mike e, some of us also still call it dope - I guess it didn't make it to your beautiful list. I kind of try not to call it dope, though I don't always care about using another word, and after that many years it's a hard habit to break.
I'll be uploading pics this week- 7 days into flower cycle at this point and the posture of the plants have changed, presumably to accommodate those nuggets. First time here- total n00b.
Indoor grow- I've been having a hard time keeping the humidity in my tent down during lights off. Is this common typically? Usually shoots to ~60% with lights off right now. I live in southern New England and the summers are pretty damn hot. I can get the tent down to 47-50% with the lights on- which I'm more comfortable with... hoping lights off doesn't become a problem. Air circulation is good... I find it helps when I crack the tent for lights off too to air it out a bit.
Any input appreciated- pics coming later. Doing fully organic. Topdressing with alf alfa meal and kelp powder... going for the living soil thing... probably going to ditch my smart pots after this grow as, from what I've been told by some folks on Grass City, these are definitely not helping the humidity battle I'm fighting right now. Overall, the 5 plants look pretty good.. my tent is 4 x 8' and I had two BestVA 3000W (615 watt pull from wall each) going. This week I realized the 5 pots all fit on one side so moved them all to one side and dropped down to one light for savings on my electric bill.
..with my central air running and this little science project, I almost fainted when opening my bill from N Grid. ...just got approved for a $4k grant from my state for solar panels since the angle of my roof and amount of sunlight qualify me... also getting $4k from federal income tax credit which winds down after next year. Just awaiting the financing to go through which shouldn't really be an issue as I do have a great credit score... just waiting to hear back... little curious if I get shut down as we're in a recession and I think money is going to be harder to be lended.
I did Scooby last year and love the strain. The plants yielded 9-11 oz each. Right now they are 6.5' high and 4' diameter, just starting to flower.
The LSD is new to me. The plants show like classic indica, short and squat. They started flowering over a week ago. I don't know what they'll ultimately yield, but they should have some monster buds. They already stink like crazy. It's can't imagine what it will be like in 6-7 weeks.
Does your tent have an exhaust fan jay? This is in addition to an oscillating circulatory fan (which is also pretty necessary.) If not, it needs one. The fan should draw room temperature air into the tent through the lower vents and exhaust at the top ducted to somewhere outside of the growing space or room. That said; put the exhaust fan on a thermostat switch with temp and humidity adjustments. If your tent is large enough and still needs more dehumidification, put a dehuey in the tent. Point the exhaust away from the plants so they don't get wind burned. I prefer a very stripped down and simplified growing space, and would defer to dehumidifying the room (I take air) personally. The real risk here especially if feeding quick uptake nitrogen sources, in not getting the humidity under control is moldy plants next..
to add to what Bss said, I keep the house at 77 and the humidity runs around 50 - 55% all summer in the heart of the midwest (86% humidity today...fn miserable outside). It would be cheaper to cool the small bedroom, but my house is under 700 sq. ft. so my electric and gas combined are around $90/mo., tents, ac and all. I have a panasonic panaflo whisper quiet "bathroom" exhaust fan at the top of a 2 x 4 tent just above the light (was my flower tent, but now used for clones and veg), stays on 24 hrs and draws air from both sides from the bottom and up and out. 3 air exchanges/min. and never had a problem with any diseases. Like Bss stated, a small dehumid for the room (instead of the tent) may be all you need and always keep the air moving. Don't get discouraged, keep trying and Good luck!!!
>> I find it helps when I crack the tent for lights off too to air it out a bit.
be careful of any room light leaking into the tent during lights off (hermies)
Outdoors here. An LSD, a Durban Poison, a Lightsaber - all about 6 feet high , with buds just starting to come on. Also a small SD - had to replace a big one that hermed.
Thank you both for the input. So I do have an exhaust fan and a dehumidifier. I'll have an opportunity to take pictures this evening.
To elaborate a bit more:
I have a 4' x 8' tent in a spare room in my basement. Outside the tent I have a 70 pint General Electric dehumidifier which certainly works well for removing moisture from the air. I have it draining into a storage bin that I empty every couple of days and it is HEAVY. The issue I see with the dehumidifier is it raises the temps in the room into the 80s so I bought a portable AC unit to cool the room as well.
In my tent, I have a 6" hyper fan and carbon filter expelling the exhaust air through ducting out of the house entirely. I currently have it on at around 50% of its max... I've read that when its very humid outside you don't want the thing turned up too high cause you'll be pulling that humid air back into the room from outside. I have 3 large "box" fans that you can pick up at any store that generate some serious air movement.. my tent came with a few extra fan straps so last night I fasted one fan and afixed it to the side of the tent and it was swirling the air from 3-4 feet off ground... this brought the RH in the tent down to 53% during lights off, which is obviously better than the 60% in my post from yesterday.. I can live with that, I think?
I drop my kid off at her grandmas tonight so will have a little photo sess.
Sweet offer, Jaz. No spot taken as I do have a fan/filter already. From what I understand, I got an industry leader too.
No, you shouldn't really need to open the tent to control temp or airflow. Yes the tent's purpose is to create a closed environment.
Another thing I'm realizing is that You may have a lot more soil than root mass and vegetable matter in there. Smaller containers, watered more frequently (people get lazy about this, but in reality you need to be in there every day anyways, so..) will do a lot of the work keeping rh under control mostly on their own in the future. This also allows more opportunities for feeding. While it's a nice thought, "Living soil" containers really don't allow for any flexibility when it comes to plant size, root mass, and individual plant demands and vigor. A common mistake newer indoor growers make is growing too small of plants, in too big of containers, in too big of a light/airspace, usually overwatered.
My advice in your situation is to set the ac unit five degrees lower than you think you should, and also let this unit do the bulk of your dehumidifying work. (Yes, air conditioners do naturally dehumidify also) Keep the door to this room closed. Keep the heater vents closed also. Cover and insulate the windows for increased effectiveness.
Are you using something other than HPS lighting? LED and LEC lights have a lower heat signature. In some cases this is good. In yours, my guess is it could be contributing. I've yet to see anything outperform a bare vertical bulb in any tent setup. You need/want a good temp and humidity swing throughout the days and nights, and choice of lighting directly effects this.
Hi Jay. Imo, no. As long as your room/ dwelling is secure and clean you're good. I've grown indoor for almost 30 yrs., everything from refrigerator boxes, plywood enclosures and finally tents; in closets, false walls and basements and not once have i had a problem with mold, aphids, mites, thrips or anything else. detrimental to the plants. The ocassional house spiders are more than welcome. Simple housekeeping goes a long way, and preventing a problem is far easier, cheaper and less emotionally investing than chasing a problem.
Overall, I don't think they look too bad.. a little lime green and some yellowing which I chaulk up to the fact I had overwatered them pretty severely and had to let them dry out fully to kill the gnat invasion. Watering with Triton's Trawl in my water- link below:
Top left? That's a hidden flower. I've sprayed for caterpillars. You can see their damage towards the top, the holes in the leaves. Maybe it's all caterpillar damage?
we don't have a lot of annoying insects here but what we sure do have is fucking moths and caterpillars!
friend gave me 2 cherry bomb clones....one was pretty much dead when he gave it to me...the other was doing ok...potted it up and something/somehow the stem got rottten/eaten through/broken? I taped it and put cinnamon on it...think its a goner...
ohter jack clone was a science project...flowering...kinda...
2 from seed, doing well for being planted 4th of july. pretty sure they are girls...
lemon jack in hoop house flowering bigly...still found a bigly fucking moth....battling light pollution.
It's August. My eye is primed for anomalies amidst the green. I can't help you with bugs or diseases though, BK. Fortunately, we don't have many of either in the high desert.
Cool little hoop house, Turtle. You weren't kidding about needing to lift that plant up.
My lesson this year: To have the biggest, strongest, and most resilient plant; one should stress, bend, top as many times as it can take, injure, and bring the plant to the verge of death without killing it. I'll show some results soon of the success I've had doing just that.
What's up Mikee! Turtle, your shit is looking great!
Barry, if your question is in reference to my post of Tuesday, July 28, 2020 at 9:08 pm, then no, I'm not Troodle. But that same question was raised just last month, so I guess it's possible that I am Troodle, although I seriouslee doubt it.
..looking for advice from the experts on what to do with fan leaves trimmed from plant during flowering. It seems like a polarizing topic in itself so just looking for input from those who DO trim fan leaves during flower and how do you use them?
watch out for these guys too. Bt is okay to spray on your plants and will keep caterpillars away. I like to us powdered yucca as a wetting agent. When I say no spraying, what I am really saying is no spraying any oils or chemicals, only water solubles and generally not on mature fruit. Spraying beneficials, or ferments/teas/etc generally ok ymmv
see the brown spots on that lower bud there? Caterpillar shit. If you find these guys, most of the branch will probably need to be composted. What caterpillars don't physically destroy, they shit all over. And nobody wants to smoke any of that. Inspect vigorously and cull / prune liberally as necessary. Plants at this stage of growth need to be hand managed.
>>assuming you're trimming the leaves because they are blocking light from getting to certain buds?
Correct... and for air flow.
I'm putting them in a bag right now to dry out and figure out what to do with later. My plants are on week 3 of flower and I don't think (?) there's any THC or anything in the leaves yet..?
Thanks, Mike. My flowers are coming in pretty nice! This is very exciting for me. Your plants looks great... I topped mine similar to yours and have 16 bud sites on two of them. The others have 12-16 ish. Between my 5 plants I'm hoping to get a pound but will be happy with anything, really.
Some of the backyard girls. The one on the left is starting to bud. The one of the right is like Edgar Winter - Frankenstein. Went into early flower a few months ago, but let it ride and then it went into serious re-veg and now is starting to bud again. We will see what happens.
Growing ganja for your head is always a fun backyard garden experiment.
Flowers are coming in NICELY on my end.. I'll upload pics tomorrow. I'm growing Gorilla Glue which from what I understand can go hermie often.. gotta keep my eyes open going forward.
Can the experts chime in on their drying/curing techniques? ^___^

