    What yield to expect from a single marijuana photoperiod plant grown in the uk in a polytunnel?

    The question is in the title. Here’s a pic of the plant. ps objective answers please - I’m an amateur - first time in fact. No fisherman’s tall stories needed.

    Urgent! Mould on buds! What to do?

    We have a great plant. It’s got dozens of colas and hundreds of buds. It’s a few days from harvesting. Some tendrils are browning. But we found a few mouldy buds!!! Advice needed. Harvest early? Don’t worry? What can we do?

    Masterclass in final stages of growth needed!

    This being our first photoperiod plant we’re pleased to have got this far! I would appreciate any comments about our plant from experienced growers. Next year we will shape better. I’m also wondering if we should stop root feeding with high phosphorus and potassium nutrient now or continue.

    I need help with dosage for magnesium deficiency.

    My plant is showing signs of magnesium deficiency. The plant is 2.5m high and the same wide, with thinned out foliage, but still quite bushy. It started about a month ago. I’ve treated it with Epsom salts (pure MgSO4) twice a week since. It is suddenly getting worse. Am I using too little...

    Do leaves showing magnesium deficiency go back to green once magnesium is applied via the roots?

    I noticed some yellowing of a few fan leaves on my plant (see pic) so figured out it was magnesium deficiency. I have fed with pure magnesium sulphate and (it’s hard to tell but) I don’t think the problem is worsening. My question is: when the plant has the right amount of magnesium. Will the...

    What to do about the smell of a ripe plant?

    We are in southern England. We have a very healthy plant in a polytunnel. I’m looking ahead and worrying about people smelling our plant when it’s nearing harvest time. We are a few metres from a country road. With neighbours not far away. I’ve attached a ground plan which explains everything...

    Advice on triggering flowering outside

    This is our first photoperiod plant, and the first outside. We have a very healthy plant - now 2 metres high, in a poly tunnel, with lots of growing tips. All good. But I’m reading that the plant will not start to produce colas until daylight hours reduce to 12, which is on September 21...

    What nutrient boosts flowering and strength - I’ve tried searching forums but not found the answer

    As the title suggests, I’m trying to understand how to feed my plants in the late flowering stage. We have lots of small colas and need to boost them before they go to harvest stage. thanks for any advice you have. X

    Have we pruned enough - our colas are tiny!

    We have had these plants for about 5 months and getting near the end. The colas are still tiny. What can we do to boost the yield. Should we remove some of the branches and aim to just boost a few colas? Any advice much appreciated!

    To prune hard now or not to prune hard now?

    We've grown these three photoperiod plants, and switched to short days about 2 weeks ago. We're getting colas forming but they're still small. One option is remove all lower leaves, all branches that are never going to get enough light, and just keep some smaller leaves around the developing...

    How long do Colas take to mature

    We're growing our first photoperiod plants and have just switched to <13 hours per day. Can anyone give me some idea how long it will take for the colas to be ready for harvest? The plants are four months old.

    Snip off the top, or not?

    We were listening to a gardening programme and heard that the top shoot on a stem sends out chemicals which inhibit the growth of lower shoots. They recommended snipping the tip. we’re growing autoflowering (short cycle). We’ve trained the plants and have lots of nice side-shoots. would you snip?

    At least a hundred buds - but all tiny! Help!

    We’ve grown this plant from a second generation seed saved from an autoflowering plant. we’ve got lots of tiny buds but they’re not growing. Is it too late to get a good yield from this plant? If not, is it the seed, or did we give it too much nitrogen? None of the white tendrils are turning...

    Light at the end of the tunnel (my precious...)

    I’ve been doing a bit of research and came across this factoid (see image). I’ve traced a couple of references you might find interesting: https://www.leafly.ca/news/science-tech/why-does-cannabis-produce-thc My question is this. I understand Red light stimulates bud growth and is considered...

    Watering - what are the benchmarks

    Hello people out there who are helpful! We got some lovely colas from our last batch, but too few. We screwed up on the timeline, and didn’t feed them warm light and potassium soon enough! But I’m wondering about watering. I don’t think we’re watering enough. we have ten litre pots filled...

    My autos are producing seeds - just a few

    Are seeds produced by autoflowering plants fertile? We've got about 10 so far from 3 plants. Will they grow well, if at all?

    Average yield for autoflowering plants

    I read all sorts of claims for massive yields from autoflowering plants. I am not convinced... We have got an average 25 grams (just under an ounce) of dry bud per autoflowering plant. On another forum the discussion seemed to suggest that was about average, with 40 grams (1.5 ounces) being...
