I have always defoliated right before I flip the switch for 12/12. By defoliation I mean a selective removal of any large fan leaves that are blocking light from potential bud sites. I don't mean a total stripping of the plant. I notice some people defoliate in the early stages of flowering...

Today I dry trimmed some of my White Widow x Big Bud Feminised and I found a couple of seeds. I have no idea how they came into being, I didn't notice any Herms and from two plants there were two seeds in the whole lot. I often find myself amazed at the weed that noobs seem to grow from bag...

Strangest thing happened. I have just germinated 3 x Aloha OG seeds from Sensi Seeds. One of them produced two roots, I wish I'd taken a photo. It them split open and produced two seedlings. One was normal size and the other was kind of runty and small. Anyway I potted it up, just because...

Got a pack of these coming... https://sensiseeds.com/en/research/afghan-pearl-cbd-automatic I just got them for a "bit of fun" I will chuck them in my veg tent with my seedlings. Just wondered if any one has any experience of them or something similar.

My last grow was my first under my TS1000s. In the latter stages of flower I got some Calcium def on a few of the plants. I have a mate that is a chemist and he suggested using this as a source of calcium that would be instantly usable by the plant...

Scrubbing the pots, drip trays and cleaning the tent. Probably one of the most important too. I vacuum the tent and spray it with an anti bac/anti mould solution. The pots are done in hot water and dish soap. I have a batch of Autos to sprout on Monday.

I thought I would share this. I found it on Reddit.... https://bedrocan.com/international-research-shows-no-genetic-distinction-between-sativa-and-indica-cannabis/

Is this possible? If I poured water directly into the drip tray under the pot, would the medium draw up the water?

...and fuck me it is good. I harvested six of them last week. I picked off all of the tiny fluffy buds and dried them separately, I have been smoking it all evening and I am proper skull fucked. Can't wait until the main crop is ready.

I have a dozen plants in various states of veg. Some are mothers, a few clones and some 5 week old seedlings. One of the seedlings is showing signs of a lack of phosphorus, all the others are perfectly healthy. They have all been treated the same. All been fed the same. They are all in the...

I have just been given one for free, with 5m of insulated ducting and I have a couple of questions. https://shop.systemair.com/en-GB/rvk--150e2--l--sileo--1ph230v/p98939 Can I control one of these with a normal household dimmer switch? I have done a bit of Googling and some people say you can...

Just curious. I have just bought a batch of seeds that I won't germinate until spring 2022. With the supply and demand problems that we have been having in the UK I thought it was best if I got ahead of the game in case there are any supply issues.

I live in the UK and due to Covid, Brexit and the fact I live somewhere remote, my usual grow mix was unavailable. So I had to improvise so I got some peat free tomato grow bags (according to the label it is a mix of composted wood and green waste) and some composted farm manure. I mixed the...

As the sale of peat is going to be banned in the UK. I am looking for a peat free solution. I was considering a 50/50 mix of coir and rotted farm manure. Then using fish, blood and bone with a touch of epsom salts as the grow progresses. I am wanting to stop relying on bottled nutes too...

Hi. I currently have 4 x White Skunk Autos in the same tent as some flowering photos, they are all on a light cycle of 12/12. The photos are nearly finished and I am going to fill the space they occupied with 8 x Critical Blue Autos. The 4 Autos I have in there already are on about week 3/4...

Hi, I am experimenting with 4 Autos. It is the first time I have done Autos. They are a little over 4 weeks old and are showing the first signs of flower. The soil I have them in is usually good for about 4 weeks. I gave them a dose of calmag at 3 weeks. I am using Plant Magic Old Timers...

I have been using Vermiculite for years. I was introduced to growing by a friend, he used it in his soil mixes so I did the same and never questioned it. I have been using a premixed soil called Westland Jack's Magic, it is easily available in the UK. However that is high in Peat and Peat is...

I transplanted my 4 week old seedlings from 500ml pots to 2.5L pots last Wednesday. They were pot bound. Today I notice that they are showing signs of being pot bound again. I have roots coming out the bottom of the pot and the top of the soil. Can they really be this bound in 5 days. It is...
