Only two of a buch of seeds that sprouted ended up surviving. One started flowering pretty early on, despite getting the exact amount and schedule of light as the other one (they shared a pot). The other kept growing taller then died without any signs of flowers. ...
So I'm going to get some free raised garden beds and I'm broke. I'll be getting them mid-summer, I know I can get my hands on free horse manure, and I want to do this on a shoestring budget so here's what I was thinking: ...
The economy is fucked and it's gonna get worse. You might live in a food desert right now or the food desert might expand to where you are living. Getting started on growing your own vegetables seems like it's really difficult and requires a lot of know-how and a whole lot of the right things - the right soil, the right amount ...
I posted this about a month ago asking you guys for help, and I got so much more than I expected! Since then, I changed the soil, the lighting 'strategy' and the watering regime/practice. ...
The dreaded day has come. Our landlord ended the contract of everyone in the building a few months ago due to a large renovation and I definitely wasn't happy about it, because we only got to live here for a few years and moved in on the premise that we can live here a long long time. So I got all these houseplants with the idea ...
I love growing weed! I smoke maybe 4 times a year, but I find it to be such a fun plant to grow. Even if you find it hard to keep house plants alive, it's such an easy plant to grow (it grows like a weed)! It can cost a little bit to get going, but craigslist/facebook marketplace can get you going for only ~$200. ...

All my plants die after they start growing and I don't know why. I've tried controlling every factor that I can although without a thermometer, higrometer, pH measuring etc. I even have a shitty microscope that I try to analyse the sick parts, but I can't find any reliable resources on how to actually interpret what I'm seeing. ...
Got this guy as a cutting from my dad. The original plant was my grandmothers who grew these huge monsteras in big vats that were built next to large windows in their petty bougie house. They were like trees. ...
Last year the critters ate like all but one of the fruit. This year my tree finally exploded with fruit, I won’t be able to get it all off the tree. I’m gonna freeze a few pounds of arils and throw them into my smoothies all year.
Does anybody have some tips for growing lavender? My girlfriend desperately wants to grow some and can’t even get it to germinate in soil. I alsohave an indoor hydroponic system and we’ve tried it in the aerogarden as well with no luck.
So I bought 20 strawberry plants a few months ago from someone in town and decided to do some experiments. I planted some in soil, some I put in my outdoor hydroponic NFT system, and these four I plopped into two of my indoor tabletop hydroponic DWT systems. ...
Some of the leaves on this jade are getting kinda wrinkly and losing their springiness, I definitely don’t think it’s being underwatered. Any ideas? It’s not in the sunniest spot is that maybe the issue?
