    Over Watering Vs Keeping The Soil Moist

    He can also get some shipping wrap and wrap all but the bottom like 3 inches and it would emulate a grassroots pot for the most part. But their pots are really nice, I definitely recommend them over normal fabric pots.

    Good Canna Channels to learn from?

    If you were smoking Colorado dispensary weed 8 years ago I can almost garauntee it was getting slammed with myclo.

    Why do people care about pinholes in tents?

    Yeah you gotta watch out when you play with the spectrum though, I have a buddy who invested a lot into his lights and he was playing with it for a while and turned his leaves into red leather one harvest. I definitely think there's merit to playing with the spectrum though so long as you...

    Why do people care about pinholes in tents?

    I'm sure some strains are more sensitive to light than others but what I've been growing for the last like 7ish years doesn't seem to really care that much. I went on vacation for a week and left my 60w led household lights on in front of the front door of the tent left open halfway and didn't...

    Over Watering Vs Keeping The Soil Moist

    Blumats, any drip irrigation system, handwater a little every day and try to stay around 10% of soil volume as water, if you're watering by hand and overwater in a pot you're probably fine--waterlogging a 4x8 bed is a little worse to deal with. Cover crop helps keep water in the soil and...

    My first attempt at a tea

    For sure every grow is different and you'll definitely get better over time, the only people that can fail are people who aren't willing to learn. Smaller pots can definitely work you just have to remix your soil every run and top dress a little more often, bigger pots lets you just reamend and...

    My first attempt at a tea

    It's probably not that bad but generally you don't want a bad smell at all coming from your tea. I was also always told to never use manures/guanos in teas because of the elevated risk of really bad things like e coli getting into the mix. Honestly I rarely brew teas ever anymore and only use it...

    My first attempt at a tea

    The only thing that scares me is you say it smells like it should be in the bathroom. The nose knows usually in the case of teas, bad teas smell like shit. Good teas smell like earth/mushrooms. At least that's how it was always explained to me and it's the rule of thumb I've always followed.

    Need Help Deciding Which Light To Buy

    Hlgs are definitely super nice if you're looking to spend that kind of money. I don't use spider farmer but both my parents and my cousin grow with them and have no issues I've seen. Just remember you're usually paying more for having customer service that's actually worth a shit if something is...

    Organic grow bud issues. Triangle haze kush and lemon lime

    I assume by char you mean biochar? If you used raw biochar and didn't charge it before adding it to your mix that may explain your early nitrogen deficiency as it was balancing your c:n ratio and taking nitrogen from your soil. Keeping up on water is really important growing organically as you...

    Exotics, PGRS, Foilars, "snake oil"

    No problem, it's hard to treat cannabis like most other ag crops imo. Corn you're only going to get so much per ear no matter the quality. Cannabis is definitely more si.ilar to wine grapes in that the secondary metabolites are your real breadwinners, the price point difference for quality is...

    Exotics, PGRS, Foilars, "snake oil"

    I definitely would second never using paclo for cannabis, I hopped on the train about 7 or 8 years ago with my buddy and it nuked both of our flavors and aromas to a super generic weed taste, the yields were nuts though I've never even come close to the numbers I was hitting then. After a...

    What nutrient burn is this?

    Had to do this a couple times over the past 10 years. Always hurts to do it but you're actually destroying a lot of bad organic matter and putting oxygen into your root system, my plants always did fine afterwards. A lot of people used to run hydrogen peroxide in their cloners and even hydro...

    First time grower

    2+ plants per pot unless you're in like 100 gallons or a bed is going to cause issues. Either try to repot one to a pot or just kill off the weakest one in each pot depending on how you feel about wasting seeds. My biggest tip is that less is going to be more in 90% of cases while growing...

    Does anybody know how trichomes are formed?

    There are several different types of trichomes each with their own purpose and secondary metabolites afaik. Frenchy cannoli gave a lot of good information about their structure and growth specifically for hashmaking but it's very enlightening, he has a very thick accent and can be hard to...

    Mycorrhizal Inoculant

    You want to get myco actually on your roots in most cases, it takes a long time to establish itself in your soil and it requires a root to be present to even start the process, also if they touch your root if there are any endophytic fungal strains they could possibly migrate into the root for...

    worm collecting

    As long as they're composting worms you should be good, nightcrawlers are more for aeration than composting. Chicken feed is considered part of a "fattening" diet for breeding worms so that combined with the manure explains the population growth (and soil fertility)

    Do some cultivars prefer synthetic nutes?

    While I agree you're right that a plant doesn't necessarily care that it gets salt or organic npk, but that article also says there is no difference in nutrient density between the two plants and that has been studied and proven that organic products are typically higher in some nutrients and...

    Do some cultivars prefer synthetic nutes?

    I'm not really sure of any of the science behind it or why it happened, but it took probably 2 full cycles to have a friend's strain really take off in my garden. He's been hydro and feeding salts for years and I swapped to organic around 8 years ago now. I suspect that having grown with...

    The Compost Tumbler Thread

    Do you have much experience with composting the guinea pig manure/bedding? I have 6 myself and was considering starting to use theirs in a small compost bin to feed my worms after the thermophilic phase since their digestive tract and diet is essentially the same as a rabbit, but I've never...
