Nirvana has come through every time for me! Now if they can only bump up their genetics and THC levels, they could be a real contender. Nirvana will deliver, but not any knockout strains. Great for beginners who might fuck up and need to reorder quickly.

Venus Fly Trap scores high on all fronts except for potency. Easy to grow, 3 out of 5 (feminized) being superb yielders, strong skunky aroma, easy to manicure and just overall a beautiful looking plant, BUT I can smoke this stuff all day long without having the feeling that I need to stop...

It is thrip damage.

Damn!!! I already bought my ticket before you posted the promo code. Thanks anyways. See you there.

I'm thinking about going but I don't know if the workshop seats are all reserved. They tell you it's a first come basis as far as signing up for the two free workshop. At this point are they all filled? Is there a way you can find out since you already have a ticket? Thanks. Would be much...

Preying Mantis are the shit. I only wish they would move around more and clean up like a vacuum cleaner. Most of the time they post up in one spot and wait for bugs to come to them. If they would roam more you probably wouldn't need anything else.

I've just discovered that my fire ants are farming white aphids! That explains why only two plants had ants and the other 28 were untouched. At least I know they are not tearing up my plants like they did my sunflower. I imagine if I get rid of the aphids, then the ants will be gone as well. My...

I came back from work to see that the top band of vaseline still on the stalk, though a bit dried out, and with no ants crossing. The bottom ring was still there as well, but a few ants can find a single path where the vaseline wasn't as thick, but are now stuck below the higher band. Their...

I had to go to work this afternoon, so as an experiment I applied a ring of vaseline around the stalk at two different locations - one at the very bottom and one three nodes higher. I watched for two minutes after applying the vaseline and I witnessed plenty of ants on their way up turn right...

That just may be the difference. I live in the dry Mojave desert and at this time of the year the only thing green are my plants. I imagine in the south with the much higher humidity they are looking more for food than a water supply, thus the reason why my infestation isn't that bad. They're...

It just may be easier than I thought. I'm going to give a few of these a try. http://doubledanger.com/living-green/10-tips-for-organic-ant-control

This post is so timely! I have two plants with the exact same problem. My plants are potted but recessed in the ground with the ants coming up through the drain holes. The infestation isn't too bad, but that's only a matter of time. I have two giant sunflower plants that are badly infested...

I really hope you are successfull with your grow. I am so ready to jump over to LEDs, but just don't have the confidence yet. It would be nice to see your efforts change that. Whatever the results are, I'm sure we are going to learn a lot. Subscribed

I remember growing in Big Bear Lake, CA during the winter. Had a 6' x 20' attachment built onto the garage and was running three 1000w HPS. During the coldest of the cold I would have to throw on a 1500w heater to maintain 68 degrees. The attachment had insulation as well. Being that you...

I believe the same applies to California. Therein lies the problem - a project this size I think will inevitably will require professional installation. I don't know enough about A/Cs and don't want to go through the trial and error of doing it myself. The installation would occur before I...
