hasnt been too bad here , if there is a shower you know about it (very heavy) . wouldnt be the warmest either, thin k my out doors growing will finish for a while

 

[MedFarmer]

My girls are still outside the greenhouse as it's still quiet mild here.

I just found this Completely Organic Homemade Insecticide which should interest you as you like making your own formulas.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

will get a look mate , cheers

 

[NuttyProfessor]

had a look at that , i do one almost the same as that only i add a little rubbing alcohol

 

[MedFarmer]

Certainly stinks the house out when it's brewing eh?

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i am a big big fan of chilli and garlic , i grow my own . love a bit of spice in my life

 

[MedFarmer]

I've grown them both too. I grow a lot of veg and fruit in my garden too.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

chopped the two passion down , far too many nanners, i read they do that a lot , i8 wasnt risking wrecking my cheese , i found couple of wee green seeds but no a lot, the pistols were orange so i think they changed their energy to seed production, the buds seemed to just halt stacking . just under 400 grams wet , im not too disappointed for my first real grow . i got 38 grams dry of the first also , im happy with that as it was just full 6 weeks and not 10/14 like some

 

[MedFarmer]

400 grams wet should give you around 80-100 dry mate. Roughly 3-4 ozs. That will certainly save you a few quid.

Well done.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

thanks MF , can only get better lol, im not a greedy guy i take what im given, my cheese is flowering nicely would be a shame to pollinate them by waiting another week on the passion , the stuff i dried smells wicked

I like the unorthodox feeding u got there! Dry milk, is that for cal mag I assume? Seaweed do u just chop it up or let it sit in the water before feeding. I like ur organic approach it really brings out there true flavors. Looks great man nice job

 

[MedFarmer]

I love that period when you bring them in to dry and the whole house stinks of it. What a great air freshener that is.

I've just come in from defoliating my outdoor girls. They are due to be sprayed this weekend so I've cleared out a lot to enable the sprayer to get right into the plant. I've also cleared all the lower growth as it's hard to get the sprayer spraying upside down.

with the seaweed i keep it in a bucket of water (chopped up) for few weeks with some molasses , stir it daily , you will end up with a real slime , strain it into a bottle or jar , dilute one cup per 5 gallon ( watering can ) ,
the baby milk was an experiment , i had multiple issues with my plant the only plant i never put seaweed extract on , i flushed it out and fed it with one scoop of the formula to one litre , i marked the bad leaves with an X and it cured it . I live in the country so getting calmag would have been 3 to 4 days after ordering it .

 

[NuttyProfessor]

as ive said before MF this farming is tough but some of us has got to do it lol

[NuttyProfessor]

glad to hear from you

 

[Blueballavngr]

That awesome I'm all about making my own nutes, I live on the coast across the pond. I use sea weed extract but wasn't sure how the salt would effect it. Thanks for the advice happy grows.

 

[Jsully]

Learning from experience is best.... Il update my journal later

[NuttyProfessor]
