    Second Grow Stunts to zero at about week 3-4. Leaves yellow from the top down and curling

    Your pH is too low. There's no fert burn from too much ferts because pH don't allow for ion exchange.

    Drying the Buds without equipment

    You're harvesting one auto flower? This is something Ive done when harvesting a few buds early to taste new strains. Get a container large enough to hang the buds/ plant, or place a plate and screen above it. The drying agent in America is called damp rid. Its used to absorb moisture under sinks...

    What is the minimum time for compost tea to be ready

    Its ready at a minimum of 5 minutes or until steeping runs clear and a maximum of 1 hour, in a compost extract. No added benefit to AACT unless you are quantifying colony growth with a microscope at certain time interval.

    Watering tactics for large grows

    Get a submersible sump pump. Hook up garden hose to pump and water. I put a shut off valve after the male hose end and before the watering wand. Helps regulate pressure if needed and can disconnect wand if clogged without unplugging the pump.

    So, like, what now? They exploded.

    Your plants are pre flower stretching... I would benefit your plants to clean up that naughty jungle of love. Everything below and 2 inches above the PVC and grid gotta go. If a branch originating in that area has made it to the light leave its top and remove the leaves and growth from nodes...

    Whats this ?? My friends clone he bought. I told him to lose the ring

    Pre flowering at the wrong time of season. Have cool weather lately? Did the right thing cutting that off. More water and grow ferts to push back to veg growth. If nothing happens in a week, try light dep and find a replacement

    Plants look like there in 1/2 veg x 1/2 flowering in mid June?

    They will grow out of it likely. Im in Williams, in southern Oregon. The hot cold hot cold can stress your plants to try flowering. It's happening down here too. Its happened a few times the past 10 years. One reason to always keep extras till July. Try cutting off the flowering tops and tips...

    How do I fix the ph on my tap water out of the hose for watering my plants?

    Rez. You got that. Test strips or pH meter. A pH buffer, likely down. A sump pump to water if you don't like schlepping buckets. Since you got the rez, you can make compost extract too. Fill with water. Put 5 gallon compost or EWC in strainer and shake it in the water till runs clear. Use...

    Tips for best possible outdoor crop

    AACT, aerobic activated compost tea. You can go down a rabbit hole trying to build the perfect system. Unless you have a microscope to quantify the beneficial bacteria then use it immediately its just a 24 hr steep of dry ferts, which is good dont get me wrong. But many times the soil microbes...

    Tips for best possible outdoor crop

    Using compost extracts, i rarely have PM even in poorly ventilated dep. Botrytis? Lol. Maybe 1/4 lost in 20 pounds. Over or imbalanced fertilized plants get bugs more often. Moths fly past my plants. Sometimes morning dew isnt morning dew. It can be a sign of over watering. I use over head...

    Tips for best possible outdoor crop

    Wether organic or conventional using homemade compost extract will make everything easier better and more optimal. I have 5 yds compost to make extract with that I use for my deps and full sun. This was the most profound change for me, I didn't need to brew AACT any more. Water. Lots of even...

    What deficiency is this? Nitrogen?

    I have well water, its hard. 7.2 when good much above that later in the season. I rely on compost extract for 6x6x2 beds during veg. Veg ferts are also acidifiers too. Fish fertilizer will lower pH too. When flowering i use liquid fish bone that will lower pH as well as dry ferts, phosphorus an...

    What deficiency is this? Nitrogen?

    Its the plant not the soil or water thats more dependent on pH. Cannabis is an acid loving plant really. Yeah that pH will cause issues and lower growth and yeild. Microbes will acidify the soil and create chelates too. To feed them use sugary water. Molasses is a decent pH down in water too.

    What deficiency is this? Nitrogen?

    Hard water may have calcium but the pH and other dissolved solids lock it up. A pH above 7.2 can over a season or grow be an issue.

    LST FAN LEAVES

    Up your phosphorus first. Early deficiency. Remove them when yellowing or nee growth at nodes shades them out.

    Looking for help regarding the spectrum.

    A little more far red. I tried engineering a tropical grow light set up for my indoors. I had the idea a practical knowledge, my buddy the electrical and technical knowledge. Our biggest issue was the consistency of the wavelength varying from light to light. Used MH, HPS, LED full spectrum and...

    What is this?!

    You won't eliminate the fungus gnats this grow. Or very unlikely without more measures. Starts look good. The appearance to me looks like they are starting to utilize more ferts.

    What deficiency is this? Nitrogen?

    It's not just N+ cannabis is hungry for. The bunched up top could be early Phosphorus and or Calcium. Same with the chlorosis might be phosphorus.
