    (SoCal) Growing a 16 weeker now, would it get kicked out of flower come May?

    In order to get them to finish that early you’ll probably have to work up a form of light deprivation so that they won’t reveg.

    Prevent backyard theft

    When I grow in my backyard I rely on a 6’ privacy fence, pad locked gates, a couple of big dogs, and posted beware of dog signs. But mainly I rely on stealth. No one knows I’m growing anything in my backyard beyond a standard garden. My spot for cannabis is in a spot that can not be seen from...

    Looking for grow friendly landlord in MI

    Old post but relevant. Kudos to the OP for asking potential landlords first if they’ll allow you to grow. I’d think as a renter your best bet will be to rent a house rather than an apartment. A house might have an unfinished basement or garage you can use. I can understand a landlord objecting...

    Thoughts on Indoor vs Outdoor Quality

    I’ve never been able to yield indoors what I can outdoors and I would say this is easily true for most people, but you see pics of indoor plants that have been manicured and trained (tortured really) to the point where they are multi pound producers. If someone knows what they are doing and has...

    Thoughts on Indoor vs Outdoor Quality

    indoor can get those kind of big yields too, but you have to know what you are doing. Given adequate skill level and a big enough budget you can replicate perfect grow conditions for your crop from start to finish. You can’t do that outdoors. Even a greenhouse is subjected to those natural...

    Thoughts on Indoor vs Outdoor Quality

    Indoor versus outdoor will always be debated. The biggest difference I see between the two options is cost. Outdoor is always going to be cheaper to run. Outdoor your light costs are zero. Zero electricity, zero up front costs and zero maintenance costs. No matter how you set up an indoor grow...

    People have big mouths, loose lips sink ships

    Repeat growers in illegal states follow the tell no one mentality. I go so far as to change up what I do with every run and I always take a year or two off between grows. What I’m seeing now is that even in illegal states there are cities and areas that are much more tolerant towards possession...

    Thief protection

    Outdoor growers have to maintaining a secure grow location but should also keep it stealthy and hidden. For the home grower this means you should not be able to see your grow or plants from outside your yard. The OP’s plants are way taller than the privacy fence so I have to wonder if the...

    Flowering Late in Season

    This is the problem. Once the sun goes down you want those plants to be as dark as possible. Yes they are able to withstand the light of a full moon, but that’s it. Turning on an outdoor light (like the one you have on in the pic you posted) that shines directly or even indirectly on your plants...

    QUICK DRY FOR THE SIMPLE

    Quick drying a sample bud is never optimal, but there are times when you might want to do so. For me I use a toaster/oven and turn it on to about 175-200 Fahrenheit and let it sit in there till it’s dry enough to smoke.

    Flowering Late in Season

    Sativas always go late, but by now should be pretty far along in being covered with bud sites. You could be getting additional light through that window that is keeping that plant from flowering?

    Wet or dry?

    Everyone pretty much agrees that trimming while wet is easier than if you wait till it’s dry. You can even go so far as doing your trimming before you chop the plant down. As said when wet all the leaves stick straight out from the plant and this makes it much easier to trim away everything...

    Help plant is sick

    Check the surrounding soil for moles or other small burrowing animal (look for raised burrows on the surface from where it’s been tunneling around). I’ve heard of them causing issues like this too.

    Stand your ground

    I’m guessing you’ve never experienced a natural gas leak or had a bad storm knock out power lines or other utilities that cross over or under your property. Hell a gas leak can cause entire neighborhoods to be evacuated, and if the utility workers think the problem could be on your property they...

    stealth growing?

    Grow other plants along with and beside or around your cannabis plants. For me stealth growing is about blending your grow into the surrounding environment so that it doesn’t stand out.

    Stand your ground

    I live in a prohibition state and the tax accessors office is always monitoring neighborhood and property valuations. They will occasionally come to your door and inform you that they are looking around and even ask to come inside. If you aren’t home they obviously don’t come inside and if you...

    Can you use BT during flower ?

    Outdoors I spray BT right up till almost the end. I try not to spray them the final 2 weeks. If for some reason they were sprayed an I want to chop them and it hasn’t rained on them since I sprayed them with BT I’ll wash the chopped plants with water and then hang to dry. I’ve never noticed...

    I'm spending a fortune trying to save money growing weed

    Cheapest way to grow cannabis is outdoors. Of course you get what you pay for so growing outdoors comes with a lot of risks that growing indoors is designed to mitigate or minimize. If you can deal with the risks that come with growing outdoors you can easily produce pounds of quality bud for...

    Stray dogs destroying my crop

    Having a dog in heat in your yard where you are also trying to grow is going to be a problem. This seems to the the real source of your problem. Get her spayed or when she goes in heat keep her somewhere else. I’m all for protecting your property and animals even up to the point of killing...
