    Spider Farmer Giveaway, Looking for SE5000 Tester!!!

    I am finishing up my FIRST (!!!) bathtub grow (six plants Irie Genetics Lemon Jeffery). I was very heavy on interventions: I supercropped, schwazzed, LSTed, topped, FIMed, underfed, over watered, under watered and did everything except stab through the main trunks of the plants. So far I have...

    I may be wrong about the nematodes as it's been a few decades. But every time I started an outdoor garden, the tomatoes and other veggies would grow like a house afire. But then they would start dying. I would look at the roots and they all had these little nodules that someone told me were...

    Hello all, my 1st grow... Thoughts

    I don't know about defoliation, by I'm finishing up my first grow as a black thumb at over 1gram/watt. I did everything to the girls as I'm a stay at home hausfrau and had nothing better to do (except housework, taxes, yardwork and anything else I could hide from). So I supercropped, schwazzed...

    I'll be doing a bigger table next grow and had not even thought about separation of the bags. That's a good idea. I have the girls sitting on little racks for drainage, but they are all squished together-and quite moist if I push a finger between the pots halfway down. Great idea, especially...

    You're absolutely right on the oversized pots. It is interesting that the 3gallon pot got 1/3 less yield than the 7gallon pots. Just like I've read all over, the five gallon fabric pots are just the right size for what I want to grow. I'm going to let the last few buds on the plant ripen a...

    Grove bags,drying, curing opinions

    Well, this is my first grow and after doing research, I decided that I didn't want to deal with the hassle of mason jars. So here is my experience so far, from an absolute newbie point of view. Besides, I have to go out of town and burping jars ain't gonna work. I bought the ¼lb bags, both in...

    This morning there were double of what I had yesterday. So I killed as many as I could in between sips of coffee. I would have liked to buy or make my own sticky traps, but Hubby's away until later this week and we only have one vehicle. And it's too far to walk to the store. So I pulled out...

    "Just a note about neem oil. It's been recently found to form toxic substances when burned and smoked." The last time they got Neem oil (foliar and drench was at the beginning of flowering, 11 weeks ago. Shouldn't it have dissipated by now? Not a problem for me as I only do edibles, but Hubby...

    I forgot to post the buds that I left on the girls. I figure a net ounce or a little more. The biggest mistake I made was doubling the fabric pots. I thought they would dry too quickly. I could have (and should have) watered less frequently, but I wanted to get nutes in more than once a week...

    Thank you for all your suggestions! I didn't cut it all (see pix below), I left enough to continue drying out the soil, my back will not let me pick up 7 gallon pots of wet soil. I'll keep an eye on them every day and they'll get no more water until they're dead. After weighing the buds, I...

    Ooooh ooooh ooooh! I'm so excited! I have never had any success with any type of garden. Like I mentioned, I'm lucky to get 50-60% survival rate on tress and shrubs. I'll post my weights when they're done drying.

    Growsince79, looking at your posts and experience, I think I will cut them over the next few days. Since I won't be trying to prolong the life of the plants for further growth, should I do the 48 hours of darkness first?

    They are Lemon Jeffery, supposedly takes 60-70 days to flower. But, but, but, the trichomes say they ain't ready? Hubby wants max THC levels if possible. I want maximum weight. I'm hoping to get over the 1g/watt ratio and if the buds keep gaining weight, that's more likely. The LEDs make...

    Good day, all, Quick recap: Soil grow FFHF Photoperiod day 87 flowering Still many buds w/ white pistils, clear trichomes I've been having some fungus gnats all along, but they have not been heavy as I've been attempting to fight a war of attrition by squishing them-when I can get 'em. They're...

    I'm pissed. Neighbors, BS. Please advice

    I have a close friend who's a cop. He's thrilled that the smell of cannabis is no longer grounds for search. He'd much rather go after drunk drivers and people who don't carry auto insurance. Now, THAT pisses him off

    How long will white pistils continue popping up(after 12+ weeks flowering)

    Well, AZ, I need to preface this all with caveats: I have no life. And I have spent an enormous amount of time and energy in learning what I can. Anything I've done is purely based on my reading countless blogs and posts. This is my first ever even semi-successful garden/houseplant of any kind...

    How long will white pistils continue popping up(after 12+ weeks flowering)

    I just bought Irie's Donatello and Rafael for next grow from my local dispensary with Tuesday discount, only $8.50 a seed. Nice thing is that I bought 24 feminized seeds, but there were 30 seeds, so I got 6 free ones. The last pack I bought of the lemon Jeffery had "only" the six seeds. But...

    How long will white pistils continue popping up(after 12+ weeks flowering)

    Hi all, I'm doing a staged, partial harvest every 5-6 days (before water and nutes). So far I've just pulled buds that were casting shade on other buds. Some of them have had a few to more clear trichomes, along with mostly cloudy with a touch or more amber ones. There are lots of colas and...

    I stressed my first grow because I could?

    I forgot that another intervention was fermenting hard apple cider for about a month with the tube of the CO² exhaust going into the plants. You can see the tube in the photo below. The thermometer/hygrometer is usually within the plants, ignore it in the foto. That's a remote...

    I stressed my first grow because I could?

    Still a little harsh before curing, but Hubby says the high is at least as good as what we get at the dispensary. I do edibles and will be waiting until after the cure to decarb mine. I need couch lock so I can sleep, so I want more Amber than what I already have harvested.
