    Family Flock of Frisian Female Fowl Take Flight

    Hi everyone, it's HARVEST SEASON in the great outdoors up here in the northern Hemi. Rather than bore you with months of growth, I figured I'd cut to the chase and get to the fun parts. I have a family of Frisian Ducks growing. For ease, I'll name them: Darkwing Duck (In the ground, Seed)...

    Rove Beetle

    Any idea what this is? I've seen aphids, and looked up pictures of thrips, looks like neither. Seems to be sucking a vein on the leaf, thought it might just be walking on it. This is an outdoor plant on the US East Coast zone 5B. The insect is shiny, dark brown to black, segmented...

    Post harvest cleanup.

    Hi everyone. I have a plant in the ground outside, in a bed I plan to use again. What do I do about the stump? I'd think I could cover it with compost and let it compost in place, but it's 2" thick, and usually stuff that thick doesn't break down very fast. Any suggestions? I'm trying to...

    Potassium Deficiency?

    Hi guys, I've got an outdoor plant that's about 2-3 weeks from harvest. I'm noticing some fan leaves getting damage on the margins, looks like potassium deficiency to me.Temps are averaging 75 daytime, 65 night. It's just the oldest fan leaves taking damage. Soil is native, lots of clay...

    Making it to harvest.

    Hello veteran gardeners, I'm fairly new to gardening, and while all of my veggies are doing wonderful and loving the rain, I've got some concerns about my Frisian Duck, rain, and mold. It rained pretty hard last night, and the largest buds were all bent halfway to the ground. I've tied them...

    First In-The-Ground-Grow, We're Flowering

    I've got a nice big Frisian Duck outside. I amended per the recommendations from a soil test, and the same soil has been growing a ridiculous amount of tomatoes, corn, pumpkins, peppers, and melons. I assume that the soil will do great as well to finish her out, but I wasn't sure if I should...

    70RH at all times

    Hi everyone. Usually I have more control over my humidity, but right now I can't get the RH in my house below 70%. Aside from the chance of mold, what are the consequences of drying in 72F, 70RH, in darkness, and constant light airflow. Will the buds ever dry properly in this environment?

    GH Waterfarm, First Hydro Grow. Hopefully catching a problem early. Help?

    Hi all, here's the problem: Strange waviness to leaves with some brown or necrotic looking spots starting to develop. The spots don't appear to prefer a location on the leaf, there are little brown spots here and there. Older leaves only. Grow details: Indoor, 2 1/2 weeks from seed 3x3x7...

    Mystery of the Missing Stigmas

    Hello, all. I'll get pics up shortly, though I doubt their helpfulness in this situation. I've got a Girl Scout Cookies from Fast Buds that I had started inside, but placed outside probably around week 5. Now it's about harvest time, and strangely, all of the stigmas have disappeared. They...

    Nitrogen and Pests

    I did a little test on some in the ground plants the other day, to see if I could do with some additional N. New beds using native soil and amendments, I just wasn't sure. Days later, on the plants I fed a little extra N to, I found pests had moved in. Apparently, they're fans of new, and...

    Landrace Breeders

    Hi all, looking at growing some older genetics from around the world. I know World of Seeds stocks several landrace, and Seeds of Africa has some interesting varieties as well. I'm looking for more options though. Preferably regular, unfeminized seed, from a breeder who can be trusted. I'm...

    Hanging Basket grow.

    I had a couple autos that were being crowded out of my flower cabinet. These girls have been soaking up the sun (mostly rain lately, actually) and are doing pretty well in their hanging pots. Better than in their tiny rootbound pots, light being blocked by a giant Sativa. And the hummingbirds...

    Rapid Rooters for seeds

    Hi everyone, I like using Rapid Rooters for my Cannabis seed, I just have great success with them. Now that plants are the most interesting thing in the world to me, I'm starting a bunch of plants outside this summer. Tomatoes, peppers, melon, pumpkin, strawberry, echinicea, milkweed. Bunch...

    Oh, but if only were I to be, a lumberjack, like thee.

    I've been growing since last summer, mostly indoors. I've had incredible success despite numerous mistakes and surprises, and I'm finally settling into the rhythm of a perpetual indoor grow. My setup is really small, 1-2 plants in each cabinet, and I have to keep them relatively short, but...