A wetting agent or surfactant decreases the surface tension of the liquid being applied (in this case, bacillus thurgensis used in a foliar spray) which allows it to "stick" to the plants rather than just bead up and roll off. It only takes a tiny bit. Like maybe a quarter of a gram.
when applying a foliar spray, it is important to ensure 100% coverage of the plant. Stalks and undersides of leaves too. Do this right before sun up or sun down.
if you maintain houseplants, a leaf of live aloe can be de-skinned, emulsified in water, and then added to your spray mix just the same. Or powdered aloe is also available and can be used here.
A few drops of dr bronners liquid Castile soap can be used the same way and many people might already have this available in their house.
>>Growing food and weed for your friends and family is a great example of how you can participate in ongoing social and political protest right at home
Fuck yea it is!
..gonna stop by the store tonight and see if I can get some sort of wooden stakes to stick down into the pots and tie some of the branches to.. they're starting to get heavy ^__^ 24 days into flower.
Post a pic or two here, Turtle. You've got some folks here who know a thing or three. Also, the outdoor growing thread on Reddit has some good stuff too.
this has been my go to for some time, Turtle. Full sections on disease id, causes, etc. and nutrient deficiency pics, explanations, etc.
Can you put an oscillating fan on your girls? It won't drop the humidity but it will improve air flow which is critical, especially at night when temp drops and humidity spikes. Bud rot , or botrytis, s a symptom of too high of humidity allowed for too long of a period of time. From my experience, cannabis flowers can take nightly humidity as high as 90% on a regular basis as long as daytime temps drop the humidity and good overall airflow is provided both day and night. But developing flowers can't take high humidity both day andnight repeatedly, even with adequate airflow.
Lots of good online sources with pics too if you google "cannabis disease ID." I'm not sure how much you've grown before, but it's always nice to see someone trying. It almost always boils down to the basics of adequate light, moisture, food and airflow and you'll do well. Best of luck and don't get discouraged.
and my bud rot, def due to worms. we got 'em here. even with bt and a net. pernicious fuckers. they are also exposed to daily 10+ knt afternoon winds, although it's calm in the morning/late eve...i'm sure a fan wouldn't hurt...
I've been finding little green wormy things on my leaves the last couple of days, but haven't found any bud damage yet. We don't get a lot of pests up here in the hills, and I really don't want to treat the plants to deal with this, but I'll keep scanning, plucking, and squishing, and hope that gets me through.
Aroma/Flavor: This strain carries strong tropical aromas that are accented by delicious flavors of papayas, guavas, mangos and pine. Typical Effects: This strain won 2 awards during the Emerald Cup 2017. It took home 1st place for highest terpene content, with a whopping 4.8% total content! It also earned itself 2nd place for a unique terpene profile, testing with an uncommonly high amount of Ocimene. This tantalizing strain provides an uplifting and invigorating cerebral buzz. It delivers euphoric waves and stimulates creativity. <<<<
Thanks BK, but it's not perfected yet. Mainlining has been an interesting experiment and I have some ideas to get things more dialed in next year. But Jesus didn't have anything to do with it.
Jesus has everything to do with it, and you're going to hell for saying otherwise!
Can you "train" any strain to have that bud structure? My biggest Scooby Snack will yield around an lb, but the average dried bud is about a gram. It's a lot of trimming. It would be pretty cool to have it grow like yours.
Interesting, thanks! I wonder how Scooby would do. The article says, "no more popcorn buds," but that strain is marked by popcorn. The LSD, on the other hand, would be perfect for it.
It's some work early in the season with topping and training, but all told it's probably less than an hour a plant spread out over 6-8 weeks or so. I'm guessing I'll save multiples of that hour when it's time to trim her.
They say dry trim is best. Pull off fan leaves and hang stems upside down in a dark, cool, low humidity room with fans on them. When the smallest branch is dry enough to "snap," then trim.
Cut trimmed buds off the stems and put in brown paper bags. Hang back up in that room. Give them a shake every day. When they feel really dry, in about a week, start curing in jars.
Last year I had rot on one of my plants, the one with the huge buds. I wet trimmed that one, to be sure it was getting enough airflow.
I love this thread. I have to say, my own personal gold medal here goes to Mike Edwards. Damn, dude! Way to go!!! I do something similar with the LST, but I haven't achieved that beautiful effect so completely yet. Plus, my space is really small so it's not all that feasible. I find it really helps to constanly clean the bottom part of the branches, too. Plants grow popcorn nugs all over the place, but you have to pick them off to allow the plant to focus energies on the top kola. At least, in my space that works as the bottom layer gets no light anyways, so those little buds just drag the plant down.
As for drying, again, my space is particular, but this time I tried something different. I wet trimmed the buds down to their final result and then put them out on drying racks. I'd never used a drying rack before but it worked like a charm. About 48 hours on the rack and then into paper bags for two or three weeks. It's the best dry and cure job I've ever pulled off and this is a really challenging phase for me.
Anyways, my new round of girlies just germinated on Thursday. 3 gelato and 3 pineaplle express. It's an 80x80x160cm tent and last time I pulled in 270g. Gonna see if I can match or improve that this time...
And yeah, BK, I grew a few LSD-25 autos a couple rounds ago and they definitely have nice big fat kolas naturally. But again, peeling off all the bottom layers of growth is good (IMO) to get all top kolas and no popcorn. In my experience, this improves the yield, doesn't hurt it, but others may have had different experiences.
Mark and PLF, I know you guys are kidding, or I think you are at least, but I like the idea of judging grower's efforts. Maybe we could have a Zone Cannabis Cup next year?
Exactly. I was thinking it's probably too late, and folks are too busy, to set something up for this year. How would something like that work? My stuff usually isn't really what I consider cured until about Thanksgiving.
Here's a pic from Monday, I'd love to see these get another 2 weeks, but we've got rains coming in tomorrow / Friday... there's one plant (not pictured) that'll be ready to harvest, thinking we'll tarp them up tomorrow, and hope for no mold. Sunday on looks dry again (Saturday should be dry in our parts)
That looks ready if you like an energetic high! I'm growing mine at a friends, heading out tomorrow to tarp up, and i'll harvest any that look like that, save my bets against mold!
I have a Green Crack and a Grapefruit Haze that I'm going to chop with mostly cloudy and just a few ambers, but I want to let the GSC get a nice mix of cloudy and amber for more of a sit down smoke, but not full-on couchlock.
LSD, LS, and Durban Poison looking good. Waiting for sun to get a decent pic, but finalized the rain protection this morning - the plastic sheet is attached to the house, hanging there until it's time to throw it over the clothesline and secure it on the fence side.
Uh, you can't really grow outdoors in winter. The plants need the increasing light from April to June and the decreasing light from June to October to grow and flower correctly.
This Is the Time Of Year Most Are Protecting Their Crop/s Before October Harvests - I Am Fascinated By Plants The Different Strains Harvests Trimming Curing Etc. a fan since 7th grade !
Thanks, Mike. You'd almost think that I know what I'm doing!
The irony to it all is that I smoke so little these days, usually a hit or two after 9:00 pm. Off 4 plants I'll get enough to last a lifetime. I just love looking at it, playing with it, and hooking friends. I especially love giving it to people who truly need it for medical reasons.
I know a dude who was in some elite Special Forces unit, and got blown up in the Battle of Mogadishu. Between the TBI, constant pain and PTSD, he self-medicated with booze for years, until it landed him in a coma. He woke up with severe pancreatitis, on top of the other shit, and has to regularly take dilaudid for the pain. He recently found that weed can help, so that he can take less opiates.
I threw him a 1/4 of Scooby and a 1/4 of Sour Bubble. He was blown away that I gave him that much, and how well both of them worked for the pain.
In my mind, that's what it's all about. Fuck that $400 oz bullshit (or even $200), just hook people up.
Amen to that, BK. I'll probably give away a large part of what I harvest this year to friends, and I've been using it to barter the last few years too. The guy who wacks my weeds and does yard cleanup and dump runs usually charges $100, but he's real happy to get a fat half ounce for his efforts instead of cash. And like you said, working with the plant is extremely gratifying; it's like meditation in many ways.
I think 200 for an oz is fair if it's of high quality/cured right/grown in a small batch/etc. I'm learning the economics of it all now going through this for my first time.. I suspect I'll get more efficient as I progress along but my electric bill has been about $150 more a month right now growing. I've had these plants going for 4.5 months now and have spent about $800 on electricity.. I'm hoping to get a lb but I really don't know.. I'm on week 7 now of flipping to 12/12 and still waiting for the colas to fill out more.. what do you guys think? How are these looking? Should I stop giving nutrients soon?
Looking nice and frosty there, Sio. You should use the chart Noodler posted above to help you figure out when to harvest. I stop giving nutes and start flushing when I see some ambers. You should pick up a jewelers loupe to check the trichomes; you can get a decent one for $10-20 on Amazon. Or you can try taking some close-up pics with your phone; that won't magnify the trichomes as well as a loupe, and it's kind of tricky to find the minimum distance the lens can deal with and still find focus, but it should give you a pretty good idea of where your girls are at.
I had much better luck last year with Black Jack. This girl I started inside and then moved outside..and then moved inside when the ash started falling. She's been outside for a week, and bad air coming tomorrow so I can harvest or put back inside. I think I'm driving her nuts...
Looks like that's an indica dominant (according to Leafly), so it's already likely to have some sedative properties. From that pic, it looks like you might have a mix of clear and cloudy trichomes. Maybe another week?
Edit: Or two weeks if you're looking for nepenthe.
We've been in smoke for the last 2-3 weeks in SoCal and I've had no choice but to leave my girls outdoors; I just shake the branches to clear the ash. One of the things that happens with big fires is that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels go up, and green plants thrive on CO2, so there's that to consider.
>>Jay, can you take a picture with your camera and expand it as you look at it?
Ugh- hasn't been working. I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S20 a few months back which is a pretty high-end phone and unfortunately I've been very disappointed with the camera.. seems like most folks are too :(
My buddy brought over his Carson mini microscope today. That thing is sweet. We looked at the trichromes at 60x and 100x. It has a built-in LED light.
Jay, Amazon has them for like $13. If you order today you'll have it in a few days. I don't really need one because I only do one crop a year, but it's a worthwhile investment if you do multiple cycles.
For under $25 they have microscopes that connect to your phone, so you can show us all pics at 100x magnification.
No trays. They just sit on the ground. I'm in the high desert/mountains, and it's really dry here, so in July and August, they get 2 gallons a day, but only a gallon a day before and after that. I started pHing my water this year, which is kind of a hassle, but pH Down is fairly cheap, and it made a big difference.
For some reason I use 15 gallon soft pots. I sink them about 1/3 of the way into the ground to keep them stable. It definitely doesn't keep the size down. My tallest Scooby is about 9'. I live in a residential area on the front of my house, and we abut a big cornfield on the back. Luckily I'm able to keep them somewhat hidden.
Today my neighbor said to me, "My wife and I lay in bed with the smell of your weed wafting through the window, and we don't want to get out of bed. It smells so good. We both wish we could get that in an air-freshener so it smells like that all year." As the crow flies, they're only 30-40' from their bedroom window.
