    Removing and Preventing Spider Mites

    well, technically you can still spray after the third week of flower for some sprays. the primary concern really isn't mold, it's because most sprays will affect the finished bud in a negative way as far as flavor, smell, and appearance. if you have a very bad infestation, you can use some...

    How Much Hash Do You Get From Bud

    in a perfect world this may be the case. nobody can actually quantify the amount of hash off of bud. some strains naturally have tall trichomes, which fall off the buds easy. some have shorter trichomes, and while they may have the same percentage of thc, will produce far less hash than a...

    Conflicting advice on trichs. Wondering if now is trhe time..

    well said... play around with it till you find the right harvest time FOR YOU. personally, i harvest when the top bud starts to turn amber. basically, for a more trippy head buzz harvest when they're milky-white, or for more of a body buzz harvest them when they turn amber. these are generic...

    Drying question for people from So. Cal. + rep

    so you don't want 1/8 of the nation's population to legalize? i think it will be beneficial to most people. yes, growers will suffer, and that sucks. at the same time, supporting prohibition or the flawed medical marijuana system is just ignorant. california was the first state to outlaw it, and...

    Can I Clone Everything?

    this is only true to a certain point. you can take cuttings of cannabis ruderalis (autoflowering strains), but once the plants genetic age reaches the strains flowering time, you won't be able to keep it from flowering. at the same time, you cannot clone a ruderalis strain (autoflowering) once...

    How Much Hash Do You Get From Bud

    i prefer dry-seived hash, and it will have the best flavor. my only advice is don't push too hard on the screen or you'll end up with a bunch of plant material and the hash won't stick together. made that mistake my first time. the silkscreen i got was $25 at a hobby shop

    HELP!!! My Ph just keeps goin up.

    my apologies to you. i was not argueing against you, more like medi1. no matter what i've done it's wrong in his eyes. i wish you luck with your garden. dwc is my method of choice, you can grow some sick-ass plants this way. you don't have to follow my method, but it's worked for me on every...

    flushing plants and catching the runoff

    i woulda said the same about $35 oz. haven't seen the buds myself, but i actually hear good things. it's a shame to hear that they will pay that little to the grower... that's a lotta work for a shit price. the reason you hear about $20/g is because the average price for the grower out here is...

    Removing and Preventing Spider Mites

    much agreed. not sure how much of the co2 actually makes it to the plant, but my girls do seem to love it. and when i can use a 64 cent bottle of seltzer water for 3 days, i can hardly see how 6.40 per month would come out to $400 per grow... this guy must not shop around much or not be...

    my aero cloner -- stem rot??

    the 30 min. off sounds a little scary. when my cloner worked the best i was using 1 min on and 4 min off. you may also consider adding an airstone to the cloner to help bring fresh air to the res. that's a little strange though that the algae can effect the seedlings but not the clones.

    Removing and Preventing Spider Mites

    i have heard many people having success with floramite. that being said, it does specify for ORNAMENTALS, and non-bearing fruit trees. it has not been thoroughly evaluated for common problems with pesticides, such as reproductive problems or disruption of endocrine. it is also only approved for...

    The last few days: flushing, harvesting, drying and curing your buds.

    if anybody says they weren't excited for their first crop, they're lying lol. i will say the more you do it the better the buds will be but congrats on your first grow and good look with round 2! hope this thread helps!

    flushing plants and catching the runoff

    well it is probably more overhead than running a shop, that's hard to deny. that being said, there's not as much money in medical as people think. maybe there used to be, but with over 1100 dispensaries in CO, there's lots of competition and price wars. on my block alone there's 3 dispensaries...

    HELP!!! My Ph just keeps goin up.

    when i see indisputable evidence, i'll change my opinion. regardless, you're saying my garden should be dead, or at minimum severely stressed out, yet they remain quite healthy, and have given me no problems, other than the occasional pest. if ph is so important with your nute brand, i'm sorry...

    flushing plants and catching the runoff

    you work for a nute company, or maybe you own it, but either way you wouldn't have the right to call med shops greedy. look at the marketing from nute companies. "you'll double your buds by using <insert any nute company here>!!! it's amazing new plant science!"

    HELP!!! My Ph just keeps goin up.

    clearly you've never used botanicare nutrients. perhaps my garden is some sort of scientific anomoly... as my plants should be dead and thc free, but yet they live and are ridiculous. according to traditional plant science, i shouldn't be able to create clones without dipping in gel or powder...

    flushing plants and catching the runoff

    here in CO there's Full Spectrum Labs, and they're fully capable of testing everything, including in it's liquid form rather than inaccurate gas testing. they are specifically for dispensaries to self-regulate their medicine, or for patients who would like some reassurance. they give percentages...

    HELP!!! My Ph just keeps goin up.

    did you soak the hydroton overnight in ph 5.8 water? and did you fill the bucket and allow the solution to sit overnight with the pump on? no matter what it will rise, but i only adjust mine each week at the solution change and it hits 6.5 by the time i need to change. could be your water, i use...

    flushing plants and catching the runoff

    lol light DEGRADES thc. and do you really think it needs all that light to produce those trichomes? compare samples from 1000w at finish, a 400w at finish, and a LED at finish. show me that you've got proof that science is wrong. till then, i've seen the results of my garden, so i don't have to...
