Big bud. It was largely responsible for breeding the quality out of some really exceptional kush strains that I remember from the 80's and early 90's. The outdoor yield wasn't huge, maybe 1-2 lbs per plant was all you could get out of them, but the quality was second to none. Then some greedy...

Yes, the reason you are having a hard time finding anything on downey mildew and cannabis is because the two don't mingle, at least for the most part. Your problem is definitely nute related. You are overfertilizing and then some. Cut your nutes in half and see how that goes. That will also...

Too much molasses will cause nute lockup and it looks like that's what's going on here. It doesn't look too bad though. Stop using it and flush. What's the pH of your drainage? If it's in the high 5's that's too low and could also be contributing to the discoloration. I never use molasses in...

That looks like a nute problem to me, or possibly heat related. Downey mildew does not start from the edges. It uniformly zaps the entire leaf with sooty looking blotches. I have never actually seen any on a pot plant in my nearly 30 years of growing. Powdery mildew is the one you have to worry...

You might want to consider a more powerful exhaust fan that moves more air out of the space. Holy hell man, your room is way too hot! I'm surprised that nobody else mentioned this. Too much heat and not enough ventilation (the two tend to go together) are most likely the reasons for your mold...

Unfortunately, PM is systemic and if the moms had it the clones will have it. Even if you keep your room clean there is always PM in the environment in many parts of the world. You just have to create conditions that don't allow PM to thrive and you won't see it. I do two three things to keep...

I used to get fungus gnats in a previous grow room and used Mosquito Bits to get rid of them. Nontoxic and effective. Also inexpensive and easy to find. Gnats can be a major problem in certain situations and I don't like them around. They can't do much to an established plant, but if you are...

Depends. If you're growing outdoors and are constantly being bombarded with invading bugs there will come a point when the amount of Avid/Forbid in the plant will not be enough to repel them. The 75 day rule of thumb that I mentioned might be a bit overly cautious, but tests revealed no traces...

I'm glad to say it hasn't happened yet. Three years since that post and I haven't seen another mite. And that's not even the best part. I haven't had to use Avid/Forbid since that one application because I have been super vigilant about what comes through the door. I have brought in a few new...

Nope, I decided to get the funky looking green Vornado that I linked a few posts above. It cost another $20, but the 5 year warranty is what sold me. This fan is going to be running pretty much ALL the time and other fans I looked at all had a 1 year warranty. The fact that it raises to 55" is...

That 9418 is almost $150 on Amazon, but I see it at the link below for $125. I can handle that. Hey........ waaaaaaait......... the cheapest shipping option is $64. Yeah, f that. It's not even like I live on some hidden acre on Oahu. I live in CA and I'm right in the thick of it. Back to Amazon...

Yes!!!! This. Thank you.

I have enough to get a OH MY GOD fan if need be. I'm just looking for options that don't necessarily cost 3 figures. Realization is starting to set in though. I'm probably going to have to spend to get what I want. I was looking at the fan in the link below. It checks all the boxes and could...

Cool, I didn't think about Vortex since I was envisioning a pedestal fan. I have a V series that I used as an exhaust fan in a former grow room. I used it for 10 years almost non stop. I haven't needed it since I got my current room going, but I still have it. If I was looking just looking to...
