    Need help with watering....please

    After growing indoors for over 20 years, in 1 gal or less pots, I still use and trust a simple moisture meter. Makes a grower a much more informed grower..... Even in small pots, there's no way a finger deep feel can accurately judge what the root ball is doing ....much less a larger pot.... One...

    Autoflowers?

    Growing autos and photos alongside each other for 20 years, the primary difference is how they handle nutrients. Autos genetic timing doesn't give you latitude for mistakes. Even then, with the seed market being flooded, I'd never expect 'always' stable genetics from the same sleeve.

    Amber enough?

    Some old stoners let trics go very very amber for a knockout effect. I like keeping jars of wake-up, cruising and knock out. Just takes harvest patience. That being said, bout 30% amber is normal......

    Humidity below 60% in curing jars

    Just my 2 cents....all this fret over curing....some say it's only a term stoners use to make themselves believe they can make something better by doing less. Typical psychology of stoners. Personally, I stopped purposely 'curing' years ago. I medicate daily with any jar I choose.....Just jar at...

    How long does the minimum cure take?

    Perpetually harvesting my own for over 20 years, I start smoking mine when dry and holding at 60%. Always have a few jars at different 'curing' stages...I can barely tell any difference.....I just believe a well grown healthy plant, harvested at a specific time will release its treasure when...

    All Day, Everyday Tokers. What gets you?

    Growing my own meds for over 16 years, I'm burning flowers from wake up til.... I'm actually testing each strain I grow for it's relief factor.... I miss the day when a bong rip began a party....now it's relief according to the bud I burn. Like most old stoners with some malady or three...

    Are my lights too low?

    Floros needs to be very close......I run 96w T5HO 6500K at 2-3" for germ and 3 weeks of veg. My plants get nothing but DI water until moved to a flower area. When your goal is health instead of yeild, habits will change a bit. Plants impress more when you don't try to impress them....

    Autoflowers on the balcony?

    Autos were actually developed as a small plant that can hide...and also to make use of whatever light energy they can get but will perform at a smaller scale with only outside lighting. Any extra will do a little extra. Auto potency has mostly caught up with photo quality...imo...and now mostly...

    whats the best joint of the day for you?

    Never smoked a cig but started smoking maryjane 1970. The varied ways of combusting the flower have been mostly tried. Until 20 years ago, mj was a favored recreational drug...then it became a must have for old age shit. Good thing the recreational side of it still works as it relieves...

    question for my fellow growers

    Man don't be discouraged when those with better lights down play your efforts. Anyone who has a light catching dust is proof they were using it to start with.... I say run all that shit. Old lights are very useful as side lighting..... As I run perpetually, autos and photos, changing out...

    Leaves are drooping after swithing to new tent with more light

    I'd be re-checking ph and nutes before removing a plants energy source.

    Training advice, limited space

    Guess I have a similar issue since I like stuffin' as many in my space as I can. I just top every plant and let'em fight for their share. If it gets wild again, I top again... In a perpetual rotation, it's about light height per plant...I always have a rogue that bullys...

    Auto headaches

    Sorry you've been misled a bit but it's like picking pepper out of fly shit when you ask advice from someone trying to sell you something.

    How long can you live if you smoke?

    My story about cigs and weed....and living. In 1967, at 18 and first year of college, cold weather began causing sharp chest pains that was dx'ed as 'blebs' leaking causing the knife like pains.... Took some kind of pharm shit but mostly just avoided cold when possible. Still occasional issues...
