    How much did you have to process to get this result? Was is dried first or fresh cut? It looks like a lovely result. I'll be doing a run shortly myself. If you're new to this watch Frenchy Cannoli's channel. One of the supposed foremost authorities. You can watch his full process from...

    Has anyone seen this before?

    Possible trifoliate but it looks to be growing out of it. You should be able to tell by now, 3 sets of leaves instead of 2 is a trifoliate. They look neat but I'm unsure if it's a positive trait or not.

    If it's easier to process, consider my mix a hybrid soil / hydro mix. I used 30 yr old jugs of hydroponic A&B nutrients formulated for rockwool for nutrients. I flushed it with water. I hope this clears up your confusion. It was a first for me and an unusual situation I'm sure. I started...

    Any suggestions for a good microscope for checking trichomes?

    ~$90 on ebay for microscope C-mount camera body, banggood, aliexpress... $30 for the cheapo lens. (spend more if you want good images) $15 for the magnetic base. I need working distance for hot tools between then lens and work surface, but if you put the lens up close with proper lighting you...

    I'm in soil (1/3 black earth, 1/3 peat mix, 1/3 turface (Baked clay coarse grit soil amendment used for my bonsai soil)) and yes I'm flushing the soil. I won't use this recipe again, but I like the added turface, it just improves drainage and buffers a little bit. The sun just came out, pics...

    I used a tablespoon of baking soda per gallon with just a couple drips of dish soap, I didn't get any leaf burn but it did turn the stigmas orange/brown a quicker. It seems fairly effective against the powdery mildew I was battling. It is not even spreading on the leaves that were already...

    Plant not revegging

    Just an update on my earlier post, I'm in the home stretch. I can harvest any day now but I'm just in a solid 6th week of flowering, I was expecting 8 weeks but the wind and rain and 10c night temps seems to have sped it along. These pics are 6 days old and when it was still looking OK. The...

    Help!! Is this a hermaphrodite

    Yes that is a male flower on a female plant. It looks open. When you remove it, examine it to see if it released any pollen.

    5000K to 6000K metal halide were standard for veg before leds. Leds at 5000K will outperform metal halide at the same temp outputting higher PAR and having a fuller (less spikey) spectrum. In short, they will be fine as long as it's bright enough.

    when should i start my flush process?

    Around 2 weeks in soil, a week in coco, a few days plain hydro. I'll be doing my last feed tomorrow in soil, shooting for the 2nd week of Oct. for harvest.

    Mold-Free, Thankful, & Lookin' for Good, Solid Advice...

    I sprayed with 1tbsp of baking soda in a gallon of water with a tiny bit of soap, safe to drink, actually good for an upset stomach... to suppress powdery mildew, I had a tiny amount on some lower leaves. I treated with BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis) a couple weeks ago. I saw 6 fresh eggs...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    These weren't here (Essex County, Ontario) yesterday. Sprayed with baking soda and water with soap to suppress some powdery mildew and noticed these on the top cola of my pineapple express.

    Ontario outdoor. Monster plant small buds???

    watch out, these weren't here yesterday... Treated with baking soda and water with a little soap and noticed these. I'm gonna go double check because now I see more than 4. These were on my pineapple express, its just a baby with a few colas and that's the main one. I also lost the last split...

    Looking good, mine started flowering ~17th of Aug in Essex County. I got the powdery mildew this last week, I'll be spraying with baking soda / water / soap, spraying with magnesium sulfate and when I harvest I'll be washing in peroxide/water before drying. Seeing gains daily, hoping to get to...

    I got the powdery mildew, gonna treat with baking soda and water sprays until harvest and magnesium sulfate sprays (until I flush) and then wash in water and peroxide solution before drying with fans and hanging. It just showed up for me and I'm trying to be optimistic. In week 6 now, looking...
