I was recently asked by a first time grower friend, what were the most important things she should know. That is a really great question. And I don't pretend to have THE Answer, but I have my answer and I thought I'd drop it on this elite community and ask for your suggestions. So, "What are...

The AC Infinity Cloudline fans are high end ventilation gear for the grow room. If you have one you know what I'm talking about, and if not you may want to check them out. A programmable exhaust fan is an essential component for controlling heat and humidity. The bad news is that AC Infinity...

A Different Kind of Grow Log This is an unusual format for a Grow Log since the event took place last Spring/Summer and I’m relating it with the benefit of hindsight. Not everyone’s cup of tea maybe but I hope that the mix of “Real-Time” notes and my explanatory narrative is readable and...

About 20 years ago I decided that I needed to give my lungs a respite from the rigors of CannaCombustion so I began to look into dry flower vaporizers which were kind of a new thing back then. That was a life changer, tho I didn't realize it at the time. According to the "InterWeb," "In 2003, a...

For the first time in my long and passionate relationship with cannabis I'm considering the need for a "Tolerance Break!" As it turns out I have have more high potency cannabis (5 flavors & counting), in more forms (flower, hashish, tincture & edibles) and more spare time (retired) than ever...

I try to keep abreast of new growing techniques for educational purposes and I'm intrigued by the commercial growers adoption of Light Deprivation used in outdoor grows. The idea is to speed up the flowering process for photo plants and decrease the time between harvests, or make the best use of...

I've been growing for decades, but my first autoflower grow is headed for the Jar and I can't help but reflect on what a strange trip this has been! Hint: it's not 'like growing photos!' D'oh. I chose autoflower seeds because the schedule for this grow was snug right from the start (camping...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
