Growing Pot where its hot
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.
These were started indoors the moved out for a winter grow. Avoiding heat, insects and ground squirrels Big healthy fluffy buds that weighed in just under 15oz harvest wet weight per plant
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…

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…
Low yields can, at times, be attributed to poor pruning. If you just let a marijuana plant “do it’s thing” it will want to grow into a sort of spindly stick plant with vertical height but no real bushy-ness. You will want a plant that grows OUT as well as UP. And you want to…

One thing you start to accumulate as you go on with your grow is “shade leaf”. This is the non-bud fan leaf that you trim off as time goes by as the plant matures. Also known as duffage, trim, shake depending on the neighborhood you grew up in. It may not make the best smoke,…

The law was pretty well written but there is one bit of ambiguity in the stated amount that we are allowed to possess. Not everyone is going to grow and some will buy from dispensaries or may get a bag gifted from a friend. The law states that you can possess an ounce but it’s…
I make good use of tupperware type small bowls. Take a clean paper towel folded 3 times so there are a few layers top & bottom. Wet the paper towel well with distilled/de-ionized water. I have a small RO unit for clean water needs. Place your seeds between the main folds and make sure that…
