What’s up, guys. I’m battling the one-two punch of caterpillars and botrytus here in near-coastal Northern California. So far it’s been a loosing battle despite weekly sprays of BT and Doctor Zymes. I already had to scrap my indicas and my sativa-dom hybrids that were growing big/dense buds. I...

What’s up, guys? I figured I might as well start a grow log for this year’s outdoor garden. I’m running three different strains from Ace Seeds this year: two Golden Tiger in front (long flowering sativa), two Panama x Bangi Haze in the middle (shorter flowering sativa), and two Pakistani...

What’s up, everyone? I’m growing 6 plants from feminized Ace seeds this outdoor season. They germinated about 3-4 weeks ago, and now they are all growing happily in their 1-gal pots. I’m hoping to skip any additional transplants and move them straight into their “forever homes”, which are...

What’s up, guys? Looking for some opinions…. I’m a guy who “religiously” amends and reuses my soil. But… I dealt with some late-season bud rot in my (small…) outdoor grow last year. What do you all think about amending, “cooking”, and reusing this same soil for 2022 outdoor? On one hand it’s...

Hey guys. I’m dealing with a new situation I haven’t really messed with yet… My makeshift rain shelter didn’t help much during this last big storm that rolled through California. My plants got soaked, and now I’m trying to decipher whether I have a mold issue or not. I have not seen ANY...

Hey, everyone. I’ve never grown an auto, but I’m intrigued - mostly just because I love growing cannabis and growing some autos would allow me to have an outdoor garden going for more of the year (without messing with supplemental lighting pr light dep). I’m kindof picky about the quality of...

What’s up, everyone? My back is pretty jacked… I can carefully lift and move heavy things when needed, but for some reason repetitive standing and squatting tasks like feeding my plants really hurt after a while. My garden is small, so right now feeding it involves prepping a couple/few five...

What’s up, everyone. I’m just doing a little brainstorming for a future project. I’m picturing a ~5 foot by 8 foot well insulated “outbuilding” that could be run as a sealed grow room with a couple 600 watt lights. The attached picture is just one example of a shed like I’m considering...

What’s up, everyone? Let’s talk about IPM. Going along with the whole “ounce of prevention…” theme, I’d like to come up with a routine/schedule for preventative maintenance in my garden. More specifically, I’d like to come up with a short list of organic sprays and/or soil drenches that I can...

What’s up, everyone? I’ve always thought one of the neatest things about cannabis is how incredibly adaptable it is to different growing environments and gardening styles. I can’t think of a single other crop that’s produced in such a variety of different ways… Anyway, I’m hoping to focus in...

What’s up, everyone. Can anyone recommend the best pump sprayer out there for my weekly preventative sprays? I don’t need a large volume (a gallon or less should do it). I just need one that will give me a nice fine mist/fog spray and last a long time. I haven’t had great luck with the cheap...

Hey, everyone. I’m just doing a little daydreaming, plotting, and scheming for next years outdoor season here in West Sonoma County… I’d like to grow a few Sativa-dom, a few hybrids, and a few Indica-dom from seed. I don’t want to grow monsters - more like small to mid-sized plants in, say...

I had been planning to build my own small greenhouse, but a nice kit starts to sound appealing when I think about how much tinkering time I actually for the project.. Do any of you have a Grow More brand greenhouse like the one linked below...

What’s up, everyone? I figured I might as well start a grow log to document my experiments and experiences in the great outdoors (AKA my back yard). This is my first “legitimate” outdoor garden, but I’ve got a fair amount of experience with small-scale indoor organic grows (search my name and...

What’s up, everyone? I’m brainstorming ideas for a small greenhouse - say, 8x15 feet or so. I’m not going for mass production here, just some quality organic herbs for me and my family. Either 5-10 small plants or a few big ones, dependi I want something that is… 1) Relatively easy to set up...

Hey, everyone. I’m relatively experienced with small-scale indoor, but recently moved and don’t have a grow space set up yet so that’s not an option at the moment. I’m thinking I’d like to buy ~6 clones (or teens, if I can find some) and put them outdoors within the next couple/few weeks. I’ll...

What's up, guys? I'm looking to get a garden going after nearly a 1 year hiatus while I purchased a home. All my past experience has been in custom made cabinets (everything from CFLs to single 400W to dual 600W). With all the other home projects on my plate right now, I just don't have time to...

Whats up, guys? I've been MIA from the growing scene for a little over a year now, and its time to set up a new garden. Thing is, I just haven't got the time to build a custom cabinet like I've used in the past (search my name for some previous journals if you're curious... who knows if the...

What's up RIU? I'm just curious if any of you out there are playing with the "Green Rush" penny stocks? (PHOT, TRTC, MDBX, mCIG, FITX, HEMP, etc, etc, etc) There is definite money to be made if you play your cards right. These stocks frequently swing 10-15% in one direction or the other. Any...
