All of my hydrangeas bloomed except Bobo, little quick fire & Zinfin Doll. Lime lights, heartthrobs, Quick fire's, Endless Summer hydrangeas and the older hydrangeas are all blooming.

I think that cold blast we had (NY) in late April stunted them :dunno:


Bobo, little quick fire & Zinfin Doll all grow on new and old wood too.

how much do you water it?
are you watering the base or top?

I got an irrigation system for my garden, that waters at the base. Everyday it get about a min worth of water plus the smart scheduling I use. I am pretty sure it is a soil issue. I need to get a soil test done and amend it based on that.

Mulch will help retain moisture as well as enrich the soil as it decomposes.
You'll want to refresh it twice a year.

in addition to mulch- try to pack potting soil and some egg shells a few inches deep around the base

all hydrangeas are very thirsty - so try longer watering time - 2x day -early morning & late afternoon / dusk

Twice a year?

Sounds a bit redundant. No?
nah
for food we did compost and mulch late autumn at a shallow depth
and in the spring when we would turn over top soil

for perennials - compost late fall - mix of top soil and mulch in spring or limestones if xtra sun light was needed

It's great, it's a stress reliever. Me and my family are always planting flowers in the flower pot every year that we get from the flea market and farmers market in the spring and summer.

Damn this thread has been going strong for four years.
A lot of good info here, too. I posted earlier in this thread that due to my soil nutrients I had two plants that were 8 feet tall!

Unfortunately they were both male, but still. When have you ever seen an 8 foot weed plant before blooming! I was into something. Too bad I can't ID female seeds from male seeds

Never got around to smoking it. I don't smoke often at all because I sing. That's the fucked up thing about it.

I did find some that they missed and smoked that. It's a very smooth indica.

But I didn't get to finish the batch that I improved my feeding and watering process. I think that's more disappointing than my felony

Hell, if they would have waited about a week I would have cut down 24 plants (the males and hybrids) and only had 12 not 36. But hey.. the only reason I grew so much was because I knew the majority would be males (useless).

I tried to do a indoor herb garden by my windows they all still died
There is a great number of possible reasons they didn't survive. Check how much light, water and fertilizer they were getting. The humidity, and temperature they were exposed to also has a huge impact. The soil or other medium they were growing in as well as the container, on and on.

I did my research and got some plants that didn't need direct sunlight and only followed the watering guides. I didn't use fertilizers though.

if using small pots with 6 inches or less depth - egg shells are good - no need for potting soil and fertilizer

You don't get high from seeds.
Is it legal to buy marijuana seeds?

Marijuana seeds are considered a cannabis product just like flower, edibles, and concentrates. Their legality depends on which state you live in. People living in states with adult-use legalization can buy, produce, and sell seeds within their own state, but seeds can’t cross state lines. People living in states with medical marijuana legalization can only buy seeds if they have a medical card.


Seed banks exist outside of the US and can sell them for “souvenir purposes,” but it is illegal to bring seeds into the US and Customs will seize any cannabis seeds they find in packages or on a person.

An update on laws that affect buying weed seeds

In April 2022, the DEA released a letter clarifying the legality of cannabis seeds. A lawyer wrote the DEA, arguing that because a cannabis seed itself contains less than 0.3% THC, they should be considered hemp, which was legalized in 2018.


The lawyer’s argument was that the material itself—the seed—was less than 0.3% THC, whereas the law has always considered weed seeds illegal because they will turn into a cannabis plant that will have more than 0.3% THC.


The DEA wrote back to the lawyer agreeing, and saying that if a marijuana seed contains less than 0.3% THC, it is not a controlled substance.


However, the letter from the DEA is an “official determination” and not law. The legality of buying and transporting cannabis seeds across state lines is still murky, but the DEA’s position does pave the way for more relaxed laws on weed seeds.

Even plants that don't need direct sunlight require sufficient indirect light. Also potted plants will need to be fertilized at some point because they'll eventually deplete the nutrients initially in the soil. Also temp, humidity, pathogens, toxins, etc...

Especially those DAs in some red cac states. :hmm:
Man, they were coming out to me like I was Pablo fucking Escobar. It was crazy. I ain't never been so terrified in my life. All I was doing was growing it, and I wasn't even smoking and I was just trying to see if I could do it

So just got done overseeding my lawn. I finally got to use my Landzie compost spreader to put down Peat Moss. Bought about 6 bags and that still wasn't enough. I put the peat moss down where it needed it most in my shade areas (used a shade perennial Ryegrass) that have quite a few bare spots
