    magnesium deficiency diagnosis ( 1 week update )

    I'm not familiar with any of the commercial products - I forage for fresh kelp myself. Here's a recent thread with some opinions. https://rollitup.org/t/gs-plants-fish-kelp-liquid-fert.1079767/ You won't need a lot ... it's one teaspoon to a gallon of water type of dilution ratios. You'll...

    magnesium deficiency diagnosis ( 1 week update )

    No, I got that. I'm saying that tap water is better. Ignore chlorination stories, especially for your first grow. Unless your local water supply is really f-cked up pH wise, use that ... it has trace elements and minerals that your plants need. Those might be in small quantities, but they are...

    magnesium deficiency diagnosis ( 1 week update )

    The ill effects of chlorination in the water have been overplayed. It won't hurt your plant at all, and cannabis needs a little chlorine to be healthy. The only downside is that the chlorine can (marginally) reduce your microbe population, but it's not that big a deal. Let the tap water sit...

    magnesium deficiency diagnosis ( 1 week update )

    Anyone feel free to shoot me down if I'm wrong, but if your water doesn't have trace elements, then isn't a 'sea based' feed a good source to get those? Maybe try a little fish hydrolysate or kelp. Broad range of trace elements and micronutrients in those, and couldn't do any harm I reckon.

    Hey Hey

    @farmerfischer No need to apologise to this "user". He's working the community forums for free advertising, and professing innocence, and playing the victim card. He knows exactly what he is doing.

    Is this mycelium growing?

    It looks like some kind of mould or fungus. Give us some more info to go on. - what are you doing - what's in the jar - what are you trying to achieve

    Fungus gnats/ sciarid flys. What should I do

    A vinegar trap helped me out when those buggers were attacking my psilocybin grow. I used apple cider vinegar and fresh orange juice. Obviously, try to deal with the root cause, but this works well to catch and kill the flying adults.

    Hey Hey

    @sunni We got someone here who would like to see the advertising rate card. Or maybe he wants to offer himself as an influencer for paid posts.

    Root zone temp worry

    Yes, they have temperature control, but not by degrees, just a graded dial rheostat. You will need to 'calibrate' with a thermometer to find your ideal setting. I saw this earlier today in another thread. Looks great and super slim for tight spaces.

    I just can't

    That does not look anything like the actor they hired to play the part of Neil Armstrong. And besides, they got the scale way off in this one.

    How do I spread these girls' legs out without hurting them?

    Never tried it myself, but I've read about folks using a rubber band as an anchor for the tie to each branch ... as a 'shock absorber' to lessen some of the stress and tension.

    Reuse Soil?

    This. Exactly this. I have 4 or 5 totes, about 50 litres or 12 gallons each. After each harvest, I fill each to about 20% with the soil from my outdoor pots after harvest, and chuck in 100 or so earthworms. While I wait for next outdoor season, I throw in raw food scraps, banana peels, ground...

    Double branching

    Yup, me too. At each node, you've got a branch above, and a fan leaf stalk below.

    Outdoor : Keeping a male growing long enough to harvest pollen

    Thanks @Boatguy & @farmerfischer More good ideas to add into my thinking. For safety's sake, I might prefer to get it the hell way from the rest of my females before it knocks them up and gives me seeds on all of them. I'll probably 'bonsai' it with a root trim and branch prune, but let it...

    Outdoor : Keeping a male growing long enough to harvest pollen

    New question: If I wanted to keep him here in my same yard as my girls for a while longer Can I cut his balls off as nanners appear ? Or will that a) stress him out b) expose my ladies to too much chance of pollination because it's hard to get them all, and there is too much chance I will...

    Outdoor : Keeping a male growing long enough to harvest pollen

    Great! Thanks. That's the kind of new info I hadn't found in any searches, or thought about yet. So based on that, I'll do one or more branch prunes and a gentle root trim between end December and mid Feb. I'll make sure to finish with any stress stuff by end Feb, and have him in his final pot...

    Outdoor : Keeping a male growing long enough to harvest pollen

    So I'm busy sexing out my 7 week outdoor plants by way of pre-flowers. I am selecting females to grow for the duration of my Southern hemisphere outdoor season - 12/12 is beginning March - bud harvest is end May 2023. This morning I found my 1st confirmed male, and it is seed from an unknown...
