If you don’t have a microscope, go longer than you estimate. And without several harvests under your belt, you have little frame of reference for how you like your trichomes anyway. It will be great and you’ll enjoy it. Enjoy the process also, and the healthful antioxidants and pleasant aroma...

It pained me, but I cleaned them up and halfway supercropped them. I guess that’s OKcropped them. I admit it looks tidy. I hope my maestra @Silky_smooth approves. They seem to have rebounded from nute overload with a warm flush at last watering. I would normally veg for more time, but they've...

I had to reply again, because I’m stunned that I didn’t think of that before. Me, the guy who surgically pollinates only one cola and wraps it in cheesecloth until harvest to get a hundred seeds or so?! “Me, who had the foresight to buy Polaroid at four and a half?!” I’m always learning here in...

I started with led bulbs and clamp lights and they worked. Maybe more important than wattage is color temperature. 5000K is kinda no man’s land- neither blue enough, and of course not red enough. 6000k bulbs are tougher to find but there is a significant difference that our eyes can’t see, but...

That’s pure genius

At Silky’s request, here are my entrants. They’re cold, crowded and overfed. I must not love them well enough

It’s a fast way to get a few grams of flower per seed, but also a pain to manage many tiny plants if they remained in cups. I currently have only 4 Solo sized plants in a grocery bag. I have room for six bags. They will each deliver a little more than if in a solo cup. With six bags, and I’m...

Silky has nearly begged me, ok, in fact she used the praying hands emoticon, so that counts as begging, doesn’t it??... that I resume growing side by side with her even if it won’t be with my original intended contestants. I do have a few overfed, semi neglected former solo cups going. They’re...

@Kassiopeija I have been addressing Silky as Maestra for many months now. But a word of caution - she is as demanding of her students as she is of her plant subjects! She’ll have you twisted and tied up!

Today, I post a bittersweet report, friends. Both of Silky’s Neville’s Haze seeds sprouted, but failed to shed their shells, stalled, and died. I’m so depressed over it! I began to question my grow technique. But my own seeds sprouted and thrive. Silky’s seeds thrive in Europe. Gotta be X-ray in...

Oy. So many words or am I just tired? Grow, don’t think too hard. The plants don’t need you as much as you think. Enjoy the aroma of flowering cannabis. Allow the naturally occurring anti oxidants and terpenes emitted from live plants, and vaped or smoked flower to preserve your health. It...

25ish% amber I’d guess. And it’s somewhat strain specific. What are you after? Harvest upper buds sooner, and let lower mature perhaps. I like a mix. I deliberately harvest way early for when I want an energetic but short lived high to make home depot fun . But I also love something that pastes...

Why? Explain and if I like your reply and you’re in the US I will mail you at no charge 50 seeds of NY Diesel Kush 50/50. It has relocalized fully to the mid-Atlantic (very near the Potomac River in Washington DC) and thrives in US temperate conditions. By one definition, cannabis brought from...

I’m a soil man, so you’re not likely to approve of my reply. But I shall quote the late, great Dennis Farina’s character from the 2000 film Snatch, also starring Brad Pitt as the incomprehensible Irish traveler/gypsy. (Please no angry DMs). Upon returning from Ireland via England to the US, he...

Are you saying all bud sites receive sufficient light yet still don’t appear to be growing large? It’s a bit unclear A number of valid points were mentioned by others, particularly by @T macc re pot size and root growth. Big roots = Big buds. The E=MC2 of cannabis growing You started with...

Neville’s Haze has sprouted, but as you can see, one is searching for the soil. I didn’t interfere with nature - she has to make it on her own. Let’s hope they pop their heads up. Gracias mi querida Silky para las semillas!

My one attempt. I deliberately flowered her after five months. No drain holes. I got her to bend by setting the cup sideways and tying her down. Then reverse direction. My favorite thing about her is the healthy shoot at the base!

I pulled the mandarin only two days after introducing her. I could tell it wasn’t going to work. Meanwhile I’ve put the lemon in soil. Organic quality stuff whose name I can’t recall, amended with a touch of lobster, kelp & crab granular, and feeding liquid Alaska naturals in mini doses with...

“... I'm assuming huntington beach gets pretty humid so get yourself a dehumidifier ...”. The man started by telling us he’s on a low budget. @Jman108227 Start growing however it works for you. Cannabis defeats nearly all attempts to kill it. You’ll become more skilled over time. Disregard...

You heard the lady! Neville’s Haze it is. And we’ll get to the others in time. I’ve been growing my personally bred 3rd gen NY Diesel Kush for actual harvest, no solo cup game. You’d think it’s ho-hum by now for me, but the taste is so smooth, and the high is layered and complex. No ceiling...
