How are you controlling the humidity in your grow environment, especially at night when it increases significantly? You might want to check a bit closer for mildew:

If you are early in the cycle, first week to ten days - stop opening the dome to "check" on them! Once you set the clones up with proper amount of water in the cubes close the dome, put 'em under some good light and BACK AWAY. Don't open them for at least a solid week or even more. We've gone...

Uh, not so much. Hate to see folks throwing away good yield by hacking up their plants. Sort of like saying to a bodybuilder "If you want to get big arms you need to cut off your legs. Force some of that energy up into your arms." Pure interwebz BS people. If you want big buds down low it is...

Yes. Our philosophy is to start with as healthy a plant as possible. We use well-fed, vigorous mothers. We do not take away from what nature provided so we do not cut the leaves on the clones. Those leaves are needed more than ever after the clone is cut and it has no other means of survival. It...

Thanks for the detailed replies. I appreciate the time you took to create them. I believe we are looking at significant differences in scale. We are not small hobby growers, We are a legal California non-profit mutual benefit corporation and must do things a small hobby grower might ignore...

Wow. $20. I'd love to see the breakdown of that number. How much for electricity, water, nutrients, growing media, labor, lights, fans, growing equipment, testing instruments, harvesting and curing supplies, and other miscellaneous items? If you're growing inside how much for the property costs...

We recently experimented with making clones under the Sunlight Systems 315w Light Emitting Ceramic (LEC). Got fantastic response from the babies. We left the light approximately 2-3' above the domes because we were concerned about too high light intensity. But the clones loved the LEC. Popped...

Yes. We use 5 gallon food grade buckets. They work great.

Nice bud structure and trichome development. But you might want to take a close look at possible mold starting on the buds. See the three enlarged areas in the picture. Certainly appears to be the tell-tale white "dusting" of powdery mildew ...

Running Gorilla Glue #4 now. Cut came from our connections up north and is the real deal. Got that unique smell when rubbing any of the leaves. Sorta like a chocolate fuel with a slight rubber-like aroma. Very unique. Plants seem to be extremely vigorous. The mother took off under the LEC and...

Super Lemon Haze is one of our "signature" strains. Just finished up a very productive run. We regularly yield 1g/w with this strain. Probably our favorite along with the tried-and-true Skywalker. SLH is extremely popular with our patients. It's our only strain that's completely spoken for...

We find that using slightly more magnesium sulfate in late flower results in better vigor, retention of leaf color and a better aroma in the finished product. Boosting the P&K in the last three weeks of flower is highly over-rated, in our humble experiences. If overdone the PK just burns up the...

69% is a bit high and is commonly used for cigars. Around 62% is just right for cannabis. Boveda makes 62% bags too. I've used 75% bags to rehydrate buds that have gotten a bit too dry. Amazing products.

Cool. If you like to wet trim please continue. For us mold is really not a problem because after harvest and removal of the biggest fan leaves the buds are hung in cardboard boxes with great big flaps cut in them to allow for good airflow for the drying process. We only put them in lidded jars...

You may lose lots of aroma in the final product when taking ALL the leaves off when wet. Much better results and easier trimming to hang the buds and let them dry to 65% or so and THEN trim em up. You might be amazed at the difference. I just posted a reply in another thread that sums up the...

Do these simple things: 1) Dry trim the flowers. Do NOT wet trim. Let me say that again because it's probably the most important point. Do NOT trim immediately after cutting the plant down. Take off ONLY the largest fan leaves and let the sugar leaves and smallest fan leaves remain. These...

Another point that can be made is that strict vegetarians or animal rights activists may be offended by the use of blood, bone, horn, hoof and feather meals to grow their food, but these are primary nutrient sources for organic farmers. Yikes! Wonder how many boners they used to make their...

Yep, and I thought the hardest thing about eating vegetables was getting them back in their wheelchair! Dayummm.

Our laboratory uses mass weighting to verify/validate inputs and outputs. And yes, it really is a matter of mathematics. It works well enough to let the customer know they are receiving 100% of the cannabinoids extracted from their product. We test all materials before extraction to determine...
