What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

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...

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

OK thank you.

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.

[DaisyMay87]

When curing can I store in bags instead of jars?

I’m a mainly outdoor grower too for 20+ yrs. I just started indoor a few yrs ago myself. It is a trial and error. I did a ton of studying and help from fellow growers on here. Personally, I found that the best indoor grow I’ve had was white widow. I have a small 2/4/5’ tent and use a 450w viparspectra led running 24/7. Go with fox farms ocean forest soil. I make my own mix of calmag and molasses for watering. Making a tea with goat shit n rain water is great too. Also, I just use 5 gal fiber bags. Let your girls get to the 3-4th set of nodes and then clip the bottom set to start training. I’ll average 3-4oz dry per plant in my small indoor grow. I’m sure you’re like me and get close to a pound outside per plant and that’s why we get discouraged. Good luck

Doesn’t really matter, but personally I dry mine and store in gallon bags. I have 4 stuffed bags now and just got my butane delivered. I’m planning on making my honey hash this week. I’d wait till you have plenty before wasting time on a small amount. Good luck

You’re looking for amber color trichomes. Once they’re 50% is when you start your sugar flush for a week. Going w cloudy trichomes it’ll be a nice smooth smoke, but it’ll have less thc.

[Retodd]

I’d go with a 450w viparspectra led. They’re cheap enough and that’s all most of us use. Good luck

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
