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.

Hi, Gang! My outdoor veggie garden is now a mini cannabis research project. I have one plant, from a White Widow x White Widow self made photo fem seed in 2021. Seed started March 23rd, transplanted from a 4" pot as a very healthy 4" - 5" seedling April 18th. Today, May 17th, it is four feet...

I have made RSO for five years now, following Rick Simpson's recipe, which is not decarbing the bud (as GWE suggests) before processing. Per RS, the processing heat automatically decarbs the THCa during distillation. I have two questions: 1. Have you made RSO before, using decarbed bud vs. vs...

Started 3 weeks late, but no big deal - have an 8 month growing season. Seeds had plantable tap roots 48 hours after beginning soak in water. Here is a pic of my seed starting set up. 100W Viparspectra light. Sprouted self-made 2020 seeds of White Widow (WW), WW x Durban Poison landrace (DP) and...

Hi, Forum. Did you know raw bat guano can kill you? Well, it can. Per several web reports, two Rochester, NY men died from using it for their cannabis grows last fall. The cause? Histoplasmosis, a sometimes fatal lung disease caused by the fungus Histoplasma capulatum, which grows in guano...

Has anyone noticed that the "Check Out Our Grow Community" section and links was removed from the last two newsletters? I always used it for a quick check Sunday morning at on new posts or replies. I hope S and N add it back in!

Hi, Group. I keep losing the threads to post "Hash talk", so recreated this to post two pics of my RSO lab set up. - One is using a Buchner funnel and Gast DAA vacuum pump to filter raw alcohol soltion. - Two is filtered solution boiling down to yield finished RSO. Same line from the one liter...

For those of you who make concentrates. Do you bother to cure your buds? I am currently experimenting by over drying buds for making RSO and dry ice hash. The drier buds crumble very easily, exposing the trichomes, making processing easier. Don't cure it unless bud is for smoking. Your...

For all. We have to something with all that great weed we don't smoke! So, I have been thinking about what the forum's preferred methods are for making infused oils, tinctures and edibles. Any personal favorites? I admit, I have gotten lazy and simply add RSO to MCT oil, chocolate bars and...

Hi, Gang. Metro Phoenix is getting rain and cold temps this Sat and Sun. Way too worried about budrot setting in on my two big sativas, so I harvested the bigger one to be cautious. In flower for 3 months, 80% of pistils dark and curled, maybe 5% amber trichomes, lots of clear ones, cloudy ones...

Hi, Group. For those interested, the Seedsman blog has a lengthy article by Jorge Cervantes, summarizing a scientific study by Rx Green Technologies on the benefits of flushing. Bottom line, flushing does NOT: 1) Improve THC % 2) Remove salts and minerals from buds 3) Make a better cure 4) Make...

Hi, Gang. I have two HerbiesHeadShop "Apple Betty" plants in my outdoors garden. Cultivar is 60/40 sativa/indica and started flowering mid-August. See pics. I am not expecting it to finish until Thanksgiving. Can those more experienced with growing sativas outdoors in a hot, dry desert...

Hi, Guys and Gals. I actually enjoy getting "into the weeds" about growing weed. I came across a post by Nova Seedbank on How Long is the Flowering Time of Weed. It is one of the best I have read and gets deep into the weeds on strains, temps, RH, nutes and lighting, and explains how all...

Hi, Forum. Does anyone have experience growing triploid genetic seeds? Supposedly, they produce stockier plants and more bud. Appreciate your observations.
