I know people use inoculation chambers to help keep contaminants away. Is it really necessary? I am ready to inoculate and don't have anything to make into a chamber. Just wondering if it is really that big of a deal. I boiled them for 90 min (above the water) let them cool over night and...

that one with the purple stem is in an advanced state of chlorosis (lack of chlorophyll) because of the yellow leaves.

Good point! I agree! These plants should be in 5 gallon pots at that size! at least!

possibly zinc deficient too

Yellow leaves with brown spots point to potassium deficiency! I'm sorry, these look sad :( What is your pH? What kind of nutrients have you give your plants, how much and how often?

Even just giving them a good spraying every so often can keep bugs at bay. It's not fun for them to keep getting knocked off :) looking forward to more pics

Some of them look better than others. I learned that especially after creating stress (like topping) it's best to just let the plant do its thing for a bit and heal. Don't over water or over fertilize. I've never used smart pots, but just keep a close watch and the plant will tell you...

Need some better photos of the bugs in order to tell, but definitely something is munching! Keep up with your neem oil treatments. You can't expect them to go away after just once. They'll eventually die/want to find a new home/feasting ground

Super helpful. Thanks so much!

Awesome. I can manage that. After taking the cuttings do I use any sort of rooting hormone? Do I place the cut stem into water or soil? What is the best way to get roots to form?

It happened on my first grow because of light leaks, but it was outdoors in a bad location that I couldn't do anything about. This time I'm indoor and may have had the most minute amount of light leaking in....fixed that though.

yeah unfortunately my camera was stolen. I am using bloom nutes. I did 24/0 with a full 24hours of darkness before going into 12/12. It is a clone. And my concern was that there could be some light leaking in, but it would be minimal. I just fixed that problem though...I don't know how much...

haha yea, if i had bothered to notice the part about his wife i may have caught on :P

I grow on a budget. But I only grow for personal smoke, if your intent is to sell ,then you need to invest. Use CFLs daylight for veg and soft white for flower. You can get four packs at Home Depot for like $10 a piece. You want to get 23 watters (true watts, not the watt equivalent)...

If you are talking about the two that normally sprout on a preflower, they usually always turn red early. Mine do, but I always use clones. It will be fine.
