hey Fres.F and Djj quick organic fert. question... >>>
do you have to wait to use that chicken shit the following season, does it need to compost some to cool? Interested in knowing how it's prepared... guessing a tea slurry is made.


Of course Neem, but great reminder to stay on top of the BT sprays through bloom people.

your girls are looking beautiful! I'm thinking about throwing some veggies out too lol I was thinking jalapeños onions and tomato lol but I got a question for you about the bt about how often do you spray and do you spray up to harvest? I had a very bad experience with these little monsters last year and don't wanna look another plant to them.

I clean the chicken coup weekly & throw it on top of my pots all winter, let it compost right on the spot. I quit throwing it on in late spring, give it a month or 2 before I mix it in & plant.....
P.S. Did I mention fresh eggs every day?.....

Heck Yes! my buddy has chickens w multi-colored eggs; blue green pink browns... (no golden ones ;) and they're all great. just haven't talked him into collecting the fertilizer yet.

Thanks for the chick fert insight. Maybe I'll attempt chickens myself one day as I have the land for it, but it sounds like plenty more-work though..

Not really much work. Chickens are fairly low maintenance, I'm just a bit of a clean freak about my food, so I keep their house really clean. Throw them a little scratch & make sure they have water, and leave them to free roam. Or chickens are like little yard gnomes popping up almost anyplace. They see themselves back home at night & I just lock their door at night to keep predators out. They are great to have around the yard and & wouldn't give 2 cents for any bugs chances! lol

Ha.. the imagery of "little yard gnomes" running around sounds like a blast.

I'd have to reconcile the idea of predatory critters and what a threat they can be in my rural forested/wet land area -Before- I determined a suitable free range area. My buddy has had his entire stock o chickens wiped out (in the daytime, maybe dusk) before he had them tucked away. I'm not thrilled about the worst-case-scenario w that subject. Although it sounds like a lot of upside hosting chickens.
thanks again for the encouragement!!


FresnoF- it looks like you have mega potential here. Peace

Thanks bro. I spray until the last 2 weeks before harvest. Also I have some Jalepenos, Banana Peppers and Fresno Chili Peppers growing right now. As well as a few Sun Sugar Tomatoes and I believe Early Girl Tomatoes. The wife picked them out. I have 2 varieties of squash, Armenian Cukes , a cantaloupe plant and lots of regular cukes.. Also have some peas that got off to a bad start. Hopefully they bounce back. This year I rooted my first cutting ever. It was a Spearmint cutting. It wasn't too hard seeding as how they root theirselves lol. It's growing in dappled shade near the spigot in my backyard. Will be pretty refreshing to have a little spearmint bush to take away from the stinky smell when bubbling my guano teas lol

@abe supercro Thank you. I should have a good few harvests this year now that I know how these plants work and have got mostly everything ready for them. Only thing I need is more soil. Hopefully all goes well this season and I could avoid rippers and pigs. More so the pigs. I got something for the rippers. And it is a very good idea to let the chicken crap compost. Fresh chicken poop is very high in Nitrogen and will fry plants with ease.

@PurpleZombie Thank you. I ran into a N deficiency early on, but I got that sorted out. Now they ladies are just blowin up. Even though they are gonna be flowered with a short veg time they should still pull a good amount of bud overall. I love Kelloggs PP it works great.

@4Life2style0 Thanks bro. And I might save some pollen if I get a Seahash male. I have seen what the end product of Seahash is and it looks real good definitely a strain I would like to keep around. If I get some other males from different strains I might also harvest their pollen and pollinate a few females of those same strains to keep an extra seed stock for friends and family members who might be in need of some. Never can have too many seeds imo. My neighbors have lemon trees. I love to drink lemon and cucumber water in place of soda. Way more hydrating and refreshing.


Stay up everybody. I should have the bagseeds in 3 gallon pots and flowering here in the next couple weeks. Hopefully they are as good as the bud they came from. I will keep you all posted.

So many amendments.....all I use is kelloggs,(soil) Alaskan fish Fert (through out veg & intermediately the first phases of flowering) that's it.... Nothing after the first phase of flower is over...only water at that point til harvest...praying mantis for organic pest control and I'm all good.

How often would you spray once a week?

Yeah Once a week. I like alternate with neem oil. Also if you have grasshoppers a good trick is when you see one, spray it down with a solution of 4 oz molasses to one quart of water. It clogs the grasshoppers pores and it suffocates and dies. I have tried it before. It just froze on one of my tomato plants and crisped in the sun lol. Also I think 3 tablespoons of cayenne pepper to 1 gallon of water will keep them from chowing on your veggies and pot. Hope this helps brotha.

I really like to feed my soil. And I have noticed my plants don't mind the heat so much when I feed them with Dyna Gro Protekt. My plants seem to love the guano teas. I don't amend my soil. I just usually top dress with the guano tea left overs and that seems to do the trick. Also, I foliar feed every morning. That is the main reason I bought the Maxsea. More readily available nutes than the Fish Ferts.
