I've been growing in my basement for a few years now and am pretty good at it with good yields and no real problems. I don't know how the guys in humboldt county get by without problems but I've seen nothing but pest problems as soon as my girls were old enough to have problems. I have 3 plants...

Is it too late to cover up my girls with bug netting? I've got 3 girls at different stages of flowering. No real issues, I actively monitor and remove any suspect foliage but don't want to be surprised by some flower hungery larva.

I've tried googling and cannot come up with solid answer on what size fabric pots I should buy. My plan is 2 plants (Ghost Train and Green Crack) outdoors. Seeds are germinated, just going to give them a couple more weeks (by early/mid June) to transplant them. Sticking with hydroponics but...

I grow in my basement in the late fall and winter and the humidity is typically low 20-30% RH. Prior to my youtube knowledge of VPD, one strain on my first grow didn't go well because I maintained relatively high nutrient ppm (900 IIRC). I clipped a leaf off and brought it to my hydro store...

Just received this bulb a few minutes ago. Does this look new? I don't remember what my current bulb looked like new but I wasn't expecting the reddish tinge. TIA

I've got 3 grows on my 600W Xtrasun HPS and MH bulbs and it might be time to change them out. Is about 3-4 grows the lifespan of bulbs? Bought them at the local grow store for $60 each. Sadly my 2 local stores in the Boston area closed; I guess it's hard to compete with Amazon or maybe the...

I'm still a new grower. I've got maybe 5 grows using my cheapo 2x4 tent with a 600 watt pendant. Typically I grow 2 plants at once; tried 4 plants but the tent got too crowded. I think I'm wasting watts though and want to be more efficient (read more plants per grow and per watt). If I go to a...

Looking to buy Graddaddy Purple feminized seeds. Scanning the webs, I see prices ranging from $7/seed all the way up to $50/seed for small quantities. Am I missing something? Is there a difference between $7 seed and a $50 seed?

This is my 3rd grow (read newb). Last year I grew 3 strains at once( AK, bubblegum, and Sour Diesel). Harvested and hanged them for a week and then into mason jars. no problems. This year I did this same thing (1 week hanging and then into the jar). The strain is Northern Light. While I'm...

I'm growing two strains (2 plants, AK47 and Northern Lights) right now in my 2'x4'x7' tent. I'm on week two of flower, The Northern Lights is doing fine; the AK47 is doing crappy. They're on a common recirculating sump with bubble buckets. 3 buckets; 1 of the buckets is a control bucket that...

As a kid my cannabis consumption was limited by my budget. Now that I'm a bit older, weed is now legal, and I'm growing my own, it seems like the constraint is not my wallet anymore. It should be a limitless supply. I'm expecting about a pound from my first grow. How long does a pound of weed...

With DLS over the weekend. I mucked up my timer so the lights never came on this morning. Would there be any ill-effects after leaving them dark for nearly a day in week 3 of flower?

I'm a new grower on week 4 of veg using bubbleponics. After a rocky start (cold temps, crappy pruning, etc), it looks like I'm going in for another 4 weeks of veg. I've been following the schedule for general hydroponics duo blend. To extend the schedule, Ive doubled week 2 and will be doubling...

After topping last week, I was attempting to tie the colas down as in nugbuckets mainline tutorial and one of the colas split at the main trunk. Gadamit. My learning is: it looks like you need to bend the stem while supporting the node Oh well, total newb mistake... At least now, all the plants...

I'm growing in a 2x4 tent. When the lights are on the temperature stays at about 73°F +/- When the lights turn off the temps drop to the low 50s upper 40s°F I have a heater that runs at 600W or I could keep the lights on all the time. Is there any detriment to running the lights all the time...

After a bit of a learning curve with pH, nutes, and lighting, I think things are going OK now. The 2 strains in front are bubblegum, back left is sour diesel, and back right is AK47. From an age perspective, the left BG is the oldest by 2 weeks, following by one week is the sour diesel and AK...

I have my tent set up in the basement where it can get to the upper 40s. This is my first grow and I'm growing with bubble buckets. I'm using aquarium heaters set at 66°F but the tent itself is staying at about 60° with the lights and vent fan on. Is this too cold? Is it required that I vent the...

I'm a new grower and I've been using RO water. When I'm growing vegetables in my backyard they're fine with water out of the tap. Are there any benefits to leaving the dissolved solids in the water? My thought is that there has to be some elements from mt local MWRA water supply that my plants...

I've moved my seedlings over to a bubble hydroponics system. The first couple of days were spent trying to maintain pH. I think I've got the process nailed down now. I set the pH at 5.4 every night and it climbs to 6.4 until the next check. Now it's been about a week and I'm still not seeing any...

Hi All, new here and new to growing anything. I just finished setting up my light and vent in my 28x54x78" tent. While I still have 2-3 weeks until anything gets added and it's still easily changeable (I don't purport to know what I'm doing) please critique my setup. 600W 10000K for veg. 600W...
