We're going to be taking in a friend's cat for three weeks or so in January, and I realized that I'm going to need to figure out what to do with my tent. Presently it's in a corner of the dining room, with a perpetually-open apartment window (and tent flap open during lights-on) being pretty...

Various scenarios are forcing me to move up my current grow timetable; we have to move by the end of March so I'm planning to flower two plants (one giant encroaching monster, one runt that's already got pistils) in my tent no later than Nov. 1. This morning I was trying to adjust the monster...

I've been tweaking a gummy recipe from Leafly after discovering that the recipe as written doesn't quite work (I'm looking to make gummies more consistent with MajorBrand bears in that they're solid at room temperature and won't melt). I think I'm almost there, and left one from the most recent...

I'm finally going to grab a bag of Sohum soil this week, and was wondering if I'd be able to transplant into it from regular soil without shocking them too much. The plants in question are still in veg and have been getting Megacrop, but I can back off to plain water for a few days/flush. Has...

So I made my first batch of glycerin tincture a few days ago (crockpot method). I could have cooked it a tad longer, as well as actually ground the bud but live and learn. All in all it turned out pretty nice...and yes, wearing gloves until it's in the final containers is a good idea. Figured...

So I'm still battling some sort of mite problem, and was pointed toward Green Lacewings for control. I'm not sure how well they would be suited for indoors...we do have a moth problem and the lacewings might take care of that as well. Has anyone used these critters (or other control insect)...

"Sure, I can fire up the crockpot at 8PM and have plenty of time to make this tincture"...haha yeahNO. Water bath's not even at a boil yet. At least I'm off work tomorrow (so this was kinda-sorta-notreally planned). I'm sure leaving it on low/warm all night if I have to won't hurt...

This is a clone that rooted about a month ago and is in soil. A few days ago, I noticed this "vortex" at the apex of the plant (not been topped) I'd been away for a week, and my roommate was in charge of watering....she was using a combination of the Megacrop-water (veg stage) sprayers I had...

So I'm finally making some headway (ha) on my infusion/tincture/etc projects, and discovered something interesting. Might help me narrow down what this mystery strain is, might not. During flower, the plant generally had very little smell but when I did smell it (typically a sign she was...

Just want to share that I've actually gotten water cloning to work, with minimal stem prep--all I did for this newest clone was the original cut and took off a few lower leaf sites. I used some of my MegaCrop water for the medium, covered the container (glass jar inside an opaque pot with a...

My current plant was just shy of harvest (I had been battling PH and mite issues but things seemed to be under control), and decided to suddenly drop all her fan leaves so I decided to chop. I go in to start cutting and I find this on the main stem (pic) WTF is this stuff and is anything I...

I was browsing on one of my shopping sites and found "Cyber Clean Leafcare Cup". https://www.thegrommet.com/cyber-clean-plant-leaf-cleaning-compound It does have neem oil so might not be good for plants in flower, but it claims to remove bugs as well as dust. Not a total solution by any...

One of my mystery clones is a week or three out from harvest, and things went bad. She's dropping a LOT more fan leaves than she should, and runoff PH is a bit high (like 8). I should probably harvest before something else goes wrong...probably too late to try and correct now. I think I...

We still have yet to sample my crop; I'm trying to mitigate a shitty trim job before decarbing some for tincture/etc (I am never dry trimming again; what a pain). We have a Decarbox, but I'm torn on getting a Nova now for ease of use (our oven has sporadic issues, and I'd rather not have it set...

I'm planning to flower the remaining plants from my mystery crop after the first of the year. Given my tent's heat issues, I was thinking of setting my grow light up on some sort of support frame under my desk--I can't mount it to the underside--so they'd still have decent airflow. Heat from...

This is another clone from my original plant. I rooted it in water, then transferred to Humboldt Earth with a root inoculant (Roots Organics Oregonism XL). Plain PHed water for the first few waterings and then Megacrop. Starting the middle of last week I noticed new leaves coming in light green...

Just looking for a few ideas about keeping 2 smallish clones in veg over the winter without using my tent (airflow/temp issues, the only 'safe' places to put it have either no airflow, or will be right next to a radiator). My current plan is to use some sort of frame under my desk for the light...

So I cut her down today; I was seeing some amber trichs (possibly a bit more than I wanted, but oh well...that's on me for not knowing exactly what I was supposed to be looking at) and I also realized that I'm going to be away next week so wanted to get everything started curing (roomie will...

I officially started flushing yesterday (timetable got moved up due to an inspection next month, if the tent is still up it needs to look like a wardrobe or portable darkroom which means no lights/equipment plugged in), and harvested one lone bud today to dry for the hell of it and practice my...

This thing is in week 12 of flower (I think...things got crazy here for a week or 2 and I lost track). I'm using the FF flower feeding schedule, added a bit of molasses. I'm still trying to get the hang of photographing with a loupe; my cellphone seems to play best with it. For the last pic I...
