What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[Rootsruler]

What does the Inkbird control?

Lighting looks good! Do you have a light meter to take readings in the corners and edges? Curious how much of a PPFD drop there is from your hot spot readings with both lights in the tent. How's the temperature with both lights running?

[FurnaceBoi]

Inkbird is a humidity and ventilation controller. Basically auto on off for 2 receptacles within programmable ranges. Heat went way up with the second light as is. I'm currently redesigning. It's all going amazing tho. New Apple Truffle Breath strain is a beast. Super vigorous and roots in a week from clones.

[FurnaceBoi]

Yes I have a lux meter. It gives me a good rough idea.

Hi i was wondering if you can tell me if this black/purple inside bud is normal?
thanks!

[JimG]

Given the date of this post it is too late. Definitely got the fungus.

[Rwise]

From here it looks to be bud rot, I would tear into it to see what it looks like inside, mushy is bad. From the plant problems page

[Rootsruler]

I agree. Probably best to just cut them down and wait until next year or go indoors.

[Rwise]

At least trim off those below the dead buds and do some thinning so you get air flow

Hello everyone!

I was just curious... What questions do you all have about growing?

Is there something you've always wanted to know, but could never get a straight answer?

Ask your questions here!

What's your secret to getting your seeds going in rock wool? I'm not having any luck with it at all, lost lots of time and seeds trying to get them going, running a dwc same as sirius
Thanks.

[Rwise]

How are you prepping the RW?

Rockwool has a naturally high pH, typically around 8.0.
Starting seeds can sometimes be a stressful adventure. It’s a constant balance between keeping them wet enough to promote germination without having them so wet they dampen off and die. Rockwool cubes are popular for germinating seeds in because of their excellent moisture retention — they are great at helping to keep seeds or seedlings from drying out but don’t let them sit in a waterlogged environment.

[JimG]

I'm just starting my first grow using super soil concentrate by NLS/ I found that the quantities recommended resulted in more runoff than recommended. I have been watering less but more frequently just to the point of slight runoff. Searching for the recommended moisture level for the lower level of my 12x12x12 hard pot. Ten inches down.

[JimG]

As a rule, I base my date of harvest upon trichome development. Looking for that cloudyness to arrive. Unfortunately, I have had a couple grows (always feminized) where doing that resulted in the development of seeds. Any advice on how to avoid those seeds from developing?

[Bluey]

Sometimes that is completely unavoidable but you can minimise it by not stressing them and keeping the environment on point.

A lot of what we see re hermies is genetic. Its an undesirable trait.

[JimG]

As of late, I have lost confidence in strain purity or consistency in my more recent seed purchases. May stick to landrace strains.

[Bluey]

So where do you buy your landrace strains?

[JimG]

There are a number of seed banks that have them but are limited in variety given the category. Just search landrace cannabis seeds and you will get multiple sources.

[Bluey]

Unfortunately the vast majority, almost all, of advertised landrace will not be landrace.

Same with any seeds advertised as sativa or indica....most will be both.

Until testing for genetics becomes a standard, and most places don't want that because of what it will show, seeds will continue to be falsely advertised.

[Joe3]

Which is it? 10-11wks from Seed to Harvest, or 10-11wks from Flower to Harvest????

[Rwise]

Depends. What is the genetics? Most autos are from sprout to harvest give or take a few weeks, while a photo such as Colombian purp is 10-20 weeks in flower.

Hello
my question is . Before growing do you have to check the ph of the soil

[Rootsruler]

If it's brand name soil like Fox Farm or Roots Organic then no but if you grow in pure coco it tends to run low in pH.

[FurnaceBoi]

I use promix and no. I have never had a problem simply adjusting my water.
On the other hand, I do recycle my promix. At this point I do flush the mix. And add a few things back

[Rickster]

Hi everyone, I am having trouble drying my plant out, she’s only a baby but it’s been a week now and she still wet, I need to flush her and get back to giving her nutrients. She indoors in a tent, temperature 70 s

[Bluey]

The exact same question can into my head but its only a baby......I have ethical problems with smoking dried bsbies

LOL! Crispy Babies!!

[GrowNinja]

I have one !

What leads to the development of sugar leaves in Flowering ?

I have 2 plants, same age, same environment, same nutrients/water schedule both in 3rd week of flower... One has the leaves in the budlets covered in tricomes, And the other one has same size budlets, but not as much sugar in the leaves, so to speak. Very little really.

[GrowNinja]

Update ! Uploaded photos. Not really worried tbh, both are doing amazing First two photos are very sugary, 3rd and 5th not so much. 4th is just a general picture.

[Bluey]

They look fine to me

[Rootsruler]

Agreed. They look like what they should at the stage you are at.

[GrowNinja]

New one !!

Just curious really...

What to do in case of extended blackout in mid flower ( 5th week) ?... say a week or more

Move outside ? Harvest early ?

Watchu think

[Ckbrew]

Use an alternate power supply, generator, battery pack. Even if it is just a small light, better than nothing. If they get moved outside suddenly they may burn as they are not used to sunlight.
