    Whats eating her and how do i stop it?

    It could be those tiny slugs, but it looks very similar to a bug that often invades my garden tomatoes....the "potato flea beetle" is what it's known as. Look for tiny, flea-like beetles that jump. You have to catch them at the right time of day or they retreat to the surrounding soil. They jump...

    HELP: SIRIUS BLACK SEEDS

    Oh okay. Well I've never heard of it and I've never purchased any seeds from that breeder. There's probably hundreds of similar strains. Nothing is that unique anymore. What is the terpene profile like? What does it smell/taste like? Is it a high CBD strain? What's so special about it to you...

    HELP: SIRIUS BLACK SEEDS

    yeah that's what I'm saying....There is literally no way to achieve any consistency with a new strain when the breeding is being done with complex hybrids....the reason being, the complexity and the time it would take to select and stabilize for a given trait with a lineage that contains so many...

    HELP: SIRIUS BLACK SEEDS

    It does no good to pick seeds by name, anymore....too many complex hybrids for there to be any consistency. What you need to do is to look for terpene profile descriptions. I have no idea what Sirius Black even is...What is its lineage?

    Would I be able to harvest her tomorrow? Day 64F

    If it's a clone then the phenotype is the same, but when your plant finishes has to do with environmental conditions, as well. The plant in the picture has a week or more to go....maybe 2 weeks -not knowing anything about it, ofc.

    When Did Spider Farmer Stop Using Meanwell Drivers?

    It seems like all the excitement about new lights has kinda....."faded"....*cough*....Man, I remember HEATED arguments about lights, drivers, Cree, Meanwell....Now, it only matters if the lights are good enough to get through a couple runs.....then they break....a new diode or something-or-other...

    First time tomato grower could use some advice please

    Yeah, or use up some of that Cal-Mag that we all have too much of for our "other" crops! ;) But, yeah, I seem to get blossom end rot on some varieties and then, another variety, right next to it, is perfect. Genetics! It's all about the genetics! I save all my seeds every year, too. I must be...

    Is everyone having trouble getting rid of their weed

    I think there's some people who take a trip to SE Asia, get some wild seeds, thinking it's the legendary landrace Thai weed of old.....In fact, it's basically just some wild hemp-like plants that grow everywhere and there's nothing special about them at all. Sure, they display a similar...

    Is everyone having trouble getting rid of their weed

    I just GAVE away a QP from my last grow, to a friend who was in need. It was mids. It wasn't MY fault that it was mids. The plants were GROWN to perfection. It's just that there are a bunch of people selling seeds that are hemp-ish or some of that auto flower/fast flower shit. Nobody knows what...

    First time tomato grower could use some advice please

    I prefer indeterminate heirloom types for flavor. My favorite is Pineapple (especially for a BLT).....Also love Green Zebra and some type of Roma (best in salsa, imo). I usually include a Black Krim, too and I try a few new ones each year, as well. The trick is to get the fruit ripe on the vine...

    My first grow, problems during flowering. Will it be able to finish?

    You start counting the flower phase when you switch the lighting schedule from 18/6 (veg) to 12/12 (flower), typically -IF your plant is a real, photoperiod, marijuana plant. The name of that strain indicates that it might be a "fast flowering" plant....which involves using a completely...

    It's been a long time RIU. I want to PRACTICE drying and curing but I don't have fresh cannabis at hand.

    60 degreesF and 60% relative humidity for 2 weeks. As long as the environment is perfect and constant, then the weed will dry out only to the point of that environment. It would be impossible for it to get drier than the environment, in other words. At that point, you can harvest and trim at...

    POSTING FOR HELP IDEA

    I doubt anyone here is going to make any changes or add any features. When I made a suggestion awhile back, it was immediately rejected and I was told that this site is planning on changing its format to a more Reddit-like layout. Lots of people have migrated to other places....especially after...

    How to identify first node?

    On my last grow, I didn't do any manipulation of the plant and allowed it to grow according to its genetic blueprint. I ended up with results that were better than expected....and it didn't involve any recovery time.

    Need help - I have weird burn on leaves during my vegetative state

    It is now VERY, VERY likely (in my opinion) to be low pH/nutrient lockout because most of these tomato soil mixes are extremely acidic -the idea being that tomatoes like acidic soil. PLUS, "osmocote" is a slow-release fertilizer that they mix into the soil. So, if you add more fertilizer to it...

    Need help - I have weird burn on leaves during my vegetative state

    Looks like at least thrips, bug-wise, Calcium deficiency or pH lockout going on.... Soil looks bad. You probably vectored in all kinds of critters from some random outdoor garden soil or something. One thing a lot of inexperienced growers don't understand is that weed will "survive" under a lot...

    Different Strains

    I always advise growing a variety. Whenever I've grown just one variety, I get sick of it after awhile. Of course, the trick is to get a variety of tastes that I like. I've grown 4 varieties and ended up only liking 1 or 2 of them. It takes time to find the flavors these days, because most...

    Pull leaves or not week 6 flower

    I'd almost guarantee you that your runoff pH is going to be lower than 6.3. I grow in a similar medium....FFOF as the base and then added various inert amendments. What I learned is that, at around that time (week #6) the plant's root hairs start to die back. The plants don't uptake nutes from...

    Are the more expensive seeds worth it?

    The problem I have with clones is that, even if I find a great one, it's only going to be so long before I get sick of it. After that, I end up right back at square one again. Tastes change after awhile. I prefer growing from seed because there is a chance that I will get something great AND...

    Are the more expensive seeds worth it?

    Even with expensive seeds, it can be hit/miss. It amazes me how much total bunk there is out there! My God! I see something that says, "Northern Lights #2"....I bite....I grow it....It sucks. I see something else that says "Chocolate Thai"....I grow it...It sucks...I see another variety that...
