It looks like the breaks have dried/scabbed over. If so, they'll likely die off. I'd cut them. If you have developed buds, maybe try to salvage them?

Nice plants, Beeman. I had to pull three 18" - 24" autos growing outside in the metro-Phoenix 115F heat. Did not check on them for a couple days. The sunscreening blew off and they got fried. Still have an F1 Malawi Gold x Durban Poison landrace going strong.

Quick question. Are you growing from feminized seeds or random, unknown bag seed? Always good to avoid problems and used fem'd seeds. You can also grow out a plant from fem'd seeds and get more/free fem'd seeds!

Hey, Chipmunk. I like Herbies Headshop, too. I have tried some of the above mentioned seed sources and had to fuss with getting several new replacement seeds due to non-sprouting. (I know how to sprout!) Herbies has their own seeds and resells from most of the others. Pricing is good. Shipping...

I think that, perhaps, you are "helicoptering" (being to attentive) to your plants. You got your pH to 5.8. Good. Leave them be a few days to adjust. Then bring it up to 6.1 or 6.2. See the GWE nutrient pH availabilty chart for why. I know golfnrl will disagree, but I never check EC and my...

Come on, Chipper! Everyone has something to contribute. An opinion, an insight, maybe a great edible recipe. Hang in there. Did you give up when your first grow wasn't perfect? (No.)

Nice hash stick, Gator. Good to have your skills on board!

Hi, growingisfun. (Of course it is!) I do not have a direct answer for you, simply some ideas. "Favorite strains" is a personal choice. Browse the seed catalogs for those that interest you. Try to get varieties that finish at the same time. It will make your grow, dry, cure easier. As you...

@golfnrl hit it spot it. BTW, Wheels, nice seedlings for a first time grow. You old growers know this, but I thought I would toss out the below, sort of plant chemistry 101 for those interested. "Cation exchange capacity" is a normal function when using coco coir. A cation is a positive ion...

RSO: -Use Swan 99% isopropyl $30/gal at Ace Hardware. -Immerse bud for 5 min, strain. Redo again. Combine and filter. -Here's the tricky part. Buy a 1 liter pyrex FILTER flask and rubber stopper for the top, plus 3' of plastic aquarium hose to fit nipple. -Fill flask 80% with alcohol solution...

You know, I have reread your posts and have come to the conclusion that you should scratch the outside grow and get a nice tent/grow light set up for a closet or in your basement. Much safer. Remember possession is one thing. Growing = culitivation = manufacture. Manufacture usually = $fine +...

Chocolate edible recipe. Buy a $3 or $4 fancy, flavored Ghirardelli or Lundt chocolate bar at the grocery store. Melt in a double boiler on stove, low heat. I use a two cup Pyrex measuring cup in a pan half full of water. Add RSO or decarbed hash/kief to desired potency, mix very well. Pour...

Hi, again, Stonedboomer. You're learning! And good plant care is essential. Allow me to recommend the following. Remember, good grows are PLANNED grows. I believe this will get you going: 1. Buy good, low smell AUTOFLOWER seeds (genetics) from reputable source, 90-100 days seed to harvest...

Hi, Oldsmoker. Another old smoker here. I usually grow in a greenhouse with 50/50 coco/perlite, but have done a couple of outside, soil grows and years of veggie gardening. I'm going to throw out a couple of ideas based on the severe wilting: 1) Lack of water, even possibly overwatering, and...

Hi, Enigma. Frosty trim is good for dry ice hash or making RSO, both of which I do. You can also make cannabutter from it. Be a shame to toss it out. If really frosty, you can make " canna caps" by decatbing the trim and filling gel caps with it. Makes a good stony edible.

Bravo to Sirius! Must have gone crosseyed with all the coding. Have you guys seen the "Trophy" area yet? I guess it is nice, but I'm more interested in helping and encouraging other growers than getting "likes".

Here are some pics of my setup.

Good knowledge here, Benji. I am an outdoor grower, but let me toss out this trick. I start my seedlings under a Viparspectra 100w, dimmable LED. To increase the light hitting the seedlings. I placed an old mirror on the bottom of the set up, reflecting the light back up. Free, easy, no extra...

Hi, Forum. Jorge Cervantes (Jorge Cervantes<info@jorge-cervantes.com) sent me an email with a link to the new, revised and vastly impoved High Times Magazine (https://hightimes.com/grow/stop-spraying-and-hoping-your-pests-already-outsmarted-you-inside-the-everswarm/). It contains what is...

To our forum member @golfnrl! For harvesting 42 oz from two indoor plants. Even Nebula was impressed, as she mentioned in today's newsletter. Give him an accolade or two for this marvelous accomplishment. A true "pot whisperer" and home plant scientist.
