    Auto vs Photo

    Let me preface this by saying......I like both, and both have their uses. They are different though. The top pic is (photo) CSI Humboldt Old Family Purple on day 56 of 12/12. It had a month of veg. The second pic is (auto) Mephisto 3BOG on day 70 from sprout. Both are at similar stages of...

    Ethos freebies question

    Hi all, My last grow was Ethos Mandarin Cookies V2. Absolutely stellar result. With the order, I received some freebies. My question is....I don't mind paying for good beans, so I don't usually bother with freebies as I haven't really had good luck....but is it worth popping these? or should...

    Replacing my Platinum P300 LEDs with something better. Looking for recommendation.

    Hi all, novice home-grower here. I sold my two Platinum P300 Burple LED lights. They were the bee's knees in 2015 (or so I thought) but I see I can do much better now. My main light is a Timber Vero Cobb 400-watt. I typically grow 4 to 6 autoflowers. The space is large, but I don't need to...

    Anyone notice this about harvesting too early?

    Hi all! a novice grower here. I've been tinkering all my life with plants but really only got semi-serious over the last 7 years or so. I have had some really good grows but I think my biggest mistake has been harvesting too early. One thing I have noticed from early weed is really bad...

    What do you think of my lights?

    Hi All, I started off growing in a 4" x 8' grow room with a pair of Platinum P300 lights. I grew some decent plants with these lights. I then purchased a Timber Cob Vero 29 400-watt square frame with a light on each corner. I decided to put the 400-watt cob in the middle and the pair of...

    Ethos Mandarin Cookies V2 - very stretchy

    So I went on a trip and left feeding instructions for a friend who was taking care of the plants while I was gone. They went into 12/12 a week before my trip. They were topped about 10 days before 12/12. When I returned I was surprised at how much they stretched. They look healthy, but huge...

    Stretchy seedlings

    These are some Ethos Mandarin Cookies V2 that I didn't pay enough attention to when they sprouted. The light was too dim and too far away. I transplanted the seedlings into 1-gallon pots and buried 1/2 of the stem in the soil. 10 days later they seem to be okay. I was actually following the...

    Thinking of starting new grow, but temps are high.

    Hi y'all.. My grow room is in my garage. It's a 10'x4'x9' plywood box with COB lighting, exhaust fan and passive intake. I live in the south. This grow will be photoperiod. I usually wait until 2nd week of august. I use the 6 hours off when temps are highest. I've been able to avoid hi-temp...

    HSO Bubba Kush Auto and Dinafem Bubba Kush are the same?

    HSO Bubba Kush auto at about 8 weeks from seed. I grew Dinafem BK and it was one of my favorites. Then Dinafem got shut down...I searched the web high and low for Dinafem BK seeds and couldn't find any. The more I read about HSO BK auto, the more I am convinced they are sourcing from the same...

    Bred by 42?

    Hi Y'all... I'm normally an auto grower but I have accumulated a bunch of Bred 42 as freebies. I'd hate to throw them away only to find out they're really good. Anyone have any experiences with these? Cheers :bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint:

    Mephisto 3BOG and ROG

    And...we're off. 3 of each. I expect all 6 to germ. I won't be transplanting this time. No topping or LST either. A little lolloping..but that's it. Lights are a Timber Vero COB 400 watt, plus a pair of Platinum P300 which I will add during flower. The nutes are General Hydroponics which I...

    Fire Farms - Slurrz

    I received a pair of these as freebies from Supreme Seeds. I usually grow autos but I'm planning to do a few photos, possibly a SCROG. I was going to order some Cannarado beans as they are highly recommended...but before I do I thought I'd see if anyone has experience with these. I'm...

    Leaving town for 4 days. What to do with plants?

    Hi all...I have four Alien Vs Triangle autos that are 8 weeks. They are healthy and growing in 3 gallon plastic pots with FFOF. I water by hand. I have to leave town for 4 days. I'm thinking of drenching them before I leave and putting lights on 12/12 instead of 24/0 where they are now. My...

    What a difference hydrometers in the jars can make..

    A lot of you may already know this. I'm a slow learner I guess...For my last 2 harvests I used hydrometers in the jars. The quality of the cannabis is 100% better than when I was guessing everything. It took me a while to get this...but now I dry until it is less than 70RH in the Jar. I hang...

    Mephisto Alien Vs Triangle

    I always start off in a solo cup and transplant at 7 days. This time I decided to go straight into a 3 gallon pot. The challenge has always been managing the water amount so that the seedling tap root can still get oxygen. A solo cup is a smaller space and a seedling thrives more easily than...

    Transplanting Autos - Redux

    Seedling stage is when a lot of new growers seem to have difficulty. Just posting this here to show how simple caring for seedlings and transplanting them really is. I start off in a solo cup with a mild soil like FF Light Warrior, or Biobiz Lite Mix. These sit under a 40 watt cfl for 7...
