When I left my plants in fabric grow bags for a month to long, they got root bound. I sliced the bag and carefully trimmed the roots, and planted in the ground. did my best but she never bounced back 100%. After harvest I dug up the root ball and discovered the roots only grew about an inch...

Outdoors I found it best to let them do their thing. Some strains like OG#18 (Indica dominant) naturally have really nice and even branch structure that can't see how topping could help. My Super Silver Haze (Sativa) took a noticeable drop in yield when I topped her. Although if she was the...

I've always order my seeds from Attitude and Nirvana (although haven't used Nirvana in years).

I love White Rhino. Nice strain pick. I've grown it a few times in my early years and I did the same thing as you. I started in small 3g and 5g buckets. No good my friend. Yeah you'll get some nugs, but your wasting your time. White Rhino can really produce if you give it enough room. I grow for...

I've tried many mixes over the years, but for the past few growing seasons I've grown to really like Kellogg Patio Plus potting soil, sold at Home Depot for around $6 a bag. It's not the best stuff on Earth, for example the texture is a little to woody for me, but my plants do great in it...

I don't agree. Yield matters a lot in my opinion. And higher yields does not translate to lower potency. For high yielding strains look towards your sativas. Blue Dream and Super Silver Haze come to mind. However it's arguably more important to plant early and use more soil to achieve better...

Looking closely at the darker green photos, I do notice nutrition deficiencies with the new growth. My suggestion is to do a soil test and be ready to increase the amount of potting soil available or plan on feeding a quick acting fertilizer. In a small container indoors, liquid fertilizers are...

Liquids absorb quickly, so you'll need to feed more often. Dry fertilizer is the opposite, making them a good choice if your looking to feed less often or worried about over fertilizing. Always look at the the NPK numbers of the packaging of the fertilizer or nutrients. While the plant is...

Lighter feeding requirements, less space / soil required, and faster turn around time. Ideal for closet grows or sea of green method. The major con is the size of the plants. They average about 2ft tall.

Looks like a nutrient problem.

I know a farmer who swears by ostrich poop for his giant pumpkins and another buddy who lives for worm castings. Both have amazing gardens. Everyone who grows long enough will eventually settle on their own special methods. I honestly think it has more to do with knowing a particular strains...

Go to your local garden center, buy several bags of the cheapest potting oil, and mix and use as is. Or for a truly custom mix, get peat moss or coconut coir, perlite or vermiculite, and compost (get free from neighbors, churches, waste centers or buy at garden center). Mix ingredients in 1/3...

I'm curious if anyone here has tried essential oils like tea tree, peppermint, eucalyptus, or Neem. I have experience with products that contain them (especially Neem, it's in so many organic incesticides) but I've never used the essential oil versions. I recently came across a recipe that...

I use a Gilmour garden duster, and $15.99 on the Amazon. First I mist my plants with water then I dust them with DE. I also sprinkle some on top of the soil. If I'm really trying to target an area I mix up a thick slurry of DE and water, then paint it on the area with a brush and pour what's...

Three gallons isn't a lot of soil. They'll live but they'll be really small. I personally would think it's a waste of time, but to each their own. If your growing on your own property, legally, then I highly suggest raised beds over just about every other method of gardening (well maybe a...

Pro tip... Start in one gallon containers using a good seed starting mix like Fox Farm Light Warrior or even Miracle Gro Seed Starting Mix , raise indoors (or outside in a cold frame) for one month, then buy several small kiddy pools (100 gallons) and fill with whatever brand of potting soil you...

When you go looking at plants at places like Home Depot or Lowes you'll notice every plant has a label that tells you the feeding requirements and whether it requires full sun, partial sun, indirect / shade, and etc. Some people get confused about what full sun actually means. All it really...

I think he'll do fine. These plants only need six hours of direct light (full sun). Use mulch and common sense. Protect them from pests and the weather and they'll grow out nice.

I put them out when they are a month old, because the pests I'm fighting against the most are grass hoppers and field mice. If I had a cold frame Id put them outside immediately. The trick with putting them outside is to do it slowly over a few days.

Welcome to the game.
