I am doing a bubble bucket grow in a tent and the plant is now about 2-3 weeks old and was doing very well. The setup was steady with the average rez temps around 17-20C and the tent temps around 16-27C with a 600w MH lamp on a 21/3 hour cycle during veg. The humidity was more fluctuating...

Thanks, that’s what I normally do, but once I turn on the air stone, the pH starts going back up! I hadn’t tested the pH like that before (with the air stone running) but wouldn’t it be bad for the plant to sit in pH 7.6 nutes for a day until I checked it again and tried to reset the pH?

I noticed an odd thing today and was worried about having hurt the plant. I mixed up fresh nutes to replace the bubble bucket and when I checked the pH it was high (7.8) so I brought it down to 5.7 with a few drops of pH down. But when I did the same thing after having the air stones running in...

Thanks everyone for the great advice. It's comforting to know that there are a lot of opinions about how to get the most out of the plants. I'm not so worried about doing the wrong thing. I have topped in the past at the 4th, 5th, and 6th nodes and managed to get an even canopy, but when there...

I have come across conflicting advice on how to count nodes for topping a plant. One says to count the first serrated leaf set as node 1 and others say to count the first triple leaf set as node 1. What do growers here tend to count as the first node? And do you recommend cutting after the stem...

Thanks. That was 5 years ago. It was northern lights. It yielded about 200g of dried buds. I just want to understand about beneficial bacteria and if changing nute buckets every week tends to work against developing a good level of beneficial bacteria. Maybe they cling to the roots instead of...

I did a hydro grow in a single bubble bucket once before that came out very well and I was going to try again but I've been reading about the development of beneficial bacteria and it seems at odds with what I did before. My habit before was that I changed the nute bucket every week and started...

I just finished a disappointing grow which got seeded by some hermie in the tent. All the plants had seeds. Now I am about to start a new grow and would like to make sure there is no stray pollen in the tent to contaminate the new grow.. Can I wipe the walls and surfaces down with anything that...

Thanks. I use a coarse colander to rub the dry shake in and it falls through as powder while the seeds remain in the colander. We did this 50 years ago when all the weed was seeded and came in reedy bricks from Mexico. My first brush with sinsemilla was in the late 70s with Gainesville gold at...

I unfortunately got some hermies this time and the harvest is full of seeds. It's a pain to de-seed the buds before smoking, but it's great pot and worth the effort. My question is about making cannabutter. I normally use the shake and grind it up, decarb it in the oven, then simmer it in butter...

This question is for people who grow pot plants for seeds. I was wondering if seed production tends to affect bud development or yield compared to unfertilized plants. Does a plant tend to keep making more and more buds if it isn't getting fertilized? Does it tend to slow down making more buds...

So you don't get mold problems with just bouncing some fans off the walls? I also noticed several photos of fans apparently above the lights in some of the replies. Is the idea just good air circulation? Do you place fans below the plants too? I thought that making the young plants sway a bit...

I have spent a small fortune buying small oscillating fans for the tent but they are all crap and break or start making grinding noises soon after using for a while. I dont have room for a proper table fan in the tent so the smaller the better, but I need something that will last. I don't think...

that's not the problem. of course they'll keep flowering with an even longer dark period. the problem is the other autos will have a lower yield if you only give them 12 hours of light.

Thanks, I'll have another look at them but I couldn't find any nanners the last time I looked. Is it possible for a plant to genetically produce seeds even if it doesn't get pollen from some source?

I have a grow that has shown some seeds developing on several plants. It must have been a hermie that caused it, but the buds are growing very well and I plan to grow it to harvest anyway since the damage is already done. My question is, should I plan to harvest earlier since the plant is making...

Thanks, I already have the tent floor well insulated with styrofoam and have a 25w aquarium heater that keeps the bucket at 16C at its lowest setting and an air pump that was designed for 6 air stones all in one bucket so it looks like the water is at a good boil. I had the same setup last time...

I am going to do another bubble bucket hydro grow in a 1x1x2m tent using a 600w mh and later a 600w hps hid light, and I was wondering which strain might respond particularly well to a hydro grow and be a big yielder and a strong pot. I normally do soil and get 80-90g/plant in 11l pots in the...

What I want to know is how you can sell medical pot that has 0 cbd? Every strain I have looked at in seed shops includes at least a tiny bit of cbd, so how are they getting pot to 0 cbd at the medical dispensaries?

I've dealt with herbies several times and they were fine by me. They seem to ship from Spain now and they take credit cards again after the crap with money orders before. If you don't ask for stealth shipping, the seeds come in sealed packs from breeders and some do look small and puny, but...
