Growing Pot where its hot
Feminized seeds are made by treating a new female with a solution of silver thiosulfate. I pick 1-2 areas where I juuuuust see the first white hairs that denote a female plant. Spray 1-2 squirts once every day for a couple of weeks normally does the trick. The plant will look stressed where you’ve sprayed…
Since I do raised beds outdoors, this incurs some maintenance. As time goes by your beds get compacted and soil needs rejuvination from nutrient loss. Aside from a buildup of fiberous root material that can restrict growth, your beds can also harbor grubs & cutworms. I noticed a smaller yield the previous season so I…
This video shows the effectiveness of the silver thio spray. I even got “flipped” areas from indirect overspray.

The old school metal halide and high pressure sodium lights were…

I really liked the huge buds I got from afghani X Bruce Kalimist. It smoked well with spicy flavors & the wife was pleased with the 2nd hand smell. I got 15oz dry weight from 1 plant I also liked some of this GOP (Guadalajara Orange Punch) from Burner Genetics in Oregon. Very nice…
