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**

Aloha friends I am back with some feedback on Cutting Edge Solutions 6 part. Well I tried first to use CES (plant amp, mag amp, uncle johns blend) additives to GH 3 part during flowering and I found that they do not mix well if the plants are not accustomed to this mix. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »
