Walked out this morning in the SF Bay Area to find my plants covered in a significant layer of ash from the California fires. The buds look like pastry that has been dusted with powdered sugar and they are far too sticky now to shake it off. Any coming back from this? What can we do to salvage...

I've always been a K.I.S.S. kind of guy and often, when I read this forum I worry that a lot of people get confused and discouraged by the amount of information thrown at them. Much of the info is unnecessary, and some of it is incorrect so thought I'd report on my simple method to let the new...

This thing is supposed to be a pretty heavy indica, but the one seed I got produced something that looks more sativa. Just wondering if anyone has had this pheno, and what you thought of it. Looks like it could be fire, so I'm hoping for a good one.

Moved.

I work in a garden center in the greater SF Bay Area and I've been given the go-ahead to bring in a selection of products geared toward the beginning and "hobby" cannabis growers. No hydro gear, and probably no lighting other than T5s or maybe lower-end LED. Now that we are legal for...

Outdoor grow in SF Bay Area. Just found two tiny beetle-like critters in the pistils of my Blue Dream buds. I didn't have time for a full inspection, so hoping they aren't too widespread at this point. I know the pic is not great, but all I could do. They are about 2-3 mm long, six legs, wings...

Pot in a Pot

First year trying fabric and just moved from 1 to 3 gallons to beef up a bit before going into the big pots. Just a quick note to say that these things absolutely work as advertised, and anyone considering using them should not hesitate. I have no circling or crowding of the roots at all, and...

Was just tending my two little autos and a thought came to mind. I can get a pack of 30 tomato seeds and when grown out, can expect 30 very similar plants. As we well know, this is certainly not the case with cannabis. Is this simply because we haven't had the same long history of improved...

I just popped the seeds for my real grow earlier in the week, but this is my project plant, a 5+ week old Blueberry X Lemon Kush. Just running this one to do some experimenting with care and technique. I've topped it twice and have its four main stems going well now and plan to supercrop it. My...

All, just checked a few samples from my OG Kush plants and although it seems pretty early to me, about 70% of the trichomes are showing cloudiness with a handful showing amber. We've had a crazy-hot and dry season (Tri-Valley area east of San Francisco) so maybe that pushed them to finish a...

Just read yet another caution here that wetting your plants in the daylight will cause leaf burn because the drops act like little magnifying glasses. I'm an avid gardener and have been using various forums as long as they've been around and this one just keeps coming up. It doesn't happen...

My needs are fairly simple, I think. I'm looking to buy a setup that will allow me to do two things: 1. Start and veg seedlings for about 4-5 weeks before moving outside, and 2. Veg clones for about 4 weeks until I can move them out without initiating flowering. I plan to use no more space than...

I grow two or three big girls outdoors every year and get more medicine than I need from those, but this year I thought I'd play around a little and decided to try my hand at autos for the first time. My plan was to basically do no more than what I considered the bare minimum and see what they...

After growing cannabis outdoors for eight years, for the first time I decided to play around with autos while the big girls are growing out. I purchased Red Dwarf seeds and germinated them more than eleven weeks ago. These too, are growing outdoors and the plants look very healthy with good...

I brought home a small, weak Chemdawg clone from a dispensary last week because it was the only one left and they cut the price to next-to-nothing to get rid of it. For a few dollars I figured it was worth having a go. It was very thin, with roots just barely peeking out of the plug but the...
