I’ve grown on the north side of Puerto Rico and St Thomas, both with the similar dynamic of prevailing winds bringing moisture that get trapped by the peaks. The south sides are arid. You have to get a little lucky that you don’t get crushed by rain. At least you have a roof to keep them from...

FIM is the moronic acronym that somehow growers have accepted without replacing it with a better term: it stands for Fuck I Missed, and refers to the pinching the top, but not getting it all. If you do it right (meaning correctly wrong) you’ll end up with four tops instead of one. It’s a...

And you’re asking us after you’ve decided upon pot size? That’s easy enough math right? New growers are often surprised to learn that it almost doesn’t matter. The equation of light to space to soil quantity to nutrient availability all make the formula for yield. Quantity of plants is...

Agreed, and even when it goes well, what’s our first move once it has sprouted? Tear it away from the very spot it has taken root, thereby stressing it as it goes into soil. Instead, -Soak seeds in a cup of warm water - ideally coconut water from a freshly opened coco not a can. - rinse and...

Briefly, but they recover. Consider it then defoliation of the roots. I prefer the roots dry for repotting. Use a very sharp thin blade that’s long enough to reach through. I use a fish filet knife. Use down ward strokes beginning near the top of the root ball. Use your fingers to pull away...

Yes, it was not bad genetics, but poor handling of the product

You boys behave!

@racerboy71 wrote “. it could be a land race strain, it could not be, who knows..” Could be anything, and you’re correct of course about it being impossible to identify. But if you knownthe region of Mexico it came from you know a lot. And while we associate Sativa with thin leaves, land race...

Precisely what I thought. I have seen that here only a few times and I own two cheap 280w chinese lights with which I’ve grown mostly beautiful plants. And I’m not in the camp that considers foxtailing a total loss. Unless your selling, bag appeal is a non issue. And every two pistils mean one...

1000w at 15” sounds way too close for seedlings. I’d think that would stunt them more likely than going from Solo to 3 gal. I use a 280 actual watt blurple and keep my seedlings 3’ away, and let them grow into it. If I see stretch I’ll lower the light. Sounds like a typical first grow. You’ll...

Cannabis growers agree that stress is to be avoided, and yet one subject that point is disregarded is the light flip to 12/12. And the stress going from 12 to more hours to re-veg. You can do it with confidence that the plants will fully recover. But I prefer (don’t always do it) to phase my...

Provide support as suggested above, or do nothing and it shouldn’t be a problem. She’s not using energy, sir. it’s not like she’s holding her arms up and getting tired A bent over cola is not inferior to an upright one. Next grow, a gentle fan to make her dance just a little as a seedling will...

I have a case of dynamite that is my therapy dynamite. Do you think if I tell TSA they’re cigars they will allow me to keep it with me aboard the aircraft? Apologies for sarcasm, sir, but joking comes naturally to me in ridiculous situations. You’ll find hash when you get to Nepal. Imagine the...

Good catch. Stoned math - so sorry I’m off by almost half. But a good harvest nonetheless

And vegging feels like standing in line at DMV. Make a fist. Bite the bullet for one cycle and grow your own seeds. So satisfying to create YOUR PERSONAL STRAIN! And it saves a ton of money, and you grow to harvest weeks faster with many plants, which you likely couldn’t afford if you had to...

Wow this is a fun thread. So many thinking abouts - what about this? What about that? What if I ...? And it’s fun because cannabis makes our minds over active. We don’t really need to think this hard to grow. It’s just fun! But to your question in a 3x3, and many breeders estimate yield in a...

I recommend punctuation. Its purpose is to make it easy for the reader to understand you. See how that period ended the statement and you knew it? Now you try it

Yes, just like the nute industry wrote it up! They copied the shampoo business model: soap, rinse. Repeat. Use twice as much for no reason.

I can earn the money to by a light in less time than it would take to post enough to win. And I actually use mars hydro. HEY, there’s my first mention Lol!

Could the wrap be presoaked in aloe, creating what looks wet as with water but it’s really a big blob of rooting gel? Freshly cut aloe works better than canned
