Easy & Cheap Greenhouses For Summer

20110412-112605.jpg

Aloha friends and thumbs back with a little info for you outdoor farmers. Lowes and Home Depot are now stocking and selling easy erectable greenhouses. Price ranges from $89 for a 4×4 flowerhouse to a 6×8 ranging at $200. If you go to the garden section and they are sold out order one if you got the space. This is an affordable way to secure and isolate your plants from predators and those unsavory characters meaning to do harm.

This unit was donated to me by a patient and good friend that had to move back to mainland, Michigan he gonna show you how to grow it! Special thanks to Mike G we will miss you buddy!

Mobile Sunrise Sunset Calendar

Aloha friends and thumbs I am back with a little review on a helpful tool offered for iPhone in the App store. Sunrise Sunset lite(free) or pro($0.99)- a free gps based sunrise & sunset calendar to help all you thumbs track the Sun-moon and your day length. A helpful little tool for all you outside growers, this will help one in knowing when to get those summer plants out and not to mention get those last short season plants out for one last harvest, before that long summer. I personally find this App unbelievably useful, cause if not I have to get on Google and find one. This puts each days specifics right in the palm of my hand. The free version is all one really needs.

Catapiller Time In The Islands!

imageAloha friends and thumbs! Just my spring time warning that the Moths and Hawaiian Monarch Butterflies are out in full force. I personally use Safer Caterpillar spray on my outdoor ladies( 10 ml per gallon water), cause if not they would get ravaged. You can spot those little devils by the damage they do. Foliage or leafs will start to have damage a they will eat holes and complete tips of leafs. Also be careful of them curling up in your bud formations, you know they are there if you see little black specs, this their feces as they eat and destroy your buds by taping the stem for water behind tight bud formations. They secret a saliva that keeps the plant from healing the wound as they drink, as the plant continues to bleed water the bud formation will start to mold a purplish Grey mold from inside out (this is always accompanied by those black specs). Unfortunately can’t spray safer in the last weeks of flowering, so having a keen eye will help save your crops. Also a good ohn regimen will help.

**best to spray at night after cool sets in or early morning**

**I personally like 2 hours before sun up, so as my mixture has time to work and evaporation is slow**

Advanced Nutrient

Aloha friends and thumbs I am back with another review and recipe for using canadian fertilizer, Advanced Nutrients. Advanced Nutrient can be confusing if your not ready for it, but the do make it easier on a first time grower with an online nutrient calculator on their www.advancednutrient.com which breaks down your mixing needs very precisely. With the addition to the local growing stores New Age Agriculture has opened in the Pearl City area, which specializes in Advanced Nutrient Basic 2 part Sensi lines and their higher end line Conissuer and all their additives. Also now Kahala Hydro is carrying Advanced line of nutrients. I personally only use the Sensigrow 2 part and Sensibloom 2 part, along with my compost teas.

** as of late I have gone back to CES 6 part for my veg fertilizer with teas**

As for smart nutrients I like Advanced, but personally I would never spend on all their additives when I make teas. Nor would I spend on conissuer line no matter what some says it supposed to do. I have had the products some good and some just as bad as my worst grow done with Bigfoot. The best line I have sampled from conissuer was a master kush, tasted just the same as my pure organic compost tea feeding, and I yielded more or less about the same. To each his own, someone once said. With that do realize that advanced 2 parts are very reasonably priced and will work good with manure based soil mixes, bought from walmart, homedepot or lowes.

Home Made Trim Box

Aloha friends back again with a little help. There are machines now that help do all the work and ultimately the price is worth it cause harvests and trimming can be a long drawn out process. This what I did for $80 and some imagination without over spending $500 to $2,000.

Where do I get seeds?

Aloha friends I am back to give advise on purchasing seeds or genetic online. With the option now of buying good seeds online one must know who are the reputable seed banks. First thing is check if you are dealing with a seed bank that ships to the US, then it doesn’t hurt to look at a few review sites. As for me I have had a few horror stories in ordering seeds, but it is usually cause my favorites are not selling the strain I would like. But easy here is my top 5 online seed banks or portals worth using.

1. Attitude seeds
2. Nirvana seeds
3. Amsterdam marijuana seed bank
4. Greenhouse seeds
5. Sensi seeds

O.H.N.- Oriental Herbal Nutrient

Aloha friends back again to talk about OHN or Oriental Herbal Nutrients. What is an OHN? OHN is a fermented herbal extract which is alive with effective indigenous microorganisms beneficial for organic gardens. Why do we use OHN? One can use certain organic materials fermented down and then use them as nutrients and plant antibiotics for many diseases and even used as an organic pesticide. Neem oil is a type of OHN, Pest Out is a garlic based Over the Counter OHN, and I will focus for cannabis on using a garlic and coriander based OHN combination. Now remember OHN should be fed to the soil and used in a follicular feed regimen. There are many recipes, so here are some I find to have good effects. I was once told by a great farmer that a true organic farmer uses anything in ones environment to create what is needed. If you have a good healthy strong plant that is pest & disease resistant, one can adhere some of those characteristics and beneficial indigenous microorganisms through a fermenting process and then administered to create new plant antibiotics and sheens. Not to mention the waste off beneficial microorganisms is an ammoniacal nitrogen, again Root Excelarator. So here are some of the recipes I work with, but feel free to use ingredients that are in your environment. Only use it on 1 plant at first to record plant reactions over a week period to see if you have created a good OHN.

Dr. Chronic is a NO

Aloha friends I am posting to today on an unfortunate online seed order that has still not been fully filled. Well as many medical marijuana patient do I ordered seeds online, from a seed bank for new strains and new potency levels of genetics for my own mixing purposes. Normally I would order through Attitude Seeds or Nirvana Seeds but I was looking for some strains I could not get through my usual sites, so unfortunately I ordered seeds through Dr. Chronic.
