2020 Harvest is done. Beat disease and bugs this year, but the heat waves burnt many edges also damaged by wind and abrasion. Going organic I credit for the lack of bugs and disease and plants looked best ever till the heat. Girl Scout Cookies held up well to the heat and tolerate the hard...

WOW! I can't believe it took me this long to try making dry ice hash. So simple easy and efficient! I was aghast as the pile of powder grew deeper and wider. My secret tips: break the dry ice into the smallest chunks with a hammer. Little pieces do a more efficient job without smashing up...

I've found TDS meters don't measure organic content only chemical ferts, which leave an electric charge the meter is reading. Apparently, only practice works with organics. I've gotten the "brown tips" touted by some as a sign of overfeeding. Then backed off the feed. They all look healthy...

I use a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter to keep track of the level of fertilizer I am using on my grow. I found that after adding organic fertilizers of any kind to my feed water LOWERED the total dissolved solids reading! How can this be? How can I measure the amount of organic...

Had three plants pre-flower this year from the usual First Day of Spring start. They're Gorilla Bomb from Bomb Seeds. Though outside from the appearance of the first serrated leaves, they still pre-flowered by 5/9! Just thought I'd let them go as I have before and gotten some "bonsai" like 18"...

My use was by google direction as to how to word queries. use a - sign in front of a word you want excluded from the search result. Therefore the -soil. Yes, that is the type of meter I'm looking for Thank you. Now only if I can find one I can afford!

You ABSOLUTELY MUST try dry ice hash!! I was blown away by the LOAD I GOT FILLED A SHORT BALL JAR! With golden pure hash. Orbital polisher made for a huge take I guess, BUT I'm afraid it broke too many trichomes into pieces dumping their oil on the screen. My ice water extractions didn't get...

I"m trying to find a PLANT moisture reader to test the dried moisture content of drying bud. Search inquiries for "plant moisture reader -soil" returns only soil meters!!! Google customer service doesn't answer the question, doesn't understand my question even. ALL search queries return only...

I just finished my first batch following directions that mixed 1lb of dry ice into 7lb+- ice with previously cured/dried then frozen flower (put flower in a plastic bag, push as much air out as pos. & seal/freeze. A vacuum bag is even better to keep the water out) Frozen bud is broken up by...

Right on target Funky! Love the praying mantis! I learned their value last year to clear fungus gnat larvae. Yeah the all-natural bug bit me last year. Now my chemical stuff sits while I'm trying new "tea" recipes. Results are in your face, I don't need to wait for science to catch up. A new...

I didn't mention that the Gorilla Bomb are a few of the mix this season. These pics are of the Girl Scout Cookies and there are some unknown from "free seeds" doing just as well. All started the same time and treated the same. The GB did the same thing last year. I"m thinking they are more...

I brew aerobic teas to fertilize my outdoor grow. When using rain water 50% mixed with aged tap water with a HIGH TDS of over 500 to get a water at about 250ppm I then add mycorrhizae powder, powdered bat guano, worm castings, kelp and fish extracts and black strap molasses in amounts about...

Running Gorilla Bomb from Bomb Seeds. showing early flowers at 5 weeks. From research so far most say to ignore these flowers, that the plant will return to veg? Only one week under the lights, these Gorilla Bomb fem. photo period from Bomb Seeds started 4/1 (pic is an example), transplanted...

running Girl Scout Cookies & Gorilla Bomb this season. Aerobic tea feeding exclusively. Got 6 of 10 GB seeds from Bomb Seeds to term and all of the GSC. Outdoor south Orange County coastal. Great start to 20! Perfect weather continues to promise a great harvest! The 19 GB was small but...

Marked by bad seeds and a long cold gray spring, 19 portended to be a bad year. Only 1 of 10 leftover white widow seeds sprouted, so buying some more seeds lead to two batches of those coming late, and then they would sprout but then either die off a 2" stub or produce truncated 18" "bonsai"...

Not all photo's went with.... here they are...

Just finishing this years harvest. Long cool spring here (SoCal) so very late ripening, not till late October. First year with the "Feed The Soil" (not the plant) school of thought and I am here to report that it is the BOMB! I left all the chemicals in the garage and just got a 35 gallon...

I came to autos out of necessity when all photo period seeds had failed as well (accepting for the one shown) and I was out of time for photo seeds. I was trying to "fill out" my prescription and feeling like I would run short and have to buy retail this year. Thankfully, the one WW is...

a couple more of my beauty, I can't resist... 2404 was a few days from starting harvest. 2372 is the top cola nearing harvest. 2415 is the second harvest from this plant, the first was just as big. AND 2410 shows what's still ripening as of today after taking two rounds of harvesting. I harvest...

Thanks Toad for the considered reply. Let me address issues one at a time. Firstly: it's important for anyone responding to remember I'm growing outdoors. I'm in Southern California in what's known as a Mediterranean climate. I just got new 20 gallon pots that are 3' tall (I've found roots...