LS, DP, LSD. Will prob. start harvesting the LSD tis afternoon - it's the most ripe and rain is forecast for tomorrow. The plants have rain protection, but better get 'em while it's dry out.
A couple of the girls under the EZ-up to keep them out of the rain. The rest of this week is going to be really wet, but they aren't ready for harvest quite yet. Will have to give them a few more weeks. Going back east in mid-October and want to have them hanging up to dry by then and I can trim when I get back.
What's this craziness about keeping the girls out of the rain? Mine just survived 3 frosts and a hard freeze, and I sprayed them down just to be sure they'd survive.
I chopped my Grapefruit Haze on Sunday, will probably do my Girl Scout Cookies this weekend, and then my Green Crack and the stragglers/runts the weekend after that. My house smells like weed. I'm not complaining.
Made the call to harvest just before Thursdays storms... glad we did, as my neighbors plants had mold by Saturday...
So far all testing has been pleasantly rewarding, and all trichomes were milk colored before the pull (was going to leave the girl scout cookies, they just didn't have the resin flow yet).
Hey Surf, how does your LSD look compared to mine? It's always interesting to see how the same strain looks when grown from different stock, grown in different media, and in this case, grown 3,000 miles apart.
>>That sounds so much cooler than a jewelers loupe. Can't wait to see what you scope, Sio.
I'm excited too! I'm not sure how great my camera will pick them up though... going forward I would like to pick up what BK was mentioning... a microscope/app sort of thing. Money is tight AF right now- weathering the times pretty well but I am certainly up against it financially in my own way.
We already cut down the best LSD buds, but I don't think they were as photogenic as yours - we had to deal with hundred degree temps. wildfire smoke, and humidity in the single digits. Also don't have a good close-up camera thing happening. I'll try to get a pic when they;re trimmed but not yet taken apart.
Hard to capture but this is one cola of Hulk Juice(bruce banner x crown sg1). Needs about 2 weeks but unfortunately with the moisture in the air it probably won't last that long.
Got my Grapefruit Haze in jars today. I'm guessing that once it's cured and finish-trimmed, it'll yield about 12 ounces, which is about twice as much as I've gotten from 7 gallon pots before. Mainlining is definitely the way to go. I'll probably chop my Girl Scout Cookies tomorrow or Monday, and then my Green Crack and a couple of runts/stragglers next weekend.
LOL to the slovenly look, ha ha ha... (my place is beyond trashed, but harvest forced some cleaning, so that's good)
I definitely enjoyed this years finger and scissor hash, really kicked some brain cells around!
Looks like the sugar leaf clippings and much of the "B" bud will end up as butter for cookies... my friends (in their 70's) who helped out this year just can't handle the smoke like they use to (we've all got COPD now), so looking forward to some serious melting couch cookie time! (most of the girl scout cookies will end up as old timer cookies, LOL).
Sure am. Pulled a full ounce of bubble hash out of 4 oz of last year's sugar leaves and popcorn buds. I know that most people keep the hash from the different screens separate, but I lumped it all together. I gave most of it away.
We considered getting a rosin press, but the bubble hash is yummy.
Nugbuckets mentions that some strains are better suited for mainlining, and I've found that to be true. My Grapefruit Haze and Green Crack main colas stacked up really well, with some lower branching, but my Girl Scout Cookies tops are only about half the size of her bigger sisters'; they're still 6-8 inch main colas, but a lot of her energy went into her lower branches.
The standard model for mainlining seems to be for 16 main stems, and I'm kind of conflicted about this. The pots I grow in are only 7 gallon, which is somewhat on the small side because I need to control the height of my plants. What I found though is that managing 16 main stems once you're in full veg gets pretty complicated. So, I think I might just do eight mains next year, but like I said, I'm conflicted about this and will be pondering what to do over the winter. Also, only doing eight main stems means that only three toppings are needed, which means less stress on the plant and more time for the plant to develop, since toppings typically require about a week or so to bounce back from.
One of the nice things about mainlining is that most of the work is done fairly early in the season, when things typically aren't too busy in the garden. I'm guessing I spent less than 30 minutes a plant doing the toppings and trainings; it was probably more like 10-15 minutes per plant spread out over the course of several weeks.
One thing I noticed this season is that my main stems weren't nearly as uniform as I thought they might be, and I'm guessing this is because I topped things sooner rather than later. I think next year I need to let things develop a bit more before I do my toppings.
My main takeaway from this season is that mainlining is an excellent way to grow weed outdoors. It's looking like I will double my yield from last year with only one other significant change in my method: pHing my water. I used the same commercial soil and organic nutes, and the weather was pretty much the same as it was last year--very hot and all kinds of sunny--and the ratio of usable bud to larf is pretty much ridiculous this year; there is no larf to speak of, which means much less time trimming.
I'm really looking forward to round two of my mainlining experiment next year.
Hey mike, could you please start a thread about Mainlining in the Cannabis Folder with your last post, pics, whatever. It'll be easy to find for reference for other folks next year.
We may move this whole thread over there when it seems like the time. There is so much good information in it, as well as great photos. Putting it in the Cannabis folder will be good for ease in finding it.
Beautiful stuff everyone. Loving everything! I'm coming in hot with some sweet pics and news. I spotted my first amber trichs today on 3/5 of the plants and am in the flushing stage now... I'm harvesting 1 week from today! Pics below- I'm super pumped at this point!
Anyone wanna guess on final weight here, dried? I started the project hoping for a pound but am thinking 14-16 oz at this point. Overall, I think this is working out very well for a first attempt. 5 plants Gorilla Glue.
Not really. My estimates of my own stuff are usually too high or too low depending on what kind of mood I'm in. But based on 5 plants and what I see in the pics, I'd say your estimate is reasonable, Sio.
judit, I read your post and would be happy to start a mainlining thread in the Cannabis folder in the next day or so.
So work has been busy and the days shorter and haven't seen my plants in the daylight for many days. This evening, found that the buds and leaves on some of the lower branches are turning brown and mushy. Doh! There are colas and other buds that appear unaffected. Grown a bunch, but never had to deal with mold. Could it be the mold? If so, is there hope if I immediately harvest the unaffected parts?
Sounds like bud rot, Ken. I don't have first-hand experience with it, so all I can say is google it and get busy. My understanding is that it can spread fast.
Trimmed the LSD last night and today, took about 15 labor hours to do two plants. After a week of drying the 2 plants come in at a measly 13.5 oz. Although the buds looked huge, they were a conglomeration of small, often whispy buds. A lot of it was untrimmable. I have what seems to be an equal amount of popcorn and trim as I do bud, so it should be a big hash year. The nugs are small, but they are super pungent, sticky, and purple/red.
I'm half done harvesting the Scooby Snacks, which look awesome. The buds are way fatter and frosty than they were last year.
Have to inspect daily. Rot that large didn't happen in one day.
Live by this code if you 'work' outside. It's a part time job and more importantly something is better than nothing. Divide what you think you'll have by 4.
The strains that circulate have been grow in ideal conditions w/a maxed out feedchart. Outdoors, freeballing it for days isn't going to cut it. Find an 'acclimated' strain if you can't spend the time with it -- or a franken autoflower.
Brian - you weighing trim with bud? Nothing is untrimmable. You might end up with half of what you thought you had but leaving that leaf is just going to end up with hotter burning shitty tasting. Id rather have kick ass trim -- processed into bubble, crumble/shatter and butter - then shit bud.
That's a big part of the beauty of my little weedpatch. Whenever I step out my side door for a smoke, I spend time looking over the plants.
I got buds off of branches and into jars yesterday. I still have to finish trim, but it's looking like my yield on 3.5 plants (3 + 1 stunted runt; my fifth foxtailed like crazy and I'll be giving her to a friend to make edibles and lotion) will be about 2 pounds of finished bud when it's all said and done. That's about 10 ounces per plant, which is almost twice as much as I'd managed before, and much more than I ever imagined I'd get out of 7 gallon pots. I'm very pleased with how this season went, to say the least, and I'm looking forward to next year.
jonas is right, there is no substitute for thoroughly checking the plants every day. my issue was the tops of the kolas were 10' high, so hard to get a good look at them. Will be giving the platform and screen more thought next season,
initially thought my biggest plant was all trash but think i was able to salvage a bit.
Should have taken more / better pics, but ended up with 20 oz of A quality bud from 8 plants, clones, planted outdoors in June, Harvested mid Sept... with lots of ash on them. 3 plants never had their resin flow (girl scout cookies, with one being stunted), so most of the weight was from 2 Purple Diesel, 2 Blue Magoo, and a Black Dog clone. Shit's really stony, so happy about that, but cured a little too quickly in the paper sacks, so didn't achieve the smell I was hoping for (a little leafy smelling)
Too early to give reviews, PLF. My LSD just started curing, and it smells fantastic. Most buds are small, but it's pretty crystally. I ended up with just over 13 oz for 2 plants. I'll try it out next weekend.
Scooby Snacks has been drying for a week, and I'm maybe 2/3 through trimming. The buds are bigger and frostier than last year, and that was a killer crop. I should end up with 24-26 oz off 2 plants. It has a few more weeks before tasting.
Same here. I won't sample my buds until they've had at least a month in the jar. I will say though that I stoned as fuck from smoking some kif I collected from my trim tray earlier.
Not a great year here in the NW. The triple digit temps, the single digit humidity, and the SMOKE and ASH in the air forced the bud development to come to a dead stop .Got about a half pound each from an LSD. a Light Saber, and a Durban Poison.
I made a bunch of ice hash yesterday. My only tip is to give it the me to settle. I got a bit excited on the first batch and forgot that step. Second batch was the same quantity of the exact same popcorn and trimmings, and I got 3X as much. The difference was that I let it settle for 15 minutes.
Brian it's Ancient OG. Numbers on this garden? 400 gallons, 12 foot posts, 6-10 turkey bags, one chest freezer, ~1LB live rosin, multiplied by four plants. One drying room @60/60, staggered harvest.
You wanna grow any more weed than that down here and you either gotta cut in the reveneur man, grow bigger balls, or get a spot that's not as visible from the road.
best year for cultivation since I've lived in Oregon.
Well, it's a little gambling, a little dancing, a little art, and a lot of lessons through the years. But no bottled inputs.
I firmly believe cannabis is a human right and it is my purpose to cultivate and share it until I am no longer physically able to move upon this earth. I have seen it save lives in a multitude of ways, including my own. And this has little to do with money, really. Sure everything costs. But good, clean, potent medicine grown with intent is simply worth more than money.
California actually has a much longer season, I know several cultivators that grow plants twice this size. Legit 20 pounders. I don't have the right aspect or duration on this land to do that, but if anybody else in southern Oregon is still growing ten, twelve pounders or bigger I'd like to connect.
still killin it I see PH.. good work as always sir. love GMO. I think we were speaking about it about a year or so ago.. I had The Village version and was blown away too
hitting a face off OG x animal mints cross from seed junky grown by Fig Farms. also have there Sunrise which is a sherb x purple fig cross that is super fire too
If there was a strain that put a region on the map, it might well have been the Mazari strain...one might argue that in the absence of the Mazari strain the cannabis scene would be slightly askew, in the same way that without the Kingston Trio the Grateful Dead would be a bit different.
