I had flushed several times but it still remained yellow. I also tried various nutes (calmag, azomite, epsom salt) and it did not respond to those either. Since that last post, I started feeding every other water with Fox Farms Grow Big and am finally starting to see improvement. Looks much...

One of these things is not like the others; one of these things is kinda the same. Four months later the Orange Velvet that got the coffee grounds is still struggling...

The power supply to my cheap(ish) import LED light failed. I only had one photo (Sundae Driver) under it which I had just started on 12/12 1 week prior. Where I live (Arizona) I am still less than 12 hours daylight. However in a month I will be up to 13. Will it reveg if I bring it outdoors...

Lack of experience has made me ultra paranoid. Was looking at some recently cured Thai Haze I saw some hairs on the bottom of a candy leaf and immediately feared it was mold: but it was everywhere and I had already sampled the batch and it was very nice so decided to take a close look at the...

Just finished harvesting my last plant from my first batch and wanted to share one piece of wisdom for other newbies. Don't go (too) crazy! I was greedy, wasn't sure how many seeds would germinate, and lacked general wisdom so ended up with seven plants of four different species. Some auto...

After several failed attempts at cloning using the typical methods, I decided to try air layering. Worked on my first try. Didn't use Sphagnum moss - just a rapid rooter, cloneX, cereal box liner, and aluminum foil.

The two stunted ChemDawgs finished their 4 week cure yesterday and I tried my first home grow. Very nice - such satisfaction smoking your own harvest. Not that there weren't setbacks. In addition to the plants being stunted, I had a fungus gnat infestation which forced me to throw out the...

I have a problem I am trying to solve. I have a clone that I stressed out doing an experiment with coffee grounds. To save the plant I had to transplant it into a much bigger pot with normal, un-coffee ground-laced, soil. Good news is it is recovering nicely. Bad news is I don't have any...

I finally managed to get a good money-shot. Ended up with a 5MP USB digital eyepiece which I put in an inspection scope I use in the shop. Was able to use it with my phone so no need to pull out the laptop. This is my ChemDawg I recently harvested. Currently on the third week of curing...

Here are the temperature and humidity conditions in the chamber.

I got the Xenvo MysticMimi suggested. A big improvement but this is the best I've managed so far using it along with my S21 Ultra. Have a mic stand on order - should help...

Here's a better pic from the top showing the difference in color better. Also some curling on the plant with used coffee grounds added on the right. I think I am about to abort this experiment and try to nurse it to better health.

1 week later. Both show similar growth. The +coffee is ~1" shorter but started shorter. The "no coffee" (left) does seem healthier. Greener, perkier.

GelatoPie (Gelato/KushMintsII/Gelato). Probably should trim it but my first grow and decided to err on the side of caution.

I saw Nebula recommended snipping off a bit and putting under a microscope in one of the tutorials but I see a lot of really nice photos in-situ. How do you do it?

I am not prepared right now to try a more ambitious test using the coffee as the primary media but I did have two OrangeVelvet clones ready to pot so I decided to try a safer test (I don't want to lose either plant). Both pots have a 4:1 mix of Whitney Farms Organic Potting Soil and Pearlite...

I have access to an almost unlimited supply of coffee grounds and can't help wonder if it could somehow be put to good use growing weed. I've read lots of anecdotal articles about how great it is as an amendment as well as some scientifically back articles about how you should avoid it unless...

I think I am about 1 week away from my first harvest but am seeing a lot of bugs crawling over the soil. I *think* they are just drinking the moisture since the plant seems healthy but would love it if someone could identify them and let me know if I have a problem.

Looks like I'll get something out of my sad little ChemDawg soon. Most of the trichomes are still clear but a few are turning milky on the middle cola. How much longer do you think before I should harvest? (IOW, should I start my flush?)

Borrowed a friends FLIR to take this psychedelic pic of the microchamber. Wish I could afford one of these - seems like the perfect tool for monitoring temperatures. Can see the temps of every part of the plant in one pic.
