What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

The whole idea to the low temp/slow dry is mostly to preserve terpenes. Terpenes are layers of films of water with the terpene molecules. When you dry them in temps higher than 72* they will start to evaporate as they are volatile organic compounds. Evaporating terpenes mean less flavor and aroma.
 
To bad you can't experience a failure to learn by practicing on your first grow. All the infomation is printed clearly and easy to understand right here but you continue to post for acceptance. Still no pictures of the setup or plant. Why?
 
Atriax - Here's how I hung them after initial chop.

In long flowering plants, how many weeks of growth should be given indoors?
I am planting the Cachalote, a variant of the Moby Dick, and I have read here that in flowering the plant triples its size.
I normally give them 2 weeks of growth. Should I give them less time in this type of strains? Is one week of growth from germination enough?
 
You may need to train it well and even top it a couple of times but I'd go as long as you can in veg to fill your space.
 
I agree with Bluey. Veg time depends on the size of your tent/grow space and what your end goal is. Stretch(the tripling part) can be controlled by keeping the temp humidity levels the same or slightly higher on lights off as they were on lights on. I did this on my current grow and can confirm that, at least for this cultivar, warm nights will keep your plants from stretching out of control. Obviously there are limits to this and other techniques but it can be done.
 
Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to the world of growing cannabis, and I've been encountering some challenges along the way.
Has someone tried any out-of-the-box methods, strange additives, or peculiar rituals that surprisingly led to impressive yields?
 
Yes i rubbed a magic lamp and wished for gardenier genie to do all the work for me. At first shehe was abit reluctant but with much crying and whining on my part genie wore down. Now i get everything done for me instead of me working for knowledge and experience doing it on my own and trying , now it's all being handed to me. Thanks for asking benben Good luck looking for the end of the rainbow.
 
New grower here. My BIGGEST questions come as an outdoor grower using homemade compost (leaves, fruits and veggies, non-inked paper, and lots of BUGS AND WORMS!) and potting soil mix at a1:2 ratio, using 5 gallon grow bags. I grow from seed. While I have had about 5 plants come to maturity, even letting 1 go through a life cycle without harvesting, I NEVER have buds that look like the nugs that I have seen here, and I don't see many posts that don't include some sort of extra chemical process. I have started some over the winter and they're sprouted, so maybe I could get some advice or guidance on doing something different this time.

My previously cured babies do come out decent, offering me a mellow high, but I know I have much to learn.

Full sun for big plants and flowers.
Blood and bone in your compost for calcium & PK
Manure
Ensure the compost is properly composted..so 6 months or more and monitor it and ensure good moisture levels so it doesn't stall.
Watch the leaves on your plants for problems, they will speak to you.
Try and get your compost pretty neutral to marginally acidic re pH.
Suppliment with a composted tea later in its life cycle if required...likely it will need additional N as it stretches.

5 gallon grow bags outside will not get good yields unless you feed them, I like 135 gallon raised beds for each plant. More soil, more roots, more big buds.

I'm about to transfer my seedlings into some 30 gallon hemp bags and see how they do. If they do better, I'm gonna switch to some bigger ones. And I have decreased my compost ratio drastically because they kept getting burns on the leaves, lessening as I put less of my compost in it.