If there was a house band for the revolution of consciousness, a clarion call to arms across the front lines of the war to get the herb to the people, it was Rod & the I-Deals...or so I've been told.
Nice pics everyone. Sorry I dropped off the thread for a bit. I only got about a QP from my harvest- it came out pretty good.. a little darker than I was expecting based on the nugs appearance on the plant while growing. Pic below.
Currently have 7 going now. 3 OG Bubble Gum. 2 Trainwreck. 2 Critical
Exactly what I told you to expect. Im guessing you pulled 3 with scrap. Your plants are underfed. You under watered in your last venture and are over watering in your current venture.
If you want to go 'live resin' you need to deep freeze. Expect less product w more potency. Once it is deeply frozen crack the nugs -- you need as much surface area as you can get to extract the THC.
I'm no pro but when someone tells me that they get a 30% return on whatever extraction they're doing I know that there's plenty of garbage in their final product. Stick to trying for 10% -- if im throwing in a qp of nug im looking for 12 grams of killer. In other words you can't extract anymore THC than whats contained in your base material.
I just ran a 1/2 lb plant for live resin -- all nugs (not my test but a strain that comes in at 20-22%thc) -- and the return was 27g of clear as glass shatter. Ill make another run and probaly pull out 6-10 grams more.
I'll run bubble bags this weekend --- 3lb of popcorn and solid trim --- and ill probably get 9-10oz. Knowing that my purity will be 60ish%. Start w a frozen trim/nug and add lots and lots of ice. After your initial spin let it sit for 45min to an hour before you start pulling the bags. Once you scrape out the first run stack the bags, stir and let sit for another hour and pull again. Depending on the source material pull 2 or 3 times. The first bag pull just set aside... Combine the other 2-3 bag pulls but don't press(water will stick and cause mold), lay out on cardboard until dry. Once its dry I put into wax paper, cover with a towel, and press with a heated iron.
Jonas- do you have a recommended feeding schedule? I'm going for a recycled "living soil" approach.. trying to stay organic.
Regarding over watering, I'm giving 1 gallon of water per pot once every 4 days. That seems like too much? I am getting 15-20% run off in the tray which I thought was what one should strive for? I haven't had gnat issues so far so thought I was doing OK with over watering.
to make sure the end product is as clean as possible. same concept as washing vegetables before consuming. the nugs are sticky and grab even more dust, ash from widlfire smoke and other nasty shit from all the cars that drive by. i was amazed that after the wash the 5 gallon bucket was clouded with dirt and had a brown tint to it. was also amazed that there was no damage to the trichromes or to the buds. end product is way smoother to smoke then the batch I didn't wash.
i was able to pull 9 grams of light blond hash from 60 grams of trim and an oz of bud, which isn't a bad ratio.
<<i prolly need to make hash with my beater material.
i use a kayaking oar for the 1st run and then a drill with a long paddle like extension to beat the shit out of the ice/water/buds.
Jay - Organic is a great way. In door with soil and organic nutes work great in a clean room. Sometimes the combo attracts bugs -- get some predatory insects if needed.
Most new strains require full throttle nutes. It used to be - especially in doors - to go 1/4 to half strength - and work from there. It seems now that if you dont go full strength(after a few nodes have grown on the plant) you'll see yellowing(not sickly looking - a yellow fade from nitrogen deficiency) and eventually small flowers. Indoors if I didn't have tables set up i'd run DWC buckets - change water every week or so -- get a truncheon meter to test the mix. Some plants wont work well past 800ppm others want double that. Maybe start with feeding every 3 or 4 days lightly and see how they react. If you see results but still a little yellowing kick it up a notch.
I should have worded the watering a different way. Get rid of any run off as the roots need some breathing room and don't need to sit in cold water. If its leaching that much id turn it down a bit. Get a cheap moisture meter from home depot -- right now the garden center is trying to get rid of any and all garden merch. Its usually a combo ph/moisture meter. I don't think ph is an issue, but just watch as sometimes actively composting materials get a little on the hot side. It's great practice to run the same strain(s) a few times before mixing it up.
I have many years but I'm still a rookie. Plenty of other people on this board might contradict or add much more than I can offer.
Thanks for all the info. What do you mean by full throttle nutes?
To provide a little more info, I have worm castings with mulch layer of sweet peet on top and alf alfa meal and kelp meal top dressed. For last run, that was it for my feeding during veg.
By full throttle I mean full strength on the bottle's feed chart. Get yourself some Earthjuice veg, bloom, and catalyst. Castings provide some great support to the plants -- as do all compost teas or soil mixes -- most of the time there is not enough juice to make a nice dense flower. I can only speak for myself, and the formula might have changed, but I would only use sweet peet outside. I knew the original guys very well and had lots of free product -- used outdoor only for certain veggies.
Hey B! Rutz. Yeah a new strain that packs a punch. Should be colorful & tasty buds.
<<<>>>to make sure the end product is as clean as possible. same concept as washing vegetables before consuming. the nugs are sticky and grab even more dust, ash from widlfire smoke and other nasty shit from all the cars that drive by. i was amazed that after the wash the 5 gallon bucket was clouded with dirt and had a brown tint to it. was also amazed that there was no damage to the trichromes or to the buds. end product is way smoother to smoke then the batch I didn't wash.
What better place than the Weed thread to share news of a (socially distant, covid-aware) zoner meetup for a little sesh on a beautiful fall afternoon in the great outdoors? I had the pleasure of meeting Strawbud today up at Fort Tejon State Park at the top of the Grapevine. Gifts were shared, doobs were smoked (but not passed), and stories told, and my life on the black screen got a little bit richer today.
"It’s just who I am,’’ he said. “It has no effect on me from a negative standpoint. It’s just what I do and how I am and how I’m going to die. There’s no explanation. There’s no beginning, there’s no end."
For sure and the pleasure was all mine, Mike! It was great meeting you and sharing some good stories, laughs, and really positive vibes. That State Park is a nice little gem too with extremely easy I-5 access as well.
Keep On Keepin' On, Zoner Community! Enjoy the Holiday Season and stay safe/be well.
House Passes Landmark Bill Decriminalizing Marijuana
WASHINGTON — The House on Friday passed sweeping legislation that would decriminalize marijuana and expunge nonviolent marijuana-related convictions, as Democrats sought to roll back and compensate for decades of drug policies that have disproportionately affected low-income communities of color.
The 228-164 vote to approve the measure was bipartisan, and it was the first time either a chamber of Congress had ever endorsed the legalization of cannabis. The bill would remove the drug from the Controlled Substances Act and authorize a 5 percent tax on marijuana that would fund community and small business grant programs to help those most impacted by the criminalization of marijuana.
Hope to pass my test soon so I can partake. Tested positive, lol, on the past two and haven't smoked since 11/10! Nice to take a break but it helps with stomach issues.
Harvested a new batch 4 days ago now- 6 small plants hanging upside down right now. I did 2 month veg/2 month flower. If anyone has an organic feeding schedule I'd appreciate it. I have 4 seeds left of either Bubblegum OG or Critical.. I forget which they are.
Anyone have a recommendation for keeping bud fresh in the jar? I harvested about 8 weeks ago now and the bud in my jars is too dry to smoke now; going to make into butter.
cure your weed right and eliminate boveda from your vocabulary.
admittedly living in a high desert environment certainly does present its own set of challenges, and in general just requires more juggling and babysitting to get it right.
but really those little chemical laden packages are just imitating what plant material already does for us perfectly. a small piece of lettuce if you must.
I've read a few posts on other sites that made the same claim, but that hasn't been my experience. I've found that the flavors and aromas hold up well, and they do a great job of managing moisture levels. They add some where it's needed, or take it away where it's not.
If i told you I've (first hand) actually observed the paper changing color and delaminating as it sublimated the volatile terpene solvents across months of time, would you believe me?
At that point, I decided it was probably just redundant to send the actual soaked paper sample to the lab...
So no, I don't actually have proof. But rock on. YMMV. Certainly everybody gets down a little different.
lol. I wouldn't doubt you, Bss, but again, that's not been my experience. I have stuff that's been in jars for five months since last season's harvest, and the herb smells great and the Bovedas aren't breaking down or getting discolored. But as you said, YMMV, and it often does.
I was guessing your stuff is from seed, ogkb. Plants from seed always seem to have a more vigorous look to them. No LEDs though? Your electric bill must be outrageous running 2 x 600W, not to mention managing the heat they produce.
I have used, generally like, and had no adverse issues with Bovid packs. I forget the different humidity targets they offer but the ones around 60%-ish seem best. Yes, I like that that they are designed to keep a fairly even RH in the jar but a well and carefully planned and executed harvest/dry/cure should mostly take care of things and I only use them in the smaller stash jars that are at room temp and ready for action.
On the other hand, I longer term store packed vacuum sealed jars in the freezer that keep weed very "fresh".
This is the end of my last harvest from Jan 2018 and it looks, smells, tastes, and kicks like new!
Old fucks like Mike and I grew up on 'mersh and Mexi brick weed that was sprayed with all sorts of illegal pesticides and would turn your lips numb. In relative terms, a little Boveda is like a walk in the Garden of Eden!
Growing up back east, I remember Columbian brick weed and some Jamaican occasionally, but not much, if any, Mexican smoke. But still, we're talking seeds and stems schwag until the first sinsemilla started showing up in the early 80s, so the provenance of the bud is pretty much a distinction without a difference.
And Turtle, my harvest season situation is pretty much the same here with the Devil winds blowing and single digit humidity, and I don't really have the room for a humidity controlled drying space. I only need to hang my stuff for about 4-5 days before the branches are snapping and it's time to go into jars.
You guys in the more arid spots might consider a grow tent for drying. You can hang a solid pound in a 4x4 tent, and really just need a circulatory fan clipped to one of the poles and one of those little "as seen on tv" Arctic-air (humidifier) conditioners in there. 3x3 is even better as it's less airspace to have to manipulate. Digital thermometer/rh and you're up and running. Keep it in the coolest room of the house.
might have to rearrange the furniture in there a little for a few weeks at a time, but these things go up and down easily enough, and a lot of you dope smokers probably have one or two growing tents around already. A basic but purposeful little setup like this can really go a long way towards a more desirable curing environment and a more thorough, long term stable cure. You really want to aim to keep your weed hanging 2+ weeks without it crunching out before it goes into paper bags.
I use a 4x4 tent and can easily hang 6lbs in it by making walls of weed with hanging the plastic trellis vertically and hanging the bud on it.
My last indoor run of london poundcake 75
.
.
I popped 31 different strains which was around 300 seeds. About half were feminized and the other half regulars. If I find some good males I'll save for making my own hybrids.
>>>>> I harvested about 8 weeks ago now and the bud in my jars is too dry to smoke now;
Mine stay pretty fresh for months in the jar.
Are you using well-sealed canning jars?
I use a half-gallon jar for long term storage, and transfer some once a week to a small jar for use. That way the big jar doesn't have to get opened so often.
It's great easy to grow produces really good and gets lots of color with a gassy citrus smell. I got this from clone for Z$8/clone. Most clones I get cost me 7-8 and rarely 9-10. It came from Berner's mom so I know its solid.

