I'm definitely still lying, being I'm in Texas... this state is fuckin retarded when it comes to weed

In places it's fully regulated, it still has a lot of undiscussed and
unresolved crap. It's taxed up the wazoo in some places, for smoke
that PGR weed makes up a significant amount of some suppliers.

I don't care if you use PGR's, but others might. I avoid it when I can.
That kind of stuff, the warnings people have shown on the labels too...
From the packaged flowers, to the actual plant food bottles..
Another thing is just, I personally don't really care for that smoke quality.
But it's better than nothing?

Makes me think about the theories I've heard where maybe it's not the
flower itself, or smoke even, but possibly the butane, the rolling-papers burning
or that type of plant food that makes it more dangerous(?) to burn and consume


Some places lowered the amount available on the market, but they're still available.
Plus it heavily taxes the flower bud's natural beauty in my opinion.
It's sorta like the ai of the plant-fertilizer world

Man I gotta get seeds of Runtz or G-Runtz, to share! XD
I'll figure something out. I miss posting here!

Topped everything 4th to 5th time today.


I also started some stinging nettle compost tea. I don’t see it mentioned often, but it’s high in nutrients, improves growth, health, ect, and unlike bottled nutrients it’s free and dead easy to make.

---

I used to make nettle tea/ferments for my plants where I used to live & grow, portions of my backyard were loaded with nettles (Sometimes I'd toss in some other fast growing spring "weeds" too, like chickweed, cleavers, & mallow...I'd also make a few batches of a nettle tea for myself to drink as a springtime "tonic" of sorts ).

How do you go about making your nettle tea? Just passively letting the plant material sit & soak & "brew" in a bucket or do you aerate or add anything else to the mix?...

I may do a few teas and start making & using LAB again this time around.

I topped a few of my plants for the first time a couple days ago, as well as bending one plant towards the north to keep it a bit short & more bushy in structure.


I'm going to be using that "Knotweed" extract, Reynoutria Sachalinensis, this summer. I found a cheaper brand than Marrone's product "Regalia" with the same extract in it. I'm curious to see if I notice any difference in the vigor the plants have, and if it lessens issues with pm/mold/fungi. I'm also going to be using the bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens this time around. I've heard good things about both of them, stoked to finally give them a try.

I use Glomus species of endomycorrhiza on the rootball when transplanting the baby plants into their big pots, I often wonder though how much those fungi are actually colonizing/forming connections with the roots.




Happy solstice y'all

Funny you mention Regalia cuz I just ordered some today, finally. I am also curious to see how this works, it certainly isn’t cheap but I already see powdery mildew starting to take over clovers and things like that so I think it might be a bad year for it where I’m at. What was the name of the product you ended up finding and that was cheaper? I’ve also heard good things about using chitosan with the Reynoutria Sachalinensis; I might pick some of that up as well.

The nettle tea that I make are just chopped up nettle plants in a bucket with water held down by a rock; I usually let that sit for a week or so. It’s good stuff! I don’t do anything fancy any more like aeration etc. theres probably ways of improving, but honestly this works well enough for my purposes.




Also found a bunch of Entomophthora infected flies on my plants today which I thought was kind of cool
