    dry and cure

    If you dried for 18 days at 60/60 with ample air movement, and your weed is in the jars at 57%, then you're probably good to keep them in there without having to burp them. But I'd still open the jars every few days to smell them to make sure. They might slowly come back up to a higher RH than...

    Every opinion about when to harvest?

    I've had strains where the trichomes NEVER clouded. They were either clear or amber. It seems different for different strains. So I don't really use the trichomes as the only sign of ripeness. I know this won't be very helpful to new growers, but after you've grown weed for awhile, you just get...

    Can you get decent results in 2 gallon containers?

    I would say that I agree that, without good genetics, there's no way to grow good weed. However, I think that, once that's established, then it becomes a matter of which growing technique/medium is going to work for a given grower/environment. Some people can get much better results in grow bags...

    Can you get decent results in 2 gallon containers?

    Well I would consider changing the medium IF I was going to continue to use the bags....BUT....I just checked the root ball in my 2-gallon plastic garden pot (one of the males) and the roots are very healthy. I would say they look healthier than the roots did when I was using the same medium in...

    Can you get decent results in 2 gallon containers?

    The main issue with the grow bags drying out was that I noticed the SIDES of the bags were drying out and not staying wet very long -even a day after watering. So, when I eventually harvested the plants and took the root ball out of the bag, it was about the same size as a root ball grown in a...

    Has anyone ever gotten 100% males?

    Probably the fewer plants someone grows at a time, the more chance there is of having a higher percentage of males turn out. Well, it's starting to look like every regular seed I popped this run, is turning out to be mannish. I started 2 seeds each of 4 different strains. Thank God the 2...

    Do rec. stores/dispensaries sell auto flower weed?

    First of all, I am not an advocate for auto flower weed. I never grew up with it and I don't see the point of it. The limited experience I had with it was that it tasted funny and looked funny. This was years ago, though, and I understand that a lot of work has been done to improve it. Sorry...

    Can you get decent results in 2 gallon containers?

    I guess what I fear is having the pots get root bound and the plants suffering through flower. I suppose there is still time to repot the fems up into a larger size if I get any more male pre-flowers popping up from the reg seeds.

    Chocolate Thai F4/NL#2/Meig's OG/Race Fuel/Tuna Kush

    And just to add.... I've tried to figure a way to describe what the real Thai weed smelled and tasted like. The only things I can come up with would be to describe the smell as being kind of a "sexy woman" smell -nasty and intriguing...combined with some kind of ancient incense mixed with...

    Chocolate Thai F4/NL#2/Meig's OG/Race Fuel/Tuna Kush

    Hi. Thank you! The Chocolate Thai was....at this point...I would call it disappointing. It did not grow at all like any SE Asian strain I have ever seen. It was short and the colas looked a lot like an auto flower. It didn't have much of a smell. The taste is...meh. I probably wanted it to be...

    Can you get decent results in 2 gallon containers?

    Okay so here's my dilemma...I started 8 seeds 35 days ago....One fizzled out right away...Then I was at 7 plants...I just noticed what is likely a male pre-flower on one of the remaining 7 plants...so IF it turns out to me a male, then it will also be culled. Now, I'm down to 6 plants and some...

    Do roots continue to grow during the flower cycle?

    Does the root ball continue to get larger after the plants are in flower? Or, is it something that stays pretty much the same after the flip? Thanks

    When should I start top dressing with flower booster?

    I have some options and I wanted to try the Flower Girl organic powder stuff. I'm at about 3 weeks veg at the moment. I know it's going to take some time before the top dressing breaks down and penetrates into the soil....So when should I start and how often should I apply it? Thanks

    Will my plants be damaged after 6 hours of 10 degrees

    LOL! I was thinking in terms of Fahrenheit not Celsius...10 degrees Fahrenheit for two days...."Houston we have a problem!" ;) But that's 50 degrees Fahrenheit so you'll be fine. LOL!

    HLG Tomahawk 650 bar light

    Nice light! I have their 300 Red Spec one....I like it a lot so far. My only small criticism is that the dimmer doesn't go to all the way "off"...Not a big deal at all, but I'd just like it if it did.

    How well do grow tents protect your plants from light leaks ?

    Bruce Bugbee says that if it's dark enough that you can't read a book, then it's dark enough to not trigger any plant response. I tend to err on the safe side, so my tent is in a spare room that is 100% pitch black, light proof. But, there are some pretty nice tents now -not just Gorilla.

    Are bag seed ok to rely on and germinate?

    I'm just now learning that an S1 seed and a seed made from a 'nanner are essentially the same thing. In one instance, you use a chemical to get the plant to produce some pollen -except that, since the plant is a female, the pollen it produces will only carry the female chromosome. In the other...

    Clone vs S1

    But isn't that because everyone is always searching for the holy grail? Back in the 70's we didn't even know what a trichome was. Most of the weed didn't look frosty at all. It wasn't until the Vietnam war happened/ended that people started bringing in Thai weed and all those weird SE Asian...

    Clone vs S1

    I supposed that would depend on which qualities the grower was trying to stabilize, right? My understanding is that GG#4 has a lot of Chemdog genetics in it...and, if the story about the original Chemdog strain is true, then it, too, was from some bag seed. I know that LOTS of strains were made...
