Bagging the hole

karlis — Fri, 14 Jun 2002 00:00:00 -0700

I live in an area where my outdoor bush garden needs to be irrigated throughout the summer. To save water, I placed a garbage bag at the bottom of each hole I dug to add good soil for my plants. I reasoned that the water and nutrients won't simply drain right through the bottom of the holes. I think it will limit root growth to about a foot deep, but the roots' horizontal growth is unlimited.

Caterpillar kill

karlis — Wed, 26 Jun 2002 00:00:00 -0700

I have plants outdoors. They started flowering about four weeks ago and have been doing well until recently; I noticed a bud that looks dead. It was dry and discolored. I found a small caterpillar on another bud. It was camouflaged and looked just like a leaf. Do I have a bug problem? If so, what can I use on the plants to get rid of them?

Do clones lose potency after a few generations or after stress?
Big Bud Mama

The potential of a plant is determined by its genetics. Unlike seeds, clones are virtually exact genetic duplicates of the plants from which they are taken.

Although there is a slight genetic drift over many generations of cloning, this phenomenon occurs very slowly.

Late planting

karlis — Mon, 24 Jun 2002 00:00:00 -0700

I live in northern Texas. I am planning to plant some seeds in containers around July 15, to plant in the ground in the middle of August. If I keep them in containers I could control the flowering cycle by shading them daily. Or I could just put them in some fertile soil out in the pasture with tomato cages for support. I don't have any neighbors. Is it worth trying?

I am planning to grow in Alaska. My main concern is the long number of hours of daylight in the summer. At the solstice, June 22, there are about 21 hours of light. It decreases at the rate of 5 minutes a day. I was thinking of starting indoors for three weeks under continuous light and then inducing a head start on flowering by changing their light regimen to 12/12 on/off for a week.
