    First grows chop day. Did anyone else feel this sad on their first chop?

    I dont play favorites and am not affiliated with any breeder or company....but I strongly suggest you go with Mephisto for autos. I’ve grown out a bunch of their strains, and in MY OPINION only, they are the most stable, consistent and STRONG genetics I’ve grown out...in autoflower varieties. If...

    Growing In PERLITE/VERMICULITE

    Lets revive it! I’ve grown in 100% perlite, with no vermiculite in the mix, using blumat dripp system to deliver water and AN nutrients.....It worked like a charm although I had some massive PH issues late in flower to deal with. Normally I’m a soil-guy so a hydro expert might’ve seen it coming.

    The age old question HPS, MH vs LED

    Any way you can grow her, she will grow and reward you with happiness. Not sure why so many of us bash each others techniques and equipment, rather than supporting and helping......try a few techniques, lighting options, etc and find out what works for YOU, your space, growing style, medium...

    is plant rotation really necessary?

    i’m not entirely vertical, but i hang a 400w HPS in the center of 5-6 plants during flower only; the HPS is supplemental/vertical to boost the 630w CMH fixture that is horizontal above all the way through veg and harvest. So, i’m flowering under 630w CMH horizontal reflector (dual spectrum) +...

    First grows chop day. Did anyone else feel this sad on their first chop?

    weird! I asked about 24/0 because the only time I’ve had an auto go more than 10-12 weeks in flower was under 24/0....when I do (rarely) grow autos, I put them on same schedule as the photos they are sharing a tent with to fill space. My “pro grower” friend says “you HAVE to grow autos on 24/0...

    2 Plants, 2x Hermie

    To get back on track....I cant tell from your pics if those are just calyx swells or male parts, but will share that almost every single version of White Widow I’ve ever grown has had a hermie in the crop. And I also grew out a big batch of clones off one Jack Herrer mom, and out of 12, 3 went...

    Where do you guys get your seeds?

    sorry....my mistake....I pocked up those Rare Dankness beans at a show in Denver, but Seedsman also has some of their strains in original packs.

    Where do you guys get your seeds?

    Can’t believe no one mentioned Seedsman, Rare Dankness in CO, or Mephisto (for autos).....all three give you access to some of the best genetics available while allowing Credit Card purchase and domestic distribution.

    Light schedule for autos

    24/0 all the way for autos....i’ve consistently yielded 25-35% more off of great auto genetics in 24/0 than 20/4 or 18/6 (mostly Mephisto strains)....although occasionally they seem to take longer to mature under 24hr light.

    WHEN is the best time for supplemental flower-light?

    My first grow of 4 plants in 7 gallon felt pots of FF OF soil yielded a moderate 14 ozs, but next round with the addition of 400w HPS open-vertical caused same strains and setup to yield almost 21 oz total....of rock-hard stinky herb. The mixed spectrum kills in soil, but without HPS medicine is...

    WHEN is the best time for supplemental flower-light?

    Thanks for the response Dr. Who; so, I had some Medical Seeds strain “1024” and Jack La Mota as well as Scott R’s Ghost Train Haze outside....i harvested those but took clones and vegged them for almost 4 months to about 4 ft tall and LST’ed. And even though I schwazz at flower then again at 2.5...

    WHEN is the best time for supplemental flower-light?

    When in your experience is the best time to increase lighting for the flower cycle, before or on the DAY OF switching to 12/12? I’ve been vegging this round of ladies for almost 4 months.....and it’s time to flower. I veg under 630watt CMH (dual spectrum), then I typically add a vertical 400w...

    Root aphids

    Yep and if he uses Imid right now it’ll be in his plants on the day he harvests

    Root aphids

    And if you decide to use any of the systemics recommended here, make sure you are in veg and do everything possible to clear the chemicals before flower....personally I’d rather start over than use systemic, Monsanto-manufactured crap or Chrysanthemum oil.

    Root aphids

    Keep an eye on the undersides of your leaves; regardless of “root” aphid designations, in my experience aphids will always end up in your leaves and up your stems no matter where you see them first.....little yellow/brown/white/green bastards will be crawling everywhere eventually...before long...

    Few dramas with outdoor grow

    The technique is “monstercropping” and I would post an educational link, but not sure if the forum allows so definitely google it....i’ve grown SOG, hydro, mostly soil and outdoor though, and can say with certainty that this technique produces the most abundance of potent buds, at least for me...

    Few dramas with outdoor grow

    thats a pretty good way to train them, but HERE is the real secret of giant outdoor plants ....take clones from a mom, veg for a few weeks, then make them flower outdoors for several weeks; while the buds are still immature, maybe about 75%finished, take those plants and stick them under 24 hour...

    Mixing foliar pest sprays

    I’d say dont mix them, as the oils and citric acid in Lost Coast may affect the dispersal of the helpful bacteria in spinosad (oil may make spinosad clump or otherwise). I’d apply Lost Coast, wait 3-5 days, water well then apply spinosad

    URGENT: Biggest WEED News of the Year

I personally am very blessed to be living in a medical state where I can freely grow cannabis, but anyone anywhere should be able to grow...
