    what is your favorite germination method?…and why

    Hello again, I’m germinating again, and want to see if there is a better way. In the past, I’ve used paper towels & it worked very well. I stopped due to the possible problem of having the sprouts grow into them. Then, I have now used the water in the glass method…..I’m not sure, but think I’m...

    Can I reuse last year’s soil?

    I’ve been getting new soil every year ….I tried reusing it once, mixing it with nutrients & it didn’t work well at all…. but, getting new soil yearly is making for a big pile of it. I really don’t like to waste things, so been meaning to ask…. Can I reuse last year’s? & if so, what can I do...

    Ants….. nothing working!

    I posted recently about ants killing my plants. Well, I tried Cinnamon corn meal (actually did the best) Diatomaceous earth I started with 33 plants. four are completely dead. Another 2-3 have the buds now dying. And the rest are ready for the trash heap. This is my 8th year growing. dealt...

    Heat, ants = dead & dying plants

    Husband is getting today. Hope tomorrow isn’t too late. By the time he gets home, it’ll be about 106-7 degrees, I can’t go out when it’s that hot due to illness.

    Heat, ants = dead & dying plants

    Sounds good, however we have livestock, wild animals (including raccoons, which ‘ate’ two last year), so we have an electric fence with chicken or similar fencing material 3 f up to keep them all out. The 33 plants I started with take up all the room. No place to move them :|. thanks for the...

    Heat, ants = dead & dying plants

    I looked for other pests & none found. I read about the Aphids I think, however nothing found. So, I’ll try the Diatomaceous dust. Thank you all for your suggestions :)

    Heat, ants = dead & dying plants

    I think I’ve messed up totally this time! We’ve had 100-108 temps every day since late June. It robbed the plants of Potassium & I tried Fox Farm Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom. Only found after lots of searching that the heat causes loss of Potassium. So,st trying. Any suggestions would be great...

    Spots on leaves….unable to find this one

    I have other leaves showing classic magnesium deficiency. I added Magnesium last week. Not sure if any more have that. This never looked like that. It started with the very black spots in the center vein. I use tap water (it is low in chemicals, thank goodness). We’re in the country. OH, I...

    Spots on leaves….unable to find this one

    Decarb buds smoked in vaporizer to use for hash, tincture…

    My nephew, who’s in the cannabis industry , told me I could reuse bud smoked with the vape for edibles, etc. I had been tossing it after I “smoked “ it. My question is: Do I need to decarb it before using? thanks

    Is curing necessary if vaping?

    Thanks, yes I decarb my weed before I make my RSO for my capsules ;) . I’ve tried bubble hash & that was a messy business! I’m thinking of trying the dry ice ….but the ‘Long Covid’ got in my way of learning anything. I’ve been practically a vegetable this last 9+ months with this nasty stuff...

    Is curing necessary if vaping?

    Sounds very familiar. I’ve been sober for almost 38 years now…. Way too much booze. I smoke for nausea and take hash capsules to sleep…unfortunately I got Chronic Fatigue Syndrome when I was 30 and it cut me down fast. I’ve been housebound since I was 38. they forcibly retired me…gone was the...

    Is curing necessary if vaping?

    Love my Volcano too. I couldn’t give up my weed, so found a way :D. Even makes trimming easier. I used to trim my buds almost as nice as the dispensaries (drove my husband crazy. He didn’t want to work that hard!) Now I just trim off the fan leaves and I’m done. Wow, so much faster. This is my...

    I’m so old, we didn’t even have flavors ;) …. Weed was always $10 a lid (ounce) and we did have Alcapulco Gold and a few others (old age & Long covid wiped my. Memory :(… ),but there were one or two others now that I think of it. interesting to think about it. Been awhile

    Is curing necessary if vaping?

    One more thing (I ’talk’ way too much…especially now)… so, y’all think vaping tastes better! WOW. I’m an old…and I mean old :p hippie from the ‘60s…the 1960s… and we used to wrap our weed in rolling papers! It tasted great. I really miss that taste. Bet it wouldn’t taste that good anymore...

    Is curing necessary if vaping?

    oh, thanks. I’ve been in the “Twilight Zone” with Long Covid. It’s like nothing I’ve ever been through. It stole my mind and I don’t know if I’ll ever get it all back again. Nothing is as it seems….wish it was as good as an old fashioned acid trip ;) , but no. Just some things that don’t seem...
