    Repotting from 5 gal pots to 10 gal pots have roots coming out bottom drain hole

    You are fine. They will continue to add more roots. It was good move.

    I need to stop! Keep clipping off bottom stems and cloning them. This time of the year they can pretty much just get stuck in the ground and they will grow.Nothing goes to waste. Many veterans around that love getting the plants.

    Been growing GSC and Blue Dream in years past. Trying some new ones this year and the jury is out. 9# Hammer Painless AK 47 Blue Light Dream Beaver Do-Si-Does I use a lot of compost tea and grow in bags from 15-25 gallon. I have the bags on moving dollies and can move around as needed which...

    Free Alpaca Manure

    I have a large supply of alpaca poop. Just make a big pile of it and worms will start working on it from the bottom. As long as there is some moisture, they will turn the whole thing into castings. Takes more or yes a year but of course you can dig good stuff out of bottom fairly soon. It's...

    Platnium GSC outdoors

    More questions for you experts! My two older plants are now about 44 inches above the pot and about 2 ft across. Are the 25 gallon fabric pots going to be big enough??? Last year I got a late start because of the laws and grew two to maturity in fairly small. It appears these are becoming...

    Platnium GSC outdoors

    I'll stick to my magnesium sulfate since most info says water softener salt actually takes the mag out. But like all things, go with what works for you....carefully.

    Platnium GSC outdoors

    Just more info here that I forgot. I do add some bone meal and lime to mix. Also put some magnesium sulfate about once a week. Was looking to buy some Epsom salt for my roses a few years ago. Found it was quite expensive but got a fifty pound bag of magnesium sulfate at the feed store for about $22.

    Platnium GSC outdoors

    Last year's late start with gsc allowed me to grow in relatively small pots.So when I trans planted this year's Pgsc, I used the same pots. Yesterday, when I went to re pot again, I found they had started to become rot bound already. Had to cut the pulp pot to release plant. They are now in 25...

    Platnium GSC outdoors

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, we have been having cool nights. I'm feeding the same compost tea to other flowers/veggies and all are looking great except the cool has slowed growth the last week or so.

    Platnium GSC outdoors

    Thanks for reply! I tried to investigate and found a lot of tail chasing if that makes sense. I was getting paranoid about them but know I am doing close to exactly like last year . Since I got started a month and a half sooner this year I am pretty confident they will finish. Even the clones...

    Platnium GSC outdoors

    I live in Oregon and last year got two GSC clones when it became legal on July 1. I grew outdoors in pots and they turned out really good. We had a hot/late summer so they got finished. This year I bought two Platnium GSC clones on May 13. In only a week I was able to snip off some small...

    Vacuum sealer for storage

    I finally decided to put mine in jars. I used the (vac-pac) attachment that sucks the air out but doesn't squish the medicine.

    Vacuum sealer for storage

    Bringing this back up for more ideas. I thought it would be a good idea since it would virtually "freeze" the moisture and quality. With small quanities I have just put in a baggie then a cottage cheese carton and that seemed to work ok for my small boughten batches. I grew two GSC that I think...
