Those green catepillars also love citrus based plants I found; those fckrs used to camp out on my kumquat trees until I doused them with tabasco and garlic

OK, sweet good info, the hot sauce n garlic might help with other pest also, did you have a good recipe , any adverse affects on plants from using it? I've used hot pepper wax before, burned my self up lol. Thanks

Just throw couple cloves in blender and blend up, 1 teaspoon of tabasco, & enough water to fill water bottle. I used this on kumquat trees and also underside of fans on my babies due to mites. No bugs like this mix from what I see. I didnt notice any difference in taste though please dont soak your buds...

any idea on when i can start bring plants outdoors, im really confused about the growing season there, here is late april, do to frost. and also have heard there are 2 seasons, i look around online but ive found nothing very informative. ill def be making the spray, sounds good for any grow. thx

I live in Miami and I plant a seeding outside and it's started flowering while it was still a seeding and now it's just small with buds. But I did had to indoors for 4 weeks with 24 lights

we used to keep them under 24 hrs light for 45 - 60 days ( jan -feb) then when they went outside they would bud out fully under the real short days at that time of the year and we would harvest around the first of may but ya got to have a early short flowering strain that is light sensitive for best results . we did this for an early crop for summer while the bigger strains grew good luck

Here we plant at the end of april, harvest in Oct, this is MI, wondering whats the earliest my baby's can go outside without them going into flowering, may? or is it the same in FL ? thanks all for your info

ya can start them outside in march /april under natural light( not 24 hr ) and they will just veg, if ya want them to get big , thats what we do or have ya lights timed to what the daylight will be when they go outside and ya are good to go also. hope i'm not confusing ya lol..

I very much appreciate your help. I understand what you mean with the natural sun light. That's what I've been looking for , I've been searching online now for a week. Thanks. I got my seeds ordered if you like to see the list, I also heard that it rains hard so put out plants when there around one foot.

Google sunrise sunset calculator. Should be able to find several. Just input zip code and bam. You'll have daytime length and everything.

very cool, that took care of my questions on planting times, thanks.

this is my new order, tell me what you think, total with shipping was $122.57
40 seeds, 20 Mandala safari mix, regs, 1 auto, 19 fems

It's been a while since I've been active in the forums, mostly due to the fact that I stopped growing. However, I have taken up a new cause. There are quite a few initiative petitions currently with FL Division of Elections approved format. The one in particular that I am apart of is called Florida Organization of Reform (F.O.R.), however, we do tell everyone to sign every approved cannabis petition. The following link will take you to the FL Division of Elections website initiative petitions list: http://dos.elections.myflorida.com/initiatives/

FOR's petition is Cannabis as a Dietary Supplement for Personal and Medical Use; Funding for Teacher Salaries.
It would allow up to 4 oz possession and 10 flowering plants. If you wanted to start a business there is a 10% sales tax; of that 10% all of it goes to teacher's salaries in the State of FL. 25% of the sales can be used for teacher new hires; effectively raising the existing teacher's salaries with remaining 75% of that sales tax. I don't know if any of you are aware but teacher salaries in the State of FL are among some of the lowest in the nation. There are also protections in the petition against asset forfeiture and for parents, DCF (Department of Children & Family) cannot remove a child simply because they possess cannabis in the house (possession or cultivation). It also allows for edibles (including oils and concentrates)

If you would like a copy of the FOR's petition it can be found by searching through the link provided above or directly with the link following: http://www.communitypac.us/uploads/3/7/3/4/37346047/approved_form_(3).pdf

And if you're interested in volunteering email: volunteering4FOR@gmail.com

It's a great organization with an even better cause. I hope some or all of you will join us. I completely understand why some of you cannot, but we will carry on with you in spirit.

Ive ended up moving to Pueblo CO.

Before I left there was a big groop for Regulat Florida. After reading F.O.R. is a lot better in my opinion. Thank you for the post. You all desive to be happy. And the time is now for change.
