    1st time please help evaluate

    I think they got away from you at the "stretch". I think having your lights at the correct distance and a bit of tying down with LST and you'll get much tighter colas next time. Edited: I just googled your grow light and its recommended to have a backup light in a 2x2 for full coverage in...

    Switching from RDWC back to coco

    Hi, either buy top quality pre buffered coco for the cannabis market (e.g. Canna Coco) or if you are using the dehydrated cheaper bricks its super important to rinse the salts off then buffer yourself with cal mag or you are likely to have issues. Once you've done that coco is the best medium...

    Started flushing today

    Yeah I was reading about that, if a plant feels under attack, usually from deer or other animals trying to graze on her, or any other kind of stress she will push out trichomes. My avatar is a house cat who likes cannabis leaves. and I'm going to try simulating that by letting her at it a day...

    The best soil for autoflower high yields?

    Hi, I think you need to lower your expectations and get actual hands on experience if you are a first timer. Not being a Debbie Downer but why don't you start with 4 or so plants and see how you get on. It takes a very knowledgeable and experienced growers in optimal circumstances to be getting...

    Started flushing today

    Beautiful looking plants you've got there. Absolutely stacked, i'm drooling. I stopped flushing (soil/ coco mix) 2 grows ago and I haven't noticed anything different. I've noticed a lot more people saying it's a myth.

    White mold or Mycorrhizae fungi on top of coco?

    I would VERY carefully remove anything that has not been touched by that Botrytis (Bud rot- sorry dude) It is caused by high humidity during flowering. If those spores disperse they will be in your tent environment, so I recc bagging the affected areas with small baggies, tying them off then...

    Advice Needed: First Time Grower

    Hi, you're doing fine! They will probably show tomorrow or the day after. I woudn't bother with all that airflow until they are small seedlings . I woul'dn't be watering every day though, if in such large container,just mist it or roots won't be healthy.

    Discoloured leaves with black spots, anyone know what this is and how to treat it?

    Well you you have a calcium deficiency, it's easily "spotted" excuse the pun, and it will halve your yields and leave you with a very weak,hollow stemmed plant if left untreated. There is calcium in the soil, but it's a small pot so its either all used up or worse, locked out.

    Discoloured leaves with black spots, anyone know what this is and how to treat it?

    Looks like a calcium deficiency to me. Do you supplement cal/mag? Also, even if your leaves have spots or discolouration, I wouldn't be removing them just because of this, let the plant leech what it needs from that leaf or it will go on and defile another new leaf.

    Automated grow boxes

    I just checked out the Grobo and was surprised how small the thing is- 14"wide x 14" deep. I have 24"x24" and it's a tight fit for one plant. So you could fit one narrow plant in there. Weed plants are wider than 14" so it would be smushed up against the glass. I was amazed at the price, you...

    Week 8 Flower, Potassium Deficiency: Keep Flushing? Feed?

    Thanks for the reply, the grow has been without issue apart from not using a scrog net. I'm waiting on my phone to charge so I can take a decent photo. I'll pop one up in about 30 mins. The top colas are quite mature, but the underlings still have quite a few white hairs and are not best...

    Biblical Cannabis

    I am sure I read recently that in the Bible Jesus was welcomed on Palm Sunday with "fragrant boughs of Canna Bosum" , and it really was the cannabis plant. Now on Palm Sunday they give out free tree bits outside, but it's fir tree or something like that.

    First Grow

    Hiya, just read your thread. I started week 7 (of a 9-10 weeker) on Sunday, and i'm hoping mine get a fair bit bigger too. Sorry to read you found a couple nanners, my tent is in my wardrobe with slatted doors for airflow, but it also means i gotta go to bed in the dark and get up in the dark...
