    giving defoliation during flower a try

    I just cleaned up the bottom of my plants an organic in soil grow. We had a lot of rain and I wanted to get up into the plant and make sure everything was drying out. Everything is looking good for now, but my plants are so dense that I am a little concerned about mold or mildew. This is the...

    The question is NOT ... " will the rain hurt the rhubarb?" The question is "will the rain hurt the Pot". Turns out it will, or at least mess it up a little. We were not quite quick enough with the greenhouse project and the girls got soaked. The tops are so heavy in flower that a bunch of them...

    The greenhouse project is moving along. The framework is up and the plastic arrived today. The plants look fantastic but we had to take the hops down because they were full of aphids up high. It is disappointing but there don't seem to be any problems with the girls. So far so good. Here are a...

    I ordered my hops rizomes from Nikobrew in WA state. My only choice is a WA state supplier because of import restrictions. I ordered 18 rizomes and only 10 sprouted but Nikobrew refunded me for the ones that did not sprout. Otherwise, except for this late season aphid infestation the plants are...

    I found aphids on my hops plants when I went to harvest them today. It isn't bad and the cones seem fine. I picked two giant laundry baskets full so far and I am just getting started with the hops harvest. The hops are in the same yard as the girls so I mixed up some neem and gave them a little...

    I am getting ready to build a greenhouse around my girls, it looks like the Northern Lights is going to be really late. Out of my 16 plants only one looks like it is anywhere near ready. The weather is great right now but up in our neck of the woods it can turn cold anytime now, so I want to be...

    This is my first outdoor grow and it is getting to be stress time. The weather is getting colder and the girls are just getting started. My Northern Lights girlies haven't even started yet. We rigged up some curtians for our almost freezing night last week, but I think we may have to build a...

    Outdoor NW grow....geezer grow

    Thanks for the info and encouragement. This is the plan.... I am putting up curtians made of landscaping cloth that I will pull at night. I have access to electricity and I can put some heaters in if I need to. We live in an area of low humidity and cool nights so the plants have already endured...

    Outdoor NW grow....geezer grow

    My first outdoor grow is coming into flower. That is everything but my Northern Lights. Question is how to protect it if the weather turns cold before I can Harvest. Any advice would be helpful. Completely legal, organic, medical grow in soil.
