Years ago I built a clam shell tent inside my greenhouse automated by a timer and driven by a garage door opener. It worked great, but using a single layer of black plastic resulted in re-veg and nanner problems. I'm thinking of doing it again, but I need a better light blocking fabric. Maybe...

36 of my own seeds were sown on 15 December 2018, making these seedlings nine days from being placed in wet paper towels. After chit they were placed in soil. Started with six batches of seed. AKMango f1 (fall '16) 5/6 AKFire f1 (Jan '18) 6/6 AKFire f1 (May '18) 5/6 AKDog f1 (Nov '17) 6/6...

f3 year is here. 8 big beautiful females survived selection criteria. They were all sown in early April, grew to a good sized shrub, auto-flowered, and were ready for harvest before September. They all had pleasant smells, and demonstrated a resistance to brown mold (a devastating local...

It's worse than that. I might try to take advantage of it.

After brewing an alfalfa tea for 5 days, I throw the solids into the top bin of my worm stack. This is what it looks like after 7 days since last addition. This is a fresh addition of tea solids. For a shared enjoyment of biology in action, I will be taking a daily shot for the next seven...

Wanted to make fresh colloidal silver, hoping to get more consistent results in reversing my girls. So I set this up based on my memory of what I read here. Got this muck. Didn't look right, so I filtered it. WTF? I colloidal silver clear? Or did I filter it out? Or did I miss remember how...

This is the AutoMango I pollinated. This is the one plant that showed a resistance to a horrifying brown bud mold. Great smell, lots of trichomes, open bud structure. She gave me these f2 seeds. I didn't dry them well enough and discovered mold. Removed the obviously infected, and let them dry...

2 Feb '17 took cuttings from three keepers. This being the final indoor cycle I plan to do this spring, I wish for these plants to stay small for as long as possible so that they are ready for a fall flower cycle starting early September. The plan: grow 2 plants of each keeper outside this...

A few days ago I pulled the trigger and purchased three LED lamps. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9A82RV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That's $.65 per watt. About 1/4 the going rate from what I have seen. They came today and got installed in a temporary position until after...

A fellow grower was running some of my AKMango seeds. He was new to farming, and failed to identify male plants among his garden. The resulting seeds were exactly the genetics I wanted, but the plants were harvested early and the seeds look immature. I put six seeds on wet paper towel and got...

I remember being concerned about water quality, pH, soil formula, humidity, temps, etc. So many perimeters, so many problems to correct. Over time, all these unknowns became part of an easy process that reliably yields. The anchor to my method is the soil formula. I do not present it as "the...

This started as a germination test of seeds produced last summer. Pollen was provided by a landrace ruderalis from Fort Yukon. (North of Fairbanks on the arctic circle) The mothers were two of my keepers. (TahoeOG, Mango) 11 of 12 are above ground. They will go outside in mid May. This...

This is the grow of a young fellow I know. He is concerned that his plants are not growing as expected. Max temps < 80 F RH 30 % (sort of all over the place. is having trouble getting it this high) GH three part nutes These are all seedlings. Roots look good to me, and I can see what he is...

I was lucky enough to be given a bag of these sample vials. They are perfectly but irreplaceable. There is a logo on the cap that may provide a clue. I would like to find the source of these vials so I can use them every day and give them to all I know. That included my thcfarmer family, so...

I was flattered to be asked to consult on a new friends grow. I took a close look, two pictures, and asked a bunch of questions. Problem: failure to thrive. First thoughts: is this a dramatic variation in two strains ability to thrive in cold, or is it something else? The story: The home...

My education has informed my suspicions on the accuracy of cannabis test reports. But, testing has been going on for long enough to be "big data". My first question is: How consistent is the same clone, when grown in a variety of methods and taken to different flower times? Does the terpin...

9 May 2014 brought a flurry of exploratory planting. Of the candidates were a new pack of Sin Mints Cookies. So I splashed three seeds. Got two females, and one grew nicely through the summer. She made her way into the basement come fall to an overcrowded space and out performed all other summer...

I have long wondered about some plants ability to survive long periods of dark and cold conditions. Being in interior Alaska, i have an abundance of environment, and I just happen to have some extra clones I wouldn't mind running through the ringer, so here are the first contestants: Will...

The HO designation has prevented me from buying T5 format lamps. Regular T5 bulbs draw about half the watts the HO do. The housings available at Home Depot come with regular bulbs. Will driving HO bulbs work from regular transformers? What would be the point of a T5 standard if they were not...

Great headline, but what does it mean? My daughter has been a state sanctioned medical user for years and me her grower. The impending legalization prevented the carpetbagger from even offering a $300 doctors signature. The Feds have all doctors in Alaska scared to sign a perfectly benign...
