    12/12 from seed until sex shows...then 18/6?

    Thanks for all the answers. I also use fem seeds, but i do enjoy growing some regular ones and wanted to know your experiences and opinions on the 12-12 then 18-6 thing. I will just grow them on a normal veg photo period and wait, also do the cuttings thing.

    12/12 from seed until sex shows...then 18/6?

    Hello RIU. I've been talking to some local growers that told me about this strategy. They put the seeds under 12/12 light schedule until the plants show sex around day 21/28. They also told me that i can put them into a vegetative photoperiod as soon as they show sex and they will veg as...

    Can't figure out why my DIY soil mix has poor drainage

    Compost texture is my first bet. You can go with that 33-34% of EWC/compost, but make sure both are great in texture. And if you want to go up to 33% i would only use EWC or mostly EWC. I even use only 20% EWC because in the long term, coco/peat become more like compost in texture.

    Compost ruining drainage - normal behavior?

    Get a better texture compost or, even better, EWC. Or don't exceed 12-15% total mix volume if your compost is very muddy/heavy. You can also add aeration.

    Intervenial chlorosis on big fan leaves under Citizen COB lights

    My tap water has calcium carbonate but...is it water soluble? And on top of that, the water has a 7.2pH. As far as i know i need acidic water for the CaCO3 to react. I remember doing a DWC with tap water and salts lacking Ca. Tap water wasnt enough in that scenario and had to add water soluble...

    Intervenial chlorosis on big fan leaves under Citizen COB lights

    I thought Mg def showed on lower leaves first. I normally use tap water; will go with AC water and added CalMag on these plants and see what happens. Foliar Mg also sounds like a good try.

    Intervenial chlorosis on big fan leaves under Citizen COB lights

    My main mix has Calcium Carbonate and Gypsum, while the other mix is more like a standard potting soil with Dolomite instead of Calcium Carbonate and without gypsum

    Intervenial chlorosis on big fan leaves under Citizen COB lights

    Hello RIU. I'm on the learning curve of a 180W Citizen COB light. Right now i'm on a mixed space with HID and the Citizen. All plants are clones, although the ones under the led have a worse potting soil mix. The ones under the COB show leaves like this one. Levels of Calcium in the potting...

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Lately i've been using some soluble salts "on top" of my organic grows. Just took some ideas and practices from high brix gardening, which relies on rich soil with good biology and also applies some basic solutions containing salts, both foliar and as a drench. So let me know if i can still...

    Switching to organic

    There are lots of different practices/cultures within the organics "realm". What they all have in common is what you clearly already know: you want microbial-fungal activity interacting with the plant. So you want a good soil with energy, minerals, biology and micros. Here's a good read...

    Adding single ammendments to blended fertilizer?

    Don't check only total NPK, but also check other nutrients. I mean...you can have a 2-2-2 or a 10-10-10 fertilizer, not much problem with that. But what would happen if your 3-2-2 DTE has Calcium, and on top of that you add another Ca amendments? Also with Mg, S, micros, etc.

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Thanks man. Of the two plants, the one that ripen nicely, is clearly better. Tastes similar to nail polish in a great way. The other one is clearly smokeable but nothing special i must say.

    Regular female mother plant, two clones from her: reverse one and pollinate the other, what to expect?

    Regular female mother plant, two clones from her: reverse one and pollinate the other, what to expect?

    The regular females plants i took clones from, are on day 77 of flower. Those clones right now are growing in 3L pots. My idea is to use those clones as mothers. I want to try the idea of this thread, and i also have stored pollen from a brother of the original plant. I also want to see how both...

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Little update, day 63 for the flower tent. I have two similar phenos, but one is ripening right and the other one is showing some weird foliage and white stigma sprouts, and also giving some nanners. I'm dealing with higher temps these last days here in my room, so it may also influence the...

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Happy new year! So, little update from the flower tent and from my outdoor plants, that i didn't show yet. Outdoor girls are from Kannabia, the spanish breeder; they are in 15gal pots. What would you do with the lower branches, should i remove them?

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Finishing Week 6 on the flower tent. First try under a Citizen 180W fixture and with 3L pots. To my normal scheme of top dressings and some KNF inputs, i decided to go with some nutrient brews, taking into account the small pot size. But for my surprise i even see what i believe are some over...
