I guess I could have posted this in the Organics thread but the mealybug destroyers (and that is the official name for these critters) are on a couple of scale-infested gardenia bushes, not my cannabis plants. Those damn scales have made a mess with all the honeydew they spew and the sooty mold...

Some plants just do that when they flower. They are annuals. Nature "intends" for them to die after they reproduce. It could just be a sign of aging, like men losing their hair. As long as the newer leaves look healthy, no need to panic. Stick to the feeding plan and it will probably work out...

I use something called mancozeb. It may or may not contain copper. One source I read says it contains manganese and zinc, another said "inorganic copper," whatever TF that is. I have read some growers stating concerns that the copper could turn into something toxic as a result of combustion...

Single Seed Centre in UK has never let me down. Only drawback has been US Customs seizing a couple of orders, but when I contacted the SSC they were able to send replacement orders through other channels. I have also bought from MSNL (Dutch) and D.C. Seed Exchange (US). No gripes about either of...

"By the end of the 4th day the buds were sticky and smelled very good." So, how many days did that shave off your usual drying time? Seems like my flowers usually take 5-7 days if I just leave them out to dry "naturally."

According to Leafly: "Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of its mountainous homeland, Swazi Gold grows with ease and resilience, although growers will have to wait anywhere from 55 to 85 days for plants to finish flowering." I don't know how the southern Ontario climate compares to...

The plants are in a fenced area, but raccoons, possums and cats can easily get in there.

So the "natural biopolymers" in the other product are what creates or supports the "slime coat"? Sounds like something we don't need in our water supply. Unless we are fishes, I guess. Thanks for the heads-up. If I buy a "water conditioner" I'll get the one without the "biopolymers."

Also, I noticed this stuff in the pet store the other day when I was buying food for ungrateful cats. https://www.petsmart.com/fish/food-and-care/water-care-and-conditioning/tetra-aquasafe-plus-aquarium-dechlorinator-water-conditioner-17577.html?cgid=300117 It's advertised as "water...

Just so happens that I just got a dehydrator and plan to use it, mainly on trim that I am drying out for extracts or to make topicals (coconut oil). I agree that fast-dried buds are not as tasty as the flowers that are just left out to dry at room temp. But I beg to differ with the doomsayers...

I guess none of the "experts" on amber trichomes are going to answer, so I'll tell you what I found out from Googling "when to harvest CBD strains." 1. A couple sources said to harvest EARLIER than you would if you were trying to get maximum THC. 2. One source said that you should harvest...

I have been leaving water out in open containers to let chlorine evaporate over a 24-hour period. Honestly I can't tell if it makes a big difference, but I have two reasons for doing this: 1. I grow a few carnivorous plants just for laughs and they are (allegedly) sensitive to water that has...

Another possibility: raccoon dogs! https://www.foxnews.com/science/raccoon-dog-terrorizes-villagers#

OK, after I had that temper tantrum I went to the website for the Colorado Seed Co. and it appears they are no longer selling their Dr. Feelgood strain. It was a cross of their Gupta Kush and Harlequin, but it is no longer listed on their website. Now, for all I know Gupta Kush X Harlequin was...

This plant and two other Dr. Feelgoods have been in the ground since March 27, so they were probably germed around mid-March. I The other two females are larger than this one but their flowers don't look quite as mature. I'm about ready to chop this one. I'm growing it mainly for my wife...

Don't you be no fool...

Update: Just checked the garden and it appears that two branches got knocked off my Dance World plant. :cuss: FWIW, it looked like damaged branches had been pushed downward. They were still barely attached to the plants by a few strands of hemp fiber in the epidermis of the main stem. Now I'm...

That reminds me that one of these days I've got to visit the Bigfoot museum in Felton! I lived in Salinas for four years and never went there despite the fact it's only a couple hours drive away.
