    Germinating seed in starter plug

    In the past I’ve used wet paper towels and as soon as it cracked and the tip of the root showed I’d transfer directly to my growing medium. First time germinating dropping seed into the little hole of a moist rooting starter plug. 3 days ago. They’re at about 78F and in a humidity dome. I...

    Alternatives to treating high PH hard well water

    I’ve not had my personal well wasted analyzes but I do know this...it comes out of the ground at around PH 8.1-8.2. It’s also at a PPM of about 300-335. Not sure what the dissolved solids are... My soil grow plants keep locking up. The more water I run through them (as in the older the plant)...

    New grower: is this a hermie plant (sigh) 😭

    beginning Week 7 flowering in soil. Well it figures that my most healthy most lovely flowering super skunk plant would erupt in what appears to be nanners and what looks like already seeds developing. 😓 So I guess unless I want it to pollinate all the rest of my plants I gotta kill it huh? It...

    What are the consequences of high humidity levels?

    I guess I gotta buy a little 1 pint dehumidifier. RH in my tent is hovering in the mid to upper 80’s. I’ve got good airflow inside but it’s a homemade tent and I’m not using an inlet...it’s just slightly drafty and not sealed up. The plant mass and the moisture in the pots is just accumulating...

    Look at these leaves and tell me what I might be deficient in

    Not a big issue but ya never know... Week 5 in flower. Growing in soil. Looks great overall but I’m rapidly losing lower leaves and a spotting has rapidly spread on the plant leaves. It’s difficult to photograph. It’s not brown, yellow, or other colored spots. It’s almost just a slightly...

    Please tell me all is not lost...

    Long story short...I haven’t grown anything in almost 10 years. I wasn’t any good at it then... So, this is really my first REAL ATTEMPT towards trying to do a really good job growing. I think I failed miserably. I’m pretty sure I know what mistakes I made and I learned a ton in the process...

    Question about seed genetics from self pollinated female

    If a stressed female plant self pollinates and creates a few precious seeds (essentially a small handful of feminized seeds) every time I have seen plants grown from these...they were beautiful female plants. I’m NOT talking about even a mild case of hermaphroditism. It’s usually at the very...

    PH strip reading - basic question

    I have these ph strips. The instructions say “read immediately”. The word “immediately” is in bold. When I’m looking at them after dipping into a solution they rapidly darken over about 7-10 seconds. Do I read them in that first second or two/three or is the value after say 7-10 seconds more...

    How much do you think this plant will yield?

    I’ve got roughly 3 grows under my belt. Once in 2002 in a closet with a buddy. Once outside around 2005 in some containers that did ok except there was so much leftover salts the weed wouldn’t even burn. And there was another closet grow that was pretty bad too around 2011 I guess. This is the...

    Can I use a 400w standard magnetic ballast on a 315w cmh bulb?

    I understand old school magnetic ballasts (typically for MH or HPS bulbs or convertible) work fine for CMH bulbs. True? Is a 400w sufficient? I understand I’d need a socket adapter if the cmh reflector socket set is mogul.

    Is this magnesium deficiency?

    Plant is a clone grown in soil under 18 hours of veg led light. Does this looks like magnesium deficiency? It’s only on a few tips. Some leaves were a tad crispy too. Which considering that I’ve given it a few doses of Epson salt it feels like it might be partially locking out magnesium due...
