I’ve grown Aurora Indica a few times, which is a short plant, with tight, spicy buds. Strong smoke for evening.

Amen. I got 27 oz of killer Sour D buds in one 10g pot outdoors by topping, bending, spreading, etc to create 20+ colas, resulting in a 5.5’ plant. Break apical dominance, spread the the canopy, be vigilant about bugs and nute issues, etc. can produce amazing yields!

Yes. Big pot= big roots= big plant

Update: when I harvested in late September, my final yields were 27 oz of huge tight Sour Diesel buds, and 20 oz of Cannatonic. Plant were only about 5’ tall, in 10g pots. Key is topping, training, spread canopy as it grows, etc. Did not realize that it was possible to get those yields from a...

BTW...the technique I described works amazingly well for outdoor. This past summer here in legal Cali, I grew a Sour D and Cannatonic CBD in 10g pots and got over 20oz of huge, dense buds from each plant that were only about 5’ tall! Topped to produce about 20 colas each, then nurtured them and...

I heard early in my grow hobby, after trying a full manifold approach, to top at node 5, but leave 3 and 4 below, as these low branches below the first breaking of apical dominance at node 5 often become the best tops. I have found this to be true. Especially with big outdoor plants- you want...

Yes, I topped at the 5th node pretty early. Then, I like to tie the plant down at a 45 degree angle to get the side branches to rise up and become tops. Then, a couple of weeks later I top to get 12-16 tops. Doing this slows vertical grow in veg, but by time the flip to 12/12, you have a nice...

I’ve had 5 fairly successful indoor grows in a 4x4x7 tent with fabric pots, FF soil+, and 2200 LED watts/625 watts from wall lighting. I’ve used mostly 5g pots, and currently have a 7g grow going. In my last grow with 5 plants in 5g pots I got 19 oz of nice cured bud. We’ll see what yield I get...

Good stuff, Thundercat. WE all learn an develop our own methods that seem to work. Be a sponge for information, learn from mistakes, and get a little better next time. And don't be afraid to experiment a bit. My first couple of grows a i did the complete manifold- top at 5th node and cut out...

Checking with loupe, smell, bud quality and density tells me it works. The trichs look amazing under magnification, with zero debris, and terpines profile has no degradation that I can discern by several wash/don’t wash comparisons of the same plant. If a botanist can inform on this I’d love to...

It is a short, 5 second dip. I get hit by moths/caterpillars/sub sequent bud rot some each summer (only lost a couple oz this summer due to prevention efforts), so a strong kill shock is in order. No damage. Goes right into wash agitated for about 10-15 seconds, then rinse. Maybe too high, but...

BTW...I had to revise the label for the tincture because for ME ( a Snoop-level heavyweight) they would be about right, but 3+ is enough to get anyone pretty lifted, but not in a raging high THC extract way...

Yes, a funky citrus smell when wet, but an unusual smell cured. Kind of old school...earthy, skunky...smoke is dense and a big toke makes me cough my ass off. I’ve always been an Indica guy- GDP, Blueberry, Northern Light, Afghani-based strains, etc.-but I’m more into hybrids now, which most...

Cannatonic is the kind of strain you can do wake n bake and keep smoking all day and still not be couchlocked until late at night, where you sleep like you took sleep meds. I love strong weed like everyone, but you can love alcohol but who wants Bacardi 151 all the time? I,d love to know the...

Will do. So amazing it is legal to grow here now. $8 seed. Less than $100 for pot, soil and nutes. 20 oz of bud- what is not to love:)

I used 2 gallons water/64 oz of peroxide (you could use 32) - step one 2 gallons water/regular package of baking soda and 12-16 oz of lemon juice- step two Bucket of clean water to dunk, followed by gently rinse with filtered water hose dry outside in front of fan until back to normal dampness...

I thought I’d try growing some high CBD flower for the 2019 Summer-Fall outdoor season here in SoCal. I researched and saw Cannatonic CBD posting insane 17% CBD/ 5% THC numbers, so bought 5 seeds from Nirvana. Just completed grow on September 25th, and with month+ cure, here’s my take: I grew...

I know there are a bunch of Nirvana haters out there, but I just completed an outdoor grow here in So Cal and the results were spectacular. Nirvana’s version, as they advertise, has a more citrus flavor to go with the fuel flavor. I’m a 40+year pothead and know and enjoy all of the current top...

Your thoughts make sense for Hawaii. In So Cal, we get hot and dusty days, followed by damp nights, which results in a lot of sticky crap almost glued to the buds after months of this. After 6 grows with washing (outdoor only) I am totally convinced that it is the way to go. Water/peroxide/lemon...

Go for it. After you wash, dry in front of fan to get rid of excess water, then begin your indoor hang dry as normal. Post wash, trichomes look amazing and you know you are not ingesting mold, fungus, insect parts or shit. I’ve tested washed and unwashed from same plant, and I swear taste is...
