Anybody have any knowledge on using Russian Sage?
you now make me unsure on what I've found, the plants haven't really stung me, all it's done is make me itchy and burny when I rubbed it on my upper arm, but nothing to the hand area. I'm just going to have to wait till they bloom to be 100.

Just finished 20 gallons of dandelion FPE, my first ever FPE. looking forward to giving it a go tomorrow.
. BTW, the pics of your HG buds were phenomenal!
Hey jaykush, I've got some yarrow fpe going, just strained it today after about a week in a bucket. Smells great, hear you can use it for a hair rinse and that's pretty exciting.
But mainly I did this for my herb plants. There are like a dozen or more mentions of yarrow in this thread, but the post I'm looking for eludes me: I think you wrote once that "yarrow is for flower"--is that right? At the same time, it's supposed to have (plant growth) stimulating properties, right? Would you use it during veg?
Thanks dude.

heard from where you can use it as a hair rinse? i dont know if id use the FPE on my hair. but i do use infusions on my hair, basically boiling the plant material in water. nettle infusion works great as a hair conditioner,.
yarrow can be used as a general all around, i find the best time for it is in the transition from veg to flower, and early flower along with comfrey. it also depends if you made it from just blooms,just leaves, both, with roots, etc...

It's about 3 weeks old, but has been in my shed, and it has been in the 50's at night here. It is starting to decompose, and it stinks pretty bad, and has a little white fungus on the top.
So your saying the ph is of no consequence? Scrappy
I'm not sure where I first read about the hair rinse thing, but a lot of sites tout it, mainly for oily hair and hair loss, neither of which is a particular problem for me. But one person also says she uses it in her apple cider vinegar hair rinses for shine and detangling.
Yeah, I don't know if an FPE of it would be the same, we'll see. I didn't use any LAB culture on it, but that's probably not going to stop lots of stuff from happening. Hopefully not stinky stuff, so far it smells good.
I harvested the stems from just a few inches above the ground, then crushed and broke up the stems and flowers after they dried a bit. So, no roots and no leaves.
jaykush, care to break down what's good in the different parts of the yarrow plant?
Thanks for the tips on when to use it, too.
Ahh good ole thujone!
If its good enough to fix up Achillies heel its good enough for me
Will yarrow regrow from rootstock or it needs to seed?
