Been growing off and on for several years now. The subject of ph of the local tap water came up. Years ago, before legalization for medicinal MJ I always noticed a high ph level in my tap water. Sometimes 9 and above. But lately, or should I say that a large amount of capital has been invested...

So hard to believe that it's been 7 years since I posted this. A lot has changed in my state of residence. I now have a Medical Marijuana Card that I can get a prescription with that allows me to legally purchase cannabis at a dispensary so I've stopped growing. And if things go as they should...

I have a 3 month old plant that I grew from seeds I got from my last grow. Kept it short this time using LST and it only grew to about 18" tall. The buds on it are swollen and look great. The trichomes are all over with a small percentage of them just turned to amber. The buds look great but...

In 2013 I ordered some seeds from a supplier in the UK. They were "White Widow" strain and they grew beautiful, thick, frosty buds which had a very strong smell and gave a great buzz. A year or so later I repeated this and got some males and made some seeds. Then I ordered some seeds of other...

I took one of the branches off of the lower portion of the plant and let it dry for 5 days. Twisted one up and it's so smooth, so clean and yes I got a buzz on the first couple of puffs. Not the head twisting rush you'd get from smoking a big bud in Amsterdam but well worth the effort. Now the...

May I trouble you grow gurus for just a little more info. I've targeted the next full moon to harvest so I'm only days away now. The buds have swollen up and are gargantuan with loads of trichomes, most of them are getting cloudy but there are still enough clear that I will give it to that full...

Such interesting reading. Love it, love it. My next grow will be awhile so I'll keep all this info in mind. I examined one of the photos closely and wow, some of those ancillary buds are covered in trichomes. Looks like it will be frosty buds for Halloween.

Okay, forgive me for being bored with Cabin Fever due to Covid-19 shutdown, this is probably too wordy a post but here goes. In the words of that inimitable philosopher of life, "Vinny Barbarino" on the old "Welcome Back Cotter" series, "I'm so confused!" Do I have nute burn or a case of too...

I have a sativa female that's in week 8 of flowering. Her leaves show signs of nute burn but the buds are huge and getting fatter. So I cut the nutes way down 2 weeks ago and now I stopped nutes altogether. She's been yellowing up as expected. I was always real stingy with the nutes because I've...

I've got a beautiful female that has been well tended too for the last 5 months. She's got lots of buds and they are thickening up but not to the degree one would hope 5 weeks into flowering. My real problem is that it's just too hot. 90° to 95° is a daily norm. The plant seems to be holding her...

I've got quite a beautiful female about 6 weeks into flowering. She's got fan leaves out the wazzu and very bushy so it's apparently healthy. It has been a rather hot summer and since I have her outside there's no way to avoid 90°+ temps. It's been as high as 96° but and she's taking 1-2 gallons...
