Strain Trainwreck: Under ideal conditions with an indoor grow, 8 week flower, pistils and trichomes just right. What would cause these 4 plants to develop seeds in some quantity? Thanks

This is my first time using this super soil. My question is the watering regimen. Book says not to water as you would with nutrients wanting good runoff. Using this approach, what should the moisture level be of the bottom third where the concentrate is located? We are talking 10" down on a...

My current grow is Gelonade bred by the Connected Cannabis Co. and sold by MSNL. It is a sativa dominant hybrid, 70/30. A cross between Lemon Tree and Gelato#4. I've been growing for a while and always grow 3 or4 of the same strain. Despite their genotype, these plants have the phenotype of an...

This is my first time growing using Nature's Living Soil. I have great tap water with no trace of chlorine in any form. The TDS is about 150ppm. The Ph comes out at 7.2. I am reducing it to 6.6 using lemon juice. I am looking for input from others using lemon juice to organically lower Ph...

I am starting to use Super Soil Concentrate. I want to use filtered lemon juice to lower the water Ph. I would appreciate any insights. Thanks

Is over the counter lemon juice OK to filter or is there a commercial option available?

Trying something new this grow. Does anyone have experience with using RO water with Super Soil concentrate? A little Cal/Mag is a planned additive. Thanks Jim

I have grown indoors for over ten years with vey good success. I am new to growing outdoors. Had a leftover London Pound Cake (Indica dominant hybrid) and decided to specially prepare a raised bed for it in my vege garden. I topped 5 times during veg stage and it started showing signs of...

I have been using General Hydroponics Ph UP and Down for 10 years. As mentioned on this site, Ph Down is strong stuff with only a few drops can bring down a gallon of liquid. However, Ph Up is not very strong and requires more to achieve a similar affect. What surprises me is how much Ph Up I...

Not needing a carbon filter any longer, I went to a straight exhaust. Like the cloth wrap on the filter, a white residue formed on the mesh filter on the intake side of the fan as well as the the inside of the fan. It's kind of sticky and I used to think this was coming from the plants but now I...

I am now in the fifth week of flowering on three feminized White Widows. One of the three exhibits a very different phenotype. It is 7 inches shorter then the other two and its buds are developing quite differently. It has no well defined trichomes. I realize that flowering time can range from 8...

After 10 weeks of flowering these girls still show primarily clear or glistening trichomes. Book says 9 to 10 weeks. Interested in hearing the experience of others on this strain.

Decided to post a grow diary of my latest grow. Seed: Strawberry Cough Feminized Dutch Passion Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest + worm compost Water: distilled Nutrients: Trifecta Myco Supreme Mycorrhizai fungi/Fox Farm Dirty Dozen/ CalMag Lights: (1) MarsHydro TSW2000 set at 18 inches.18/6 light...

A curious mind wants to know. How is apical dominance affected if the apical bud is lower than the bud site of the secondary branch? I don't believe it will since auxins are only produced in the apical bud.

I have reviewed and used various training, pruning and topping techniques. My question focuses on the plant's growth response to other parts of the plant when the apical bud is topped and likewise when the secondary branches are topped.