A new thread wouldn't be so bad, especially if this one is archived. Time for the Spring WEED edition of '21, seeds sprouting, clones rooting, birds singing...
speaking of archiving, please archive all political threads to the politics folder now that the election is over....including the fake one.
Other Stuff should be for topics such as recipes, music recs, pics, dangerous home hobbies, funky art and queries such as, how does glue work?, etc., etc.

I'll be uploading pics this
I'll be uploading pics this week- 7 days into flower cycle at this point and the posture of the plants have changed, presumably to accommodate those nuggets. First time here- total n00b.
Indoor grow- I've been having a hard time keeping the humidity in my tent down during lights off. Is this common typically? Usually shoots to ~60% with lights off right now. I live in southern New England and the summers are pretty damn hot. I can get the tent down to 47-50% with the lights on- which I'm more comfortable with... hoping lights off doesn't become a problem. Air circulation is good... I find it helps when I crack the tent for lights off too to air it out a bit.
Any input appreciated- pics coming later. Doing fully organic. Topdressing with alf alfa meal and kelp powder... going for the living soil thing... probably going to ditch my smart pots after this grow as, from what I've been told by some folks on Grass City, these are definitely not helping the humidity battle I'm fighting right now. Overall, the 5 plants look pretty good.. my tent is 4 x 8' and I had two BestVA 3000W (615 watt pull from wall each) going. This week I realized the 5 pots all fit on one side so moved them all to one side and dropped down to one light for savings on my electric bill.
..with my central air running and this little science project, I almost fainted when opening my bill from N Grid. ...just got approved for a $4k grant from my state for solar panels since the angle of my roof and amount of sunlight qualify me... also getting $4k from federal income tax credit which winds down after next year. Just awaiting the financing to go through which shouldn't really be an issue as I do have a great credit score... just waiting to hear back... little curious if I get shut down as we're in a recession and I think money is going to be harder to be lended.

