    First time growing photoperiod-too early to tell sex?

    Got a random plant from a neighbor about 4 weeks ago. Been giving it 24h of light in the grow tent and it's growing nice. Can't for the life of me tell if it's male or female or if it's too soon to tell-picture attached. Is this remotely useful in determining sex or is it time for more waiting...

    Straw Bale Gardening

    Starting my straw bale garden in my cold greenhouse today. Second year in a row, I get a little salad bar growing on top of it of lettuce spinach kale etc. Anyone else use this method? It’s a nice way that I can make some space outside of my raised beds

    Stunted Growth-Any Thoughts?

    Scored an auto flowering Blue Hindu seed from Mosca seeds, germinated it and got it in some soil. Unfortunately, I accidentally used potting soil that had gotten wet from basement flooding and I suspect leached a lot of nutrients out of it. Very slow growth! I Transplanted the seedling to some...

    Strains for Sleep Edibles

    Hello all, I have an older relative (60s) dealing with terrible insomnia. Was hoping for some recommendations on strains helping with sleep, preferably something that translates well to edibles. Anything autoflower would be ideal since my green thumb is still developing!

    Having trouble telling if trichomes are ready

    75 days of a gorilla glue auto. Buds are nice and big-this is the closest up photo I could get through a magnifying lens. I’m having trouble telling if this is just milky or an actual amber color-any advice appreciated if it’s time to chop.

    Nitrogen Deficiency during Flowering

    I think I have some nitrogen deficiency going on during flowering. Lower leaves are slowly turning lighter green while my flowers grow up. I’m in 2.5 gallons of FFHF soil and recently started using the Dr Earth Liquid gold pump stuff in water to make a weak compost tea-but I don’t think it’s...

    Nutrient burn? Nitrogen Deficiency?

    Quick question, first grow. My G14 auto just hit 4 weeks post above ground. Been using FFHF soil with regular watering and 24h light. Flowering started a few days ago and I started using Tiger Bloom-figured I would start easy and just went with one teaspoon per gallon of water. Watered her two...

    Random question:

    Anyone else’s cats go crazy trying to smell them after you’ve been handling plants? I swear it’s more powerful than catnip to my guys.

    Normal for cotyledon leaves to wither during preflower?

    G14 auto just hit preflower, moving towards flowering. (Pic below.) This is 29 days after seedling emerged. Bottom cotyledon leaves are drying up a bit and some of the very bottom fan leaves are lighter green than my ones up top-is this normal due to plant pushing nutrients and water up top...

    LST aka WTF am I doing?

    Hi all, this is my first grow and I’m trying LST solo without topping before I try topping on my next plant. G14 auto just hit three weeks post seedling appearing above the ground. Tied the main stem to the side 2 days ago with a plant tie attached to the side of the pot-you can see now the top...

    Tiger Bloom!

    First grow, got a G14 auto cooking along and just hit two weeks. So far it’s just been in FFHF soil with plain water. Stupid question but when should I add Tiger Bloom? Do I basically wait until flowers start appearing or can I use it before that-or will the nutrients in the FFHF carry me...

    When to start LST?

    Got a 12 day old G14 auto, about 4 inches tall so far and looking good. Is that too early to bend over and tie it with some soft rubber wire? Working in a smaller tent so want to conserve space. any advice appreciated!

    MacGyver Attempt for Ventilation

    My grow tent is a 2x2x4 PVC frame with plastic sheeting/mylar on the inside-nothing fancy but it’s my first grow. HLG100 LED for light and seedlings are doing ok. I have a small fan in there keeping air moving but would like an exhaust option-I have a small 4 inch desk fan and some foil duct...

    Broken Taproot

    Starting with a gorilla glue auto-while moving the germinated seed from my paper towels over to the pot, my dog got excited and jumped up to see what was going on. Bad dog! Anyway, this wound up snipping off maybe the bottom half of a roughly half inch taproot. Planted in what remains anyway...
