soft, black, Afghani -circa 1977

1. Don't veg. as long 2. Use side-lighting 3. Don't buy any seeds from Hazeman ever again.

Some purples have a really unique flavor. It's a "purple" flavor! I've had some that were very delicious. Others.....not so much. But that's the same case for green plants, too. Some are good and some aren't. In naturally purple plants (not cold-induced), the chlorophyl is less prominent and...

That picture is somewhat misleading, as well. It appears that the purple is only coming through on some of the smaller leaves. By the time that bud gets trimmed, there will be very little purple left. And yes, I have experienced this variance among almost every seed breeder I've purchased...

Well, this is another very complex hybrid which includes lineage from a BUNCH of other complex hybrids -each of them capable of presenting any number of genetic traits. Barney's obviously took a picture of the best looking cultivar they had, but there's always a chance that there could have been...

Put the resin into a plastic bag. Fill a straight-sided glass bottle with boiling water and screw the lid on. Put on a pair of gloves and roll over the plastic bag with the bottle as if you are making a pie crust. If the resin is good, then you'll see it melting together inside the bag as you...

DE is a rather harmless way of treating bug infestations on garden plants compared to a lot of other products. Like I already stated, I wouldn't worry about it. Your DE is designated for garden use. But you absolutely don't want it on your buds. The power will stick to them and you won't be able...

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it IF you just applied it to the soil. IF you got it on the flowers....that would be a concern. I use DE all the time in my outdoor vegetable garden.....and it's not food grade. In fact, it's "ant-killer" grade! :) Be very careful about applying anything around...

Unless you are fully prepared to grow, then you probably shouldn't attempt it. It's not worth it to risk too much for some weed -especially these days when it's available almost anywhere. Start a grow op only when there's no fear of being "screwed" if any smell escapes....because growing weed...

Captain Jack's Dead Bug worked for me to kill them outright. After that, I got a duster for Diatomeceous Earth, took them into the garage and dusted the heck outta them. I'd NEVER do any of that during flower, though. It's VERY important to keep a clean environment that's free of "vectors" for...

After years of doing this and reading similar posts, I am absolutely convinced that pH is probably the #1 culprit among plant problems. Pre-mixed soil-LESS mixes sometimes assume that people are growing tomatoes and they make the mix very acidic. But, when the pH turns out to be as high...

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...

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...

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...

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?
