    What nutrients to get.

    My experience has been that just about anything with the right amount of nitrogen works fine in vegetative. I use the organic kind so I don't have to worry as much about over feeding. In flowering I use Foxfarm Tiger Bloom plus I add magnesium. Since I raise earthworms, I use worm castings...

    I have questions on my room! Please help

    If it was me and the cost was reasonable, I would definitely go with an additional breaker box. I guess that would involve running a new big electrical wire. I couldn't do that myself but you may be able to. Personally, I hate to be constantly worried about overloading a circuit. Also, I don't...

    Help me please

    I am no expert but when I have had seedlings look like that it has been that the room was too cold, the PH of the water has been too alkaline or the soil had nitrogen added to it. The pictures don't look like too much nitrogen. The PH of water is almost always o.k. The temperature of the room is...

    Should I harvest

    I have had that happen before. I have never found the amber trichome to be all that reliable. With a plant that old my criteria is to harvest it when I can't see changes at all from one day to the next. If that was mine, I would harvest it. I am not an expert, just a trial and error guy.

    Dead Leaves in Flowering

    All I am looking for are experiences average growers have. What I need to know is on average, how many leaves die during flowering? If that question cannot be answered, I am good with that but that is what I am trying to determine.

    Dead Leaves in Flowering

    Thanks. As odd as it might seem I don't have a way to take pictures right now. Your comment is helpful because that is the way it appears to me. "Natural die" is the key. I am curious as to what others consider natural die. I am basically satisfied with yield and quantity. I am always slow to...

    Dead Leaves in Flowering

    I had a PH issue last fall and started adding some peat moss to my soil. That seems to keep the PH at around 6.5. You see, I am not sure how much a problem dead leaves during flowering actually is. The last harvest I had turned out to be one of the better ones and there were lots of dead leaves...

    Dead Leaves in Flowering

    I am not looking for advice quite yet since my grows are turning out satisfactory. I am interested in knowing the degree to which leaves die off in flowering is some other's grows. I do get quite a few dead leaves, especially in the last 2 to 3 weeks before harvest. Has anyone gained anything...

    What is THE strain to grow right now from seed?

    I am just now starting to harvest some Flamin Alien and and Midnight Fantasy F2 from the DC Exchange. Both of these are substitutes for Grandaddy Purple, which I have not been able to actually find anywhere. The Midnight Fantasy F2 is extraordinary. I have not yet harvested a Flamin Alien plant...

    The Role of Earthworms

    I use the stack bins myself. It is the only way I know of to harvest the castings without it being a huge hassle. I may be lucky. I have never gotten fungus or gnats.

    The Role of Earthworms

    I started raising earthworms in my grow room a while back. Mostly this was because the worm bins absorb a lot of the smell. The bins themselves smell kind of earthy but don't stink at all. The worms love cannabis leaves also so there is no need to discard anything. Soak culled male plants...

    Are Weed Sellers Ripping People Off?

    I don't know what your set up is. I do get a feel for your situation. My approach is to just keep growing and grow a lot, but that is an option I have. Some people can only grow small amounts because they live in apartments. I won't even consider buying the stuff. What you grow is your own...

    Gov. Polis ruined Colorado.

    I can tell you. Regardless of the oath you take, as a juror, you can vote any way you see fit. The jury system, while admittedly not 100% flawless, is the only democratic institution that has functioned halfway as intended throughout history. Where oaths are concerned, I don't respect them when...

    Gov. Polis ruined Colorado.

    That is one disadvantage to Texas for sure. What I do here is in fact a lonely sport. I don't know much about the laws in Oregon. When it is legal here and it will be, I am working to minimize the regulation. My opposition to over regulation goes way passed cannabis. Texas is a crazy place...

    Gov. Polis ruined Colorado.

    I appreciate you posting that. Hey, I am a lifelong political activist. I saved those pictures and am making good use of them elsewhere. My taking infused oil is my preference and that is about it. I like it because it has additional health benefits, without the loss of the high. Years ago...

    Gov. Polis ruined Colorado.

    You said I am a self isolationist. You also said that I wanted it to remain illegal in Texas. You also said I am living alone. All I said is that it never leaves the house. My preference is that illegal is better than the kind of "legal" it is in Colorado. Is it really legal in Colorado...

    Gov. Polis ruined Colorado.

    Most people already live in a prison within their own minds, I will be free where ever I am. So, folks in Colorado have it better than folks in Texas? I will watch Colorado. So, its great. Lets see what it morphs into. Then we can decide. There is not a state in the country where people who grow...

    Gov. Polis ruined Colorado.

    We live in Texas, perhaps the least friendly cannabis state in the country. I don't want it legal here. I don't sell it either. If you grow at home, never let it leave your property and tell no one, nobody bothers you. Regulation is worse than legalization. Using cannabis is safer, much safer...

    Has Anyone Tried These Strains?

    Any thought or comments on these strains will be appreciated. 1.) Midnight Fantasy (Farmhouse Genetics) 2.) Flamin Alien (Cabin Fevor) This is the first time in five years I have tried new seed. These are getting close to harvest. Just getting a handle on what to expect.

    Texas

    A lot of folks who grow in Texas have started just throwing their surplus seeds out of their car windows when they pass an open field. Some folks shoot them out of their windows with pea shooters. That isn't making it legal but it sure will make it available. A few are having helium balloon...
