What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

Genetics! Try something like Exotic Genetics Greasy Grapes, the children from her are making nice hard buds even with the 100*-110* temps and high humidity I have outside. Cant weight for the 8 Ball Kush to finish to see how her buds do.

Outdoors you'll be lucky to get tight and dense buds. You need the climate dialed in to achieve that which means consistent day time temps of around 68⁰F to 72⁰F in the last 3 to 4 weeks of flower. The hotter your ambient the lighter your buds as the plant does this to keep temps in the bud at the ideal level for seed growth. Temps inside buds of a day are always higher than ambient as they get very little air changeover when they are dense.

Genetics.
The only way to get buds that look like the ones in pictures is go find the person who took the picture and get a hook-up.
And Photoshop.

Tight Colas? been growing for a while and have read a lot about it but I dont seem to get the buds/colars to be as compact as seen in photos, I'm outdoor growing, following all the generally recommended fertilizing, watering, pruning, etc, so what is the main ingredient to tighten up the colas, if there is?

did Durban Poison auto flower in doors this past winter, Oct to Feb, not sure how long it was supposed to take but it took 16/17 weeks from first 2 leaves to harvest.

Thank You! I guess I'll wait. Do you recall how long it took?

Growing autos alongside photos. The photos got too big for my space so I flipped them to 12/12 along with the autos. I heard it can be done. Only that. No details. my problem is, the autos slowed to a crawl. They are over 17 weeks old now. still clear tric's. Is this normal for my situation or did I just stumble on some drag forever cultivar? Can they be moved to 18/6 (It's been 2 months in 12/12) in some other space without reveging or some other craziness? My current plan is to just ride it out for the other 6 weeks till the photos are done.

I had the same thing happen unfortunately. Autos do what they do regardless of light cycles.

Spot on! When I started growing we just put the seeds in the ground and came back for harvest.

My question is...........why do people make growing so complicated an feel so helpless?

[Atriax]

>No it doesn't mean a thing mine do it all the time and the older the perilite like if you reuse your soils mix it gets darker so don't worry about that either. And i would not unless your really good at it crame 4 plants into that space. You want more get a bigger tent. But then again you probably grow autos I can fit 6 autos in a 3x3x6 tent but 4 is more manageable.

Yeah see with my first grow right now. I didnt factor in the height of each plant so now i have a tall photoperiod and a medium sized autoflower. I decided to do one photo and one auto to get an idea of how each one acts and its comparative grow time. I didnt factor in the height. So now I'm planning my next grow with more detail and making sure the plants I choose will all have similar heights and grow times.

[Ckbrew]

It is low density material.

[Atriax]

Does it mean anything if the perlite in your soil starts coming up to the surface the day after you water your plants?

[Bluey]

You can but you won't want to veg them for more than a few weeks.

The way I grow I'd only do 1 or at most 2 plants in that space.

You will need to be very good at cropping to keep their height down too. 4ft high tent doesn't give you any room for error, none at all.
