Smooooth. Tranquilo. Silky smooth in fact

I was taught that trichomes mature on sugar leaves before they do inside the bud, which is hopefully what we’re mostly smoking or vaping. To accurately examine, cut a tiny cross section of calyx so you can put the bud interior under the microscope. Check those trichs for amber. However to...

Overwatered. Might make it

As your skills grew, your grow room evolved into a tidy, efficient space. Nice work! @W81 sorry I partly jacked your topic. Do what feels best re soil v other methods. I’m sticking with aeroponic for my mini lemon tree for now because she grows so quickly! But I’ll put her in dirt and let...

There’s soil. And there’s better soil. Many people do it far better than I, which is an organic multi ingredient compost soil blend, amended a little with quality food, perlite, and then mostly leave it alone. I use an ocean formula food made of lobster, crab, kelp, and much more. My cats try...

I stand corrected, sir, though I did disclaim ‘nearly’. Indoors they require daily attention, if only a minute to peek in on them. My outdoor crop, which isn’t pretty by dispensary standards, is pretty damn good and very tasty, and it is truly neglected. I’ve promised myself to do better next...

Soil is the easiest. Nearly: plant, neglect, harvest. Cons: slower growth and typically lesser yields than other methods Pros: flavor, ease of growing, ease of growing, flavor, ease of growing, complex flavors. Glad I made you laugh earlier, W. Though you’re not a film fan, I’ll mention...

Regardless of the specie, whether plant or animal, anomalies typically aren’t as hearty as their less exotic cousins. Don’t expect a 50% increase in yield. Yes 50. 2+1=3. 1 is 50% of 2. I suck at math and I’m stoned but that’s basic enough for even me

Are you familiar with the film work of Sigourney Weaver?

Baby plants need to be kept moist, not wet, and that’s it. Overthinking not required.

Professional horticulturalists recommend pruning 20-40% at a time for best results. Cannabis is particularly resilient and can recover from extreme defoliation, but maybe give her a break, eh. Stress can contribute to trichome and cannabinoid production, but how much is too much? We’re still...

Training is a much debated topic. Which method and when and how long to wait before doing something again ??? It is daunting to consider. Fortunately plants bounce back from our wise or misguided efforts to assist growth. We know any kind of cutting creates some stress from which the plant...

YIKES! I use lobster, crab and kelp! Hopefully heavy metals fall out with ash during combustion, and because I run my vape thru a bubbler it should catch metals in the water. For edibles I understand the concern. But that’s an eye opener. Thanks @Rasta Roy

I never intended my analogy to be scientific. And ranchers do often finish their cattle on grass in lieu of grain specifically for flavor. But more importantly, wow, that is frightening about organic growers failing heavy metals tests. It sounds like it speaks to that we are inundated with...

High Times recently posted a piece in which a blind taste test suggested flushing isn’t required for taste. But common sense suggests it’s a good idea to rinse your clothes before you dry and wear them. Who knows what flavorless toxins we are ingesting when we smoke unflushed weed? I will...

Disguised as off topic and thoroughly fun, you provide great advice in a light hearted manner. I congratulate you for writing such a novel post! Dismiss those who don’t appreciate talent. Their opinions are meaningless. The wake behind a boat... doesn’t affect where it’s going

OP, you’ve received sound advice from accomplished growers, and yet the advice conflicts. This is why we have chocolate AND vanilla. I like my steak rare medium rare. You may prefer yours more well done. Or be vegan. As a novice grower you have no frame of reference yet for what maturity level...

@RangiSTaxi has provided us the most succinct explanation for why small plants in oversized pots often grow slowly. I always marvel when buying tomato plants how a 16” tall plant is thriving in a 2” cup!! Another reason for slow growth can be root temperature. Roots at 60o grow much slower...
