Hey zack66 good question. I personally use Grandmas Unsulphered Blackstrap Molasses for a few reasons. Firstly Grandmas has a good source of supplemental Calcium, Iron and Magnesium. Secondly i use an organic live soil with active organisms so in feeding the soil the molasses, this kinda...

And you can let it stretch if you want if it makes it easier to work with just keep in mind the older she gets the harder her stems will get. This can make training difficult sometimes depending how old she is.

Hey drizzlej looking good. With my unique space requirements I love lst. Here is what I have learned and I'm always learning, hopefully until the day I die... When we tie down the TOPS of our plants, also known as the apical tip, this shifts growth auxins (IAA) to the next highest tip creating a...

Hey rengalisback your plants are looking great. From what I have noticed most growers grow with the philosophy of avoiding clipping and pruning too excessively during the flowering period as to avoid undue stress. Personally what I have had success with is on the day of flipping to 12/12, I will...

Hey Budoctor looking great. I have a question. I just germed some bubblelicious myself however they are from Nirvana. I was wondering if you have noticed any growth traits or characteristics that one growing bubblelicious may want to watch for or do special? Thanks and your girls are looking awesome

2fast92 you can grow great medicine with cfl. There are a few tricks though to get the best product. While you veg you will need to use a blue spectrum bulb. I use 6500k spiral bulbs. These cfls lose their effectiveness the further away they are so you need to get them as close as possible. As...

Stewart warner has got it! No harm in getting a head start. This does draw one question in my mind. Just a random thought. If the photo-periods are out of sync between the indoor grow and the actual time of transfer to outdoor environment to what the sun is naturally doing, would this shock or...

HillbillyGrown i will supply you the two main points of thought on this that i have come across and let you decide for yourself. Maybe an experiment :) I myself am not discrediting either method and have personally only ever went from 18/6 to 12/12.... Here is Thought 1: As an indoor grower we...

I take the buds, trim, stems, etc that I am intending for oil and grind them up. Then cover in sealed dish or wrapped in tinfoil and place in oven to decarb at 220f for 20 mins. Once that is done I let it cool before uncovering. I use the crockpot method of making cannaoil, so at this point the...

On a small scale I have had great success with Gerber baby food jars. The bottom of the lid as well as the threads on the lid are coated in a rubbery substance which makes it nice and airtight when you tighten that lid.

Hey there Eikes1390. I think what you are referring to is decarboxilation. This is very beneficial when it comes to making edibles and oils. What happens is the heat that the product is being exposed to kick starts the process of converting inactive properties to actives so you get more of a...

I have tried trimming both ways and prefer a whole plant hanging upside down. I'm not sure if it matters but after a few days after the leaves have fallen around the bud, cupped like you mentioned, I take the leaves and twist them around the bud so the bud is wrapped by the leaf. I have found it...

Lowblower I read your comment then looked at your avatar and had to laugh! Too funny. :)

Hey 1djwesty. I have concluded that if a gentle tug of a yellowing leaf makes it come off then that is fine. But if you gently pull and it is still attached and healthy feeling leave it. These leaves are the powerhouses for our plants and even if they are ugly, they are still aiding in plant...

Hey there MegaBudz97. In short as close as possible. You gotta keep those lights as close as possible to keep stretching down. Those flouro lights lose their effectiveness the further away they are. If you have the option, lining your grow area with mylar or, as i was recently taught by someone...
