    Help! Stalk split!!!!

    I use zip ties...tape, garden string, just about anything that will hold it together. The plant stalk will grow over it eventually if you don't take it off.

    brown spots on leaves

    You sure that it isn't mites? Ladybugs keep most small insects under control.

    Hit me with your best shot!

    Your buds will need light in order to grow. This is why you get "popcorn" buds, they are all inside/at the bottom of the stem where there isn't so much light. Trimming the lower/smaller limbs and leaves will allow more airflow, thus less chance of mold/mildew which can ruin your bud. Just don't...

    Placing the seed directly in the final pot outdoor

    You do You do realize that Cannabis grows in some really hot climates, such as Afghanistan, Morocco, and some other really hot places. I think the thing is to choose your plants well.

    First outdoor grow

    Gotta agree with CJ. I think that ideally you can get the best results from "super soil". It's "organic gardening " really. If you have the right mixture, your plants will be more resistant to pests and disease as well. Then all you have to do is water, trim/train, and harvest. This time I...

    Placing the seed directly in the final pot outdoor

    Buon Giorno! You are at about the same latitude as me, Afghanistan, Spain, etc. right? Are you inland or coastal?(humidity difference). I am DEEP inland and have humidity to deal with.

    Placing the seed directly in the final pot outdoor

    You are right that autoflower plants should NOT BE transplanted too much. However your climate /temperature is not optimal, so some shade is probably called for. I have just started playing around with autoflowers myself and I am growing indoors with them for the first time. Container size is...

    First outdoor grow

    I have grown outside only for 2 seasons prior to this one. One thing that I have found, is that the size/quality of your plants is determined by the space that your roots have. I don't use the 5 gallon containers anymore. Just too small to grow a big bush in. I have started using 30 gallon pots...

    my plant

    I've got to agree. Some people learn best by doing, not reading or watching videos. My only advice is to keep a grow journal if you are going to experiment. Another thing is that I think that it is better to under water than overwater your plants. Just don't let the leaves droop too much, and...

    my plant

    Personally I wouldn't veg and bloom using the same light, unless they were autoflower and I didn't need a big harvest, then it wouldn't matter. More light for sure and maybe even a white LED bulb for the green wavelengths. JMO

    Do I need to transplant before Flowering?

    Transplant them. I grow outside and I use 30 gallon containers (pots and grow bags) and at the end of the season the rootball almost fills the container. I can grab the stem and pick up dirt and all out of the pot. My theory is feed the soil, grow the roots, prune the plant , get rid of pests...

    feminized seeds

    The seeds will be feminized unless you had a male plant.(it takes a male to give out the gene to make a seed a possible male. If you have a female hermie, the seeds would only receive female genetics)Will they hermie? Any female plants will hermie given the right conditions, although I believe...
