A week ago I took this photo of an early flower on the tip of one of my stems. It looked weird. Not really female flowers. Not nanners. Not male flowers. I suspected this was an early indication of a Hermie, and did a little research, but could not find anything like this. It did heighten my...

I have started to travel a little bit, which caused me to investigate automatic drip irrigation. I use fairly inexpensive Moistenland irrigation pump/programmable timers that you can see sitting on 5-gallon pails in the grow room. Initially I bought a couple for $30, but the price has risen on...

This is where my grow room is at the moment. Over the next week, I'm planning on getting into the Way-Back machine and setting it to 4-17-2021, when I dropped the current Do-Si-Dos sprout, and let you in on all the fun and drama in the Casa Bacca Racca grow room. But as we join our young...

(NOTE ON BRAND USAGE: Prior to legalization, my stealth strategy meant all I ever used was off-the-shelf home center lighting, garden center fertilizer and landscape supply catalog grow media and containers. My flower, fruit, herb, and vegetable gardening covered for my cannabis grows. I learned...

I'm not a fan of corporate "Big Bud" America -- whether I'm paying too much for vapid bud down at Dispensary Inc., or paying 3-5x standard retail for nutes and grow media simply because I'm growing cannabis and not tomatoes. Those things bother me enough that I'll go to great lengths to avoid...

Folks at The New Yorker are having some fun now that rec. cannabis is legal there. https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/my-new-weed-store

Forum has descended into name calling, so I'm out of here. Short visit back, but too much hate on the internet. So for all the bashing and hate, I thought I'd leave with this statement from Scotts Miracle-Gro. We can use more friends...

I'm ready to harvest, I think. I'd like to read some opinions on what has gone on with the trichomes. Halfway through flowering the trichomes were quite clear, but many of the tops seemed amber. I thought, first they turn cloudy, then amber. Along the way I took a close look at the trichomes...

I have been adding the Botanicare Sweet/Berry supplement to my Miracle-Grow Vegetables & Herbs (not the regular stuff, this has more natural ingredients)/ Miracle Gro/Bloom Booster mix for the past 10 days. Prior to using this supplement I would get a big rush of grape aroma after watering...

SoOrbudgal got me thinking the other day, when she mentioned we were lucky to grow 12 plants here in Michigan. What are your laws and how do you plan your grows within the law? With a 12 plant limit, I have 4 plants dedicated to a continuous grow, (seed/early veg, late veg, early flower, late...

I want to keep my White Widow Extreme genetics going. Do it easy; non-feminized seed. Once I have more seed to play with, then I'll work on a feminized version. The question is how large/mature should I allow my plants to get before I go 12/12? I think I read on a seed site, and maybe somewhere...

Some members have asked about this method of growing. It is not described on the website. The technique was described to me over 40 years ago and predates the popularity of coco coir. It is mentioned briefly in Ed Rosenthal's "Marijuana Grower's Handbook." Fertigation, basically, is hydroponics...

While the Amnesia Trance is off growing fat and happy buds, I'm coming up to decision time on my Week 6 & 8 White Widow grow. Non-feminised seed from Seedsman. Only one of first four seeds germinated, forcing another planting two weeks later. All have been abused while I was concentrating on...

I think I need to find an easier way to post these images. Anyway, Cabinets started as 2'x2'x4' boxes that I could get cut out of a single sheet of 4'x8' plywood then carry home in my car (as well as a 2'x'2 MDF base and luan top. Then things got out of hand. Lights are fixed, shelving is...

My traditional farmhouse Michigan basement is cold with very low headroom. To fight the cold I built a set of cabinets based around a 2'x2' footprint, then insulated with reflective bubble wrap. Lights and seed-starter heating maps provide heat. Ventilation at the moment is simple convection...
