    Trimming up Sativa today!

    Panama Haze from Ace Seed. This is about as pure a sativa as I’ve ever grown. Buds are loose with delicate haze foxtailing. Remember when all weed looked like this? Not a lot of bag appeal unless you know what you’re looking at.

    pH drifting downward in a fertilizer reservoir.

    I started running into CalMg problems on this last run Which I attribute to low pH. This is in soil. I started mixing up 10 gallons of fertilizer solution in a reservoir with an air stone in it to keep it from getting stagnant. After mixing the fertilizers I adjust the pH to 6.7. What I’m...

    Weird Pistils and fasciation. Should I prune it or not?

    I thought this was kind of cool. I have 2 Killer A5 Haze seedlings a week and a half into flower and both are showing fasciation on one stem each. One has a fasciated bud at the top and the other developed two buds at the top Side by side. Also the one with twins has thick blunt ended pistils...

    Odd looking hairs on Killer A5 Haze

    I have 2 Killer A5 Haze form Ace in the first week of flower. One looks normal the other one of them has odd stigmata hairs. I’m not sure it it is genetic or something else. Any thoughts? Has anyone grown this strain from Ace? Is it typical of one of the phenoms? Both of these plants are...

    Bleached leaf tips, not burn

    So my Kali Mist has yellow white leaf tips. They are not necrotic. Just very pale to white. Other than this the plant is growing like... well, a weed. Fert is at 400 ppm every water. They are in their last week of veg under full spectrum led strips at 30ish watts per sq ft with an additional 7...

    Fill your pots.

    I’m just going to throw this out there for what it’s worth. I see a lot of pictures posted on RIU that show pots that are no where near full. What is up with that? I can understand soil settling over time, What I’m talking about is plants that were planted with a lot of space in the pot below...

    Do I need to cure and dry CBD buds for making lotions.

    I’m about to harvest some CBD Plus for making topical lotions. Question is do I need to dry and cure it first? Was thinking of going straight into the over at 245 F for 40 minutes then chop and into the crock pot with coconut oil. Is that okay or should I dry first? And do I need to cure as well?

    White Bud tips

    Mom’s Northern Lights

    This is Mom’s (she is 79 y.o.) Northern Lights she started last October. Not bad given the lack of light is fertilizer. I think it still a couple of weeks from harvest but now the days up north are getting longer. So do you think it will finish or revert to veg? She is hoping to move it outside...

    Is this normal for CBD varieties?

    This is Dinamed CBD Plus 18 days after the flip to bloom. There are very few or no pistils on the buds. It is definely female as far as I can tell. This is my first time with a high CBD low THC variety. Is this normal? The normal looking bud is of the Lemon Zkittle next door.
