What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[transcend]

Is a thorough wipe with rubbing alcohol sufficient?

Necessary, no.
Good practice, yes.

[transcend]

Is it necessary to sterilize your tools when topping/defoliating?
I've read things that say it's best to as it will reduce the risk of infection at the cut sites?

Hello Brothers and Sisters. Can somebody please tell me what's going on with this girl's leafs she is growing in Superb Soil from pot4pot no nutes just ph water 6.1-6.8. everything seemed ok a couple of days ago now this good grief but I am ok. Can we fix this?

Not sure if this helps but 2020 summer I moved two indicas late august inddors under lights as weather was too damp and bud rot started on a few branches. started them indoors with lights 24 inches high, and within a week put em at 16 where i thought sweet spot is. saw no negative issues at all, and bud rot stopped. Mu buddy did the same thing this summer, planned, with a wedding cake - and the only issue he had was to fit it in the tent. looked a lot smaller on the deck so some spread branches got sacrificed. that experiment was big success in our opinions. he did nothing other than move it indoors. Bad conditions in Halifax Nova Scotia for bud-rot this past summer so may plan on some special outdoor plants coming in and train em to a size that fits. have fun.

Thank you very much man that info greatly helps and gives me relief at the same time 😀
I had a few issues from seedling and then in veg, finally sorted it all, flowering going sweet for 5 weeks then nothing but rain for last week and a half with another week and a half of it left to go - pissed me off big time haha.
Everything seems fine since I put it under a 150w 2700k CFL 3 days ago, buds still growing like they are getting actual sunlight.
That’s good to hear yours ended up a success, such a bummer growing for 3.5 months to have it turn out crap.
From what I’ve learned so far there’s always a solution and you adapt to the environment you’re given.
Thank you man I’ve been having a great time with the plant!
was amazed/proud AF when I got my first 5 finger, then 7 finger, then when Santa delivered pistils on that very day and a week later I almost had tears of joy when the flowers appeared 😀 I never thought it would actually be fun growing and seeing it grow 👍🏻

The plant has not gotten any rain on it, anytime it even looked like it was going to I covered it.
So I have no problem with water being on the buds or leaves.
Was just double checking as I was worried putting under lights after being outdoors would turn it hermi while in flowering. Thank you very much for the info so far, every little bit helps my novice arse haha.

Bring them in, put lights at extreme distance until leaves and buds are drying, slowly bring them closer. 2 out of three plants survived when it happened to me, bud rot was deep in the third. I was afraid I would burn them in the beginning, not sure which is best.

[Vaibag]

Vaibag lights and wet are a bad mix, you will get burns from drops of water on the leaves. But your biggest problem is the rain on your buds causing bud rot.

I won’t put the plant under lights outdoors, I’ll put it inside under lights. Plant is in a pot. Yeah heard about rain causing bud rot so the plant hasn’t gotten any rain as I put it under cover when it rains.
just wondering if it’s bad for the plant to be put under lights seeing there’s going to be no sun for the next 2weeks?

Does it matter much if you put your outdoor plant under lights?? Where I live it has been raining for the last week and apparently there’s 2 more weeks left of this shitty weather, and my plant is in its last 3 weeks of flowering.

That plant has FoxFarm Happy Frog for soil. Just got it's first watering of nutes the other day. Only second time it's been watered after the initial wetting.

The pH runoff was 5.9, 6.8 going in.

Here is a Granddaddy Purple I clipped the tippy tip on two days ago. I am starting some training too. This plant is 5 weeks old. A little slow as it's a bit cool running around 60-70F.

Nice man!!! 👍🏻 My plant looked like shit at 5 weeks compared to yours haha 😀
I hope to be able to get a plant and tip it right like this!
I actually help off tipping as I am pretty sure my plant got the “Claw”, been trying to rectify ever since...
