I have used BC Seedking, and they are legit. I ordered I think 3 times, and they always throw in a couple extra beans, and my germination rates were always extremely high. THe packaging was discrete too--kind of funny, my last order actually was an el-cheapo Ipod case, complete with an...

Hey folks, Well it seems like the wicked hot weather this summer was good for something--and that is growing some tobacco! I never thought about Wisconsin as being a real 'baccy growing region, but it turns out that I met several locals that are really in to it. I made a lot of mistakes this...

I'm an avid composter (and "regular" gardener). For things to decompose and really "cook" it actually takes a lot of nitrogen. That's why you layer "greens" and "browns" to make it happen. The only serious source of nitrogen you have is the compost/manure mix. And I'm guessing what they...

Hey thanks Mutt! I'll see if I can search it up. Should be an interesting project. Off to a little rough start, but hopefully I can recover.

At prices pushing $7/pack, on a whim I bought and started about 100 plants. A farmer/neighbor was good enough to disk in my patch (sandy soil--but it served on and off as a horse pasture/grass lands). I should have had this whole thing planned out last year already. I just got the seeds...

Hi Guys, I have about 60 little tobacco seedlings (that I started about a month late:o ) that I'm planning to put in the ground once they get another inch or two taller. My soil is fairly sandy, but spent some time as a horse pasture/grass land so it has halfway-good fertility. I got the...

Good deal--I think this is going to work out well

Do any of the commercial animal repellents work? I'm a little concerned about the critters too (my first outdoor season). I was doing a little reading, and some home-grown repellants are made from cayanne pepper, beer, pee... I wish I could go with Mutt's solution--.22 or 12 gauge. But...

Thanks! I was hoping that would work--it would also help me to shave about 6" off of the initial height of things, making them a bit easier to hide.

I have another 2 weeks before I'm going to put my girls outdoors. The problem is that i have them in big styrofoam cups, and they are getting leggy and pot-bound. For the sake of transporting them to my plot, I definitely want to keep them in the small pots, even if they are overgrown. Can...

I'm with Hemp Goddess. I would check an online daylight-calculator and figure out what the hours of daylight are for your planting date. I kind of screwed up and started my seeds under 24 hour light, then switched them directly to 14 hours to get them ready for outdoors. But I think I may...

I was reading on here about transplanting to outdoors. I should have probably done that before I started these seeds! I have some BC Early Skunk going, and they have been on 18 hours of light, now about 4 weeks old. But I forgot to consider that on my planting date, there are 14.1 hours of...

Thanks! I'm a little concerned now that I'm already flushing them--they look ilke they are well on the way to being completely out of nutes. I may give them a gentle little boost of guano tea and some mollasses, although at this stage in the game it might be too late to make much of a...

I'm growing a hybrid that I've been playing with over the years. It's a Northern lights x Haze crossed with Super Skunk, and back crossed with NLxH. The plants are short and stocky--real sturdy build, nice and bushy. Anyway, they are now 9 full weeks in to flower (12/12). The plants are in...

we were thinking of trying and auto strain, but I already have a few hundred dollars worth of seeds from my indoor work. It might either be an autoflower, or even some thing like "BC Early Skunk". A local guy told me it finishes in time.

Oh man--Wisconsin is STILL nuts over the Pack. We were hoping that with clones, they would be put out already at full sexual maturity, and in theory they could finish in time (ie mid/late Sept.). So I would grow them under HPS for a good month at 18hr/day, put them out some time in May...

my uncle and I are kicking around putting a few well-rooted clones out on his farm this summer. The problem is-we live in WI! The spring frost date you can plan on pretty well, but you never know how soon you get frost in the fall. Anyone have experience in this region? Rough estimates for...

well, I just put my NLxH under a wimpy little 30W CFL. I think it should be enough to keep a little photosynthesis going for a week or two. I made some little collection sheets out of bits mylar left over from covering the walls--nice and smooth so it should be easy to collect plenty.

Thanks 420! I read something about doing that--letting the male ripen in a glass of water instead of on the plant. One guy had a clever idea. You would poke the branch through a hole in a plastic cup, and then in to water. That way when the pollen dropped it would fall in to the cup. The...

Ok, I set my crop to 12/12 last weekend, and now they are JUST starting to show there gender. I have one very nice NLxH male that responded beautifully to LST and topping, so I'm thinking I would like to cross that times my new God Bud (what the heck? I have both of them going, it would be a...
