    Autoflowers outdoors?

    Greengrouch this was definitely one of my conjectures early on...but I'm telling you man these buds are really freaking light and airy. I've since acquired Acapulco Gold photoperiod seeds and am planning on running them next summer to compare. Not a scientific study, by any means, but at least...

    Potassium Bicarbonate during late Flower

    Hi all, I had 2 Lemon Bubble photoperiods over the summer and one of them ran long into November. My outdoor deck loses direct sun pretty quickly in late Sept/early October so the plant started getting powdery mildew in late flower, unfortunately. I read up on various mitigation approaches and...

    Autoflowers outdoors?

    Wow, nice to hear you pulled successful grows through that heat. My dad grew up in Massapequa. Those summers can be intense...

    Autoflowers outdoors?

    Thanks old_smoke that’s great to hear. Just out of curiosity, what’s your latitude and/or what were the environmental conditions?

    Autoflowers outdoors?

    Well, ok let me walk that back. I don’t think growing autos outdoors is patently wrong - I just think it is rolling the dice to do it indiscriminately since one might end up harvesting at a bad time…say, in August when the temp and rh are both in the 90’s and you're at serious risk of mold...

    Autoflowers outdoors?

    Feel free to challenge this or flat-out disagree, but I think growing autoflowers outdoors doesn't make any fucking sense. It's a weird thing to say since Ruderalis has evolved outdoors like any other strain, but because their lifecycle is not dictated by the sun in the majority of our...

    The definitive guide to destroying PM and keeping it away!

    Does anyone have any thoughts on their harvest after using Potassium Bicarbonate? I recently had to use it on a plant that was growing into early November. I harvested the first plant of the same strain back in September (not treated with PB) and definitely notice that the harvest treated with...

    Seedlings Frozen in Time

    Yeah…I’ve been wondering that too. Did not expect them to stay so moist this long

    Seedlings Frozen in Time

    So I’ve got 2 purple kush cbd 1:1 autos that started well and sprouted in peat pellets. I transferred them to small planter pots with FFOF 5 days ago and watered them thoroughly (with drainage). Put them in a tent with some more mature plants and the light was too intense - burned them yellow a...

    Do leafier buds smell more musty?

    For sure! I plan to cure for a couple months and I’m already sampling the flower to see if I can notice a difference over time.

    Do leafier buds smell more musty?

    This would make sense per the Acapulco Gold smelling earthier. The buds were very airy and wispy so I had a hard time trimming the leaves without worrying about the bud staying together (smaller calyxes, lots of pistils, etc) and as a result the AG is leafier…hence, it smells earthier/mustier

    Do leafier buds smell more musty?

    Dried Acapulco Gold for basically 2 weeks at roughly 70 degrees F and 58% RH. Been curing for 3/4 weeks now Dried Lemon Bubble for maybe 11 days at roughly 68 degrees and 56% RH. Been curing for 2+ weeks now environmental factors were sort of out of my control, hence the variance between the...

    Do leafier buds smell more musty?

    I also didn’t do much trimming before drying, so maybe that’s a factor? Might try a full-fledged wet trim with the next run and see if that makes a difference.

    Do leafier buds smell more musty?

    Hi all, I’m relatively new to growing and don’t have a ton of experience so I’m wondering if those with more experience can answer this question: Has anyone noticed (anecdotally) a difference in the smell of your buds if they have more sugar leaves or less sugar leaves? Specifically, if your...

    Seedling leaf disfiguration at tips

    Captain Shit yeap the increased discoloration is pointing more and more to nutrient lockout. Dont think there’s much I can do if this soil is juiced up. Might let these keep going for the sake of experimentation…but yeah they ain’t looking too happy.

    Seedling leaf disfiguration at tips

    I'm also beginning to think this strain is just super slow to start. I have another plant in the tent that is 10 days behind the first. I started it with a peat pellet instead of dropping it straight into the soil and it doesn't have any disfiguration, which lends credence to the idea that the...

    oh right - sorry that's what I meant...chlorine not fluoride.
