    Opinion On Health Of 37 Day Old Gelato Strain Indica

    Level out your pH and make sure you aren't overwatering her. Give her a good wet/dry cycle. Don't overthink it. And for gods sake, try to get a better light. Not trying to give you too much flack since others have already made comments about it.

    New Forum Poster - Having Trouble Into Flower. Need Some Help.

    Can't really see the stems, but they usually indicate a P or K deficiency, but more often than not that is due to over saturation of the soil. The purple petioles aren't overly concerning, however, if that's what you are referring to. I don't use 10gal pots for most grows. 5 gals is often...

    And your soil must be lacking in aeration if you're going 5 days between waterings. I water every single day. If it's consistently oversaturated it's going to struggle with nutrient uptake.

    New Forum Poster - Having Trouble Into Flower. Need Some Help.

    You are doing a lot of guessing. Trying to correct by guessing is never a good idea. They look generally underfed and it sounds like you are primarily giving them a bloom booster. Where is the N? That overall pale color is begging for nitrogen.

    Im New Thete And Looking To Begin Bho Exyracting

    What brand of BHO..? Sorry, but that doesn't make sense. I caution you to learn A LOT more about hydrocarbon extraction before diving into this. How much weight are you trying to extract? What's your budget? Looking for a closed loop system? Where are you doing this (i.e. home, separate facility)?

    Need Advice On Miticide

    Aside from what others have said, I just wanted to mention for the anti-pesiticide folks, there are plenty of biological pesticides available that I consider for part of my "natures approach" for IPM. Things like Botanigard, Grandevo, Met52, Ancora, etc. These are not chemical pesticides that...

    I Hate Trimming

    First off, let me say, not to be disrespectful, but I watched the video and that woman makes a terrible rep for that product lol But more importantly, it seems to do an okay job, but if I'm going to use some kind of non-manual method of dry trimming I'd prefer using a machine. Also, I'm huge on...

    I Hate Trimming

    Lol, I wasn't going to say anything, but I thought it.

    I Hate Trimming

    I have definitely served my time trimming. 400-500 plant harvests can be killer. Wait two weeks, then do it all over again lol I'm convinced it's why I started having back problems a few years ago.

    Split Plants Stems For Extra Resin Production

    I don't play upon ego. That's never my intention. I stay humble as best I can and I always know there is more to learn. For that same reason I hate the term "master grower", because it defies the idea that we are all students that should continue to learn and be open to new ideas. I hope nothing...

    Split Plants Stems For Extra Resin Production

    I realize it sounds harsh as I read my comment again, and I'm not trying to be rude. I've tried just about all of these tricks and I've grown thousands upon thousands of cannabis plants. I still continue my education and expand my knowledge base as best I can. I'm open minded; show me some lab...

    Split Plants Stems For Extra Resin Production

    Disease is always a threat, my friend. I’ve watched crops take a turn for the worse within 72 hours. And anecdotal was exactly the point, it’s not at all quantifiable. I’m an evidence based grower, I analyze data and outcomes, not subjective perceptions. As far as the big growers, well, I manage...

    Split Plants Stems For Extra Resin Production

    Pretty much. There is a reason a vast majority of large scale growers don't do things like this. It's the fun rehashed "experiments" (I quote experiment simply because people have been trying stuff like this for so long, yet there is no quantifiable evidence to it's alleged benefits). In...

    Difference Between Canna Mag(mgo) & Epsom Salt(7h2o)

    That product also contain SO3, but more importantly, and this goes for standard epsom as well, you should really try to get close to a 3:1 ratio of calcium:magnesium. Too much magnesium can upset that balance. One thing I try to hammer in all growers heads is that it's not just having "enough"...

    Kindsoil, Anyone?

    Not sure why you’re taking this so personally. But I didn’t realize you were looking at the 5 pound bag (of which the price is cheaper on their website which I was using for pricing). A 5 pound bag is pretty useless to me to be quite honest. And, again, the KIS organics soil is a much better...

    Kindsoil, Anyone?

    You don't have to mention price, I went to the website and I see no soil there for $29. Even more expensive on Amazon. And I don't buy cannabis marketed nutrients, so I am not purchasing overpriced and overhyped nutrients.

    Kindsoil, Anyone?

    At that price point? No. And, quite frankly, that website truly lacks professionalism and that drives me nuts (I have a background in web development, so that plays a role in my opinions on that). I've never tried KIS Organics water only soil, but if I were to go with a soil like that I would...

    Newbie-dying Leaves In Veg

    Man, I don't know where to start. Thats an unruly mess. I think you need to look into better plant/canopy management. Not trying to be offensive, but I'm not shocked to see problems. Start pruning off all the lower, worthless branching.
