    Is it PH level probleem?

    An organic microbially active living soil can't be fixed using Ph buffered water, that's true. I was thinking hydroponics. NFT or deep water culture or even old school flood to waste using the bottled nutrients or hydro-organics. In a living soil you theoretically should have accounted for that...

    Is it PH level probleem?

    From my experience with HLVD the plant either duds OR it will look adequate through flowering and when you take it off the drying rack/line you will notice the entourage effect absent. Gone. Missing.. Is it growing slowly? EVERYTHING is a Ph problem if your Ph is off. Flush it and measure the Ph...

    Is it time to trim?

    Trim for beauty, prune for growth. I would start by taking the bottom 25-33% off the bottom. In full sunlight like that defoiliation is not as necessary as it is under lights, which are obviously much weaker than the sun. I have never measured it but I think the sun is more luminous that a...

    Seeds won’t germinate!! Please help

    When you threw them in water did they sink? Or did they float? Dead seeds get air pockets in them and float. Viable seeds usually sink.

    Brothers Grimm Seeds? Anyone try any of their seeds?

    Well shit. I bought some of those WTF. I paid 10.00 for something called Rosetta and something called C99 x Genius plus some blueberry. They claim it's an F3 of DJ Shorts Blueberry. I hope that's true. I trust these guys...unless something has happened, they've always been reliable. Thanks for...

    Are these spider mites, soil mites, aphids?

    I think those are aphids. I would use ladybugs. Or some type of horticultural oil for a quick knockdown. I use Suffoil-X because its been approved for use on cannabis in Colorado and Canada, so it's safe. It's a Horticulture mineral oil pre-emusified into small droplets so it's not phytotoxic...

    Need advice regarding seedlings and light

    Both spring water and rainwater are infused with minerals and impurities. The BEST water for growing would be filtered through a reverse osmosis filter. Distilled water is pure water. Which is what I personally prefer, because the only nutrients that would be in it are ones I put there. With...

    Prune those bottoms. Trim for beauty, prune for growth.

    Almost perfect run about to be destroyed by POWDERY MILDEW

    In laboratory studies, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) was ineffective against powdery mildew. POTASSIUM bicarbonate was effective, but I don't think it wise to be spraying anything on cannabis in the later stages of flowering. Even milk sketches me out. The treatments being marketed aren't for...

    Almost perfect run about to be destroyed by POWDERY MILDEW

    I am not sure about the other acid but I do know H2O2 breaks down into H2O and O.

    Reservoir for drip system stinks??

    Maybe you could add an air bubbler? Oxygen, being a gas will slowly diffuse out over 24 hours then you have essentially flat stale water. Even a chemical bottled nutrient will start to smell in stagnant water. Or make smaller batches.

    Help first time grower problem

    Round spots that are light in the center with a dark halo around the edge suggests a leaf fungus. Cercospora or septoria. They are ascomycete fungi that thrive in warm humid DIRTY climates... so you can do yourself a favor by being OCD about cleanliness. Cut it off and destroy it. You could use...

    Predictions on how much longer to harvest

    I don't think seed companies account for the preflower time. So you need to add 10-14 days to their estimate to get a realistic harvest date. The final arbiter of ripeness is trichome color. Full on milky white with a percentage amber. I like about 15-20% amber. Like most things you will gain a...

    Why did my seedling fall over?

    A gentle breeze. As plants move it the wind the back and forth action exercises the stems cells causing them to strengthen. After 24-48 hours of a light, wafting, breeze and it will perk right up. Sometimes if the light isn't intense enough, the stem will elongate, causing the plant to tip. The...

    Sick plant or lacking nutes?

    I used to be a proponent of let it grow see what happens. But with all the diseases legalization has unleashed on these poor plants, I would suggest killing it. You have other plants, same strain? If you inadvertently allow HPLVD into your space you will lose everything unless you are testing...

    Old school skunk..does it exist???

    Even if it's found they will send you a "love letter" indicating they have your contraband, and of you want it come and get it. Or you can just ignore the whole issue and they will destroy it in 30 days, or something similar. And then they watch your mail for a few years in case you're one of...

    Zombie’s Spider Farmer SE 3000 Scrog Grow

    I am sick and tired of being sold seeds based on a picture that none of these seeds ever looked like when finished. I am sick and tired of spending 100 for ten seeds in the hopes of finding one plant that doesn't suck. At that point seed breeders (and I use that term loosely) are charging me 100...
