    How much temp and RH leeway do I have while drying?

    Okay, I'm currently on Day 6 of drying my latest harvest. The fan leaves are starting to crinkle, but the buds are all still very, very wet. At this rate I think it's going to take about 14 days to dry sufficiently. I've been trying to keep the environment at 60 degrees and 60% humidity, but I...

    10 weeks, not an amber trichome in sight

    I’m growing Gorilla Glue #4 and Kush Mints. The plants are obviously on their way out. They have been in flower 10 weeks. The buds look mature (see photos). But I cannot find a single amber trichome. They’re almost all milky white. An occasional clear. Zero amber. Everyone says they go 10 weeks...

    Using a sweetener before harvest?

    How many of you use a sweetener, like molasses, right before harvest? If you do, what do you use, when do you use it, and what do you feel you get from it?

    I guess I'm officially a farmer now.

    I gradgeeated from the University of Wisconsin six month course on Cannabis Agriculture and Horticulture with a certificate and this incredibly hip and cool internet badge. I know you envy me. But face it, you'll never be this cool. Just learn to live with your disappointment. 😎

    Oops! Broke a bud. What do I do now?

    Bummer! Trying to water the plants today, I accidently broke the branch on a minor cola under the canopy. Too broken to tape back together, so I had to take it. The poor baby was just 6 weeks old. 😢 So now I have a conundrum. What do you recommend I do now? Dry it for 5-10 days? Stick it in...

    Help me decipher PPM readings, please.

    Hi! I need your help. Today for the first time I checked the PPM coming out of my plants. I have two strains, both in Fox Farms soil. They are in mid-flower. One strain's leaves are dying off, and I thought it was a little soon, so worried I might have a lockout. So I checked one plant from...

    Nute lockout or natural process?

    I'm probably just being newbie paranoid, but I wanted to get the farm's wisdom, such as it is. Question: I'm growing two strains. One is light green with leaves dying, the other is dark green. From the video below, am I feeding too many nutes and getting a lockout on the ones on the left? Or am...

    Flower development stalled at 4 weeks. Why can't I do this?

    My plants burst out in buds like gangbusters, and I was optimistic for big colas. All of a sudden, bud development has stalled. I haven't seen any development in the last 5 days or so, at a time when buds should be growing and fattening up like crazy. Info below photos. They are in FF soil...

    What music to play for my ladies?

    My plants are just passed 3 weeks of flower, at Day 24. Plants love music. What kind of music should I play for my plants to make them grow huge, potent colas? In any case, something's coming...

    What are these purple hairs?

    I'm growing a strain called Kush Mints. Flipped to flower a couple weeks ago, and now I've got these cute little button buds all over as the plants begin to flower. But I'm seeing something I've never seen before. For some reason, this strain is showing some very deep purple...what?...stigmas...

    Help! Left light on during flower

    Last night I got up at 2am and realized that, while the grow lights had gone off on their timer at 7pm, I had inadvertently left the overhead ceiling fan light on in my flower room. Of course, I immediately turned it off. But now I'm wondering what is best to do. What I have done (whether good...

    How to Count Flower Days/Weeks?

    I always thought you started counting days or weeks in flower from the day you switch to 12/12. But today, someone very strongly corrected me (nice way of saying "mansplaining"), telling me that you start counting from the appearance of the first flowers. Which is it, farmers? Who is right, me...

    The definitive answer on light green growth, please.

    I need to know why, once and for all. Why is my new growth light (lime) green, when the plants seem otherwise completely healthy? Here are photos: Here's the standard info: Strain: Kush Mints Medium: FF Ocean Forest Soil Nutes: FF Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and CalMag Cycle: This is...

    Why do people grow autos?

    What are the reasons for growing auto as opposed to photoperiod? It is just because it's easier? Or faster? Are there advantages? Is it just convenience? How do the genetics stack up? What is the market for autos?

    Quick, how do I add microbes to soil?

    I've had to use tap water without allowing it to off gas, recently, and I'm concerned I might have killed off beneficial microbes. What do I do to add them back in, now that my water emergency is over?

    How's my setup? Any tips for improving it?

    I bought at 5x10 tent, which was a big move because I have a thing against tents, but whatever. So here's how I outfitted that tent. Is it set up okay? Any improvement ideas? I have two Growers Choice e-ROI 720 LED lights, connected to the Growers Choice controller. 6" diameter exhaust fan...

    Is Fox Farms Ocean Forest just ass, or am I screwing this up?

    Exactly three weeks ago, I transplanted 18 plants into 5 gal. fabric bags filled with pure Fox Farms Ocean Forest. In the past, I had amended that soil. This time, I did not. Well, three weeks into it and all the plants are turning lime green and drooping like mad, starting with new growth and...

    Teach Grandma CannaDana about growing those stocky plants so she doesn't ruin them.

    Hi all. This is my second grow. One of the varieties I'm growing is a short, stocky cultivar, with very short internodal spaces. They are bushy plants, but not tall, and are gaining height at a much slower pace than the other strains I'm growing. So I'm wondering what to expect from these...

    How long can plants in veg go without light?

    We had a huge wind event Friday and we lost power, and it's still out on Sunday afternoon. I'm concerned about the plants being in the dark. Likewise, the temps range from 59 at night to 71 in the daytime, so I'm concerned about the cold, too. The power company has no estimate when power might...
