MFMF A bit difficult to tell from the pics though.

yeah, just pour a thick line of salt around your plant. any snails/slugs that try to traverse it will die painfully.

Thanks for letting me know about the sand. As I was out there earlier, transplanting and moving, I ended up being about a half-gallon of soil short, so I put some sand (white sugar sand...it's everywhere) around the plant for added stability instead. The 18-6-12 package said: 2tsp for a 1gal...

Damn, I just checked my fert selections again, and I was wrong, it's actually 18-6-12 versus 10-35-15...so which would be best to go with at this stage? I need a healthy amount of N, P, and K! Is there anything I can do about this? What would be the best route?

I'd like to try to use dry ice for added CO2...If you can control the temp and the rate of sublimation, then you've got a block of pure CO2 at your disposal!

It's all compost in the pot...lettuce/spinach/celery leaves (for N), banana peels/mango bits/peach bits (for P & K)....but yeah, it is attracting bugs...mosquitoes all over the place. She definitely gets at least 9 hours of sunlight each day. What's another good aeration ingredient to use...

Yeah, it has only been getting rain water lately and I do plan on transplanting it tomorrow into either a 5gal or some other large pot that we have so that it can spread its roots a bit. I'd most likely go with N deficiency, as I haven't used any chemical fertilizer before today, and today I...

A bit North of WPB. I've got a few not-very-impressive pics. I just added a pinch of epsom salt (for Mg deficiency?) and a few 18-10-16 fertilizer bead ball things for the first time (waaayyy under the recommended dose). I haven't ever added any fertilizers, but I think I'm beginning to need...

I planted 12 seeds (bag seeds) and only one sprouted. Luckily it turned out to be female. Then I planted 15 seeds and none sprouted. Take that however you want.

My plant is in a spot that definitely gets plenty of light, but I do know that it needs a bigger pot. I plan on transplanting tomorrow. I'm not sure exactly how old she is, but somewhere around 3-4 months. I know, she definitely looks lanky, but that is in part because a lot of the lower leaves...

How did you fuck up? Was it by adding too much of the wrong fert at early flowering? I just read up on a page with some disorders+solutions, and it hinted that I might have a Mg deficiency, so I took about 1/9th of a tablespoon of epsom salt, mixed it with another teaspoon of water, added only...

Okay, so I've had my plant on strictly organic nutrients (compost supplements) so far, but this yellowing isn't going away and I have two fertilizer options available without buying anything new. I've got a 15-35-10 that I thought would be good for the P addition, but I've also got an 18-10-16...

My plant is about 2ft tall and has a pretty thick stem. I'm most interested in the bending technique, but I don't see how I could bend it so much to receive more light than it already does(?), or how I could do this without breaking the stem... Do you bend towards the direction of the rising sun...

During first/second week of flowering (just starting to show the white pistils/hairs)? I've had a totally organic grow so far, so I'm a bit reluctant to add a chemical fertilizer of any kind, nonetheless one designed for orchids...but all plants need the same macronutrients, so this ought to...

yeah, that makes some sense as it's currently in a black pot... i'll make sure my 5gal is one of the white or yellow ones. i'll check up on it tomorrow to see if there's any improvement and hopefully i'll have time to transplant it. thanks for the help so far.

Okay, I just read something about it maybe being heat stress?! It's been in the high 80sF/low 90sF lately, but still a bit breezy...should I make some sort of shade for it? I know that I need to transplant it to a bigger pot, but I don't want to stress it too much while it's looking like...

It's been raining here a lot lately, except for the last few days, so I went out to check on my baby and I was surprised to see that so many of the lower node stems were bending downwards with yellowing leaves, reddish/purple stems, and some gnarled upper leaves... I just found out that it IS...

any green plant/vegetable trimmings. i personally use leftover spinach, lettuce, celery leaves, or the grass cuttings that get spit out by the mower.

it is raining right now, but I took some pictures yesterday while it was clear outside. you can only really see some slight drooping of the leaves, the yellowing bottom leaves, the size of the pot, and (maybe?!) the gender... it might be a bit young to determine the gender, but if anyone can...

Okay, so my plant is growing in a pot out in a clearing in the woods near my house, where it gets good sunlight and, unfortunately, lots of rain this time of year. I think it's out-growing the 8" diameter pot that its in, but I'm a bit worried that transplanting it would shock it...and it's been...
