What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[3Berries]

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.

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.

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?

[RagWeedDWC]

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]

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.

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 👍🏻

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?

[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?

[RagWeedDWC]

I use isopropyl Alcohol 99% mainly because it cleans the resin off really well, and my bride has a tendency to use my snipping tools outside...

[Puglover1]

3Berries Would acetone clean glass hitters, Chillums, or bong pieces without issue? I use 91% ISO in a jar but after rinsing in hot water, using Q-Tips, 'spitballs' and brushes it seemed like the inside of the glass was still oily or sticky, coated. They don't stay clean and clear for very long at all after usage.

[3Berries]

Yes acetone is a great solvent for sticky resin. I soak my one hitter in them and a quick bit or scrubbing and flush with water they are clean as new. It pulls the resin out an leaves behind the carbon from the ash. I keep the acetone in a jar as you can reuse it until it gets saturated.

Then if you want you can evaporate the acetone and you have some nice sticky resin.

It looks like my plant is days away from being ready to harvest and I was just curious if every single pistil on every bud on the plant have to be curled and dark orange/brown before you can harvest?
95% of the trichomes on all buds are milky white with about %5 of them being amber.

[SoOrbudgal]

No some strains keep producing hairs right up to harvest but only a few there should not be alot of stand out white pistols. Hang in there most of those will dry up.

[Vaibag]

So you pretty much gotta wait until every pistil has turned? Every bud on the plant has between 3-7 pistils left to turn.

[Rwise]

Its in the window, now what do you want? Couch lock needs more amber.

Being GG#4 I was going to go for the head high as I don’t want to be sitting there doing f$&@ all couch locked when I’m high 😀

[ByrdDogg]

Do I have enough light? I have a 3’X3’ grow tent and a Mars Hydro TS1000 and a TS600. I have 3 Indica plants growing. Is more light needed for better yields? Too much light?

[Vaibag]

My GG#4 plant has been flowering for 11weeks, every bud has 1-2 pistil grow areas yet to turn brown/orange, by these pics would you say I’m ready to harvest???

[Bootsy]

I would certainly be chopping her. I have found GG4 is hesitant to turn trichomes amber. all looks mature in my opinion

[Vaibag]

Thank you very much for the info man....that’s awesome 👍🏻 Now I’m clock watching at work hanging to get home 😀

[taylordonovan]

Do i require a growers license in California to grow my marijuana plants?
