What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[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.

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

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.

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]

So where do you buy your landrace strains?

[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]

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.

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

[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?

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.

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.

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.

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

[Rootsruler]

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

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
