    3 Year Cure, Does It Look OK?

    In 2010 I grew a few lbs of bud on my terrace. I gave most of it away as I didn't smoke at the time, but I did keep a couple onces of everything I produced. I cured everything in mason jars (after dried), burping regularly for a few months. I threw it all on a shelf in my closet and forgot about...

    Cutting away rot when manicuring???

    I've been harvesting various plant the last week and will continue to over the next week or 2. While manicuring I'm cutting away the bad bud. In some cases I find some early rot (slight browning on the inside of the bud near the stem). The question is, if I miss a little of the early forming...

    Mold spores and specks of powdery mildew

    Question for the Pro's I'm going to have some mold spores and specks of powdery mildew that are going to get missed at harvest time. Will these guys die during the drying and curing process? I'm assuming these spores and specks of mildew are going to end up filtering through my bubble ice...

    have to harvest early...Bud Rot. What do you think of the trichs???

    Unfortunately I'm having to harvest early. A few days ago there were a few bud rot spots on my Chruch's, today they are 3X as many and a few main colas are under attack. The shitty part is the weather turned better 2 days ago, 80 degrees on my patio and sun and it's supposed to last another 3...

    Bud Rot or Pest

    At first I thought it was nute burn, but then some people said it could be caterpillars. I've found a new patch on the plant and don't know what this is... First pic is an infected bud from 3-4 days ago, I cut it off. Second and 3rd pic are of the new breakout, just one bud site, but near...

    Nute burned a bud...

    Looks like Nute burn??? I've been using Kool Bloom powder for the last 2 weeks (1/8th tsp/gal each week). looks like one of the buds on a lower branch couldn't take it. Top colas look fine, they probably loved it, they've really been filling out over the last week. 2 weeks to go...I think I...

    Same plant different health

    Both are "The Chruch", about halfway through flowering. Same soil, same ferts, same care. The one on the right seems to be suffering from a bit of N-deficiency. I've been foilar feeding and adding a little extra N in the mix...not too concerned though...I know the energy is going into the bud...

    Concerned about my Himalaya Gold's

    Pictured on the left is the Church and on the right is the Himalaya Gold (ignore maple leaf in the background). Next pictures are closeups of both. The Church is way further along in bud production. The HG is supposed to be ready in around 3 weeks, but I can't see it filling out that quickly...

    Boken branch 4 weeks or so into flower - usable?

    Visiting my plot today, there were a few broken branches on a couple plants; thought I'd bring them home and dry them up. Do you think there is any usable THC in these buds yet?? My expectations are not high, just wondering if you think it's worth drying and vaporizing. This is either...

    Cable company knocked on the door...Help!

    So I set up my 600W MH/HPS a few days ago. Today the cable company knocks on my door to let me know they need to checkout my line coming into my house because they detected interference in the neighbourhood and isolated it to my property. I say no problem, have at it. I then pause and start to...

    Supplementing seedlings with natural light

    I'm currently growing seedlings 3-7 days old under T-5's, they're doing really well, the oldest (Arjans Haze) already has 8 leaves. I have the opportunity to use natural sunlight (when it's sunny) from time to time. Today is a good example, I have the blinds open while the seedlings are still...

    LED vs. LED

    Hi everyone. This is only my 3rd post, but i've been lurking for about 6 months. Of all the boards I've lurked on, I've chosen to start posting on this one...great site!!! I've read just about every LED thread on the internet, but most are super argumentative and circle around the same issues...
