Fellow Growers... It has been months since I burned all my plants in the fireplace, fire being the best medicine for scale. {Of course I sprayed 25% bleach to 75% water all over the place ten times.} The bleach seems to have done its job well. Now I am starting with Sour Bubble and a...

Fellow Growers, I had two thoughtful posts deleted after being insulted by someone who's name I forgot. He hated Ayn Rand. I have read Atlas Shrugged 13 times, all her books and it took just about 13 years. I'm an authority on Ayn Rand and just assumed he was just some high school kid...

I hope discussing the Coronavirus, the Chinese Kung Flu... is alright. It's good that I live on my farm and the closest neighbor is a quarter mile away. I wouldn't live anyplace else but now I am really glad for my solitude. Solitude from people is solitude from problems as well as...

Fellow Growers, Today is an overcast rainy Sunday. Three little 'Sweet Cindy' have sprouted and are doing fine! I soaked the soil real good, then packed it down with a can. Soaked the 5 seeds two hours, then slipped them in the dirt, in 4" pots. Watered with warm water in a spray bottle...

Folks, Bleaching plywood and gear today. Moving everything, outside to be sprayed with bleach now and Azamax before entering the house again. I'll use water with bleach for the inside surfaces, and peroxide and alcohol the carpets. I can buy Azamax in two weeks and this is just the...

Folks... I should have bought something else rather than neem oil. Anyway, all plants, clones included, are burned in the wood stove. Now before I sprout a single seed I want to kill every vestige of scale bugs in my house. Assuming scale bugs have to eat plants. There is nothing in...

Fellow Growers, I bought Neem oil and sprayed it on my Satori for scale. I looked at the plants with my glasses on and with a magnifying glass. Then seeing the extent of the infestation, decided that I would kill the scale on two of the four Satori mothers by fire. I 'scissored two of them...

I tried a hit or two of Gorilla Glue the other day and was impressed with it. I see why it is so popular. Where can I buy a pack of seeds, {other than in California?} Thank you...

The biggest and most beautiful tops, cured in paper sacks, got a little mold! Crop before last was dried a little too much. So the last crop I put in grocery store sacks, after hanging a few days. Sacks not too full and just folded over at the top. I jared it up today and found 5% of the buds...

Fellow Growers, My clones have been doing poorly. Finally, I realized that it is wintertime! I put the heating pad under the cloner and they are already happier. Luckily, the only strain from outside the U.S... I have kept four plants as 'backup'. There are only four Oregon Grown OG...

Fellow Growers, I had neglected to replace my 400w bulb for 20 months! Now with a new bulb, {and despite scale...} I just harvested a crop of giant, heavy buds. Beautiful they are. I am learning... {thats the most important thing.} Now its scale... {Its always something.} I'll...

Its the day before harvest and scale is back! Should I trash all my soil? Or let it sit in the freezer for 3 days? Poet... ...

Fellow Growers, My clones are fine until I plant them in soil. Then a few of them have their leaves shrivel up and the plants die...? Does leaving plants once planted in dirt, in the light 24 hours {like a clone} cause this problem? ...Or... is my old, used soil the problem...

Fellow Growers... The clone mother of my new 'Sour Bubble' strain is about ready to clone. I've always been worried about 'Mold' but I intend to find out if Sour Bubble at 100% Indica, is grow-able here in southern Spain. Not being able to afford a dehumidifier, maybe less plants...

Fellow Growers, I have a new strain, Bogs Sour Bubble I drowned all the seeds but one... but I'm sure it is a female. Well, as sure as it is possible to be without flipping 'her/it'. This plant has the strongest stem, and the biggest leaves I have ever seen. Little branches are...

Fellow Growers, I harvested, trashing the one plant which had the scale real bad and all the stems, on the burn pile. Two others had a little scale on the stem but buds were fine. All my remaining plants, little ones, clone mothers, and the next crop are perfect! There is no scale...

Fellow Growers, Having watered my 9 Satori the day before, I harvested by leaving the plants, pots and all in the dark closet till 4-5 the next day. I took the most 'autumnly' looking one out first and it had slimy bumps all over the stalk and stems. I could rub them off but it made...

Greetings growers, My last attempt to sprout a new strain of seeds was a disaster. I was heart broken. 100% of them died! I knew sprouting seeds is not that difficult as I have grown a big garden for 50 years. I haven't sprouted seeds in a long time though... or I am just getting too...
