    Soil question

    I understand that a 60% top soil and 20% coco and 20% perlite works well. They sell coco/perlite 70/30 mix at HD. If I use 60% top soil and the remaining with the 70/30 mix will that be OK? Thanks.

    Should I break up colas?

    Getting ready to harvest some Power Plant sativa plants. They have some heavy kolas, it would seem that they would dry/cure better if I broke them up. Thought anyone? Thanks

    How cold can it get?

    Hi I have a Malawi x Panama sativa, it's huge (8 ft) but it is slow to flower. I'm in the Boston area and I'm concerned about a freeze before it's ready. How cold can it get before it kills the plant? Thanks

    Questions on trimming and fertilizer

    Hi: I have some tall sativas that are just starting to bud. I want to trim unneeded leaves but I am not sure how far to go in the trimming. Also, I have some Foxfarm Big Bloom and also some Neptune Harvest Fish and Seaweed Fertilizer. Which is best? Both are a year old, can I still use them?

    A little help

    I am looking for a web site to buy some seeds. Can anyone recommend an outfit that will take credit cards and ship to the US? Also, I have grown two small crops on the same soil, should I add something to the soil? I already work in some hardwood ash. Thanks
