Thanks @Boatguy & @farmerfischer More good ideas to add into my thinking. For safety's sake, I might prefer to get it the hell way from the rest of my females before it knocks them up and gives me seeds on all of them. I'll probably 'bonsai' it with a root trim and branch prune, but let it...

New question: If I wanted to keep him here in my same yard as my girls for a while longer Can I cut his balls off as nanners appear ? Or will that a) stress him out b) expose my ladies to too much chance of pollination because it's hard to get them all, and there is too much chance I will...

Great! Thanks. That's the kind of new info I hadn't found in any searches, or thought about yet. So based on that, I'll do one or more branch prunes and a gentle root trim between end December and mid Feb. I'll make sure to finish with any stress stuff by end Feb, and have him in his final pot...

So I'm busy sexing out my 7 week outdoor plants by way of pre-flowers. I am selecting females to grow for the duration of my Southern hemisphere outdoor season - 12/12 is beginning March - bud harvest is end May 2023. This morning I found my 1st confirmed male, and it is seed from an unknown...

The Higgs Boson Blues ~ Nick Cave

That kind of sums it up in 5 words.

How is the drainage of your soil? And how compacted is it? Could be a lack of oxygen to the roots, and that can present as a nutrient deficiency. Not because your medium doesn't have what's needed, but unhappy inefficient roots can't supply it when and where needed.

Indeed. We built her a coop. We couldn't find any eggs. She preferred the basket on the back of a scooter.

Can confirm. I was wondering why hens lay an egg every day. I thought that maybe we had bred them to do that, so I looked it up. Each hen wants to get to around 7 or 8 eggs, and then sit and brood on that clutch until they hatch. That's the number of baby chicks they can handle to rear to...

Yep. Have done. But it's not slugs. I occasionally find the odd little one here or there in my worm bin where it's reasonably damp, but never out in the garden. It's ripping into peak summer here, and my plants are all on the paving by our pool ... the nearest grass is a good 10-15 paces yards...

My biggest annoyance has been the hen realising that I'm the 'worm guy'. I've got a corner of the garden with my growing shit, which included 5 tubs with earthworms pre-processing my soil and amendment mix. Those all got emptied onto a tarp on the lawn and hand mixed with my homemade garden...

I've been looking up recipes.

Hmmm ... I just did a pest patrol, and I discovered a small green grasshopper or locust on one of my plants. Not one of the the same plants with the existing damage, but close to them. I am still keen to hear if anyone else has had chicken or bird damage ... not conclusive as yet.

I have just experienced some very similar symptoms Young seedlings (6 weeks) - outdoor summer - browning leaf edges - some brown spots in the middle of a few leaves ... some becoming holes - some necrotic leaves low down But the odd thing was that all my new growth is a healthy dark green At...

Has anyone ever had any experience of chickens pecking at their cannabis seedlings or plants? Or any other birds? I have some leaf damage on my plants - young seedlings about 12" / 30cm tall - 1 gallon / 4.5 litre planter bags - outside in the garden - ground level on the paving The damage...

It looks like you have the space and time and ingredients. As a suggestion for making your own amendments, you could consider making up some nutrient charged biochar. 1. Burn wood in the absence of oxygen to make activated charcoal - a process called pyrolysis 2. Nutrient and microbe charge the...

Yes. I hate those f--kers. If you have one confined to a planter pot, they can seriously reduce your root mass over a grow. Don't worry about having a coop for it to live in from the get go. We just built a coop for our hen at home, and she used it for 3 weeks, then she decided she would...

@Cappuchino Big ups for those links. And to anyone interested in Living Soil & Organics ... those are worth a watch. Proper science that ties all the forum posts and speculation into a clear understanding. And a note especially to people like me who normally get frustrated with the pace and...

Spotted in my local suburb ... Obligatory Legal Disclaimer I am neither the 'concerned citizen' who put up the signs, nor part of the problem that the signs are trying to highlight.

Thanks. On some plants I am seeing little bumps behind the stipules - not quite clear what they will develop into as yet, but they should show fairly soon. Like many things, it is confusing as all **ck 1st time around, no matter who explains, or what you read in tutorials or see in pics And...
