I've been looking up recipes.

Hmmm ... I just did a pest patrol, and I discovered a small green grasshopper or locust on one of my plants. Not one of the the same plants with the existing damage, but close to them. I am still keen to hear if anyone else has had chicken or bird damage ... not conclusive as yet.

I have just experienced some very similar symptoms Young seedlings (6 weeks) - outdoor summer - browning leaf edges - some brown spots in the middle of a few leaves ... some becoming holes - some necrotic leaves low down But the odd thing was that all my new growth is a healthy dark green At...

Has anyone ever had any experience of chickens pecking at their cannabis seedlings or plants? Or any other birds? I have some leaf damage on my plants - young seedlings about 12" / 30cm tall - 1 gallon / 4.5 litre planter bags - outside in the garden - ground level on the paving The damage...

It looks like you have the space and time and ingredients. As a suggestion for making your own amendments, you could consider making up some nutrient charged biochar. 1. Burn wood in the absence of oxygen to make activated charcoal - a process called pyrolysis 2. Nutrient and microbe charge the...

Yes. I hate those f--kers. If you have one confined to a planter pot, they can seriously reduce your root mass over a grow. Don't worry about having a coop for it to live in from the get go. We just built a coop for our hen at home, and she used it for 3 weeks, then she decided she would...

@Cappuchino Big ups for those links. And to anyone interested in Living Soil & Organics ... those are worth a watch. Proper science that ties all the forum posts and speculation into a clear understanding. And a note especially to people like me who normally get frustrated with the pace and...

Spotted in my local suburb ... Obligatory Legal Disclaimer I am neither the 'concerned citizen' who put up the signs, nor part of the problem that the signs are trying to highlight.

Thanks. On some plants I am seeing little bumps behind the stipules - not quite clear what they will develop into as yet, but they should show fairly soon. Like many things, it is confusing as all **ck 1st time around, no matter who explains, or what you read in tutorials or see in pics And...

That went off in a couple of odd directions. I am bringing it back on track so that it does not confuse other folks who may be reading this thread. No offence intended by any of my comments. Peace out. - - - I'm looking for pre-flowers to sex out the females from my seeds of unidentified...

Nice to know about the stimulation of microbes. I'm planning a LAB ferment of that too. Just waiting to collect fish guts and heads and remnants from my local friendly Chinese takeaway. Yes, I'm a cheap ass bastard - foraging for my own kelp, or bumming leftovers from restaurants or horse...

How did that work out for you? I'm doing the same by foraging fresh kelp washing up locally, then slicing and dicing up to compost in small doses through my worm bin. This year, I've discovered the wonders of lactobacillus for rapidly breaking down the structural parts of input amendments, and...

More bro science. Not recommend, doesn't improve your buzz.

Just topped them all except for one. Most at the 5th node ... 2 'less vigorous' ones at node 6. The evening light is a bit flattering on the colour, but they are all stylin' along pretty nicely.

I just took one paragraph out of that article. It's a good read in full. While it doesn't cut to the chase and list the strains, it details which terpenes promotes which effects. For example, terpenes which modulate anxiety will be important in medicinal use. Not everyone is smoking to get...

“Beyond the common form of cannabis that pervades the markets with its high THC and high myrcene, productive of a soporific ‘couch-lock’ experience, other terpenoids, when present in appropriate concentrations, may alter the experience positively to increase the therapeutic index of cannabis by...

From what I've read, the ferments stimulate microbial life, and microbes stimulate terpenes, or at least the pre-cursors that the plant needs to make its own terpenes. Word. I'm growing in a diverse living soil, microbes from all sorts of different sources. I used a banana and prickly pear...

Corrugated cardboard is your best friend when it comes to worm bins. I don't bother to shred mine. Instead, I have a pre-soak water drum with a lid. I've added a handful of horse manure to the water, and occasionally some kelp soak water, or worm bin leachate to that. I rip up my pizza boxes or...

Thanks! Happy soil. Happy microbes. Happy plants. :) Getting an inch or more of growth a day now. I've found a few spiders that have taken up residence, and one has built a canopy web. A teeny tiny praying mantis is also on patrol among the plants. It seems that the organic approach is...

There could be some logic in that. A stress response. "Arghhhh, under attack, shitty living conditions ... we're all going to die! Unlikely to reach maturity. Make babies now !!!" But that's just speculation on my part. :mrgreen: This is useful past experience. Thanks. So I'll proceed as...
