. But my buddy that I gave the lb of top shelf buds to said it was a very potent, uplifting high. I hung for 4 days, first cure was in 30 gallon totes for 3 weeks. Then the final trim and in to gallon glass jars for 3...

    Mine don’t seem to mind, growing like crazy. Though I am 60 miles east of PDX. We’re getting rain but not like the metro area.

    To Top or Not to Top ?

    These plants have been topped twice. I lollipop and thin out the inside of the plants. They’re growing vigorously and I don’t really have any height restrictions other than the the cover I put over them in Sept. so about 8-10 feet is my max. They are Apple Blossom, Blueberry Muffin and Pistachio.

    If you do that, transition them into direct sunlight, going from any man made light source to intense sunlight in August will result in sunburn and set your plants back. You might consider popping a few feminized seeds in July and letting those go. Start them in 16oz Dixie cups, repot into...

    Pretty much. They’re start to show around second week of August depending on the strain. You’d probably be safe starting a couple weeks earlier. You can also find ready to flower teens sometimes on craigslist.

    Is it too early to put vegging plant outside?

    . I’m northern Oregon at 45N we’re around 15 hours now. I start slowly cutting back my supplemental lighting a month or so before I plant outdoors after May 15th. May not be necessary but common sense tells me at the possibility of triggering flowering and then revegging would be more likely...

    First Outdoor Grow (BC, Canada) - Looking for strain suggestions

    ahh. You’re doing autos. I’ve only tried autos once and I wasn’t very successful, hope you do better. I put in the ground last weekend.. I don’t worry about rain until mid-late Sept and put up a pvc with greenhouse plastic over them to finish them off without getting rained on. We’re usually...

    And a minimum of 2 harvests if you can do some supplemental lighting to get started. I ran a light Dep for several years, some of the best weed I’ve grown.

    You’re kinda late in the game to be looking for seeds now. You may want to look locally for clones. If you’re set on seeds Hembra Genetics got me my seeds in the same week I ordered them! Fast finishers Ive worked with. Northern Lights Blueberry Muffin Oregon Diesel Amnesia Hashplant
