I don't have a reliable way to test my soil yet. But, I can at least offer personal recommendations for the water part. I would start off getting a pH control kit if you don't already have one. You need the acid and base solutions to adjust your water...

Thank you very much! Not a huge haul, but it's just for my own personal use. I did leave all of the sugar leaves on while they were drying, yes. I agree my humidity was too low. But, it's Par for the course this time of year here. Ideal humidity would probably be about 50% in my opinion for...

I don't think it's a problem drying in the same room you are growing in so long as the conditions are right. You certainly would not want to try drying in a tent that has plants growing in it though. You need darkness for sure if you want to do it right. Also, I did a dry trim due to low...

From what I've read, the fan can be positioned in different places. You can have it on the floor, or pointed at ceiling...doesn't really matter so long as you aren't blowing right on your buds. Also, I think it's important that air has a place to escape. If you put it on the floor, maybe you...

Also, there are two main types of trimming I am aware of. There's wet trimming and dry trimming. With wet trimming, you are removing all fan leaves and trimming the sugar leaves. When it comes time to jar the plant (after it's dry), you would not be spending much time trimming or manicuring...

You bet. I only have two years of growing experience under my belt. But, I get the feeling the duct boost fan would move much more air. I think that might be the better choice.

Some people like to give the plants 48-72 hours of darkness before harvesting. I do not personally do that, because the results people get seem all over the board. With last plant I harvested, I did it while the lights were still on. I am happy with the results already (the buds are still...

Wow. That is a lot of juice considering the plan is to use two of them. OP, since you're running blurples, I highly recommend these grow glasses from VIVOSUN. They make the plants appear like they are under natural light (good for use as a camera filter too). Grow lights can really hurt the...

I think it certainly would help. One thing to keep in mind with some LED lights, is the true wattage is often significantly lower than the one they put in the title. I started out growing with a "600W" purple or "blurple" light which actually only pulled a little over 100W at the wall. I could...

You're welcome!

Not a bad idea. I have never personally tried that. I usually avoid films when using psychedelics because it can be a little over-stimulating for me. But, weed might be gentle enough to where it wouldn't be as big of a deal. That is amazing. You don't see many people talking about visual...

My first grow ever was ILGM's White Widow Auto. I didn't really know what I was doing at the time in terms of growing, but remember enjoying consumption a great deal. One effect I remember experiencing, that I don't get much with other strains, is "3D text." For example, I would be reading an...

OP, when you get to a point where you are checking trichomes, I would recommend making sure you are looking at the actual flower, not sugar leaves like in the photo above. They often don't ripen at the same rate. But, growers care more about the flower because that's where the most THC is...

Oh. Well I guess I shouldn't expect everything I read online to always be the complete truth. At the end of the day, I wasn't there. How would I know?

Since discovering this Thread, I also read about a plant growth regulator called ethephon you can apply to male plants to induce female flowers in the same way. Supposedly, it's possible to create "Malinized" seeds in doing so. I understand a person shouldn't believe everything they read online...

When using the term trichomes, you're talking about the tiny bubbles that require magnification to see, right? Not the hairs (pistils)?

You're welcome. I highly recommend this video of Kyle's. It's about 30 minutes long. But, loaded with good information (in my opinion): There may be a lot of stuff you already know. But, it will give you an idea of what the guy is like. I think he's interesting.

It's Kyle Kushman. He is the Master Breeder behind the strain Strawberry Cough.

Let's say you end up with a female, OP. If all you are seeking right now is pollen, I am wondering if you could implement the Colloidal Silver technique to induce targeted pollen sac growth on a female. It might be possible. But, I don't know how that pollen would compare to using real male...

I did stumble on a handful of YouTube videos like this one that suggest it could be possible to "pre-sex" seeds. In other words, determine the sex of a seed by inspection alone. It sounds a little too good to be true to me. But, I haven't personally tried it:
