I’m doing a photoperiod OG Kush in DWC under LED. Because of out of town family business I’ve had to shorten it’s veg growth to 5 weeks and now I’m rushing to try to get it to ripen as quickly as possible. Does anyone have any tips on possibly accelerating the process? The picture...

I’m an experienced grower with many successful grows under my belt. I do DWC under LED in a 4x4 tent. I currently have a 5 week old OG Kush photoperiod grow underway. My problem is that I am going to be away for a while in week 13/14 with no one around to watch my grow. Here’s my question...

I have a situation. I have a photo-period OG Kush that is in its 5th week of veg. What would happen if I switch it to flower schedule early? I’m going to be out of town in the 14th week and have no one to handle maintenance in my absence. I’m doing DWC in a 4 x 4 tent.

First the vitals. I’m growing Northern Lights in DWC under 400w Vivosun Aero wing light supplemented with 4 - 80w Vivosun LED side lights. I’m using General Hydroponics Flora Trio nutrients, Armor si and CalMag in a container that comfortably holds 3.5 gallons. My grows have all been done...

Greetings fellow growers. I've been out of the game for 10 years due to employment conditions. Gotta love the federal gov't. I'm a seasoned recreational grower. I have 9 grows under my belt. Best result was a Sour Diesel grow that yielded 18 oz. of cured buds. My method is indoor...

Greetings fellow growers. I’m a reasonably experienced grower. I do DWC in a 4 x 4 x 80 tent. This grow I’m doing under LED. It is my first try at growing a high CBD low THC strain. For all of my previous grows and this one I have followed the feed chart for the nutrients I use found here at...

Greetings fellow growers. For background, I’ve been growing in Hydro since 2016. My equipment has varied somewhat over time. I’ve done 600w M/H and HPS and LED. Right now I’m growing under 1 300w MarsHydro and 2 600w Roleadro COB LEDs in a 4 x 4 x 80 tent all properly ventilated with good...

Yesterday was harvest day for my Sour Diesel. We started at 10:45 in the morning with 4 of us working on it. Took a break for dinner and took the crew out for a good meal. Then my wife and I got back at it. By the time we had it all trimmed down, hung up and the tent ⛺️ cleaned out it was...

I’m For background, I’m in my 7th grow doing Sour Diesel this time in DWC in a 4x4x80 tent under 1 - 600w MH and 2 - 300w COB LEDs. And this is my first SCROG run. I’m well read regarding timing the harvest based on trichomes turning cloudy which is the technique I’ve used with much...

Thought I’d share some pics I just took of my latest grow. I’m late in the flower cycle of some Sour Diesel that looks to be a very productive plant. I’m kinda into photography and really enjoy macro work. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy taking them.

I’m looking for anyone with experience growing Jack Herer. I’m in week 17/ week 9 of flower and looking for indicators that she’s ready to harvest. Trichomes are all white but the majority of hairs are still white as well. My past experience with other strains would have me wait until the...

Now that I’ve been at this for a while, and have had some pretty impressive results, it’s time to get serious. I’ve done Northern Lights that tested over 29% total THC. And my last grow was Critical that tested at just over 24%. I am fortunate to have a lab relatively close that doesn’t...

Greetings fellow growers. I’m on grow #8. I think I have what I do down pretty much. My yields are very satisfactory and potency has been excellent. Best result, 29%. Lowest, 19%. That being said, now I’m trying to really micro-manage my latest project. And that gets me to my question...

Does anyone out there have any experience with using molasses to finish off plants in DWC? And if so, what type, how much and when? Thanks all.

I recently grew, harvested, cured and had tested a Northern Lights grow. The lab results were, in my opinion, nothing short of spectacular. Total THC was 29.2%. However, even after careful curing, following all of the techniques outlined here at GWE, the static smell of those buds is still...
