What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[Hassinator]

[DankwingDuck]

What’s the wattage of those led strips . Are u using only them as your light source ?

[alltatup]

Your plant looks fabulous!! Great LST and defol.

[Hassinator]

@PaganRich... well I screwed up with my picture download. It’s tge pic right above this post. If you click on it, that’s where I wrote out my message. I’ll get the hang of this yet.

[Hassinator]

DankwingDuck- there five of them and they are running about 160 watts and putting off about 17,000 lumens. I've got her in a box that is 60" tall, 35" wide and 24" deep

[Retodd]

So, it's about the same as my tent...sweet!

[GeorgiaGrower]

Shou ld I trim or prune anymore? I think she looks good.
just started flowering about a week maybe 2 in.
Just curious what you would do.

[Retodd]

My outdoor grows look about the same shape as that one and I just finished pruning mine yesterday. I took off the majority of fan leaves and rolled away. I don't know the strains I have outside, they were just randoms that I planted to test my tent

[HappyJackal]

Nice picture.

[Retodd]

GeorgiaGrower how’s she lookin now? I know ours were about the same and they started beefing up and budding really good

[Retodd]

GeorgiaGrower here's a couple shots I took. It will help them grow. Just water really well after. I have to stake the one after I move her

[HappyJackal]

What is a good nutrient schedule for auto flowering plants, in particular; Nirvana AK-48?

[DankwingDuck]

It depends on your growing medium . SOil coco and hydro all require different level of nutrition

[DankwingDuck]

It is best to start your plant on a low lvl of nutes and raise or lower as the plant tells you what it needs imho

[HappyJackal]

That is very good that the topic has been featured, but I was not here that day. Where can I access the featured topic?

[Elkobon]

Which week do foi repeat for later flower? If the two remaining weeks in the schedule are "rippen" and "flush" will the pistils get a lot darker?

[alltatup]

Pistils should be darkening before the last two weeks; what nutes are you feeding? Follow their directions.

What's going on fellow green thumbers? Here she is today at the beginning of week seven.The strain is Ak Gorilla and it is a cross of Gorilla Glue#4 and Ak Blackberry.I have never before had so many leaves at this stage in the game as I usually do pretty extensive defoliating.This time however,I thought I would be a "tucker" instead of a "plucker"...Funny right...Just me? Anyway,hopefully you can see all the tucking I have going on here.I took these this morning about an hour after watering and she's always a lil' bit droopy afterwards for a couple hours but the big fan leaves stopped standing up about a week or so ago and I am just itching to get in there and take all of them and really open it up for the last couple weeks.However, I'm also worried that doing so would have a significant and negative on her as she's finishing up. So please,let me know what you think. I would appreciate any schooling anyone can give me.My humidity is about 65% and my girl has a constant supply of fresh air and her lady parts are getting blown around by an oscillating fan so mold is not a huge concern for me right now,I just want those leaves gone and I don't know if it's a good idea.Anyone? @PaganRich....care to weigh in?

[Retodd]

I supercropped mine last week on week 5. Yours are crazy beautiful bud. Only thing I would say is if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I’m doing my first indoor grow tho, so not much help. Sorry.

Here you go it should make a nice read. https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...t-to-defoliate

Hey guys I have one more thing.My trichomes are already mostly cloudy at the start of week seven.I can't remember having them cloud up so soon before.Maybe it's a strain thing.I'm not sure.Has anyone else seen this?I'd post a pic of them but it;s pretty tricky to get a good one.Any wisdom someone could put on me would be much, much appreciated,

[alltatup]

Look up the strain; they should supply that information.

[Jackmands]

[alltatup]

Uh oh: that don't look good...

Hey Nebula! Love the site!! I have one...
Is tissue culture a useful method for the hobby grower to store prized phenos long term? Is this cost effective and how sustainable is this practice?

[Chefbjy]

https://www.cannabistech.com/articles/cannabis-tissue-culture-101/

[Toker1]

Yes...I read most of the information available out there. I know what it is, I understand how it works, now I was wondering if anyone here has tried it? I assume you can store genetics long term with out the downfall of genetic drift (like mother plants eventually get), has anyone successful stored genetics for a long period of time like this?
The pros and cons list on the link detailed above is short and does not elaborate on cost effectiveness and risk of losing stock genetics.
if I am not planning on making thousands of clones, is this just a waster of time and resources for my hobby grow?

[Chefbjy]

I think kits run around 250$ there's a lot of time to invest from the sounds of it. But depending on how many strains and phenos you're dealing with it could definitely be worth a shot imo. Don't think it's for so much of a "hobby" grower though. As you're dealing with thousands of variables.

I found one for $160 something. Yeah, time to grow genetics...time to store them... might be a wash there. It’s a new beast to conquer, sure. I get that.
what type of veriables do you mean? Like controlling temperature, humidity, and filtering the intake air? I think that is accomplishable.
I guess I am really wondering is cost effective to store genetics using this method, are there risks of losing genetics, is it easy to mess up, and if you do mess up are the consequences disastrous or is it easy to recover your prized phenos?

[Chefbjy]

There are many variables with phenos. Also there is more acclimating then just environment https://www.newcannabisventures.com/...nology-part-1/

I believe cost would be dependent on how many you grow since you can make literally thousands of plants. Long term storage on the other hand I've not read into and would think that stasis would last until in-vitro was introduced.

[Damngrower]

Hi, I'm new here! I've had a read but haven't seen this covered yet. I'm using a 250w hps at the moment but I started with a borrowed cfl. Will I be able to start my next grow using just the hps or is it too intense for seedlings?

[alltatup]

Hi Damn,

Maybe this will help: https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-grow-lights
