What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

During the initial drying stage, I use perforated 1 gallon zip bags for the first 1-5 days (depending on where you live and humidity/temperature), THEN I transfer the buds into Mason OR Kerr jars (I do use Boveda Humidity control packets, helps keep the humidity at the right range for curing inside the jar, very important! and helps to keep the buds some what moist not completely dry) for the rest of the curing. I have never used plastic bags for the 2nd part of curing as the buds may tend to dry out too fast and leave your smoke crumbly. You want to slow cure not fast cure.

OK thank you.

I can’t say for sure but there was a thread about this not long ago and I’m pretty sure that the consensus was use jars not plastic bags. If I’m wrong someone else please chime in.

When curing can I store in bags instead of jars?

I’m a mainly outdoor grower too for 20+ yrs. I just started indoor a few yrs ago myself. It is a trial and error. I did a ton of studying and help from fellow growers on here. Personally, I found that the best indoor grow I’ve had was white widow. I have a small 2/4/5’ tent and use a 450w viparspectra led running 24/7. Go with fox farms ocean forest soil. I make my own mix of calmag and molasses for watering. Making a tea with goat shit n rain water is great too. Also, I just use 5 gal fiber bags. Let your girls get to the 3-4th set of nodes and then clip the bottom set to start training. I’ll average 3-4oz dry per plant in my small indoor grow. I’m sure you’re like me and get close to a pound outside per plant and that’s why we get discouraged. Good luck

Doesn’t really matter, but personally I dry mine and store in gallon bags. I have 4 stuffed bags now and just got my butane delivered. I’m planning on making my honey hash this week. I’d wait till you have plenty before wasting time on a small amount. Good luck

You’re looking for amber color trichomes. Once they’re 50% is when you start your sugar flush for a week. Going w cloudy trichomes it’ll be a nice smooth smoke, but it’ll have less thc.

I’d go with a 450w viparspectra led. They’re cheap enough and that’s all most of us use. Good luck

After successful germination with the (tried and true) paper towel method.

I would use (Rapid Rooter in a 1 to 2 cup fabric container. My wife sewed all mine from the breathable weed fabric for the garden. 1.5 cp / 3 g /4 g - Have to say they have held up after 3 grows, just have to brush them out and wash them after the grow. I think this material breathes better then the store bought because I have looked at them in the hydro stores and the material is much thicker.

Do not make the mistake I made...Did not want to drive across town to purchase the required rapid rooter..only had a few and did something (Dum, Dum) I used the little seed starter tray that come with a heat mat. I put coco and some peat (Dam near lost them all when moving them) unlike when one uses a little 1 or 2 cup fabric container with a rapid rooter they have all kind of roots that helps the soil to stay together during the transplant.

just my H.O

To sprout seeds FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: YOU WILL NEED 1 SMALL PLATE, 1 OR 2 PAPER TOWELS OR NAPKINS, SPRAY BOTTLE OR YOUR FINGERS TO DRIP WATER ON THE PAPER TOWEL, SEEDS. On the paper plate fold paper towel in half. do not soak but moisten the paper towel and let the run off drip. put seeds on paper towel and fold the other half over the seeds. moisten again and let water drip off. Put paper towel into a baggie with the end of towel just barely hanging out over the edge of the bag and DO NOT CLOSE THE BAGGIE!. Now find a small wooly blanket or towel ( just something warm) and put the baggie on it but leave the tip hanging out and fold over the blanket or towel. Now I put mine in the closet in the dark for 2 - 3 days. Check your seeds at end of 2 day and check again on 3rd day, they should be ready to plant. You can use clear plastic "Dixie" cups to plant and watch the roots develope. From there it's whatever you want to use to plant in but you need to start small and expand as the plant grows. I use the Dixie cups to start, then a 1 gal planter pot, then 3 or 5 gal planter pot until harvest. THIS HAS WORKED EVERY TIME I SPROUTED SEEDS, IT SHOULD WORK FOR YOU.
Oh, 1 more thing I forgot to mention, make sure you have at least 3 - 4 drain holes on the bottoms of the Dixie cups for drainage. You can use a drill or a very hot nail to make the holes.

My biggest question is, what size of the box I need for rooting? I recently started to plant some pot, just for me, tired of buying low quality weed from some mysterious people, and decided to do it by myself and I don't really understand how large the box should be, I thought about buying a stealth grow box, which is basically an automated grow cabinet, for growing weed indoors. I found this type of box because apparently this is a popular thing nowadays. If anyone knows something about this thing, feel free to PM me, looking forward for your advices

I have possibly a unique situation in that I started a "just add water" setup with a so called "super soil" from Blue Sky Organics. I bought it with out doing much research. I was just happy to find a super soil in a local shop. As it turns out some super soils are more "super" than others. My grow started to go bad around week eight which is also when I realized I was mistakenly using RO water instead of spring water. I took this to be the problem and after fussing with finding a good source of water; cheap, no chloramines and proper ph, I also discovered my soil is only recommended to go with only water for the first four weeks of the vegetative period. After that Blue Sky recommends a supplement to maintain the nutritive value called Fert-Alive. 10 weeks in, I've watered with compost tea and top dressed with some worm castings. I've got myself some Fert-Alive and for later, some Botanicare Cal-Mag along with an organic bud booster called The Incredible Bulk. I need to go to flower ASAP but not until I get this fixed. There's been some damage but the new growth is encouraging. My question is: what's the best way to deal with a depleted super soil grow? should I continue to water just enough with no overflow like I would with a real super soil? What about flushing? Have I chosen the right nutes to continue and pull this back from the brink?

SoOrbudgal Then I will follow the program. They look good so if it ain't broke.....

[SoOrbudgal]

As long as there is some nitrogen how i always play it they still need a bit of greening FurnaceBoi

So I have a dozen autos in 3 gal bags. They just started showing pistils.

Should I switch to bloom nutes already? They never even made it to a 100% veg feeding yet lol. Only 28 days old from seed.
