What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[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.

[SoOrbudgal]

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

[FurnaceBoi]

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

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?

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

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.

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

When curing can I store in bags instead of jars?

[Xena]

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.

[Retodd]

Personally, I’ll wait 2 months at least. I love just keeping them in jars 100% tho. Hardest part about using baggies is they don’t stay 100% sealed. I have jars that are 2 yrs old. Also, it depends on how much you’re saving. My neighbor used his vacuum sealer and stores the bags in the freezer. So many different answers to your question

[DaisyMay87]

OK thank you.

[NuggetMan]

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.

[Retodd]

The bovida packs are good for getting the 62%, but they also suck the smell out of the bud too. I tried them a couple yrs ago and then threw them all away. I’m usually drying pounds at a time. I’ll hang for 3-5 days on full trimmed stems. After that I’ll clip the buds into a cardboard box with a shit load of newspaper cut into strips for another week, fluffing daily. You’ll be dead on right after that and it’ll be time to jar. I use the 4qt jars per 1oz and burp them daily for 2 weeks +/-. They should be about ready to close up and store away. I use the large jars because I like keeping larger sized buds in them. Good luck.

[NuggetMan]

We can agree to disagree just for my fact and used myself, it has nothing to do with "sucking the smell" from the buds. Out of my last 6, 2 had store quality smell, really pungent. 4 had good taste but no "smell" issues (these 4 never really had much to smell to start with) , so I cannot explain what your situation or what may have happened, but either way, to each their own...

Hi, hope someone out there can help. Worried about leaf burn. Don't think it is heat as low down leaves are affected. Need help identifying, images of...

My humble opinion is potassium or calmag

[FurnaceBoi]

Ph is at the root of most problems. It can seem insignificant I would also check my run off and soil ph

[Wackochango]

Any reviews of cutting edge solutions for nutrients? Im currently using with primordial solutions for microbes, wondering about optimal levels. I follow recipe on bottle then dilute to my preference, which is lately lower than 1000 ppm and closer to 800. Locals at the grow store usually buy nectar of the gods and grow in soil with teas. I just want to simplify the dozen ingredients I'm using, or proof it's worth it. Silica, micro, uncle John's, grow, bloom, calcium, magnesium, sour dee, plus the primordial solutions rootamentary, sea green, true bloom. And chlorine remover and pH down. Am I normal?

Looking for some experienced eyes on my grow. These pics are at 10 weeks total, 6 weeks flower.
I hope I can get some good advice.

[projectdiy]

Looking for some experienced eyes to check out my grow. It certainly seems good at this point.( 10 weeks from germ). 6 weeks in flower stage.
The strain is "Amnesia Haze" and is auto. They said 12 weeks to harvest.
Just looking for advice.

[FurnaceBoi]

If I'm not mistaken, that is a sativa dominant, and yes likely to run long. Never go by breeder timeline especially autos
Some finish super fast..some not so much lol. They look great to
my eyes . But I too am a beginner.

Check your trichomes

[projectdiy]

I haven't checked the tricks yet but the plants are looking good. The colas are very heavy and packed.
You're right it they are Sativa.

Ya. I followed the tutorials here. On my 4th grow in under a year and everything I have been taught worked. Hope that helps.

Here's one for the community.

If you look at my posts, I have been making a lot of oil.

My question is : Has anyone dissolved pure kief or hash in alcohol. RSO style? If so, what were the results?

[Catfish22]

Do you decarb your weed before you make oil? The kief
would not be decarbed, except when you smoked the oil.
I have wondered about putting kief in the oil I use to make caps.

[FurnaceBoi]

My oil is decarbed just from the process

What's the best light cycle for my indoor plants 24-0, 20-4, 18-6 or 16-8? Which are crossing over from seedling to vege phase

[FurnaceBoi]

I disagree a bit. I have done 24/0. I have seen no significant difference and I believe the plants need the rest periods

[Rwise]

Yes lots of debate here, but I agree I dont see any dif 'cept in the electric bill in the results from 24/0 vs 20/4.

[NuggetMan]

18/6 vegging. 12/12 flowering. The day the seedling break soil, that is when I start 18/6 from day 1. no such thing as "seedlings to veg" as they start in a veg state to begin with. There is no "crossing over'.
