    North atlantic seed co.

    I ordered FastBuds, and I think that's what I got for freebies. No way to be sure, but FastBuds does have all the strains I got, and with one of them, FastBuds was the only breeder that NASC used for that strain.

    Organic/safe insecticide?

    I was thinking that on my next grow, I'd like to douse the soil with something to kill any insects/larvae before planting. Is there an inexpensive product that will do this and is safe to use?

    Diagnosis please

    I don't know if what I did helped, but it doesn't seem to have gotten any worse since Tuesday, and is growing nicely.

    I've been using Fox Farms Big Bloom, looking for cheaper alternative

    Both of these look like something I'd like to try. However, a lot of the reviews I saw on Amazon for the Myco Chum said that the bottle wasn't near full. And I can't find the Kellogg anywhere. I may try to find another fish emulsion on Amazon. And I also recall seeing some in Home Depot.

    Fertilizer when using fox farm ocean forest?

    I've been adding Mykos to the soil (as well as perlite), and feeding with Recharge, CaliMagic, and FF Big Bloom at around the time that they're big enough to water normally (soaking the pot). This has been working well for me, but I don't have enough experience to tell you the difference in...

    Diagnosis please

    Thanks for the reply. They're 3 gallon pots. The reason that the soil level is so low is that I ran out of soil. I got some more OF; I'm just trying to figure out how to repot it without disturbing the plant too much. I also thought that it could be fungus. I'm going to order some Southern...

    Diagnosis please

    It doesn't look like the pics I've seen of light burn (and I think I did have light burn on my older plants a while back), but I agree that it's a lot of intensity for a plant that size. Unfortunately, it's sharing a tent with some much older plants, which have gone into flower, so I can't...

    Diagnosis please

    It was last watered last Saturday with Big Bloom, Recharge, and CaliMagic, all at the recommended dosages. I don't remember how much it was exactly; I'd guess maybe a quart. Soil is FFHF closest to the plant, with the rest being FFOF. I'm not sure whether the roots have hit the OF yet, but I...

    Diagnosis please

    This plant looked great until yesterday. I don't see anything like this on the other ones. What happened?

    The Fox Farms feeding schedule says to feed Tiger Bloom twice a week

    I was tempted to do that, but I haven't seen any adverse effects yet at 1/4. Could it be because I'm not adding any other Nitrogen (except the small amount in the CaliMagic)? I tried Grow Big, but it burned the shit out of a 4-week old plant at 1/4 strength.

    The Fox Farms feeding schedule says to feed Tiger Bloom twice a week

    They're on week 5 - 6. I really think the CaliMagic has been working for me; I didn't use it on the first batch, but did on the second, and they look far better (no issues at all). But that wasn't the only thing I changed, so I could be mistaken.

    The Fox Farms feeding schedule says to feed Tiger Bloom twice a week

    For me, this would be every watering, which seems excessive. I'm growing autos in FFOF. I just started using TB at 1/4 the recommended strength, with plans to increase to full strength over the next 3 feedings or so. The other nutes I'm giving are Big Bloom, CaliMagic, and Recharge, all at...

    Does this look like normal bud growth?

    What strain is that?

    Best method of removing excess alcohol?

    Thanks, I hadn't thought about that (the sugars). I had been a bit leery about using iso in something I was going to consume, but it sounds like that's the better option for oil. I can get 99% on Amazon.

    Best method of removing excess alcohol?

    I'd like to make some tincture and/or oil using Everclear. I live in an apartment, so I really need to do the entire operation indoors if possible. How can I remove either a large percentage of the alcohol to get a strong tincture, or all of it to get an oil that I can smoke, relatively...

    Six plants in a 4 x 2 tent

    Update: I used a milk crate and some boxes to get all the plants at roughly the same height. The light is now 20" to 22" from all of them. Thanks to @GregoryB for spurring me to get this done. :) BTW, I remove the plants from the tent to water and examine them, then let them drain before...

    New to this

    I'm pretty new to this also, but I found that starting them in Rapid Rooters in 3 gallon pots works fine. I just use a squirter to water right around the RR until the plants get big enough that I'm comfortable watering normally. Until then, the moistness of the RR seems to be a good indicator...

    Six plants in a 4 x 2 tent

    Yes, I have a tower fan blowing on them. So far, I haven't gotten an exhaust fan mainly due to the cost, and noise. I splurged on the light, but I really need to cut costs everywhere else that I can - especially if I get a second tent.

    Six plants in a 4 x 2 tent

    I'm still on the fence about that... I've read a lot of conflicting opinions. The 3 plants that I didn't fuck up seem to be growing well, so I've been hesitant to change the light cycle. But I have been thinking about going to either 20/4 or 18/6 for my next grow to see if I notice a difference.

    Six plants in a 4 x 2 tent

    Nope. I just open the vent at the bottom and leave the top partially open, and let the convection remove the heat. It doesn't seem to get too hot in there, as long as I don't close the top too much. There's very little odor so far, and I'm not concerned about that anyway, so I don't think I...
