    What do you wish you had known earlier?

    I wish I’d known girls are as horny as guys. Sorry, that’s not grow related, unless ... if we’re bending the rules of the definition...

    What Training Method?

    I don’t believ in extra work just to keep busy, or for symmetry’s sake. I generally do no training or topping even, and I keep lights angled at 10am and 2pm. That way there is no actual canopy, and they grow bushy as nature intended. But if you want to train, consider a flux, which achieves the...

    First Grow... 1 week into flower now

    Haha. Yep. That’s how you do it. I got one pack of 10 seeds in 2012. Turned those into 10,000 seeds since!

    First Grow... 1 week into flower now

    This is not a disaster, so keep calm and grow on. 3 plants yield the same as 1 plant IF you grow them out in the space. You’ve lost nothing really, even though you’re disappointed right now. You have to grow one plant longer than three to equal the yield, but that’s only a couple of weeks more...

    First Grow... 1 week into flower now

    If you’re growing regs and they have balls only, no pistils, then you have males. If they’re showing both that’s hermie. Seeds are expensive, correct? Why not breed your own strain? Commit to it and pollinate her entirely. Or you can isolate one cola, surgically pollinate that one bud, and cover...

    Better than a loupe?

    I have a different brand but nearly identical and it’s good. The below looks great. Considerations for a microscope are a) Is it easy to focus b) is it sharp I had to adapt mine a little to make it better. It’s ok bordering on very good but not superior. I want pictures like @edrosenthal posts...

    Stunted growth? Temps?

    Nothing wrong with those temps. It could be genetic and some don’t stretch a lot. But if there is no stretch then maybe your light is too close. Probably. Move it higher UNTIL they stretch, and then drop it until you find the sweet spot. I like to keep it way high at seedling and just let them...

    Finding a good mom

    Sadly, this is true for just about any seed, any strain, from many breeders. It’s remarkable how quickly we’ve bastardized pure strains. Misnamed on purpose or not, it’s a mess now. Look at any strain and note the % mix posted. Then research that strain with several breeders. Some breeders will...

    Better than a loupe?

    I made it only 12 seconds into that 6 minute video that before exiting. You sound like you’ll selling the product. But in case you’re legit, get a digital microscope

    Hi this my first grow think it's sativa

    Are you indoors? It can be challenging to grow true tropical Sativa indoors. Finicky about temps and need a lot of light. And they like to be rained on. With real Sativa, it’s about quality not quantity. It takes a longer time to grow a plant that yields less than most indicas, but it can be...

    Hi this my first grow think it's sativa

    That would sell! Eventually people would just ask “hey man, you got any turd today? That stuff is the shit!!” Thanks for vouching for Ace and others. Good to know

    Strain and gender

    Hermaphroditism is commonly attributed to stress, but I believe certain landrace (definition varies widely) strains simply develop that way. Grow a bunch and see what you get. If they all herm, then you have a herm strain. Herm weed can be very potent, but has little bag appeal. Good for self...

    Hi this my first grow think it's sativa

    Of course it’s a hybrid. Nearly every seed sold is. Unless you go to Vietnam, Jamaica, Colombia or Africa yourself to collect the seeds, you’re probably growing a hybrid. In the mania to create new strains we’ve screwed ourselves in only a few years.

    How much does your grow cost!!!

    You crush, sir! Love the color of the dirt, the long shadows so we know it’s either early or late in the day. Two guys are shirtless, so we know it’s hot, but not tropical based on the surrounding trees, or desert. And not yet in flower so Mid summer somewhere in America. Beautiful field of...

    2019 grow and harvest report April volunteer seeds from last year popped up on their own in the hoop house. She’s been self propagating since 2017. Light cost: $0. Labor time 0 minutes Mid June culled males that had oddly begun to flower and show themselves with 15 hours of light per day...

    Best Indoor Sativa

    Because they require a lot of light, and vertical space to grow. And they have a narrow ideal temp window. And they can grow for a year. And they like to be rained upon, and that’s difficult to simulate indoors. I’ve grown pure Colombian red, Jamaican, and more recently Train Wreck, a Sativa dom...
