    How much light is too much light outdoors, in terms of night cycle?

    I just want to be prepared for Autumn, so I was wondering if these decorative lights, for instance, is enough to upset the night cycle? None of them are near the cannabis plant, but they're within a few feet/meters of the plant.

    The saddest plant I've ever seen, will it recover?

    Frisian dew that was put outside as early as possible. It should allegedly be able to tolerate the current temperatures (Close to freezing at night) so I hope it's just stunted and unhappy temporarily. I have a few backup plants growing indoors that will replace this one if it doesn't recover...

    How often should you exchange all the air in your grow room?

    I'm not asking for personal opinions so much, I'm more asking if there's like a clear scientific consensus. I keep hearing people say "Every 5 minutes" or "Every 3 minutes" or even "Every 1 minute" But in reality, there has to be a "correct" answer, right? Maybe some literature someone can...

    When can I put my plant outside and avoid flowering? (14 hours of daylight?)

    I keep seeing conflicting information and every single thread I find about the topic has different information, I was hoping someone could help me get closer to some facts so I know how soon I can put my plant outdoors. All the reading and videos I've watched on the topic lead me to, a minimum...

    Minor spots and slight edge discoloration

    I realize these are very minor symptoms and likely not even anything to worry about, I'm just trying to catch a potential issue early. Just in case. I've been acclimating the plant to go outdoors soon, so it has been outside a lot the last week. I suspect the spots are just random sucker insect...

    How well do the Ikea Carbon Filters work for cannabis?

    Just thought I'd see if anyone have experience with this line of products: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/search/?q=NYTTIG I attached a photo of one of the options, but there are many different ones.

    Is this a successful topping?

    Hope the picture is okay. I haven't topped cannabis in almost a decade so I just want to be sure I didn't rush things before the stem had time to extend.

    What kind of dimmer to get?

    Sorry this is probably a stupid question, but I've bought a dimmer before and it didn't work as intended. So I was wondering if there's a specific kind you should be getting for your grow lights? I have a Northern grow lights Photon 180w LED and it has a dimmer on the side but it doesn't seem...

    For how long can you 'start' seeds indoors prior to spring without lights?

    Bit of a newbie question so I assume it belongs here. For how long is a windowsill sufficient for starting a cannabis plant, a week? two weeks? I want to get a head start before spring but I don't want to set up and unpack my 200w LED, I don't have a space for it and I don't have a tent or a...

    Is Terra Aquatica Bloom identical to Maxibloom?

    I've found conflicting information and I've had a hard time finding concrete ingredients in the TA Drypart Bloom VS Maxibloom. According to https://www.aquagardening.com.au/brands/general-hydroponics-terra-aquatica TA is the same as GH, same ingredients etc. But I can't seem to find an...

    First auto harvest outdoors - Any input?

    Gorilla glue auto, grown outdoors. Harvested today, trimmed, and bathed in some hydrogen peroxide solution followed by water, not a huge harvest by any means but enough for my casual consumption. Is the drying room okay? It's a furnace room, so it's 24C / 75F and 50% humidity. I think the...

    Status check, how close am I?

    Gorilla glue auto in coco/perlite, fed with Ph perfect by Advanced Nutrients. It's outdoors, it had some issues with thrips, but I think I mostly got rid of them. The fan leaves have slowly started looking bad, but it has been happening so slowly that I don't even know what the issue might be...

    Black/purple spots on leaves, brown spots as well

    Sorry for the almost weekly questions, but I just want to be sure the plant is doing okay. How is it looking? Some of the growth at the canopy is turning purple/black and as you can see some of the smaller leaves by the buds are turning brown or dying off partially. It's grown outdoors in...

    Burnt tips and spots on leaves

    Some of the spots are from old thrip damage. I'm not sure if all the spots are old or not. I've sprayed the plant a few times with some pyrethrum extract so I'm honestly not sure what bug might be eating of it or how to deal with it. The tips could be a nutrient issue. Not sure which. I'm...

    Is it possible to grow weed with only 1 fertilizer throughout the grow?

    I know the reason you use more than one, is that the needs in veg is different from the needs in flower. But is there any way to simplify the fertilization? Like what harm does it do if you use flower nutes in veg? What harm does it do if you use veg nutes in bloom? Can't you use some kind...

    Where can I hang my weed to dry?

    100% a noob question, I know. But I can't do it in my house. I have a small hangar that isn't insulated, it also has a room with a furnace that might be the right temperature, but there are a million spiders out there. Could I do it in a little grow tent outdoors or will it be too cold...

    How far along is it roughly? I made the mistake of not counting days.

    I have no idea when I planted it or when it switched to flower. Any approximations? Not entirely sure what caused some of the leaves to look bad. I did have thrips earlier in the process and used a bad fertilizer.

    A mix of smaller symptoms on leaves

    Plant feels healthy overall but would still just like some opinions in case it's something critical. It had thrip damage in veg, which might account for some of the spots. It's a gorilla glue auto, grown outdoors in coco/perlite, feeding daily with Advanced Nutrients Perfect Ph (Micro,grow...

    Miscoloration on tips of some of the older leaves

    Just noticed this and thought I'd ask how worried I should be. I had a thrip infection a few weeks ago that I dealt with, but I think the thrips are the reason for the spots in random places, not the tips. (Correct me if I'm wrong) I've attached two pictures of older leaves with discolored...