My 4 outdoor plants this year:
2 x Scooby Snacks
2 x LSD
I did Scooby last year and love the strain. The plants yielded 9-11 oz each. Right now they are 6.5' high and 4' diameter, just starting to flower.
The LSD is new to me. The plants show like classic indica, short and squat. They started flowering over a week ago. I don't know what they'll ultimately yield, but they should have some monster buds. They already stink like crazy. It's can't imagine what it will be like in 6-7 weeks.

Does your tent have an
Does your tent have an exhaust fan jay? This is in addition to an oscillating circulatory fan (which is also pretty necessary.) If not, it needs one. The fan should draw room temperature air into the tent through the lower vents and exhaust at the top ducted to somewhere outside of the growing space or room. That said; put the exhaust fan on a thermostat switch with temp and humidity adjustments. If your tent is large enough and still needs more dehumidification, put a dehuey in the tent. Point the exhaust away from the plants so they don't get wind burned. I prefer a very stripped down and simplified growing space, and would defer to dehumidifying the room (I take air) personally. The real risk here especially if feeding quick uptake nitrogen sources, in not getting the humidity under control is moldy plants next..

to add to what Bss said, I
to add to what Bss said, I keep the house at 77 and the humidity runs around 50 - 55% all summer in the heart of the midwest (86% humidity today...fn miserable outside). It would be cheaper to cool the small bedroom, but my house is under 700 sq. ft. so my electric and gas combined are around $90/mo., tents, ac and all. I have a panasonic panaflo whisper quiet "bathroom" exhaust fan at the top of a 2 x 4 tent just above the light (was my flower tent, but now used for clones and veg), stays on 24 hrs and draws air from both sides from the bottom and up and out. 3 air exchanges/min. and never had a problem with any diseases. Like Bss stated, a small dehumid for the room (instead of the tent) may be all you need and always keep the air moving. Don't get discouraged, keep trying and Good luck!!!
>> I find it helps when I crack the tent for lights off too to air it out a bit.
be careful of any room light leaking into the tent during lights off (hermies)

Thank you both for the input.
Thank you both for the input. So I do have an exhaust fan and a dehumidifier. I'll have an opportunity to take pictures this evening.
To elaborate a bit more:
I have a 4' x 8' tent in a spare room in my basement. Outside the tent I have a 70 pint General Electric dehumidifier which certainly works well for removing moisture from the air. I have it draining into a storage bin that I empty every couple of days and it is HEAVY. The issue I see with the dehumidifier is it raises the temps in the room into the 80s so I bought a portable AC unit to cool the room as well.
In my tent, I have a 6" hyper fan and carbon filter expelling the exhaust air through ducting out of the house entirely. I currently have it on at around 50% of its max... I've read that when its very humid outside you don't want the thing turned up too high cause you'll be pulling that humid air back into the room from outside. I have 3 large "box" fans that you can pick up at any store that generate some serious air movement.. my tent came with a few extra fan straps so last night I fasted one fan and afixed it to the side of the tent and it was swirling the air from 3-4 feet off ground... this brought the RH in the tent down to 53% during lights off, which is obviously better than the 60% in my post from yesterday.. I can live with that, I think?
I drop my kid off at her grandmas tonight so will have a little photo sess.
Sweet offer, Jaz. No spot taken as I do have a fan/filter already. From what I understand, I got an industry leader too.

^ Last note is my tent is in a pitch dark room so cracking the tent during lights off doesn't introduce any light leakage.
Bad idea/good idea? I know a benefit to using a tent is to have a secure environment for the plants... does this undermine that?
Top of Page Bottom of Page PermalinkFull Name: Mice elf
No, you shouldn't really need
No, you shouldn't really need to open the tent to control temp or airflow. Yes the tent's purpose is to create a closed environment.
Another thing I'm realizing is that You may have a lot more soil than root mass and vegetable matter in there. Smaller containers, watered more frequently (people get lazy about this, but in reality you need to be in there every day anyways, so..) will do a lot of the work keeping rh under control mostly on their own in the future. This also allows more opportunities for feeding. While it's a nice thought, "Living soil" containers really don't allow for any flexibility when it comes to plant size, root mass, and individual plant demands and vigor. A common mistake newer indoor growers make is growing too small of plants, in too big of containers, in too big of a light/airspace, usually overwatered.
My advice in your situation is to set the ac unit five degrees lower than you think you should, and also let this unit do the bulk of your dehumidifying work. (Yes, air conditioners do naturally dehumidify also) Keep the door to this room closed. Keep the heater vents closed also. Cover and insulate the windows for increased effectiveness.
Are you using something other than HPS lighting? LED and LEC lights have a lower heat signature. In some cases this is good. In yours, my guess is it could be contributing. I've yet to see anything outperform a bare vertical bulb in any tent setup. You need/want a good temp and humidity swing throughout the days and nights, and choice of lighting directly effects this.

Imo, no. As long as your room
Hi Jay. Imo, no. As long as your room/ dwelling is secure and clean you're good. I've grown indoor for almost 30 yrs., everything from refrigerator boxes, plywood enclosures and finally tents; in closets, false walls and basements and not once have i had a problem with mold, aphids, mites, thrips or anything else. detrimental to the plants. The ocassional house spiders are more than welcome. Simple housekeeping goes a long way, and preventing a problem is far easier, cheaper and less emotionally investing than chasing a problem.

Thanks Judit
watch out for these guys too. Bt is okay to spray on your plants and will keep caterpillars away. I like to us powdered yucca as a wetting agent. When I say no spraying, what I am really saying is no spraying any oils or chemicals, only water solubles and generally not on mature fruit. Spraying beneficials, or ferments/teas/etc generally ok ymmv
see the brown spots on that lower bud there? Caterpillar shit. If you find these guys, most of the branch will probably need to be composted. What caterpillars don't physically destroy, they shit all over. And nobody wants to smoke any of that. Inspect vigorously and cull / prune liberally as necessary. Plants at this stage of growth need to be hand managed.

