    When autos get stressed and pistils prematurely brown do they recover or new growth ?

    I won’t be buying auto flower seeds anymore. I can see where auto flowers have their place in the home grown cannabis market, but for me they are kind of a waste of time an effort. I can even see an outdoor grower like me running autos, but I like to grow 3 or 4 females to harvest during my...

    73% Of Capitol Hill Aides Believe GOP Will Take Back House in 2022

    Both houses are definitely up for grabs in 22 not to mention what will happen at the state and local level. The steal is most definitely on but it’s taking place under the guise of voting restrictions and other forms of citizen disenfranchisement. Currently the republicans are the ones promoting...

    Why Are Globalists and Governments so Desperate for 100% Vaccination Rates?

    The delta variant is changing things. Talk to actual medical professionals in your area and ask them. This surge in infections is only effecting the unvaccinated.

    Indica Vs Sativa High - Is it really a thing?

    you make a compelling argument for this, and I don’t disagree, but this doesn’t fit my experience. I started smoking cannabis back in the mid 80’s. Back then the terms indica an sativa weren’t used (at least not where I was at). High Times was talking about those distinctions but the big thing...

    Indica Vs Sativa High - Is it really a thing?

    Living in a prohibition state like I do I’ve never had the opportunity to sample a range of various “types” of cannabis. Today there is way more of a selection available on the black market than ever before but that selection is still always limited. So this alone may somewhat explain my belief...

    Looking for advice on how to grow a pound of white widow in a 5 gal bucket. Great soil promix with wood ash from the forest and cow manure mixed.

    If you’re going to stick with the 5 gallon bucket I’d just grow more plants in more buckets rather than try and get it all from one plant. Depending on your lighting set up 4 or 6 buckets each with a plant won’t be anymore work and you’ll be much more likely to hit your yield goals.

    The TNT Trans Thread

    Personally I don’t have a problem with the LGBTQ movements. I’m not saying I fully understand it all and I do have a problem with the idea of young children being burdened with the notion of their sexuality. That being said I miss the days when all of this was covered by just saying you were...

    If you wanna test ur plant early, this the way!

    I always get annoyed when people make such a big deal about chopping too early or the automatic answer “2 more weeks”. I’ve grown bud that was plenty potent mid way through flowering and I’ve likewise had plants that at the same point in flowering had zero potency. In my experience indicas start...

    Another rant on early flower outside

    Typically speaking in the US any mature plant (meaning it’s been growing from seed for about 6weeks or more) will start flowering if you put it outside before the middle of May. Plenty of people put plants outside earlier than mid-May but they will also shine a light on those plants for a few...

    Using urea to toxify cannabis

    first thing I’d do is go to the police and get them involved. Tell them how you are growing meds for sick people. While the police can’t do much they can put your neighborhood on overnight patrols. Put a motion activated trail cam on your grow. That way if they do come in you’ll have pictures to...

    Zone 8b Bubba Kush?

    If possible grow in the ground. Plants in the ground handle the heat way better in my experience. I’m around 33 degrees north and in summer we can go weeks in the triple digits and I’ve never had a problem with heat stress. I too grow indica dominant strains because I am more comfortable with...

    I’m going back to basic grow with minimal effort

    To the OP. Go back to you original method but upgrade those 3 gallon pots for 10 gallon an your yield should improve dramatically.

    What do you care about? What actually matter about your weed to you that makes it great?

    In all my years of smoking I’ve never noticed any difference in strains or type (indica versus sativa), but what I do notice is it’s strength/potency and how it tastes and smokes. So when I grow I want a strain that has a high thc level. I’m not a heavy smoker. A gram is more than enough to last...

    amount of soil for 3 month veg

    The spot I use is in the middle of a patio and was originally an in ground fountain. It’s probably 7’ in diameter an 1.5’ deep. I’ve had 5 indicas in it before With minimal crowding issues. I’ve run 2 big sativas there too but they filled up the space pretty good. Still those numbers seemed to...

    amount of soil for 3 month veg

    I’d say a decent amount of soil to grow an outdoor plant to maximum size would be 100 gallons. Bigger is better but 100 gallons of quality soil in a spot that receives full sun all day can easily produce a massive cannabis plant. Of course the size that a plant can grow to depends on genetics...

    Why does it feel good to fight with people on the internet?

    I’ve been online since the early 90’s and during that time I’ve figured out that arguing with someone about anything is pointless. I believe the people who engage in online arguments do so because it strokes their own ego. Kind of an adversarial based confirmation bias.

    Max yield from a 600w hps

    Best post in the thread right here. you really can’t compare someone using multiple 600wHPS and their yield to someone trying to replicate that yield with a single light. Yes the multiple fixture grow will account for greater yield per light but that’s because the plants (or plant) is...

    How tight to trim?

    Basically any big leaves that are left on a bud that I don’t want to smoke I’ll peal off as I’m prepping it to smoke.

    How tight to trim?

    I go with a very loose trim like that but I only grow for myself so I don’t have to worry about bag appeal.

    What to do with waste??

    Where I live we have weekly trash pickup service that also includes yard waste. Being paranoid about discovery I instead buried in my yard all waste from my grow. Not that the trash guys are going through your yard trash I still felt more comfortable disposing of it in a way that doesn’t...
