What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

stookin I’m new with indoor growing myself, but use the same mix as I’ve done for years as I do for my outdoor grow. DAAS69 is really a master of the craft and you’ll hear a bunch of different ideas for your soil. Get yourself a soil PH meter that has the fertility meter w it. I’m kw a lot of ppl here use fox farms, but you’ll learn that you’ll eventually come up with your own mix. Me personally,I use a mix of reg potting soil as a base and add worm casting, vermiculite, blood and bone meal, and guano. I don’t measure, basically cuz I’ve mixed everything so many times over 20+ years, but you want your PH at 6.8-7 and 4-5 fertility. You turn your mix to mud, somewhat solid and insert the meter. This is if your doing your own mix. Just thought I’d throw in my way. Good luck and welcome to GWE. You’ll get a ton of help from many great ppl. 🙏🏼✌🏻
 
Retodd is completely correct, except the part about me being a master, I ain't a master at nothin, even my wife says I ain't a master at cuddling up, lol.
Starting with good soil is 95percent of good growing MJ.
I use Mississippi Delta soil, with lots of perlite added in it. Every shovel full has at least 20-25 red wigglers in it..
But good luck with your grow.
 
What is the best way to rid your plants of spider mites when you are 4 weeks into flower with plants that finish flower in 10 weeks
 
You can use a mix of alcohol and water and spray them. My friend PaganRich had a bad problem with them on his last grow. Maybe he’ll chime in. I’ve heard of castile soap and water too, but I have never personally ever had to deal with them.
 
Thanks for the shout Retodd mate. Peycke I feel your pain...they are bastards of the highest order, extremely difficult to keep under control, ruin plants and your whole day, lower yields, etc, etc. That`s the bad news. Good news is, they can be `managed`. I use a rotating selection of either, Neem oil, insecticidal soaps, SM-90, alcohol and water and now a pesticide whilst vegging. I run a perpetual harvest for 8 months of the year. I smoke a lot, build up supplies then shut down in the hot months. This year I picked them up early and have lost at least one poss two plants as well as lower yields. Yet, it`s when you see them happily spinning webs on your buds that you want to get a sledge hammer out and pound the little sods into the floor-repeatedly.
Anyway, my advice, hit them with the heavy stuff in veg, pesticides, insecticides, neem oil as there`s no buds. Then flowering I rotate the options as they build resistance and I paint the leaves to try and coat the eggs with neem or soap. Every bloody leaf I do-sigh. For buds, alcohol and water though they do get used to that. It is an unrelenting battle but you can keep their numbers down with robust and regular treatments. Also, beware of cross comtamination between rooms, tents, etc. They can be beaten but realistically, you will need to take a break to allow any unhatched to hatch and die. Best time to do this is hot weather which will make them come out to party. Sorry it appears bleak but you really have to dig deep not to get totally fed-up...I`m already at that point :D Also, watch out for what some folk claim to work, bleach and water submerged for 6 hrs was one barking idea someone was trying. Just don`t get anything on the buds and don`t make solids with the sugar leaves, etc as both will be coated by stuff best not smoked. I miss my solids. Pesticide bombs are good as well I believe...perhaps it`s that word bomb that is attracting me. Anyway, all the best mate and good luck.
 
Has anyone ever use regular led bulbs for growing? I'm starting a grow with some,but they are just seedlings now. Input would be appreciated.
 
For outside in the ground I always use diatomaceous earth when planting. There’s a mix of hydrogen peroxide you can use indoor. I’ve never had too, but I’m sure you’ll find it if you google
 
I am growing DWC in a small grow box that measures 4ft tall , 16 inches wide and 9 inches deep. I have two plants growing at the moment, but unsure if I have the correct lighting. What would you suggest for the best lighting that isn't terribly expensive and can be used for the entire grow?

Thank you
 
First serious grow. Indica seeds from China. Indoor , five gal bucket, floresc lights 24 hours a day untill 12 on 12 off for five days to flower.CO2 generator, water w/ miracle grow twice a day.Germinated easy and took off. It gave every indication that it was female then when it flowered it grew pollen sacks everywhere. It's been five months nutureing and tending to it now I am gonna just kill it. How do I keep from repeating this . What makes it be able to be male and female?
What kind of sick sorcery is this.
Also what is the general consensus on "Bat gauno" for bud growth. I have heard mixed opinions. Stanky
 
regular florescent lights wont work well on plants and using Miracle grow will work but the time release stresses plants ,what is your grow medium if you are in dirt watering twice a day is to much, a plant should take 6 weeks in veg if you are training it ,4 if you are not and then its 8 to 10 weeks in bloom ,I kept some for about 6 months when I first started growing and they hermied to , Was it a female seed ,read all the tutorials you can on gwe and try it again with a good light and some nutrients made for cannabis and you'll do alot better
 
Hello,
I want to start my crop and from what I have read one of the banks that best speak is Sensi Seeds, I do not know but I think I will start with seeds of his. Will you recommend any online store to order them? I have found this one https://www.semillaslowcost.com/20-sensi-seeds-feminizadas is cheaper than the official one but I would like to know if anyone has ever bought here and how it is. I accept ideas from other shops and banks, thank you friends !!! I look forward to your opinions and advice. Thaaaanks!! :smile::smile:
