Growing Pot where it's hot!
This is the GOP Afghani outdoor grow for the season. I bred these beans over the past winter holiday and got seeds that sprouted well–from a previous post in Mid Feb: The plants are going on 90 days old or so and are doing quite well outdoors. The stems are thick & healthy and the…

I sold some seeds to a FB friend and got the DM in the featured image just this morning. They planted 2 and got 2 popped up. That’s always a good feeling. Cannabis seeds sprouted! Now they are going to try their hand at cloning once its big enough to take cuttings from.
A reputable seller will perform a seed viability check. If you pack parachutes, the rule is you jump with one you’ve loaded after loading 10. Thankfully this isn’t life or death but still needs to be done. I took 10 fairly random cannabis seeds as a representative of the seed yield that occurred recently. I…
When prop 207 passed in 2020 I setup my first legal recreational grow. Raised bed going on 5 years of age. I’ve been jabbing it with organic compost/amendments between cycles but time to strip it down. Soil Maintenance Time!! Dirt gets compacted..old roots and grubs might be in there. The best way to deal with…
Sprouting of the recent cross breed that dropped a couple of weeks ago. Looks promising with a healthy stalk. Another looks male, more pics to follow.So far the Afghani GOP looks to be a winner.

I wont get into politics here with global warming & all…just my 2 cents as an AZ resident with a green thumb. The summers seem to be getting hotter. The last 2 “normal” spring to fall seasons were not good. It got hot too early, stayed hot and along with that came budworms and other…

Hello dear readers– the website server had a glitch and all I had was a pretty old exported backup to bring back in. I’ll be re-adding content as we go and I am also going to be selling seeds and other supplies for the grow community–stay tuned. And yes, the featured image is a pic…
As most of you have surmised, looking at previous posts, there is no real guarantee on seed outcomes. Some vendors will stand by their product and others will not. I have seen some wild fluctuations in prices too. Last year I purchased some “regular” seeds . These are not genetically or chemically modified to be…
Over the winter I grew some standard feminized photo-period plants indoors and they did quite well. These were some Critical Mass strain acquired from ILGM.com. As you can see by the one plant they gave a good yield. The “wet weight” is 15.8oz according to a digital scale from Stamps.com. It’s been my observation that…
