    Pickles?

    Lately I've opened some stored (3 mos. +) flower and the main aroma in all the jars is "dill pickle". The jars were new when filled, the bud's been maintained at 62% and kept in the dark (mostly) - and it smokes perfectly fine, with no pickle smell after grinding. Is this weird, normal, or...

    Michigan Law re: Edibles/THC

    Okay, I think I understand the Michigan position regarding cannabis/hemp PLANTS - but has anyone explored/learned about the regulation of edibles/concentrates? What are the limits on making and sharing or (gasp!) selling them as home-grown medicinal products?

    Too good to be true...

    I had a tight little underperforming plant (described as a Blueberry/Aussie hybrid, but who knows?) that I flipped 11 days ago. Looked today & it's ALREADY FLOWERING! "Wow!" I said to myself - "Cool!" Not so much. I was clearing leaves to let all the light available get to the mid-lower...

    Not a "rule" - just an thought

    Newbie, like many, lol. I have a 65w led light, that's good for TWO plants (plus MAYBE seedlings/clones on the side). A Mars TS-1000, that's good for up to FOUR plants (plus seedlings, etc.), and a Mars 2000 TSW good for all you want in a meter-square tent.

    Root rot prevention & other newbie questions

    Dipping a toe into hydro (small drip system). I've read that in addition to close attention to ph and feeding, I need to add something to counter root rot. I'm also planning to run my pump for 15 minutes every 6 hours. Any advice (even ridicule) will be considered...

    Cold Climate plastic "Greenhouses"

    Cheapies are under $100 on Amazon. Placed in Upper Michigan - where ONE Photo-grow is a crapshoot... Worth it for 2 autoflower grows in a season...

    Going to try to finish a hermie...

    Had a fungus gnat problem and it apparently caused 1 of my current two flowering plants to hermie. Mother of this clone produced very smooth (but very effective) smoke - so I want to finish it. Within a day of noticing "maleness" I heavily defoliated and plucked the pollen sacs I could find...

    Pot size?

    I imagine I'll get answers all over the map (but trending to LARGE) - but for next year I'm trying 3 plants outside, and am considering 30 or 50 gallon pots. Ideas?

    Getting close....

    Two days from starting Week 9, so should be done within 2 weeks. Looking good to me (a noob). Plants on either side went into the tent last week. With topping and scrogging I figure those two will EACH have the number of flower stalks (14) as the mature two. Using a 31"X31" tent under a Mars...

    Add Blacklight?

    Would there be any advantage to adding a UV light bulb to the Mars 1000 LED I have in the flowering tent? I've seen the concept that UV is a "nice" thing for flowering plants... What do ya'll think?

    The usual noob question....

    Okay, my turn, lol... This is SUPPOSEDLY Girl Scout Cookies (Bought from Ebay, so who knows? Noob, remember?). GSC has a flowering period or 9-10 weeks, but my beauties are just 3 days into week SIX. Colors are changing, trichomes are exploding - I give it 2 more weeks MAX. What do you...

    Damn, this is fun! (when things go well)

    First shot: 3 seeds germinated - only 1 really "took" - then it went hermie... Second shot 3-for-3 germinated, fems - and in 3rd week of flowering, are...FLOWERING. 1 of 2 last seeds germinated, other terminated - but added 2 clones so 3 flowering and 3 headed toward veg. I LOVE IT WHEN A...

    How long can I top?

    10 days into 12/12 - and topping opportunities are still showing up. How deep into flowering is it safe to top? Picture of my beauties included (front right is one of the next generation, sharing some better light in the flowering tent until the light's about to go off)

    The ultimate Newbie question

    Okay, I see "threads" and "balls" - but I'm also seeing pollen on leaves below these "buds". So...I have a boy, right?

    Mixed ages

    Hi all, first post. I'm enjoying my first grow attempt, bought a tent w/HLG LED light, bought seeds (Girl Scout Cookies), 3 germinated but 2 withered - so I was left with ONE healthy, fast-growing plant. Bought more seeds and was 3-for-3 germinating and the newbies are off to a great start...
