    Cloning box recommendations?

    I know, I know, all cloning takes is a cup of water... I will be the first to admit that I am an utter failure when it comes to cloning. I’ve tried taking cuttings, cutting the stem 45°, abrading the bottom of the stem, and using root hormone powder so many times and I just cannot get the damn...

    My little office plant

    I don't know why, but I love my little desk plant. This is a King's Banner I planned on growing outdoors but I neglected it during early veg. Instead of tossing it into the compost pile I decided to throw it on my desk in the window to keep as a house plant. I give it a little water every now...

    Clones flowering under 14/10?

    I'm going to start this off admitting that I have never had good results with cloning, but I think most of that has been due to me being impatient with the process, and checking on root development too often. That said, I have had some "outdoor" plants in my smaller veg tent on a 14/10 cycle to...

    Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't

    I searched the forum to see if anyone has discussed this guy before but it came up empty. Have you guys watched this guy's videos before? He knows a lot about botany, but he plays up his Chicago accent, and his videos are extremely funny and really interesting. Warning: If you watch his...

    DIY tie downs for fabric pots

    I've gone back and forth with stakes I've made from metal coat hangers and Velcro tie downs. I love how you can just stick Velcro tie downs to the side of fabric posts but I've always had issues with getting them to hold onto the branches properly. I had this idea today and it's the best of...

    Thinking about flipping to flower earlier than usual. What do you guys think?

    Ok, so this is my first organic grow, and I also just built and installed new lights last week. I have usually waited until week 8 of veg before flipping to flower, but these plants are growing seriously fast under the new lights. This picture was taken 6 days ago under the old lights. and...

    Blumat system advice?

    I'm contemplating going with a Blumat system for my tent, because I'm having a hard time figuring out how to properly water an organic grow, and I feel like I'm either over or under watering. For those of you who use this system, what would you recommend for 10 gal fabric pots? Should I go...

    36 Days from sprout and he’s already chucking pollen

    Is it common for a male to be this far along at 36 days from sprout? They were flipped to a flowering schedule Ed’s than a week ago, but he was already showing at day 28. The other plant I assumed was female looks to be just starting to show as a male so it looks like I’ll just be collecting...

    Just transplanted into 10gal and have a stupid question...

    Ok, I feel really stupid asking this question, but I'm used to growing non-organic in 5 gal pots. I just went from 1.5gal pots to 10 gal pots and I'm wondering how much water I should start with when I water these pots? I've been giving the plants about 1L each, once every 3-4 days, so I'm...

    Anyone having issues viewing pictures today?

    I'm having a really hard time opening images that are hosted here today. I feel like I'm back in the 90s with my 56K modem but it only appears to be happening on this site.

    Crazy how quickly they can show sex

    Have two Cherry Wine F2 CBD plants growing that I was planning on sticking outside that are on day 28 since sprout. They were grown from regs so I’ve been checking on them daily to see if they are showing sex. Yesterday morning they weren’t showing really anything. I saw one nub on the back...

    Just finished making my self burping jars.

    I’m horrible at remembering to burp my jars each day, and someone posted about this on Reddit awhile back, so I thought these would be great to try for my current harvest. I can’t wait to try them out to see how well they work. I originally made just one set of four 1/2 gallon jars but thought...

    Starting autos in final pot

    Please bear with me, because I have never grown an autoflower, but I'm genuinely curious about this recommendation I hear so often. Is transplant shock so common with autoflowers that people really should refrain from starting them in small containers? I've been growing photos for over two...

    Anyone get Ed Rosenthal's new book?

    I pre-ordered his new book and it came in yesterday. I'm only a few pages in so far but it seems like a good read. It was $20 on his site for a signed first edition and he threw in 3 boveda packs as well as the latest issue of Skunk Magazine, so I thought it was a great deal for the price...

    Getting harvested tomorrow!

    My ILGM OG Kush is ready, after 8 weeks in veg & 10 weeks in flower, and I can’t wait to see how this turns out after drying and curing. The colas have nice dense buds, tons of trichomes, and the smell is amazing. Can’t complain about these results from 2 cheap Chinese COB LED lights from...

    Beginner question about topdressing and teas

    I'm here again with a complete beginner question that I'm hoping some of you can help me understand. When I purchased my dry nutrients (Elevation Organics Mountain Blossoms line), the guy at the garden shop told me to use it both as a top dressing and a tea. I'm having a hard time wrapping...

    Quick question from someone new to organic

    Hi everyone! I'm preparing for my first living soil organic grow and have a question. Per the advice of a local organic grow shop I have decided to use the following for my next grow: Soil will be a 50/50 mix of Elevation Summit Soils Base Camp and Nectar for the Gods #4. Before I decided to...

    Looks like they’re pretty much ready!

    I’ll probably let them go for the week and then harvest next Saturday. I haven’t fed them in quite awhile, due to over feeding earlier on, so that’s probably where all the purple is coming from. I had a little purple from the cooler temps earlier on but it’s coming in much faster now. Do you...

    I just remembered why I hate peat pods

    I ran out of rooting plugs, so I decided to start some germinated seeds in some compressed peat pods I had laying around the other day, and it all came back to me. These things are so difficult to keep at just the right moisture level for newly germinated seeds. I feel like I always make them...
