    Is this an aphid?

    Best picture I could manage, yellow little fucker. Also attached a couple of images of the damage to my plant. So far haven't been sure if it was thrips or caterpillars (I had thrips last year, and caterpillars in some of my non-cannabis plants this year) But maybe it's aphid(s)?

    Tiny holes in leaves - Pest?

    Just trying to catch any issues as early as possible. Frisian Dew, outdoors, so there are plenty of options. Anyone who can help pinpoint what might be causing this and how to prevent it?

    Unhappy outdoors Sweet Tooth Auto

    I was wondering if anyone has some input for this somewhat unhappy plant. It's in soil outdoors. It has been raining a lot for the last few days, so I suspect it's just unhappy about that. It's in the same soil as all my other cannabis plants and this one is the only unhappy one. To be fair, I...

    Grow journal - Outdoors 2024 - Frisian Dew, Frisian Duck, Sweet Tooth Auto, Early Skunk

    Hey guys, just thought I'd collect all my plants in one place, easier to keep track of for myself and easier to get help if needed. I don't plan on updating it every day, the reason I'm growing outdoors is to keep it simple and not have it be a full-time job, that's also why they're in soil and...

    Is it time for transplant?

    Frisian Duck, I have two that are this size - Topped them a few days ago. Have they outgrown their pot? (No idea why the lower leaves look a tad unhappy)

    Thoughts on the Vivosun VGrow Smart Grow Box?

    https://vivosun.com/vivosun-smart-grow-box I've seen a few reviews of this, and IMO it looks like a decent product. The only concerns I have are: 1) How effective the carbon filter is and how often you will have to replace it and how hard it is to replace 2) How noisy the extraction fan is...

    When drying, does VPD matter more than humidity?

    I'm trying to prepare myself for drying, because I don't have a great location for it, except a furnace room that might be too hot for drying. So I've been reading up all I can to better understand how to dry my weed under those conditions. I run into articles like...

    Are there any scientific consensus as to what the actual ideal NPK ratios are for cannabis?

    I've been looking around a bit and I keep running into various Youtube channels trying to advertise all those overpriced brand nutrients. I know those are a bit of a scam, so I was hoping to dumb down my fertilizing and buy something not meant for cannabis. Like, tomato fertilizer or general...

    How much light is too much light outdoors, in terms of night cycle?

    I just want to be prepared for Autumn, so I was wondering if these decorative lights, for instance, is enough to upset the night cycle? None of them are near the cannabis plant, but they're within a few feet/meters of the plant.

    The saddest plant I've ever seen, will it recover?

    Frisian dew that was put outside as early as possible. It should allegedly be able to tolerate the current temperatures (Close to freezing at night) so I hope it's just stunted and unhappy temporarily. I have a few backup plants growing indoors that will replace this one if it doesn't recover...

    How often should you exchange all the air in your grow room?

    I'm not asking for personal opinions so much, I'm more asking if there's like a clear scientific consensus. I keep hearing people say "Every 5 minutes" or "Every 3 minutes" or even "Every 1 minute" But in reality, there has to be a "correct" answer, right? Maybe some literature someone can...

    When can I put my plant outside and avoid flowering? (14 hours of daylight?)

    I keep seeing conflicting information and every single thread I find about the topic has different information, I was hoping someone could help me get closer to some facts so I know how soon I can put my plant outdoors. All the reading and videos I've watched on the topic lead me to, a minimum...

    Minor spots and slight edge discoloration

    I realize these are very minor symptoms and likely not even anything to worry about, I'm just trying to catch a potential issue early. Just in case. I've been acclimating the plant to go outdoors soon, so it has been outside a lot the last week. I suspect the spots are just random sucker insect...

    How well do the Ikea Carbon Filters work for cannabis?

    Just thought I'd see if anyone have experience with this line of products: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/search/?q=NYTTIG I attached a photo of one of the options, but there are many different ones.

    Is this a successful topping?

    Hope the picture is okay. I haven't topped cannabis in almost a decade so I just want to be sure I didn't rush things before the stem had time to extend.

    What kind of dimmer to get?

    Sorry this is probably a stupid question, but I've bought a dimmer before and it didn't work as intended. So I was wondering if there's a specific kind you should be getting for your grow lights? I have a Northern grow lights Photon 180w LED and it has a dimmer on the side but it doesn't seem...

    For how long can you 'start' seeds indoors prior to spring without lights?

    Bit of a newbie question so I assume it belongs here. For how long is a windowsill sufficient for starting a cannabis plant, a week? two weeks? I want to get a head start before spring but I don't want to set up and unpack my 200w LED, I don't have a space for it and I don't have a tent or a...

    Is Terra Aquatica Bloom identical to Maxibloom?

    I've found conflicting information and I've had a hard time finding concrete ingredients in the TA Drypart Bloom VS Maxibloom. According to https://www.aquagardening.com.au/brands/general-hydroponics-terra-aquatica TA is the same as GH, same ingredients etc. But I can't seem to find an...

    First auto harvest outdoors - Any input?

    Gorilla glue auto, grown outdoors. Harvested today, trimmed, and bathed in some hydrogen peroxide solution followed by water, not a huge harvest by any means but enough for my casual consumption. Is the drying room okay? It's a furnace room, so it's 24C / 75F and 50% humidity. I think the...
