    How important soil is...

    Just a random FYI about how much great soil matters. The big plants were planted on the 30th of March with an indoor Solo cup start. The tiny plant went outside after sprouting and was planted on March 20th. The big plants have years old pro-mix, fox farms, and coast of Maine organic soil...

    What's going on here?

    Good looking out. 3 years of growing here, 10 indoor crops, 3 outdoor grows and only one real full hermie thankfully so far. Though random seeds show up here and there. We actually had an amazing piece of luck with a random seed outside this year. NO IDEA what genetics it was, just a random...

    What's going on here?

    It was a freebee seed, Rainbow Kush, 90% sure it is a photoperiod. I have had the worst luck sprouting seeds recently that I am nursing even runts to life for sure. This was a gift for a friend who couldn't get any seeds started and he is so proud of his first grow he doesn't care. He's got 2...

    What's going on here?

    So this Rainbow Kush is around 19 days old. When it sprouted it was stunted, with 1 leaf stuck over the other awkwardly, now 3 weeks later it still has wierd growth. It started in a solo cup and is now in a much bigger 10 gallon pot so if it was nutrients I would think the roots would have...

    Shrinking seeds.

    Cool thanks I may get those. They look pre-wetted. They must have a short shelf life no? Anything moist out here winds up with black mold.

    Shrinking seeds.

    When I started I had maybe a 80% rate going now it is more like 40%. I am getting a lot of seeds growing upside down too. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I have been using Peet pods and they seem to dampen off. Maybe I should just go back to dirt. I cannot figure it.

    Shrinking seeds.

    Ya I have gotten from Barney's I remember them being robust good call.

    Shrinking seeds.

    It seems like since I started growing 4 years ago that seed banks are turning out smaller and smaller seeds. Has anyone else noticed this? My germination rate has gone way down and I assume it's because the seeds are less healthy/given less time to mature or just genetically altered where they...

    What is up with my CO2 mushrooms.

    I have 3 mycolabs C02 boost bags in my 4x4x8 grow tent. That tent is in a 8x8 room with a closed door and no active ventilation just some gaps in the dry wall at the ceiling rafters. Some days when I go in my cheap little CO2 meter says 2000ppm in the room and some days it says 405ppm which is...

    Should this worry me.

    Thanks for all the input I forgot about this post. This was an outdoor grow and we do get black mold out here on Long Island often. Luckily it never presented in any of the buds or sugar leaves. The white spots on the zoom in are probably milk residue from spraying milk water to fight PM. I...

    Should this worry me.

    I think I was overwatering late into cycle and my plants developed these black spots that look suspiciously like black mold in the leaves. It does not seem to be making it to the buds themselves should I be worried?

    Branches wilting with rot on the stem.

    Yea it is spreading downwards. Grayish fungus inside the stem. Hopefully most of the plant lives for 2 more weeks for harvest.

    Branches wilting with rot on the stem.

    Well it's outdoors and gets plenty of airflow, and I am getting zero actual bud rot so I was leaning away from Botrytis. I guess maybe that corner of the plant is some how pooling a lot more dew then the rest of the plant or was injured some how ans that let bud rot set in who knows.

    Branches wilting with rot on the stem.

    I have had a few branches just begin to wilt this year. When looking at the plant there is a grayish brown rot at the stem. Any idea what's causing this? This is the wilted branch before and the stem after pulling it off.
  19. PhilGrows

    Is this branch done?

    Good idea. It's a week later and the electrical tape and stake have kept it healthy. I don't think the break healed but it's hard to tell with the tape there but the buds and leaves are healthy so I guess it's good enough. The plant is special to me because I have no clue what it is. It was...

    Is this branch done?

    Thanks for the replies. I was able to use the stake I propped it up with to wedge it together more and then closed it tight with some double wide electric tape a city worker gave me when I gave him some weed. A virtuous cycle.
