    Why are my buds smelling bitter/peppery around Sep. 15

    anyhow, so far no major change in leaf coloring in margins, but their noses are decent, just not in direct sun. The flushing didn’t make much of a difference either, but I didn’t really do a “proper flush”. So, we wait...

    i don’t know how this all ends, but I gotta be the change I seek...so I don’t give up on my principles just because anyone else has. At least I find peace in knowing I do what I think is right.

    Ugh, yes...this. I hate capitalism. I wish we could all just help each other out...seriously, who gets joy out of a fat steak you took out a starving family’s mouth? Here’s an idea, let’s play a game where we all try to trick each other out of food, water and resources and whoever has the...

    Nepali Pink and Straw. Cheesecake

    I'm growing NP outdoors in NorCal, trying to find optimal harvest time. I thought they looked almost ready last full moon, but I just felt they were a little underdeveloped, but damn they looked good with all those pink hairs! Now the next full moon is upon us, and they still have a lot of...

    Thanks. Yeah I’m not sure if there will be no more water left soon (LOL) that sounds highly speculative and fear mongering...do you have a peer reviewed reference for this? What algorithm and data was used to model this? Are you an earth/water scientist? I know people fight over water all over...

    what do you think about hitting a couple of those with 5 gal of water with 5 tbsp of molasses, see how the microbes in the ewc can assist? I’m thinking harvest will be 1-3 weeks depending on variety...

    I top dressed some of my girls with a thin layer of EWC, mixed with 1/2 cup/gallon each: langbenite, gypsum, bat guano. Last meal...

    Why are my buds smelling bitter/peppery around Sep. 15

    I like the worm castings idea, I was thinking the same thing. However, I was a bit hesitant to use gypsum, since I used a lot of oyster shell flour and fish bone meal throughout the season, I was concerned about overdoing the Ca, and potentially locking out Mg...but idk, maybe adding gypsum...

    Why are my buds smelling bitter/peppery around Sep. 15

    Not sure about cause/effect, but 2 days ago I topdressed all my girls with some bat guano and langbenite (1/2 cup each per 100-200 gallon pot) and a teaspoon of rainbow mix pro (for micros), after mixing briefly in 5 gallon bucket of water. Not sure if this is why, but I'm noticing a better...

    Clones, similar soil and nutes but not same...good point. I will have to make some better comparisons next season.

    Why are my buds smelling bitter/peppery around Sep. 15

    That’s good advice, I’ll def do a soil test before next season. As I posted above, I’m leaning toward temp stress or mechanical damage, since our rains were pretty heavy last couple weeks. I’m on a southwest slope by the way, and the sun is a mf’r....nights have been in the 50s, but direct sun...

    Thanks for the thoughtful response. Our water is pretty cheap up here, but I’m not out here trying to kill the trout either. I didnt put the extra 200 gallons through it (since we had rain coming, blasted me btw) just the initial 80-100 gallons...you know one full bathtub...and then I skipped a...

    Why are my buds smelling bitter/peppery around Sep. 15

    Yeah, sorry, I buried the details at the top, it’s 20% coco, 10% perlite, 10%lava rock, 30% turkey compost, 30% mushroom compost. I top dressed as per original post..pH a little high where the roots are air pruned at edges of pot (7-7.5), but in middle a nice 6.5. The medium is kind of a...

    We're not in a drought anymore, i'm in coco and perlite/lava rock...the mixture is pretty airy, but I can imagine moisture causing an issue...idk. The point was to try it on one plant and see how it reacts, the rest of my girls aren't getting flushed...so we'll see.

    Also, how is water ruining the plant? ...or the environment for that matter?

    Why are my buds smelling bitter/peppery around Sep. 15

    That's a good suggestion, I'm just using tap, and I know the chlorine levels fluctuate, but I didn't think it would change enough to cause stress. I’m in the mountains and our water is generally low in chlorine. I did a taste test just now and I can not smell or taste any chlorine, but not...

    Why are my buds smelling bitter/peppery around Sep. 15

    I’m all ears...please let me know how you would diagnose at this point. I don’t think it’s arbitrary to put hundreds of gallons of water into one plant to test it. Arbitrary things are done without reason...in this case the flushing is done with clear rationale and with a clearly defined...

    I used a lot of oyster shell flower this year, trying to keep calcium levels up...wonder if that’s factoring in
