    My experience with powdery mildew

    I always struggle with budworms and bud rot (but keep it managed) but have never had PM, even tho it sometimes is humid enough late fall to cause budrot without budworms. It may well be strain specific, or the outdoor conditions here in Nor Cal

    Soil?

    Ocean Forest is the way to go IMO. Has everything you need rather than messing with making a mix, buying all the stuff you need for it etc.

    Best camera for bud pictures

    How many times have we seen an ad for a hamburger or other food, only to find the real thing sad and disappointing looking. Kinda like women using tons of filters and making duck lips to pimp themselves online, and you know they really don't look like that

    Too much light? WTF?

    Been seeing lots of posts about plants getting too much light. How is that even possible? Full sun all day benefits a plant. I realize most posts are regarding indoor growing, but still, how can artificial light be more intense than the sun? Is this more of a heat issue if the plants are too...

    Plants drooping from cold...

    Agreed, watering issue, underwatered or possibly overwatered, that can make leaves droop too. Doubt temp has anything to do with this, you're indoors. Unless it's 32 or below in that room, plants should be fine. Many members here have had plants even survive a little frost (although not for any...

    What's going on with my lady

    Based on that photo and the clawed leaves, you may be overwatering. Why do you think you need to flush?. No need to use Big Bloom, you do want to use Tiger Bloom and you WILL want to PH that. Big Bloom isn't really a nute, it's microbes for the soil. Makes sure your pots have good drainage and...

    Day 75 of Bruce: Harvest day? :)

    Nice job! I wouldn't worry about the trichs to determine when you cut, that's not necessarily a good way to tell ripeness. I used to try and go by trichs, but on branches I left after harvesting to experiment with overripeness, the trichs never turned amber . You're close, I'd guess 1-2 weeks...

    Plant does not branch

    Maybe it's my state's regulations (California) or the dispensary quality control I go to, but I have not seen this

    Plant does not branch

    Never seen seeds in store-bought buds, that is odd. Photos may help

    Talk to me about Monterey BT and Bud Rot

    Not sure what laid those eggs, but the common budworm lays single, white/yellowish eggs

    How much longer? ;-)

    Looks good, and I don't see any real issue with the leaves, bit of brown tips which may be overwatering or deficiency of some sort, but not gonna ruin your harvest. You do have a while to go, still fresh white pistils growing. Give it 3 weeks to a month

    Help please first grow

    As mentioned above, overwatering. But also, FF nutes shouldn't be used in the amount per feeding on the chart. I use half, usually even less per feeding and haven't had any deficiencies

    White Widow Final Days Before Harvest.

    What xtsho said. It's flowering, dark will not make it flower faster. Get it as much light as possible, you have a ways to go. It won't develop and ripen in darkness, or near darkness.

    I’m looking for information

    Yup, start when flowers start to form, not at flip

    Aphids on harvested buds

    When I was a kid, late 60's, mexican brick is all we had. Sometimes it was damp and not dried and smelled like ammonia. Dunno if it's true, but we heard they peed on it to throw off drug sniffing dogs so they could get it across the border.

    Aphids on harvested buds

    I doubt aphid bodies will cause any health issues. But the question is, why did you let the problem go on, and harvest without getting rid of the aphids first? I've never had aphids on my weed, just whiteflies and the occasional thrip, but I have had them on other kinds of plants. Easy to spray...

    Flowering process delayed from street lights?

    Mine didn't start flowering until late August, usually I see white pistils form end of July. This has just been a really odd year.

    Gloves that trichs won't stick to?

    THC is soluble in alcohol or fat. Use the Everclear, then just do shots! :D I feel that you're gonna lose the trichs from handling, whether or not on the gloves or your hands. I don't even bother with gloves any more, and just get the sticky shit off my hands with rubbing alcohol. IMO that...

    Fox Farms confusion?

    I've never really paid a lot of attention to their schedules. At first you'll only be using Grow Big and the occasional Big Bloom. If you're using FF Ocean Forest, you really don't need to use much of anything first month or 2. I've always use 1/2 (or less) of the recommended dosage, any more...

    Stunted growth - a repeating problem I can not solve.

    I've had this issue in the past. Can't say with 100% certainty it's overwatering in your case, but I overwatered and that's exactly what happened to me
