    No question or anything, just excited about my first successful grow

    13 weeks? Dang! I am going with "train wreck" next, but I would love to try some tropicana cookies. That strain is definitely on my list. Excellent thread- gives me ideas on where I can improve on my next run................... I am giving myself a rest after the last one...

    Soil ph test

    I grow in roots organics soil and have been doing so for a few years under HIDs and also quantum board leds lately. These have worked for me from slurrys or by just sticking the probe into the soil. But I doubt it qualifies for the latest science or technology. If they are worthless then I...

    When to harvest CBD rich plants

    I go by trichs since I grow different strains of sativa dominant plants. When trichs are at their peak- they turn cloudy and the plant is still producing resin. at this time, CBD levels are low and stable. Terpene production also peaks now in the floral clusters (buds). Most tend to...

    I could use some help

    Hang in there- you are watching them close and they look to be on track to me. If the gnats and thrips build up more then control may be needed. If they level off or get lower in number then it wont be an issue............... Fungus gnats and thrips are an inconvenience but they are...

    Mar- A Lago raided FBI Warrants

    The Donald looks a bit more stressed than usual to me lately. He is getting legal issues from a variety of different sources at about the same time. One or the other has got to be a criminal charge sooner than the next general election.............. thats a lotta paper from this one...

    Should I chop? Liberty Haze (Barney’s Farm)

    No responses? Awwww........ I believe that if the trichs are mostly cloudy and there are little or no clears- then you are in the window. Different strains mature at different rates. Indicas tend to mature faster than sativas. It is good to know your personal preferences- but...

    How do you keep buds bright green after harvest?

    I also think humidity plays a huge role. The longer you wait to chop, the greater role the humidity plays. It is also important during drying and curing. In the seedling stage the plant likes more humidity (like at least 60 to 75%). As the plant matures, that number should lower to...

    How do you deal with depression and loss?

    We all get desperate when we dont know what to do. We dont know what we like or are what we are good at- Some need to be a role model for their own offspring. then we become a wreck...... The doctor says its my unbalanced nervous system and I need to relax but I do not know how...

    New white pistils in late flower

    I also think I would wait a week or 2. I am indoors under LEDs. My last grow was super lemon haze and I chopped it in the middle of week 11. I had some bud rot and a few top buds looked like the 1st pic below. So I could have chopped it a week earlier and got the same quality of...

    1st grow. . . Male or female?

    I never heard of bro science before either- you wont find anything on it related to cannabis I bet - except right here in river city. It is a putdown type of slang.............. comes from body builders that wanna be Mr. Universe is all I can find in the literature. So I know where...

    Bugs! Which how to treat?

    Ive never soil drenched for them. Ive never soil drenched my pot, come to think of it. But with those small, soft bodied varmints I would think about any drench for fungus gnats would work. Or re-pot them. Depending on how easy that may be............

    Calcium Deficiency due to ph lockout?

    It was difficult for me to learn also. Then I got a moisture meter for about $8. I run tap water with a PH of about 7.0.............. in soil indoors under LEDs just a thought :leaf:

    GG4 - Day 62 - When to harvest?

    Dont let up on your air flow and watch for bud rot on the big, fat bud if you wait for that. Everything went fine for me but I let up on the flow and it came back to bite me some. I been picking them and smoking them (the buds) in about a 3 week window for my strain and I cant tell...

    Bugs! Which how to treat?

    They look like springtails. they are very small. Not really considered pests as much as a nuisance. But in large numbers they can hurt the health of the plant by working on fine root hairs in potting soil. they can be an issue in hydro. They eat fungus, and organic matter. Do...

    weird yellowing leaves

    Sorry for the delay. I also grow in 2x4x5 ft boxes. I am using 300 watts of led lights in each. Samsung 301b diodes and meanwell drivers. They deliver about 40 watts per sq. ft. and that is plenty for me. Spider farmer, Bloomspect, Maxsisun and Viparspectra that can deliver about...

    Is this rot?

    That is what I did under the circumstances. I also saw something interesting or at least it caught my attention: When the dead spot at the stem under the bud starts producing the fungal roots (mycelium) , the plant responds with more resin glands (trichomes) that quickly turn dark in the...

    weird yellowing leaves

    Thats good enough for soil moisture then- its nice to have a cycle of one watering a day. I dont think its getting too dry. If you dont like testing the runoff you could do a simple soil test. Most hardware and nursery stores have them............... I would do a test for N, P...

    weird yellowing leaves

    It could be temp.- I use 85 degrees as a threshold for the top of the plant for vegging. Because of the stretching and length of the main stem and the pale leaves at the base, I think they are wanting for more light intensity..... and the relatively low light at the base is playing a role...

    Is this rot?

    No sir! Do not panic. Especially if you have caught it early and you dont see this white fluff yet or freakin spores in a gray powder form............. That bud above looks familiar. the bud closes up and inside it gets wet. its best to open it up anyway maybe. but if that is...