Top of Page Bottom of Page PermalinkFull Name: Mice elf
A wetting agent or surfactant
A wetting agent or surfactant decreases the surface tension of the liquid being applied (in this case, bacillus thurgensis used in a foliar spray) which allows it to "stick" to the plants rather than just bead up and roll off. It only takes a tiny bit. Like maybe a quarter of a gram.
when applying a foliar spray, it is important to ensure 100% coverage of the plant. Stalks and undersides of leaves too. Do this right before sun up or sun down.
if you maintain houseplants, a leaf of live aloe can be de-skinned, emulsified in water, and then added to your spray mix just the same. Or powdered aloe is also available and can be used here.
A few drops of dr bronners liquid Castile soap can be used the same way and many people might already have this available in their house.

Can you put an oscillating fan on
your girls? It won't drop the humidity but it will improve air flow which is critical, especially at night when temp drops and humidity spikes. Bud rot , or botrytis, s a symptom of too high of humidity allowed for too long of a period of time. From my experience, cannabis flowers can take nightly humidity as high as 90% on a regular basis as long as daytime temps drop the humidity and good overall airflow is provided both day and night. But developing flowers can't take high humidity both day and night repeatedly, even with adequate airflow.
Lots of good online sources with pics too if you google "cannabis disease ID." I'm not sure how much you've grown before, but it's always nice to see someone trying. It almost always boils down to the basics of adequate light, moisture, food and airflow and you'll do well. Best of luck and don't get discouraged.

They say dry trim is best. Pull off fan leaves and hang stems upside down in a dark, cool, low humidity room with fans on them. When the smallest branch is dry enough to "snap," then trim.
Cut trimmed buds off the stems and put in brown paper bags. Hang back up in that room. Give them a shake every day. When they feel really dry, in about a week, start curing in jars.
Last year I had rot on one of my plants, the one with the huge buds. I wet trimmed that one, to be sure it was getting enough airflow.

I love this thread. I have to
I love this thread. I have to say, my own personal gold medal here goes to Mike Edwards. Damn, dude! Way to go!!! I do something similar with the LST, but I haven't achieved that beautiful effect so completely yet. Plus, my space is really small so it's not all that feasible. I find it really helps to constanly clean the bottom part of the branches, too. Plants grow popcorn nugs all over the place, but you have to pick them off to allow the plant to focus energies on the top kola. At least, in my space that works as the bottom layer gets no light anyways, so those little buds just drag the plant down.
As for drying, again, my space is particular, but this time I tried something different. I wet trimmed the buds down to their final result and then put them out on drying racks. I'd never used a drying rack before but it worked like a charm. About 48 hours on the rack and then into paper bags for two or three weeks. It's the best dry and cure job I've ever pulled off and this is a really challenging phase for me.
Anyways, my new round of girlies just germinated on Thursday. 3 gelato and 3 pineaplle express. It's an 80x80x160cm tent and last time I pulled in 270g. Gonna see if I can match or improve that this time...
And yeah, BK, I grew a few LSD-25 autos a couple rounds ago and they definitely have nice big fat kolas naturally. But again, peeling off all the bottom layers of growth is good (IMO) to get all top kolas and no popcorn. In my experience, this improves the yield, doesn't hurt it, but others may have had different experiences.

The irony to it all is that I smoke so little these days, usually a hit or two after 9:00 pm. Off 4 plants I'll get enough to last a lifetime. I just love looking at it, playing with it, and hooking friends. I especially love giving it to people who truly need it for medical reasons.
I know a dude who was in some elite Special Forces unit, and got blown up in the Battle of Mogadishu. Between the TBI, constant pain and PTSD, he self-medicated with booze for years, until it landed him in a coma. He woke up with severe pancreatitis, on top of the other shit, and has to regularly take dilaudid for the pain. He recently found that weed can help, so that he can take less opiates.
I threw him a 1/4 of Scooby and a 1/4 of Sour Bubble. He was blown away that I gave him that much, and how well both of them worked for the pain.
In my mind, that's what it's all about. Fuck that $400 oz bullshit (or even $200), just hook people up.

And like you said, working with the plant is extremely gratifying; it's like meditation in many ways.

I suspect I'll get more efficient as I progress along but my electric bill has been about $150 more a month right now growing. I've had these plants going for 4.5 months now and have spent about $800 on electricity.. I'm hoping to get a lb but I really don't know..

Looking nice and frosty there
Looking nice and frosty there, Sio. You should use the chart Noodler posted above to help you figure out when to harvest. I stop giving nutes and start flushing when I see some ambers. You should pick up a jewelers loupe to check the trichomes; you can get a decent one for $10-20 on Amazon. Or you can try taking some close-up pics with your phone; that won't magnify the trichomes as well as a loupe, and it's kind of tricky to find the minimum distance the lens can deal with and still find focus, but it should give you a pretty good idea of where your girls are at.

I thought I'd drop some end
I thought I'd drop some end-of-the-season notes in here about my first experiences with mainlining this year.
First off, I need to thank anonymous internet stranger nugbuckets, who wrote the guide I used:
https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets
Nugbuckets mentions that some strains are better suited for mainlining, and I've found that to be true. My Grapefruit Haze and Green Crack main colas stacked up really well, with some lower branching, but my Girl Scout Cookies tops are only about half the size of her bigger sisters'; they're still 6-8 inch main colas, but a lot of her energy went into her lower branches.
The standard model for mainlining seems to be for 16 main stems, and I'm kind of conflicted about this. The pots I grow in are only 7 gallon, which is somewhat on the small side because I need to control the height of my plants. What I found though is that managing 16 main stems once you're in full veg gets pretty complicated. So, I think I might just do eight mains next year, but like I said, I'm conflicted about this and will be pondering what to do over the winter. Also, only doing eight main stems means that only three toppings are needed, which means less stress on the plant and more time for the plant to develop, since toppings typically require about a week or so to bounce back from.
One of the nice things about mainlining is that most of the work is done fairly early in the season, when things typically aren't too busy in the garden. I'm guessing I spent less than 30 minutes a plant doing the toppings and trainings; it was probably more like 10-15 minutes per plant spread out over the course of several weeks.
One thing I noticed this season is that my main stems weren't nearly as uniform as I thought they might be, and I'm guessing this is because I topped things sooner rather than later. I think next year I need to let things develop a bit more before I do my toppings.
My main takeaway from this season is that mainlining is an excellent way to grow weed outdoors. It's looking like I will double my yield from last year with only one other significant change in my method: pHing my water. I used the same commercial soil and organic nutes, and the weather was pretty much the same as it was last year--very hot and all kinds of sunny--and the ratio of usable bud to larf is pretty much ridiculous this year; there is no larf to speak of, which means much less time trimming.
I'm really looking forward to round two of my mainlining experiment next year.

Trimmed the LSD last night
Trimmed the LSD last night and today, took about 15 labor hours to do two plants. After a week of drying the 2 plants come in at a measly 13.5 oz. Although the buds looked huge, they were a conglomeration of small, often whispy buds. A lot of it was untrimmable. I have what seems to be an equal amount of popcorn and trim as I do bud, so it should be a big hash year. The nugs are small, but they are super pungent, sticky, and purple/red.
I'm half done harvesting the Scooby Snacks, which look awesome. The buds are way fatter and frosty than they were last year.

Have to inspect daily. Rot that large didn't happen in one day.
Live by this code if you 'work' outside. It's a part time job and more importantly something is better than nothing. Divide what you think you'll have by 4.
The strains that circulate have been grow in ideal conditions w/a maxed out feedchart. Outdoors, freeballing it for days isn't going to cut it. Find an 'acclimated' strain if you can't spend the time with it -- or a franken autoflower.
Brian - you weighing trim with bud? Nothing is untrimmable. You might end up with half of what you thought you had but leaving that leaf is just going to end up with hotter burning shitty tasting. Id rather have kick ass trim -- processed into bubble, crumble/shatter and butter - then shit bud.

That's a big part of the beauty of my little weedpatch. Whenever I step out my side door for a smoke, I spend time looking over the plants.
I got buds off of branches and into jars yesterday. I still have to finish trim, but it's looking like my yield on 3.5 plants (3 + 1 stunted runt; my fifth foxtailed like crazy and I'll be giving her to a friend to make edibles and lotion) will be about 2 pounds of finished bud when it's all said and done. That's about 10 ounces per plant, which is almost twice as much as I'd managed before, and much more than I ever imagined I'd get out of 7 gallon pots. I'm very pleased with how this season went, to say the least, and I'm looking forward to next year.

jonas is right, there is no substitute for thoroughly checking the plants every day. my issue was the tops of the kolas were 10' high, so hard to get a good look at them. Will be giving the platform and screen more thought next season,

Should have taken more / better pics, but ended up with 20 oz of A quality bud from 8 plants, clones, planted outdoors in June, Harvested mid Sept... with lots of ash on them. 3 plants never had their resin flow (girl scout cookies, with one being stunted), so most of the weight was from 2 Purple Diesel, 2 Blue Magoo, and a Black Dog clone.

