A 2 lb plastic coffee container holds 12 cups (3/4 gallon). A 2 liter soda bottle another favorite of hempy growers holds about 7 cups after the top is cut off, less than 1/2 gallon.

The federal government has lost sight of why it exist. Government is suppose to serve the people! We are not suppose to serve the government! More than 50% of the citizens in 14 states have said YES to medical marijuana and the federal government sees it as an assault upon its authority. Well...

I have the same apprehension you do about ordering on-line but I have a plan! I just started a bag seed grow a month ago which should be finished about the 2nd week in January so I'm going to order about the 1st week in December. Why December? The Christmas season of course! There will be so...

Thanks for the insight; I’ll keep vermiculite in the ratio. I’ve had potted ornamentals do the same thing when the medium was too light.

I had to go out of town for a few days but I’m back. Thank you for the tip on pH swing. Because it was so slight and within limits I hadn’t even considered it (+0.1 to 0.2). Just for grins I’ll keep a record of the pH as I up the nutrients to see what it does. From the...

Xare and Little Tommy, thank you both for the prompt reply. Your info has put my mind at rest. Not knowing what the problem is can be an adrenalin moment! This is my first grow in about 13 years and I'm a little rusty. Needless to say the techniques of growing have changed considerably. I grew...

Azgrow, I want to thank you for a great thread! I read your first one with enough pages to fill a book and of course this one. Xare, if you’re out there your thread “White Widow Hempy Grow” was the first one I read and I highly recommend it to everyone! Anyway, to cut to the chase, I’m on...

Stink bugs come in two flavors; carnivorous and herbivorous. The carnivorous type is great to have around but the herbivorous types are not, they eat your plants. It's hard to tell them apart unless you find one eating another insect. However, if you find one sitting on your plant and it seems...

Since they eat soft bodied insects I would assume they would be on the menu. However, like you and I, we have our likes and dislikes.

What you have is a green lacewing. Do not kill these insects they are very beneficial! Here is what I have in my field guide: "Females lay white eggs suspended at the end of slender stalks. The larve are sometimes called aphid lions because they prey on aphids and other soft-bodied insects...

Use baking soda (calcium bicarbonate of soda). It works great but is for short time use because it will cause salt build-up over time. Vinegar, an acid, is good for pH down. --- Party on Dude!

I've seen those before and I believe it's a type of moth caterpillar. Anyway, caterpillars love to eat whatever you find them on. For insects of all types the best insecticide I have found is called "Garden Safe Fruit & Vegetable Insect Killer" and it's made by Schultz. It's pyrethrin based and...

Thank you for the clarification Xare. I know different mediums require a different pH and I just wanted to be sure. I’m in the process of getting ready for my 2 liter hempy grow which I will probably start the 1st of September. I haven’t had a grow in about 12 years so I’m going to stretch...

First of all, I have been following your thread since April and this is the most awesome SOG I have ever seen! Are you sure you don’t have two green thumbs instead of one? My next grow is definitely going to be Hempy. I do have 1 question for you about pH. In your first post under the heading...

I lived in Thailand for three years in the 70s and smoked and abundance of Thai stick. It was wrapped around a sliver of either bamboo or MJ stock and tied with a single fiber from the plant, not string. The stuff that was laced with opium was called Budda Weed and was something to stay away...
