If you're going for size, pick the best one and get rid of all the others and pinch the new flowers as soon as you see 'em. ‎

Here's a site I used when growing mine that will calculate the weight for you. Pretty handy. They also have apps for it. http://pixelspotlight.com/pumpkin.php

Are you leaving 2 pumpkins on that plant? How big are they?

According to Accuweather, we're in for a warm and dry autumn. This bodes well for my grow since I have access to water and I may not run into mold and frost problems, but oh those poor farmers. http://www.aol.com/article/2016/08/04/2016-us-fall-forecast/21444935/‎ ‎ Here's a couple maps showing...

Please do. I'm curious.

Here's my girl this evening. Definitely seems to be stretching and is gaining almost an inch a day. 44" from soil to tip and a bit wider than she is tall. ‎Figure there will be 3 primary colas, 4 or 5 secondary ones and a whole bunch of smaller bud sites.‎ Pretty sure there are more than...

Assuming you're American, I'm wondering if that was perhaps meant as irony? (my igloo is equipped with WiFi so I do get US news) :bigjoint:

Yup. In Toronto and same situation - no significant rain since May. Everything is dormant and brown here and I'm feeling for those farmers. My rock garden is loving it and my grow is in the backyard so no lugging of water, but I've resorted to filling the rain barrel with the hose and waiting a...

Well thanks a whole lot Calliandra. You've got me up way past bedtime reading about damn phytochromes and florigen. I don't know if hitting the plants repeatedly with UV would have that effect since (I don't know yet but will soon enough!) I imagine the florigen once released takes time to...

Looks really dry. What kind of temperatures are you getting? How much sun? How often are you watering? Those breathable pots dry out quick. And why 9 different nutrient formulas? Do you have a formula, knowledge or experience that led you to use this big expensive buffet of additives, or are...

Next time someone rags on me for how obsessive I am about plants and gardening, I'll tell them about this guy Don who built light panels with specific ratios of different coloured lights to ensure his plants receive optimal light spectra - even in the mothafuckin' dark. Love it when people...

That makes sense. Thanks. My friend who has been really into essential oils recently made me a pest prevention spray out of them and and far, so good. I can't remember which oils she used but if anyone is interested, I'll check the label she made for it tonight.

I share your WTF wholeheartedly and agree that this is probably worth its own thread. I'm going to see what else I can dig up on it first though. Will report back! Edit to add an apology to Don Brennon for taking over his thread with off-topic material. I'll start a new one in the General forum...

Here's my Dill's Atlantic grow from last year. Ended up at just over 6.5' around and about 125lbs. Not what I was hoping for, but what a fun grow... 11 weeks from germination: 10" tall and wide 16 Weeks: 18 Weeks: Nearly 200sq feet of property overtaken 22 Weeks: 63" Circumference -...

Don't you hate when someone gives you the most obvious simple solution to a problem that you should have thought of yourself without really even needing to think? ...thanks Indacouch......I'll show myself out now... *slouches and skulks off to craft store in search of fake flowers*

I don't have a label to read and the picture of the label is blurry and out of focus. Inquiring minds...

My one pretty little potted girl is 43" from soil to tip as of today. Not an impressive size but hoping she makes up for it in quality. And still not too shabby when you factor in a late start, newbie grower, potted plant, and sitting outside in fairly plain view in a large city where it's not...

Looks like I may have found my answer and it's really fascinating. It has to do with how plants react to the far red spectrum of light which occurs outside, but not in a grow room. I will quote a post here from 'Dogsnova' on the 420 Magazine forums from 2010. It does make me wonder though how...

I mixed up my fermented fruit bloom fertilizer tonight using fruit I got at the discount shelf of the grocery store and some from my garden. I am now impatiently waiting for a week or two for it to ferment so figured I'd kill some of that time by posting my recipe here... I used the following...

Thanks Don. Appreciate the long answer to my long questions. Couple things (will prob also be long)... On the juicer: you're absolutely right and I thought of that afterwards. It's obvious on second thought that the juice is so healthy because you are extracting so much of the goodness that the...
