BeerSci: What's The Connection Between Hops And Marijuana? | Popular Science



I was reading about the use of hops plant extract on increasing terpines (potency) in marijuana and the whimsical grafting of cannabis and hops. I think it would be a neat experiment to watch but, I have hops growing in my yard and let me tell ya, it grows several feet per day at times and I believe it would just use the cannabis as a host and the buds would not be good due to the hops sucking all the energy out of it. interesting none the less. But why I'm sharing this in particular, is using cannabis and beer for an extractor to make weed beer. Thought this would be pretty fun!  For shits and giggles, I thought it would be interesting to try using wine or champagne due to it's high alcohol content and I thought maybe the champagne fizz would be beneficial somehow. I could just be stoned though. Smoking on some dank ass Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies...

Recipe to make your own Tangle Foot to trap pests!

http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/market-farming/2008-January/026543.html

here are 3 recipes from McGill University to make your own glue:
  
  Recipe #1: 8 parts of resin en powder, 4 parts of terebenthine, 4 parts flaxseed oil, and ½  a part of honey.
  
  Recipe #2: 16 parts of resin powder, 3 parts de molasses, 3 parts flaxseed oil.
  
  Recipe #3: 3 parts of resin and 1 part cottonseed oil.
  
  For the 3 recipes, bring the mixture to boil. Bring down to a low simmer and stir.
While the mixture is still hot, pour onto some kind of grease resistant surface, that will become your glue traps.

you can also smear this on yellow cardboard folders or plastic to create your own fly traps (I posted a video a while back on how to make your own fly trap using the actual Tangle Foot product.)

I used Nuke Em which worked great! It's not oily so it won't clog your stomata (plant pores similar to our skin) like Neem Oil, no stunted growth, kills aphids and root aphids, powdery mildew and quite a bit else too! Smells great like oranges since it's active ingredient is citric acid.

Grow Weed Easy's Plant Dr & pH Availability of Micronutrients

I haven't tried this yet but I just may soon if I can't get my girls to quit showing signs of rusty brown spots which I thought was a Cal/Mag deficiency. I went out and bought Advance Nutrients Sensi Grow pH Perfect line since the micronutrients are already mixed for you and it really, really, really, does help keep your pH stable. It's supposed to stabilize itself without the use of pH down which I recently learned is salt derived and will show up on your ppm readings so if your ppm's are rising and you are also using a lot of pH down, that may be the case and your water is more salt than fertilizer. I plan on buying lemon juice which will also lower your pH to eliminate this as a issue since I don't use RO water which is what you're supposed to use for perfect pH. I have well water which is 30-80 ppms but Sensi Grow still keeps my pH anywhere from 6.0 to 6.3 instead of the 5.5 as advertised. I'm happy with my results as Calcium and magnesium need at least a 6.0 pH to be absorbed by the plant. Everyone has their idea of what a hydroponic reservoir is supposed to be at and you will hear anything from 5.5 to 6.5 pH but when you look on the micronutrient pH availability chart (Below) then you will see a huge difference between soil and hydro and also, you will find that 5.5 is too low for cal/mag uptake although it is better for NPK ratio. I might try to toy with that come bloom time and see how lowering the pH from 6 to 5.5 affects my bud production and if the cal/mag deficiency comes back.
 

If you're stumped and don't have anyone to turn to, Grow Weed Easy is a great website that provides pics of plants, pests, and anything else that is bringing down your girls. They also have a Plant Dr. where you can send in all of your information and pics and they will diagnosis your plant through email! I was super excited to find this and I hope it helps us all out in our quest for the perfect nugs!
