This is not true at all. If this was true then mites wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem as they are. Mite eggs do not necessarily hatch right away. They can linger for several weeks and wait for better conditions before hatching. This is a well documented fact. I used to have issues with...

A cat named Ken Estes introduced it around 2003, I think. I have grown it several times over the past dozen years or so. I'm currently growing a few clones of it, but what's going around right now is an IBL. It's not the original GDP that was common 10 or so years ago. I hope they're at least...

There are no dumb questions. Folks come here for help. STFU if you have nothing constructive to offer.

I use Foxfarm soil regularly and I suggest that anyone who uses it watch out for calcium deficiencies. It doesn't always happen with cannabis, but it does happen from time to time. Whatever you do don't grow a tomato plant in Foxfarm soil unless you mix in some lime at the time of planting. You...

I don't agree with using 10 gallon pots indoors. That's a lot more than you need unless you want to grow plants that are the size of small trees, and that's self defeating with an indoor grow. In my nearly 3 decades of growing (mostly indoor) I have found that 5 gallon pots are plenty for a...

It looks like a Pickleworm to me. Do you live in the southeast US? Try this website..... http://garden.org/learn/library/pests/

This was going to be my comment as well. No perlite in that type of mix means poor drainage. Also, I'm not impressed by the wood chunks. The mix looks like it needed a lot more time to break down.

Got it. My post was a typo. 1 cup per 5 gallons of 20-20-20 is still a little too much. Cannabis typically doesn't like heavy doses of nutes, although some strains have a higher tolerance than other. Again, I would also consider using a less balanced fertilizer. You will have a greater chance of...

Right away I see overfertilization. 1 cup of 20-20-20 per gallon of water twice a week is way too much with that concentration. Using a balanced fertilizer is also not a good idea. It's great for watermelons, but not so good for cannabis. In veg I use Age Old Grow. It's a 12-6-6 and I use 5-7...

Well, it's a product of living in an area (Nevada County, CA) where there is a lot of growing going on. Pretty much everyone I know around here has mites. Half of them lie about it and claim that they don't, but nearly all of them do. I kept getting mites because I was getting local clones that...

Cool, thanks. If I ever get mites again I'll give it a shot, but I doubt it will happen. I've had my fair share of experiences dealing with mites in the past. I'm so terrified of getting them again that I practice what I preached above. I have found this not to be the case at all. The problem...

Ah, hippie juice. Every other kind of hippie juice that I have tried or heard of all seem to be equally ineffective. I will ask around to see if anyone else I know has tried this method. Good on you if you have been able to get it to work 100%. From my experiences, the only two options that I...

Doesn't work on mites. Doesn't kill all of the mites and doesn't kill ANY of the eggs. You would think that it burns up all of the crawlers, but a few always seem to get away when a contact treatment is used. Doesn't work on mites. It doesn't even kill all of the crawlers. I've tried Neem in...

Yep, definitely stay with the 600W in a 4x4 tent. How much other stuff is running on that circuit? If the breaker is tripping when you try to fire up the 1000W don't try it again until you install a fuse that can handle the load. I also recommend building a 240 volt outlet if you're going to...

Also, if you move to a walk in closet you will need to put a lot of thought into a ventilation system. I'm assuming you're planning to run 1000W when you flower. Running that many watts in a closet is problematic. The only people who I have seen pull off that kind of setup used a glass heat...

Yeah, that light is waaaaaaaay too close and is cooking the top of the soil. I would move it up at least 2' from where it is in the picture. 400W is overkill for this stage of the grow, but if it's all you have then go with it and do everything in your power to acquire a blue spectrum bulb for...

It was probably a rat or some other vermin. Put a rat proof cage over them, or get them off the ground and put them somewhere safer.

Ah, heat issues. That's likely at least part of the problem here. Heat will stress out a plant and cause all sorts of unusual behavior. If the heat really gets to a plant it will never recover and will basically be a waste of space. The tall plant that you mentioned will be affected by the...

If light leak has been 100% ruled out you might have an issue with your light cycle. If you're dealing with a bunch of wildly different phenos of a Haze variety then 12/12 might be too much light for one or more of them. Dial the light back to 11/13 or even 10/14 and see what happens. The...

I have been using 5 gallon containers indoors for many years. I give them 1 gallon of water every time that I water. The potential hangup though is that the plants have different watering needs. A larger plant might need to be watered every other day during warm weather and low humidity, while a...
