Yeah, I think our modern obsession with chemicals is related to our need to control nature and feel superior to it. Just look at the neat little totally unnatural way we plant out crops in perfect lines. Again, thank you so much for all the info. I've taken some chem and botany, so I love the...

Thanks, that's really reassuring, I think my experience with tomatoes has already helped with starting the plants and such. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to learn a new plant's "language", but it honestly seems so far like mj is way more forgiving than some flowers, for example. Guess the...

Yeah, I've already got the hay (guess you could consider it pre-horse shit) so I'm gonna give that a shot. The one advantage of growing in this area is that there's not much of a slug or snail problem. Damn short growing season though (hence the indicas). Also, how long are slugs and snails and...

Thanks for the tips Ecompost, and yeah, the guy who owns the land will probably be checking on them about every other day. He's a pretty experienced grower of other things, but I'm still trying to set it up so that he doesn't have to do much. Honestly, I was practically raised on my uncle's farm...

Pretty new to the growing thing, but I think you could use Everclear or other high proof alcohol and make a tincture with it. Did that with some of my friend's iffy bud last year and it was fine. The alcohol kills everything.

Also, if anyone is interested, here's my makeshift as all hell sprouting setup. I pop them in paper towels (there are a few seeds in the plates on the seedling mat). Then, I put them in Cowpots with some peat, perlite, and compost. I really love cowpots, they're made from pressed organic cow...

Thanks a ton GT21. That's sort of what I'm doing, a first year grow to try to get the hang of it, and then I'll modify as needed next year. Still be nice to get a decent yield though. Wow, that's pretty incredible, way high ph and it still produced. I guess like the guy who gave me the local...

Honestly, I was thinking about drilling a few tiny holes along the bottom edges of a few 50 gal drums and placing them between my plants and filling with water and tea ingredients as needed so they drip really slowly. I've done that for veggies and it worked really well. Think that would work...

Oh cool, I'm in western Mass, in the Berkshires. I'm doing outdoors. Started them indoors in the beginning of march though, so they'll have a nice headstart. Oh, I'm also doing a super basic indoor autoflower grow. I just threw two free autoflower beans in 5 gal buckets with compost and horse...

So damn nice. I know at least at least a dozen people who are growing for the first time this year.

Not exactly water all the way through, but minimal maintenance. Don't exactly have room for an outdoor grow where I'm at, so my friend (who has a large property) is letting me grow on his land. I'll be able to come check it every other week or so, as it's a bit of a drive to his land. That's...

Awesome, thanks! Haven't heard of using rice hulls actually, I'm assuming it aerates the soil like perlite? There's actually a local brown rice grower literally 5 minutes from my place. I'll stop in, he might have some he could spare. So you would put the hay on after transplanting into the...

Oh, I'm also growing a strain I got from a local dude. He's been growing in this area for about thirty years, and its a crazy potent and hardy strain. He's combined several different strains over the decades and every year he picks out the biggest females to produce seed. Good stuff, wish I knew...

So, total noob here, growing for the first time in Mass (newly legal). Got so much valuable info on here, sprouted seeds with paper towel method and am now hardening them in a small greenhouse (I've grown lots of veggies and other stuff). Anyway, I spent all day digging 4 thirty gallon holes...

First time grower in Mass, planning on putting in Afghan Kush, Monster Profit, White Widow, and a strain I got from a cool older dude who's been growing here for the last thirty years (he's named the strain after the town we're in, it's some pretty hardy and potent stuff and grows like mad here).
