I use (8) TBLS of Jacks (non-organic) veg., or bloom, and/or finisher (Aqua-Gold) which is 50% strength. Just like (2) TBLS of the same nutes per (2) gal. on water = 50%, as well. Handy mixing for those 3-gallon blue watering cans. Jack's includes a nifty tsp/TBL measuring cup in each bucket...

Actually, a sudden need for a double-bypass sidelined me. If you ever become short of breath walking up a hill or performing task.... check yourself in for a medical "treadmill" stress test before it's too late.

I was planning a grow beginning May 1, but with too many construction projects around the property, I'll have to forego planting, but I'll probably order (5) Auto-Flower Girl Scout Cookies Extreme seeds from Bob Bergman and not worry about lighting schedules, starting whenever I get freed-up...

SUBERIN - The main substance in cork. Made in the roots, it's a carbon sink and sequesters carbon dioxide for decades. Joanne Chory, biologist at Salk Institute will head the initiative that aims to increase the amount of CO2 that plants store in their roots. Roots!...No roots...no fruits! Grow...

Actually, there's too much going on in my life to spend 6-weeks off my foot recovering from surgery, so my Dr. and I concluded to post pone the procedure until needed. Back to being an 8th season planter. Maybe only (4) plants this year, (6) were full time for me, but will probably start with...

My plants weren't truly T-manifold because I didn't tie the first two opposing limbs down to horizontal. Had I done so, the sun-exposed limbs would have sent shoots ("risers" in the plumbing trade) upward immediately compared to the extra time it took for my "Y" manifold to produce limbs...

Hi folks! I'm unable to grow a one-and-done this season, as I'm having foot surgery at the VA May 14, and that's four weeks, give or take, to be off my feet. But, I'm here to say that my manifold open-cage method worked great, and the crop is the strongest ever. I grew (6) plants and enough...

Yea, it's okay. It's better than investing in corn husk. I guess "Baggies™" are food grade too. I'll try them, but, the corn husk ones I have brewing for 30-days are stemless buds. Pure flower. I wanted to see if I could melt the mass into more of a hash-roll and cleaner cleavage. I just read...

Nice roll. You know, I'm beginning to realize that leaving those shroud leaves, even trich coated, on the buds as shown, may not be such a good idea. Some of the bitter-inhale caused by them is homogenized during curing, but I have a 7-day cure that left some of the leaves choking-rank on the...

I have a few that will reach 30-days on Dec. 8. Will open one just to check it out. The longer they age, the better the taste. Nice bud. Looks like you dipped it in caramel or sugar!

Next grow try simplifying the process. Instead of Happy Frog, use Kellogg's Raised Bed soil (H. Depot), and for nutes, go with non-organic Jack's, veg, bloom, and finisher @ half-strength for the entire grow (1 tsp/gal H2o). Never need to pH ever. If the garden hose water won't kill you when you...

Every October/November the coastal air in California is dry (5-25% RH), which is also harvest time. My drying box is a 50" x50" x 79"h grow tent. I hang 2x4 wire from the ceiling, and use Home Depot clips (35¢ ea.) to hang the bud-sticks. For humidity, I soak a large beach towel and wring it...

:) These set in the dark cool/cold vac-sealed for two weeks. Cold when unwrapped. Sweet aroma, expecting the "piney" to begin when it's starts drying out. This cob I cleaned of shroud leaves and most sticks. Now drying in a doubled paper-bag with the top folded over to keep bugs out. RH is 26%...

Looks good! • "I've just taken out of the mason jar after a week under pressure". How do you pressurize a "Mason Jar"? Just the pressure captured when you tighten the seal-lid? • How to you apply "pressure" to the weed when it's in the jar? • Why husk-warp and vacuum-seal, when all that's...

If you cover the cobs while they're heating on the 120-degree heat-mat, then add a golf ball size damp ball of cloth under the cover as well to keep the cob moisture from being drawn-out.

Use the 62RH Boveda packs. They'll re-hydrate dried weed, but as stated below, won't re-start a cure, is what I meant to say. Don't try and re-hydrate dried-weed to cob. Re-hydrated weed will rot in that environment. I'm cobbing all of my jars until I run out of corn husks. My jars are at RH...

Each imparts it's own flavor. The corn husks seem about neutral. But, the fresh-packaged corn husks from Mexico have a tumeric or Mexican spice that has a slight tamale aroma, that's why I soaked them in warm water for 5-minutes. I'd be cautious about how much plant-moisture is in the leaves...

Has a more piney than over-ripe fruit aroma now, after (5) days. I tried a small piece, after rubbing-off the frosted sheathing leaves which dry-crumbled. The flower consistency is now like fiber-hash, but can still be pinched-portioned like slab. Taste faintly piney, and very smooth. Of major...

farmer told me the dispensaries won't carry it because of the way it looks. If you saw that laying on the sidewalk, wouldn't you cross the street? Yeah, I'm a fan of good sativa, except for how long it takes to get ripe, and exposed to bud rot conditions. None this year, I think defoliating...
