    All Leaves Yellow. Will Buds Still Ripen?

    This grow is going longer than I had planned, but I am using weaker led lights and I have under fed for the most part, so it is understandable. I'm over 90 days flower time. I have one indica and one sativa. I figured the sativa may take this long or longer, but the indica i thought would be...

    Curious Odor Released from Plants right when Lights Go Off

    I've been noticing this for awhile, that right when the lights shut off in the grow closet at night, immediately there is a unique smell present, like the plants release an odor right when they shift into their dark sleep time. It smells "green", and not like green as in buds, but green as in a...

    Curing/Drying in a Glass Jar with a Cork Lid

    Would you theoretically be able to both dry and cure in one stage/process, in one glass jar with a cork lid? Seems to me excess moisture would absorb into the cork and the air flow through the cork would prevent mold on the buds. You could shake it several times a day, and maybe have a fan...

    Smelling the flowering grow despite having a carbon filter

    I've got a 6" fan and 6" carbon filter inside a 4x4 tent. It's in late flower and I'm starting to smell it outside the tent, even though I'm using the carbon filter. I have the fan turned up half strength and the carbon filter is new, this is the first grow I'm using it with. Is it typical...

    3 Questions (Bloom, Air Bubbles, Ph & EC Inconsistencies) + Flowering Pics

    1. I'm noticing that when I add Bloom nutes (AN nutes ph perfect 3 part base kit), the ppm/EC reads much lower than when I add grow & micro in the same amounts. It is a very noticeable difference in reading, with EC readings rising less when adding bloom nutes, x3 + times more when adding micro...

    I have a difficult time swapping dwc buckets and untangling airstone tubes from roots

    I don't have terribly much trouble lifting the plant and roots from old bucket into the new bucket, my main difficulty is the air stone tubes entwine heavily with the roots, which grow all around them, and there is a lot of difficulty getting the stone and tubes separated from the roots. There...

    Cannabis Overdose Experiences

    Wasn't sure where to post this. I saw a few threads in this sub forum with similar posts, so figured I'd just post it here, since this is the most populated forum. A few years ago, my gf of the time and I ate some bag weed her uncle in NY gave her when she was up visiting. We smoked it for...

    Should I Add Hydroguard Every Top Off?

    My plants are at the stage now where I'm adding a gallon of water every other day to the 5 gallon dwc buckets. I'm not sure if I should be adding hydroguard every time I top off? It would make sense for me to, but it could be the hg bacteria is not all absorbed in the water the plant drinks...

    Question about measuring and estimating ppm

    I'm in early to mid veg stage, and my res are both 400ppm and a little above, which is fine for me right now. My question is about determining the right amount of nutes to add, taking into consideration my starting tap water ppm...which is a little under 200. I know it isn't ideal using well...

    Is changing res water in dwc really necessary?

    Theoretically, if you're keeping the water clean and roots healthy, couldn't you just keep adding fresh water to the res? ...along with nutes and (hydroguard) ... maintaining desired ph and ppm. For how much the plants drink later in their lifespan, it seems to me the water would be...

    Quick question about rapid rooters after plant is established

    My plants are looking good, day 11 and 13 for the two plants, respectively. I'm doing 5 gallon dwc's. The rapid rooter on one of the plants is just about totally dried out...My question is, since the plant is established and already showing roots down through the hydroton and into the...

    Debating Grow Tent Size & If I should go CFM Overkill

    Thanks to some suggestions here on the forum, I'm going to get a tent and do it proper with an exhaust system. The tent I had considered originally, before ditching the idea completely, was one 48x24x60. I'm not looking to grow more than 2 or 3 plants at a time, however I'm considering the...

    Can an Open Window replace an Exhaust System?

    My basement is a large size. Near the small window down there, I'm going to set up 2 plants. If I have a window fan blowing fresh air in from outside and onto my plants, will that be sufficient? I don't need massive yields. I'm just looking to get a small crop going for medicinal purposes...
