    I can't figure out what's missing - the leaves started to change color

    Do you know what the strain is? What are your day/night/water temps? Are the bottoms of your petioles purple as well? What is your medium? Genetics and temperatures play a large role in purple hues. The plant looks healthy overall so I wouldn't say P/Mg deficiency/lockout. My guess is that the...

    Washing Outdoor Bud

    I have actually, and have made many many slabs of shatter in the vac oven at 90-110° F at -29.5 hg.. for 2-3 days. Not to mention the vacuum alone brings the boiling point of volatile compunds down. Helpful for the solvent, but not for the terpenes. Even so, everything tastes amazing from at...

    Washing Outdoor Bud

    I've had the same worries, but this one guy with a very large grow seemed sold on it. It seems as long as it isn't too hot the terps/cannabinoids/trichomes shouldn't be affected so I'm all for trying it. I'll be inspecting all samples under magnification so I should be able to detect any...

    Washing Outdoor Bud

    Nice! I'm planning on experimenting with/doing some bud washing this year myself. From what I've read, people have used (in various combinations) h202, lemon juice, baking soda, plain water, warm water, multiple washes and rinses for what seems like positive results. One guy was swearing by...

    Not sure if you have a fan in there or not but like some others have said it looks like you need more light/air. Looks like its showing a little moisture stress as well. Medium may be a little too saturated with other things being considered but the extra light/air should help with that! :blsmoke:

    That works too. But there are still variables there that a newbie might wonder about. "How deep, how much water?" Etc.

    I knew this was coming so I tried to post one before the inevitable question arose. LOL

    Best Germination Method

    Why so toxic? LOL Some people want to read details about the process to learn exactly how and why to do something, rather then hear "plant your seed in soil". I explained the hows and whys. It sounds like this is the method that you use, so congratulations. But, it seems that your words were the...

    It also helps to to soak in warmish water. You at least don't want it to be very cold! Here's a plant about 4 months old. The seed was planted using the method above, and was started directly in the 20 gal pot that it is finishing in. :blsmoke:

    Germinating seeds

    Why into a paper towel? Just plant it into the medium at that point! Less stress. :blsmoke:

    Best Germination Method

    I've fooled around with various methods of germination throughout the years and tbh most of them are garbage and lead to stunted plants! I've also noticed that a plant stunted from birth will never be as big as a plant that was never stunted! It will try to catch up but will remain in the other...

    I really wish there was some more traffic in here! LOL I've spent a lot of time laying out solid techniques in detail that have required a lot of time and testing! I'm sure a lot of ppl could learn something from this thread already. There will be many new experiments and side by sides to come...

    Here is the SIP setup that I made with a 10 gal fabric pot, a 4" net pot, and a short wide storage bin that I believe holds 7 gallons? Idk I cant remember and that sounds a little high like me, I'll have to double check and edit this LOL I didn't take many pics during construction so I'll have...

    A few pictures of my simple SWICK set up Hydroton on the bottom, coco on the top and in the drain holes. You can even use straight perlite just make sure it makes contact with the soil. This seems like it would be much more effective with fabric pots and is how I will be using this method...

    The PVC pipe is part of my SWICK set up and is used to fill the reservoir, but its really not needed because it is an open tote and I could just lift the panda film to fill it with water then replace the panda film. I only included it in my design to avoid having to do that LOL! PVC is only...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    2 seedlings in a 10 gal fabric pot SIP set up outside Keep in mind that's about as much sun as they get! The big girl leaves them shaded for most of the best sun exposure, and they receive mostly indirect/diffused light. They have also been started near harvest time! LOL A few experiments...

    I tried to get some close ups with some app I downloaded but I'm not very good at using it yet LOL! She definitely still has a bit of time left. Hope to get some monster top colas! Damn dog hair is always sticking to the leaves LOL! I'm going to be experimenting with bud washing this harvest...

    Pulled out the ladder so I could peep these top nugs out:weed: A hand/lighter for reference Measurement from the deck. Pot/swick set up adds about 1 1/2 ft, so that puts her at around 8 ft. About 4 months of growth. I can only imagine if she had better sun exposure, a longer veg time, and...
