There have been several great discussions on Drying and Curing lately and I thought I'd share what I recently learned. I'm curing a harvest of Bruce Banner right now and this time I decided to get a bit more empirical about the process so I put a hygrometer in each jar and monitored the inside...

One of the star players in my first autoflower grow is Bruce Banner (BB) from ILGM. BB is a sativa dominate hybrid of OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel that is known for high THC content and that famous sativa buzz. I figured that getting a couple oz of that goodness in a ten week auto grow would...

Hi PeterMatanzas, You are on to something with that quip, made me laugh. I follow a forum of the ProGrow crew in SoCal & Oregon and they are incensed at the continual entry of bogus new "Exotics" appearing on the scene complete with all attendant hype. Any breeder who actually creates anything...

Help Save My Purple Widow From Imminent Dessication! Cberdahl raised a really interesting question in a recent post (linked below) and I thought it might be worthwhile to dig a little deeper into the puzzle of controlled drying in a super dry environment. I am about two weeks away from a sweet...

Beautiful harvest D68 , you deserve a victory lap! Try looking for "The Final Push" that signals your plant's last effort to make some seed. If you see new white pistils emerging from an existing calyx right next to the older darkened hairs it is a signal that the cannabinoid levels are maxxed...

Hi sbcomposer, GWE has some legit Scrog experts who will likely be helpful, but here are a few ideas for you to consider: Your humidity is *really* low for the temperature in your room. Without belaboring the details, check the VPD chart below and see if you can hit "The Green Zone" in your...

I'm not sure if good manners permits posting this glowing reference to a thread on another Canna Site, so if this is a breach of GWE etiquette please let me know and I'll pull the posting. That being said, I *really* want to share the work of "Joe Crow," an obsessed, mad scientist wizard at...

I Do. I believe most growers trim right down to the stalk, Petiole, Stipule and all. My defoliation goal is mostly to expose lower bud sites to light, so I snip the fan and leave the stem for any juice it can contribute to the plant. They dry up and get trimmed in turn. It's all about the...

What MeEasy said. If you can afford to wait I think you'll be rewarded for the delay. My last grow looked just like that, yellowing leaves and all. I did a "Late Harvest" experiment and two weeks later the buds were fatter & juicier with the beginnings of CBN Amber showing everywhere. Even the...

Here's an updated version of the BU2B PPP Method tutorial PDF. The only changes are minor typos and a reference to CBG when CBN was intended. Adios 2020 (and good riddance!), -Grouchy

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day Till the last recorded syllable of time... -Macbeth, in frustration over the delays in his own "Harvest!" JohnEmad recently posted a link to an article in Weed World magazine that makes me wonder if we are all...

Hammer53 et. al. BU2B & I have had problems keeping the PDF link active today. Sorry for the confusion. I'm attaching the BU2B PPP Method PDF file here again in the hope it solves the problem. Saludos a todos, -Grouchy

Thanks to JohnEmad I stumbled onto one of the serious publications servicing the commercial cannabis growers and learned a lot. There is an issue of Grow Magazine available free online at the link below and if you are interested in what it takes these days to make a living growing weed, take a...

So I have an experimental grow in progress and since the results are promising I thought I'd share it with you all in the form of a "Contest" to count the surprising abundance of bud sites on this interesting plant. The rules are simple: review the high resolution pics and offer your guess at...

I tried a suggested treatment for spider mites using a spray of 50/50 alcohol and water. A few hours after I saw severe damage to small leaves & buds. Pretty sure it isn’t bud rot cause it happened so soon after spraying. I'm not sure what to do next, White Widow is a week or so away from...

Thanks everyone. Here’s a sample White Widow bud under SpideyMite attack:

I'm about two weeks away from a nice White Widow harvest and the dreaded Spider Mites are attacking! The infestation is still minor but they can ramp up fast. Looking for advice on safe treatment options. I'd estimate a dozen or so fan leaves showed yellow Spidey spots a week ago, and I...
