Hey there @Klone00, How'd it all go? I'm thinking ur plants made it to harvest? Please share the good, the bad and the ugly with us. If U want. Peace 'n Love... :peace:

Exactly... Just like I said: "Of course, in nature, it is also true that only the strong survive." So, like I also said... wash ur buds with the recipe I shared and U should have no problems. Just trying to help... :weed:

Please forgive me for stating the obvious, but in nature, it rains. These plants that we cherish so much have endured the test of time throughout millennia. Of course, in nature, it is also true that only the strong survive. In modern-times we want to keep all the plants that we grow (if we...

I grow exclusively outdoors. But to answer your Q properly, one must define "beneficial" and "better". There are benefits to each method and better depends on what ur looking for. I prefer outdoors because sunlight is free. The only neighbor that can see over my fence also grows, so I'm safe...

@epbadger, If I may offer a different opinion... I use the above as a guide when I need to know when to harvest. On the 3 pics U provided, I saw no "white hairs" in the first 2 pics and only a few in ur 3rd pic. I also see lots of milky white trichomes. If this were my garden, I'd...

If I may clarify... Because your case of botrytis was from the outside in, it is far less likely to have as many spores spreading around. What I'm driving at is the fact that, when it's deep in the under layers of the bud, it thrives and grows undetected for quite a while. This is how it...

@Klone00, if I may kindly say... While I have seen this kind of thing in other grows, unless U R in a location where U need to move them in a hurry, there is little benefit in using buckets in this way. This will actually hamper root growth near the surface which are the ones that gather the...

@george_clooney, I agree with @PadawanWarrior, @Richalpha, and @HydoDan... Those buds have been sprayed with something, probably Neem Seed Oil. Neem is not as safe on buds as once thought. During veg is fine though. This is why I grow at home! I grow strictly outdoors and each strain smells...

@surfgeo I absolutely agree with ur assessments. I saw nothing more in ur pics that would indicate the mold was deep inside. By all accounts it DID look like botrytis, and going on everything U've provided, I believe U've "nipped it in the bud" so to speak. Now that U know what to lookout...

Sure thing... Happy to help. In your post at the top of this thread, look at your 3rd pic. There you'll see some shriveled, dead leaves. This is the classic sign of bud rot. Also, the top of that same bud has some dirty, crumbly looking stuff on top. To me, this looks like the tip of that...

Hello everyone, I know I haven't posted here in a very long time, but if I may add my 2 cents... What I see in these pics from @surfgeo looks VERY much like bud rot aka grey mold. This is most commonly caused by caterpillars in outdoor grows, and rough handling can open wounds which allows the...

Hey there Craig, I'm wanting to "see for myself" just how prolific (or not) the microbes are in my ACT. Will a hand held scope, 60x to 120x, work? Another way of asking this... what's the minimum power of magnification needed to see these critters? Thanx

Thank you Nl5xsk1, Yes, I'm hearing this from others too. Problem is I don't have any more. Even if I whipped up a new batch, don't I have to let it "bake" in a trash can or something for 30 days first? I will remember this for next year though. :weed:

With CBD rich strains, PTSD and PPD simply melt away

Hello RD and to anyone else that's listening, After doing more research online, I just discovered I doubled (maybe tripled) the dolomite lime in my mix of Sub Cool's Super Soil. Could this be, at least part of, the reason why I had such high ph in my soil? Sorry for the continued Q's... I'm...

Wow! Thank you RD, this is great! So, does this book (and/or others?) state how much of each of the soil amendments needed to properly set, or buffer, the ph of the soil, or is this won by trial and error? Reason I'm asking is because I mixed my Sub Cool's Super Soil based on established...

Hello RD, I have an outdoor grow using Sub Cool's Super Soil and I have some questions: How do I get to the place that I don't have to PH the water going in and out of my pots? I wasn't PHing and ran blindly into an alkaline wall without knowing it. My PPM where literally off the scale too...
