    Ladybugs Are Awesome - Eradicated Fungus Gnats

    I've had an issue with both aphids and fungus gnats in my indoor tents. In order to eradicate both/either, I would have to shut down completely and sterilize which I can't afford to do in terms of lost bud vs. chronic need. The solution? Ladybugs! While I have ladybugs amongst my plants, both...

    Will this grow out of it and be healthy? Should I keep it ?

    In my experience, seedlings at this point can bounce back, without question....how long it takes, that is the question...if you need to keep the strain then keep going, if you can start again, do that

    Decarb Failed - Can I salvage anything from butter?

    Do you prepare the tincture with 100% ethanol? Sadly not available in the People's Republic of Ontario. Can't even get 90%, I think the highest available is like 50% and it would be too expensive like any liquor in Canada.

    Decarb Failed - Can I salvage anything from butter?

    I was the same with purchased edibles, especially ones with just THC. Making my own is cheaper and full of all cannabinoids, not just THC. I still need at least ~350mg for a buzz, +500mg to get stoned and over 1000mg to get wrecked (calculated using an average THC content of 20%) If I were to...

    Decarb Failed - Can I salvage anything from butter?

    I just finished making a batch of cannabuttter. While it was "cooking" I realized the oven was broken and never got up to 230°F. Is there anything I can do to salvage the butter?

    Leaf minors, spider mites, and aphids 😬 help!!

    I don't have any experience with the other little bastards but I've been fighting/living with aphids for the past 18 months....Ladybugs are a godsend and miraculously available from Home Depot, at least in Ontario Canada....they don't seem to eat the nymph aphids so they won't eradicate the...

    Can I Use the Same Spot Outdoors As Last Year?

    While I have ample surface space to plant outside, only a few places get full sunlight all day long. Is there any reason I can't use the same spot (or adjacent) as last year? Other than the hole the plant is placed in, there will be no new soil used. I know the ground soil might be depleted of...

    Half of stalk rotted away - 70/30 coco/perlite

    She never fell, never even got unsteady. I mean, I could've easily pushed it over on the damaged side if I tried but she as standing proud without any support. That's an awesome resource illustrating all the different things that can go wrong. It certainly looks like crown rot is the best match.

    Half of stalk rotted away - 70/30 coco/perlite

    I haven't ruled out pests as the problem - i have a persistent cannabis aphid population kept in check with ladybugs. From what I understand, cannabis aphids are a separate species from root aphids. Either way, this was the only plant with this issue out of a couple dozen ranging from seedlings...

    Half of stalk rotted away - 70/30 coco/perlite

    Has anyone had this issue before? I have no idea how long it had been rotting before I noticed since she looked healthy as could be. The first two pics are from when I noticed 4 weeks ago after I removed as much dead plant material as I could. After that I let the top of the coco dry out and...

    33% loss when making butter/oil

    This did the trick! Initially I let it cool to room temperature because that's the state I needed it in for baking but it never really solidified. Now I toss it in the fridge and once it's cool it's a solid block of butter with zero liquid, even when it warms up to room temperature. I still...

    Megacrop - is this normal?

    This works great. I dissolve as much as I can in a gallon of hot water and filter. I add 100ml to a known quantity of water, check EC and calculate how much stock solution is needed for the desired EC. Once thats done, it takes less than a minute to measure the stock solution and add the...

    33% loss when making butter/oil

    That was my first thought too but I don't see how. Grind the weed, decarb in a mason jar then slow cook in a mason jar before using french press - I don't see where any water could get into the process. Next time I will try cooling the butter in the fridge after using the french press and see if...

    33% loss when making butter/oil

    So I bought a french press for my cannabutter process. Yield is pretty much the same, 6oz butter returns 4 oz cannabutter but it's much easier than squeezing scalding hot butter-soaked cheesecloth by hand or between two plates. The only problem is that the end result is much more watery than...

    Aphids in early flower. Alcohol/Lemon Juice

    I made the mistake of releasing all the ladybugs at once. They wiped out all the aphids but not the eggs. Once the ladybugs died off, the eggs hatched and aphids returned. I found more ladybugs delivered from Home Depot of all places and released about 50% 2 weeks ago, 25% yesterday with the...

    Megacrop - is this normal?

    I love this stuff, even with 1/3 of it in unusable rocks it's still a great amount of nutrient for the money, I now use it as the backbone of all my feedings, for coco and soil, veg and bloom. However, this is what my third bag from Amazon looks like. It's not as dry as the other two and has a...

    Aphids in early flower. Alcohol/Lemon Juice

    I released about 200 ladybugs into my grow tent and I cant believe the difference. After about 10 days all aphids were gone except the teeny tiny young 'uns....now, about 10 days after that, about 80-90% of the ladybugs are gone (replaced by larvae) and the surviving aphids are mature. Even if...

    How much nutrients for plants in the ground?

    What's the best way to support them with stakes? Do I have to fasten the branches directly to a stake (a lot of stakes) or attach with a length of string/plant tie? I've also got some trellis netting, is it too late to stake 4 corners, cover with netting and secure it low on the stakes to sort...
