    Low intensity light = Dark green leaves

    I've now grown 2 one plant grows in a small tent with my $129 BestVA 1000w led. Both my grows soon had dark leaves thruout the grow. I thought it was an over abundance of nitrogen, but I was wrong. I kept the nitrogen feeding in check. I then read that a plant that's not receiving enough light...

    First harvest have question?

    My buds drying out (now in a paper bag) always take on a uniform generic cannabis smell while drying and before curing. Is it during the curing process that they take on the smell relevant to their strain? I hope so.

    My grow when rolled up in paper gets really wet

    I'm almost scared to take a sample 10 miles away to a lab that will give complete specs of the sample you give them. $75,00 My grow is probably not as good as commercial grow.

    My grow when rolled up in paper gets really wet

    Thanks. If my grow isn't stoney 17% THC, at least whatever it is will smoke better after a proper curing.

    My grow when rolled up in paper gets really wet

    Well, the buds now are a bit wet, yes. Just the smaller buds. This present grow was Bubblegum Kush Auto from Seedsman. No real issues throughout the grow, expect when I stupidly misted the leaves and the light burned the hell outta some leaves due to the magnifying effect. I probably won't...

    My grow when rolled up in paper gets really wet

    Please, no specifics. It's broken up and in the paper bag drying. A nice haul for one plant. The buds are fat and sweet, but will it get me rip roaringly stoned? I'm my own worst critic. If it doesn't get me ripped enough, I'll buy some shake, mix it with this crop's shake and make some...

    My grow when rolled up in paper gets really wet

    Thanks for the primer on drying and curing weed. I Googled before posting. Bragging? More like seriously wondering. My grow didn't get me as high as store bought weed, I should have mentioned that. Also this.. it seems I can have a beautiful grow without the punch of pro grown weed. Can...

    My grow when rolled up in paper gets really wet

    Is that a sign of not drying and curing it correctly? My first grow (I'm on my second grow now) I didn't think my buds were potent enough to use with a hit pipe. So... I rolled them up into a joint and smoked it. The rolling paper got really greasy and wet looking right off the bat when...

    Jar sized Hygrometer/Thermometer

    If your lid cutout makes for a tight snug fit, any non-toxic glue like Elmers would be enough to seal out air leaks. They make all kinds of non-toxic glues for school kids. Also, put a meter inside the jar with a Boveda or Integra pack and the meter inside the jar will read closer than the same...

    Jar sized Hygrometer/Thermometer

    Most mini hygrometers are set at the factory and can't be adjusted by taking it apart. As for the round ones that have an adjustment knob, 17% of Amazon buyers of that item said its junk (won't calibrate). My cheapo square ones aren't reading correctly at all now. 62% Boost packet inside jar...

    Jar sized Hygrometer/Thermometer

    You got lucky if it reads accurate, compared to a reliable source. There are probably millions of mini hygrometers like these churned out. I guess I'm one of the unlucky bastards.

    Jar sized Hygrometer/Thermometer

    I've come to the conclusion that mini hygrometers made by China are a joke to begin with. I have an Integra packet of 62% in the jar. After hours, the inside mini hygrometer is reading 54% and the mini hygrometer stuck in the lid reads 51%. Useless toys. Only cost me $5 for three of them.

    Be careful when misting your plants...

    I'd read about foliar spraying and all that. . My bad. Heh, it was just plain water misted onto the plant as an afterthought. Lesson learned. Anyone wanna answer my wondering if CFL's will also cause leaf burn with droplets of water acting as mini magnifying glasses? Or does that only...

    Be careful when misting your plants...

    I'm a bit bummed at how much trimming of dead LED burnt fan leaves I had to trim off. Fortunately, I didn't freak about it being due to some soil condition or fungus and go overboard trying to correct that. Small fan leaves on the buds are looking better now...less burnt. Haha. Edit: Can...

    Be careful when misting your plants...

    ...if your lights are too close. My leaves and plant were doing fine with my 1000w led at the height it was at. That is, until I innocently decided to mist the plant with a few mist sprays of pure clean water. Next day, the leaves had lots of black burn spots and shriveled leaves on the leaves...

    Jar sized Hygrometer/Thermometer

    These are hygrometers that cost $1.10 ea. Free shipping. (All 3 read well within reason in my tent, when next to my more expensive Accurite hygrometer nearby). Who knows? So far, all these dollar hygrometers are still suspect to me. China makes millions of them. All 3 read within reason of...

    Jar sized Hygrometer/Thermometer

    Stay tuned. This method of inexpensive mini hygrometers inserted into the lid of a mason jar to read jar humidity may not be accurate. My mini hygrometer reading inside an empty jar of a fresh Integra 55% packet is getting closer to 55% humidity (48% now), while the lid hygrometer is behind in...

    Day 97

    I'm growing one autoflower Bubblegum Kush in a 2 gallon pot. It's week 2 of flowering. I must have over nuted on my last watering because all the leaves starting showing stress signs. The plant itself and the spears are still going strong. I only hope my cutting back on nutes and changing to...

    Jar sized Hygrometer/Thermometer

    Walmart has 6 packs of plastic mason jar lids (with threads) in store for $2.45. I have 3 China bought mini hygrometers that cost me only $5.10 free shipping for all 3. They all compared within 1% of my Accurite hygrometer. Took 5 weeks to arrive from China tho. These only read Celcius, which...

    Jar sized Hygrometer/Thermometer

    I just made a jar lid with mini meter like yours. Took me all of 5 minutes with my Dremel tool. The fit was tight enough that it should be air tight, but I might glue it in just to make sure. Thanks for the great suggestion. P.S. I put a packet of 55% in the empty jar and will see how close...
