    Switching crop outdoors in the middle of flowering

    Hi Rollitup. I grow in a converted garden shed, and I usually finish up indoor crops by the first day of summer because that’s when the heat starts here in LA. This year I am running late by a few weeks, and the last crop will likely not be done until mid-July at the earliest. I am thinking...

    Variegated leaf mutation or plant problem?

    One of the weirder things I've seen. Out of 4 plants (all Pineapple Kush from a clone shop) 3 small branches near the base of the plants exhibit this weird coloring, almost like it was a variegated variety. I let one branch grow a little to see what happened to it. As you can see, looks very...

    Photo: Ladybugs like spider mites

    So the white dots showed up last week in the 2nd week of flower. Can't see the little fuckers under the microscope, but I was pretty sure they're there, so I put a couple of hundred ladybugs into the room last night. I spread them out, figuring they would seek out and find the bad guys. Did...

    Spider mite outbreak at very end of flower (harvest tomorrow!)

    We are due to harvest tomorrow, and I just saw the telltale webs. I cut out the infected branches with webs, but I assume they're all over. It's my best crop yet and I don't want to lose it. Only 4 plants, and I cut out about 25% of one of them Is there any way to clean the webbed flowers? If...

    Tiny brown spots on mature flowering plant -- Ca deficiency?

    Pic attached. 1 of 4 plants, others seem unaffected so far. Plants are about a month short of harvest. Thought it was calcium deficiency, and gave a good dose in the next feeding, but it got worse overnight. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Trim fan leaves in SCROG?

    Hi, 2nd time SCROGer here, so I'm starting to get past the basics. I flipped the lights about 2 weeks ago. The stretch will be over in a few days and I'm going to stop tucking. Right now, there are larger fan leaves that are covering flowering nodes. Should I take these leaves off, or keep...

    Strain or method for very fast turnaround?

    Hi. I'm finishing up my first indoor grow in a few weeks, and I'm starting to plan the next one. Unfortunately, we have a poorly timed 2-week vacation in the late spring, and it looks like the schedule is going to be very tight if I want a harvest before we leave. I have 9 weeks between the...

    Flipped to flower too late on scrog

    Hi. Long time outdoor, first time indoor grower here. Beyond happy I made the switch. So much easier than fighting the weather every day. Things have been going ridiculously well, too well in fact. My plants vegged so fast that I wasn't really on top of it and made the rookie error of switching...

    Properly Ventilating a Climate-Controlled Grow Shed

    Hi. I'm in the process of building out a 7x7 shed into a grow room. I've decided to fully climate control it, which means insulation, A/C, heater, humidifier, dehumidifier and circulation fan. We intend to seal up all the seams so there's no light or air leakage. Given all this, I'm...

    Outdoor Grower Moving Indoors

    Hi. I've had a small outdoor grow in So Cal for several years with pretty good results until this year, which has mostly been disastrous. Six weeks of overcast skies followed by 100+ degree temps. Ouch. I'm looking to set up a small indoor grow so I'm not so dependent on a single crop a year...

    Advice on when to germinate for outdoor So Cal grow

    Previous years I have begun germinating on March 1 indoors and brought them outdoors somewhere around the first week of April. This year, however, I have a family obligation out of town from March 17-20 and I'm worried about leaving the plants for 4 days. Someone will be coming by twice a day...