Scooby Snacks has been drying for a week, and I'm maybe 2/3 through trimming. The buds are bigger and frostier than last year, and that was a killer crop. I should end up with 24-26 oz off 2 plants. It has a few more weeks before tasting.

If you want to go 'live resin
If you want to go 'live resin' you need to deep freeze. Expect less product w more potency. Once it is deeply frozen crack the nugs -- you need as much surface area as you can get to extract the THC.
I'm no pro but when someone tells me that they get a 30% return on whatever extraction they're doing I know that there's plenty of garbage in their final product. Stick to trying for 10% -- if im throwing in a qp of nug im looking for 12 grams of killer. In other words you can't extract anymore THC than whats contained in your base material.
I just ran a 1/2 lb plant for live resin -- all nugs (not my test but a strain that comes in at 20-22%thc) -- and the return was 27g of clear as glass shatter. Ill make another run and probaly pull out 6-10 grams more.
I'll run bubble bags this weekend --- 3lb of popcorn and solid trim --- and ill probably get 9-10oz. Knowing that my purity will be 60ish%. Start w a frozen trim/nug and add lots and lots of ice. After your initial spin let it sit for 45min to an hour before you start pulling the bags. Once you scrape out the first run stack the bags, stir and let sit for another hour and pull again. Depending on the source material pull 2 or 3 times. The first bag pull just set aside... Combine the other 2-3 bag pulls but don't press(water will stick and cause mold), lay out on cardboard until dry. Once its dry I put into wax paper, cover with a towel, and press with a heated iron.

Regarding over watering, I'm giving 1 gallon of water per pot once every 4 days. That seems like too much? I am getting 15-20% run off in the tray which I thought was what one should strive for? I haven't had gnat issues so far so thought I was doing OK with over watering.

<<why do you wash them jr?
<<why do you wash them jr?
to make sure the end product is as clean as possible. same concept as washing vegetables before consuming. the nugs are sticky and grab even more dust, ash from widlfire smoke and other nasty shit from all the cars that drive by. i was amazed that after the wash the 5 gallon bucket was clouded with dirt and had a brown tint to it. was also amazed that there was no damage to the trichromes or to the buds. end product is way smoother to smoke then the batch I didn't wash.
i was able to pull 9 grams of light blond hash from 60 grams of trim and an oz of bud, which isn't a bad ratio.
<<i prolly need to make hash with my beater material.
i use a kayaking oar for the 1st run and then a drill with a long paddle like extension to beat the shit out of the ice/water/buds.

Drill with a paint mixer attached is the goto.
Jay - Organic is a great way. In door with soil and organic nutes work great in a clean room. Sometimes the combo attracts bugs -- get some predatory insects if needed.
Most new strains require full throttle nutes. It used to be - especially in doors - to go 1/4 to half strength - and work from there. It seems now that if you dont go full strength(after a few nodes have grown on the plant) you'll see yellowing(not sickly looking - a yellow fade from nitrogen deficiency) and eventually small flowers. Indoors if I didn't have tables set up i'd run DWC buckets - change water every week or so -- get a truncheon meter to test the mix. Some plants wont work well past 800ppm others want double that. Maybe start with feeding every 3 or 4 days lightly and see how they react. If you see results but still a little yellowing kick it up a notch.
I should have worded the watering a different way. Get rid of any run off as the roots need some breathing room and don't need to sit in cold water. If its leaching that much id turn it down a bit. Get a cheap moisture meter from home depot -- right now the garden center is trying to get rid of any and all garden merch. Its usually a combo ph/moisture meter. I don't think ph is an issue, but just watch as sometimes actively composting materials get a little on the hot side. It's great practice to run the same strain(s) a few times before mixing it up.
I have many years but I'm still a rookie. Plenty of other people on this board might contradict or add much more than I can offer.

By full throttle I mean full strength on the bottle's feed chart. Get yourself some Earthjuice veg, bloom, and catalyst. Castings provide some great support to the plants -- as do all compost teas or soil mixes -- most of the time there is not enough juice to make a nice dense flower. I can only speak for myself, and the formula might have changed, but I would only use sweet peet outside.

House Passes Landmark Bill
House Passes Landmark Bill Decriminalizing Marijuana
WASHINGTON — The House on Friday passed sweeping legislation that would decriminalize marijuana and expunge nonviolent marijuana-related convictions, as Democrats sought to roll back and compensate for decades of drug policies that have disproportionately affected low-income communities of color.
The 228-164 vote to approve the measure was bipartisan, and it was the first time either a chamber of Congress had ever endorsed the legalization of cannabis. The bill would remove the drug from the Controlled Substances Act and authorize a 5 percent tax on marijuana that would fund community and small business grant programs to help those most impacted by the criminalization of marijuana.

Yes, I like that that they are designed to keep a fairly even RH in the jar but a well and carefully planned and executed harvest/dry/cure should mostly take care of things and I only use them in the smaller stash jars that are at room temp and ready for action.
On the other hand, I longer term store packed vacuum sealed jars in the freezer that keep weed very "fresh".
This is the end of my last harvest from Jan 2018 and it looks, smells, tastes, and kicks like new!

Old fucks like Mike and I
Old fucks like Mike and I grew up on 'mersh and Mexi brick weed that was sprayed with all sorts of illegal pesticides and would turn your lips numb. In relative terms, a little Boveda is like a walk in the Garden of Eden!

i also use(d) bovedas....
when i harvest(ed) here, it's always bone fucking dry, santa anas or pretty hot out. I don't have the space to dedicate to a humidifier setup.
i've wondered about their impact...but they work..
would have been starting up the season here but was going to take a long trip...
and i'm also old enough to remember the mexi sess.

Growing up back east, I
Growing up back east, I remember Columbian brick weed and some Jamaican occasionally, but not much, if any, Mexican smoke. But still, we're talking seeds and stems schwag until the first sinsemilla started showing up in the early 80s, so the provenance of the bud is pretty much a distinction without a difference.
And Turtle, my harvest season situation is pretty much the same here with the Devil winds blowing and single digit humidity, and I don't really have the room for a humidity controlled drying space. I only need to hang my stuff for about 4-5 days before the branches are snapping and it's time to go into jars.

You guys in the more arid
You guys in the more arid spots might consider a grow tent for drying. You can hang a solid pound in a 4x4 tent, and really just need a circulatory fan clipped to one of the poles and one of those little "as seen on tv" Arctic-air (humidifier) conditioners in there. 3x3 is even better as it's less airspace to have to manipulate. Digital thermometer/rh and you're up and running. Keep it in the coolest room of the house.
might have to rearrange the furniture in there a little for a few weeks at a time, but these things go up and down easily enough, and a lot of you dope smokers probably have one or two growing tents around already. A basic but purposeful little setup like this can really go a long way towards a more desirable curing environment and a more thorough, long term stable cure. You really want to aim to keep your weed hanging 2+ weeks without it crunching out before it goes into paper bags.

I use a 4x4 tent and can easily hang 6lbs in it by making walls of weed with hanging the plastic trellis vertically and hanging the bud on it.
My last indoor run of london poundcake 75
.
.
I popped 31 different strains which was around 300 seeds. About half were feminized and the other half regulars. If I find some good males I'll save for making my own hybrids.

how's the pound cake?
how's the pound cake?
my take is it's like all the other hyped cookie shit -- rich vanilla, creamy gas, gorgeous to look at.
$500 for seed packs tho? jigga laughing.

>>>>> I harvested about 8 weeks ago now and the bud in my jars is too dry to smoke now;
Mine stay pretty fresh for months in the jar.
Are you using well-sealed canning jars?
I use a half-gallon jar for long term storage, and transfer some once a week to a small jar for use. That way the big jar doesn't have to get opened so often.

It's great easy to grow produces really good and gets lots of color with a gassy citrus smell. I got this from clone for Z$8/clone. Most clones I get cost me 7-8 and rarely 9-10. It came from Berner's mom so I know its solid.

A new thread wouldn't be so bad, especially if this one is archived. Time for the Spring WEED edition of '21, seeds sprouting, clones rooting, birds singing...
speaking of archiving, please archive all political threads to the politics folder now that the election is over....including the fake one.
Other Stuff should be for topics such as recipes, music recs, pics, dangerous home hobbies, funky art and queries such as, how does glue work?, etc., etc.
