What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[Retodd]

Rule of thumb, you get what you pay for. Me and a bunch of other growers all use the viparspectra 450w. It runs around $115 on eBay.

Are these lights even worth buying? Just looking for some sort of cheap supplemental lighting to pair with the main light. I kind of like this 20pc 2.4w cob led, maybe it can be put onto some sort of movable standing device that can be put really close to the plants. It doesn't seem ideal for putting on the walls because it probably isn't strong enough unless it's close to the plant.

Maybe something like this and mount it above the other light or on the side. I would have to remove the outer part that looks like it would dim it some. The color seems nice 2800k-3500k and it's 3 COB LEDs for 22$. Perhaps this could make a decent base and then mod it a bit.

A couple other cheap lights like this as well, but not sure if these are all so bad it's not worth the small cost.

If none of these are good the other option is slowly buy and build some sort of custom light, but ideally I do this and also get a cheap supplemental light for right now.

Can anyone recommend good places to order indoor growing supplies in the U.S? I am not so much looking for a list of supplies that would be good, but I want to browse various things. The issue now is if I want an item I just search it on google and find this item. It would be nice to find a well known growing supply company where I can browse various options.

I am also wondering what are some must have insecticides to make sure I have 0 issues with bugs before my plants get larger. They have 6 leaves right now and I only see a small fly or mosquito here and there which I kill with my hands. I want to get a couple of the best items right now that will prevent any possible issue with bugs.

Two quick questions. My seeds sprouted in a germination station after 36 hours and tonight will make 3 days. I will not be home until tonight. When I left around noon 1 seed looked like it's started a second set of leaves and it made two sprouts so I split them up and put into it's own pouch. This one had one small set of leaves. Another was starting a set and I just barely knocked the rest of the shell off. The last one has a really deep taproot (at least 3"), but still has most of the shell on and seems like it will drop by the time I get home.

I have two 20w (each) 2ft t12s roughly 12 inches from them and managed to lower to about 9 or 10 inches this morning. Curious how much closer I should put it? If I set it on top of the germination station lid it will be roughly 2 inches away.

Would it be better to just put the station under this light right now? If so, how far away should this light go?


Second question

2 of 3 are autos (hopefully the double was the auto duck) and curious if I should clone them? I would like to clone them? I have some great spots outside where I can fit many of these, but I know it's tough to do.

My main concern is if trying to clone them will weaken the main plant at all? If there is no risk then I might as well.

Hi Beemer: The simple answer is: whatever won't get light, but I don't think there's one answer to that question; depends on strain and other issues like training. I look at a lot of pictures--which helps me to figure out what I want to do, depending on the strain I'm growing. Check out these pics:

How to trim, how far down the branches do I trim? This has been my struggle all 4 years. Thank you

[Chris77474]

I do hav a question. Can I veg under a 200w led then switch to a 315w lec for flower

[alltatup]

Will7, I'm not sure what article you're referring to, but you can decarb fresh bud, although I recommend that you dry it first. I've decarbed a lot of freshly dried bud for making tincture.

[Retodd]

Air cure first for a few days until you can ‘snap’ a branch. Once they’re at that point you trim the buds and jar them. I use 62% cure packs for each container. One pack is good for 1oz. Burp the jars 1-2X a day for the first couple weeks and then you can just burp them once a week. Look up Boveda humidity packs on Amazon.
Good luck✌🏻🙏🏼

Your recent article on decarboxylation was terrific. I plan on using mason jars like you say. I am ready to harvest some extremely funky Trainwreck. My question is this. I didn't see if i can do this with fresh buds or do I need to air cure them first? Thanks

Is growing cannabis legal in california?

[Retodd]

We know you do darlin! I sent that recipe to a gf of mine to try out. They’re all basically the same tho.
