These plants are about 6 weeks into flower. I'm pretty sure this is bud rot but wanted to see what you guys think. Ph has been consistently good...6.5 in and out (give or take a tenth either way). I notice a slight smell occasionally when I open the tent...kind of a musty smell. Pistols are...

ISO: Creative MacGyvering! All you get is a paper clip, piece of gum and a shoelace ;) I'm looking for a way to increase the overhead space in my tent so I can give the plants some breathing room. I have a pretty standard reflector...

Hey all, I'm in the the 5th week of flower. I've been seeing this issue get worse for 7-10 days. I had a problem with the heat wave we've all been talking about. I finally got a portable ac unit in and temps are under control, I think. Anyway the first two pictures are of the same plant. I...

Hey all! So I'm not super smart apparently since I just realized that my tent is not 4' x 4' as I thought I bought; it is actually 3' x 3'. I've been trying to grow 4 very bushy plants in there and now I see why I've been struggling. I removed the tallest plant 3 days into flowering since it was...

Hey there! So I'm three days into flowering and I decided to remove one of my 4 plants from my tent. It was running full-on into the light with little room to spare whilst her cohabitants were much shorter. So my question is this...can I salvage the leaves and make something from them?

Hi! I was planning on switching to flower a couple weeks ago, but I'm having trouble identifying and treating this problem. I can't tell if it's nitrogen or maybe phosphorus deficiency. The problem leaves are toward the bottom, but not necessarily the oldest leaves. The tips of this particular...

Hey folks! So I let my plants get too big during veg. My intention was to start flowering a week or two ago, but I was having gnat and mildew issues. Those issues seem to be taken care of and I think I need to start flowering soon - like tomorrow. My question is this: Would it behoove me to take...

I watered my Papaya last night and this morning noticed some white powder on a couple leaves. Humidity was high (65%). I vented the tent a teeny bit but I just got rid of a few moths and a gnat infestation so I'm trying to keep the bugs out. The plants are very bushy so there are many MANY...

Hello, All 4 of my plants are a bit sick, with two being worse off. The bottom leaves are yellowing and have brown spots. I've been reading other posts on the forum and re-reading articles on the website and I I'm at the point where I need some outside advice. In the last week I started treating...

Hi! Just curious about your defol techniques... The defol tutorial advises us to trim bud sites that are lower and spaced far apart. What would you do with the little guy I'm pointing to? The plant is four weeks old. Thank you!

Happy Sunday! It's a beautiful day in the NW! I know my posts get lengthy so I'll keep it short this time :) You know those hanging sticky fly traps used to nab gnats? I got some of the sticky stuff on a bunch of leaves. Is it ok to wipe them down with oil to remove it? What kind? Tea tree...

I realized a few days ago that my plants have fungus gnats. The damage is not catastrophic at this point, but it it ain't good, folks. Two of the four plants are worse than the others. I applied Neem yesterday and hung some yellow sticky traps inside and outside of my tent. Today it seems like...

First grow. My plants are 4 weeks old. They're healthy, short and very bushy. I've read about the caveats aimed at new growers, but what if I just take a few of the larger fan leaves in the middle or toward the bottom? I've noticed some wet spot on leaves where the fans touch each other and I'd...

Hey weed nerds! My plants are three weeks old. I'm trying to decide if I should top. I've read that the benefit of topping is encouraging a bushier plant and allowing light to penetrate bud sites. I feel like the plants are pretty bushy already (white widow and Papaya) and by using LST I can...

Maybe this is a silly question, but I gotta ask. How do you collect run off from smart pots? And how long do you normally have to wait for run off to collect in the drip tray? I'm pretty conservative with watering so I generally don't see any run off. I have 5 gal pots filled with FF soil and...
